Where did you get your name? (NC)

[RussianBear]

I'm sure this thread will be locked or deleted, but I'm curious as to what your name on 2+2 means. I am intending this as a way to introduce ourselves to the newer people on the site so they have a rough idea about the various posters here. Feel free to include any information about yourself that you feel comfortable sharing.
As for myself, well, obviously I am Russian and the bear is a symbol often associated with Russia, therefore I chose the name Russian Bear. It is not generally the name I use on poker sites (it is my name on Party and Absolute). I play small stakes online and in private home games in Cleveland where I hail from and venture to Detroit/Windsor and play at the casinos there.
Some people on here have names that I can't figure out at all what they could possibly mean. Do any of you care to share the origins of your 2+2 i.d.?

[Tickner]

My last name.

-Tickner

[zacca37]

my last name is zaccarelli. most call me z, zac attack, z-town, zac dawg, or somethhing along those lines. zacca is probably the most popular and the one i like best myself. 37 was the number i was randomly assigned during my first year of football freshman year of high school. at first it seemed [censored] but I had a really good year being the only 2-way sophomore starter on varsity so i decided to keep the number for the rest of my career. i used it for lacrosse as well but for hockey i was number 10 (my original favorite number - i wore 10 in soccer and b-ball whenever i could). i still wear 37 today in my college f-ball days but unfortunately i suck balls compared to high school.

[DWarrior]

I needed a starcraft name to play with my buddies back in middle school, ZWarrior was taken, so was AWarrior, BWarrior was kinda lame[er than the others], CWarrior was taken, so DWarrior it was.

and I've been too lazy to change it ever since, even though I feel stupid for having such a dumb name sometimes.

I, too, an Russian, I came here when I was 12. Now I attend Rutgers Uni in New Jersey and live just off campus. Play mostly $100nl, but hopefully it'll change soon and I'll move up.

[ajmargarine]

My middle and last initial are A and J. When I was signing up for my first poker account on Pokerstars I was reading a novel by Philip Margolin. Every time I saw the cover, I thought it said margarine, so that word was in my head. ajmargarine just had a nice ring to it, and so it is.

Also, I lock, I delete, I lock. It's all I seem to do anymore. So, I'll let this go, meh, no biggie. Just shoulda had (nc) in the title.
