OT: What's the significance of your 2+2 username?

[TeckChavez]

I played DeltaForce as DingChavez back in 98, he was a character in some Tom Clancy books. When RainboxSix came out everybody new the nick and it lost its obscurity. So I changed it to TeckChavez, which stuck with me through my Tribes and Tribes2 days. I kept it when I started playing poker and used it for my 2+2 nick as well. At the time I registered, I didn't realize that your 2+2 nick should be different than your PP nick but at the level I am at I don't think it makes a difference.

[Freudian]

I find Freud hilarious and people who believe his theories even more hilarious. Pseudoscience amuse me. I am pretty easily amused. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I have never used it as a screenname in any pokerroom though. I am not all that emotionally invested in aliases.

[wiggs73]

My last name is Wiggins and back like 10 years ago, one of my friends randomly started calling me Wiggs to distinguish me from my best friend who happened to share my first name. Then others started doing it. Then I started getting introduced as Wiggs. I like the numbers 7 and 3 for some reason. There it is.

Gobgogbog, good book.

[shmoosh]

My senior year in college my roommate and I who drank ourselves into oblivion nearly every night were having an argument. He attempted to call me a douchebag but was too hammered, instead called me a shmooshbag. In my annebriated state I found this hilarious, shortly after I started my first poker account and "shmoosh" was born.

[schwza]

my last name is schwab. the rza and the gza are in the wu-tang clan, and i figured i'd get the name ready in case they needed me.

[kevstreet]

I like the song "Grey Street", poker has Fourth and Fifth Streets, my name is Kevin plus all these "street" references... thus Kevstreet!

[seke2]

The origin of the name comes from the combination of the names of two good friends of mine from a summer trip, SEth and jaKE. Originally I went by "Gunslinger" in my MUDing days, but had an alternate character named Seke. When I went to play Everquest for the first time, I tried to sign up as Gunslinger and they denied my name since it wasn't fantasy enough, so I went with Seke instead and I've been using it as my online name ever since.

So Seke has been my online alias for most of my gaming days, in MMORPGs and just stuck with it for 2+2. I ended up with the trailing "2" afterwards from when I signed up for some gaming-related message board, forgot my accounts password, and then signed up again and just stuck a 2 after my name. Then I decided it would be too much of a pain to remember what sites I was just "seke" and which ones I was "seke2" so I just went with seke2 everywhere.

[microbet]

My name is Michael Robet.

[tigerite]

From my supporting Hull City ("The Tigers") - I came up with 'tigerite' meaning 'one of the tigers' (or something like that) way before the jewel came around of the same name.
