It's the name I've been using on another forum for a few years now, and it's a song by In Flames, one of the bands which let me into metal, which led me into prog etc. etc.

And the simple abbreviation MMG makes it pretty easy and recognizable.

According to BaldJean/Friede, it means "little butt" in Latin (or something like that).

Mine's been an Internet net since I was about 18 or so (I'm not 25).  I used to frequent a chatroom and needed a name and it popped into my head.  Initially it was just Gecko, but one day someone had that name so I changed it and it's stuck.

I've actually discovered another dude in America with the exact same version of my name, it's disheartening!

I used Ivan_2068 ever7ywhere before using my real name here.
 
Once a friend introduced me to his lunatic girlfriend who was some kind of witch, and when I kissed her face (Peruvians greet girls always with a kiss the face, no shaking hands normally), she entered into some kind of trance.
 
It was spooky, and she said "You're going to die".....I was terrified, after a few seconds with her eyes turned white she continued........."In 2068".
 
I don't know if she's really a psychic, probably just loony, because none of her predictions have come truth, but in that moment I could not do anything that laugh in her face.
 
Since then I use Ivan_2068 everywhere and even some friends call me like that, becuse this guy told everyone I turned pale greenish after the frst part of her trance.

Well, I think every Rush fan should recognize my nickname. I chose it because it sounded good, but especially for its meaning: for those who don't know, the song (from the "Vapor Trails" album) is about Neil Peart's motorcycle trip through America following the deaths of his daughter and his wife. It is about coming back to life after such a tragedy, although with scars that will always show.
 
BTW, my real name, Raffaella, is usually quite hard to spell and/or pronounce for those who don't speak Italian, so I thought a nickname was a much better idea.

The word reached Portugal, probably around 1500, with -tk- (a variant maybe); that's the reason the original form in the Portuguese language was 'kingano', later changed to the present form 'cigano'. Wink

I've been nicknamed "Oliver stoned" by friends because of my higher states of consciousness, and i kept this nickname (my real first name is "Olivier", the french for "Oliver"). This is also a play on word with the movie director "Oliver Stone".

I also discovered that there's a current artist/musician called the same. But if you type" Oliverstoned" in Google, the first answer to come is my progarchives profile. And if you type "oliverstoned" into Google/images (pictures) you'll find various nice pics coming indirectly from my Progarchives posting.

I've heard of the band Rocktopus, Rocktopus!  I thought that's where you got your name from.

I've never heard their music, I just know of their existance.

Genesis and VdGG were College Rock bands at one point, don't dismiss it so easily!

Is that an anagram of your full name? Quite ingenious... My full name is so long that it would be almost impossible to make it into an anagram (and I'm not gifted enough for that).

SOmeone gave me the nickname King of Bizarre (or KOB) becasue I listen to unusual music and know lots of little trivia facts. I misspelled Bizarre as Bizzare accidentally one time, so I just stuck with it.
 
I've also been known as Arctic because my now ex-girlfriend's 4 year old brother couldn't pronounce my name (Erik) correctly, so he just called me Arctic.

Rush reference that is almost never taken on boards like this.


I don't understand what you mean?
Rush has a song called Test for Echo from the album with the same name.  The lyrics have a part that says "video vertigo" so its a Rush reference.  I choose that song for my nickname, because most people go for Cygnus or 2112 or the more popular stuff.

presumably a reference to the mathematical (i.e. Fibonacci) sequences found within Tool's "Lateralus", and their relationship to Archimedes' Golden Spiral, along with the lyrical reference to sprials...

My friends and I use to discuss about prog in a mask, disguise of fictional prog university and we name ourselves after famous polish lawyers.

I am the Chancellor of course and my nickname is Rafał (Raphael) Taubenschlag, who was the polish greatest professor of Roman Law and Theory of Law in 20-30s -  therefore RaphaelT is my PA nick.

But keep it quiet since the nicknames are the university best kept secrets!!

cuncuna is the spanish word for caterpillar. I use to sing a song about this when I was like 10 years old; in a duet with the third girl I fall in love with (I think her name was Allison). Also, a poem I like very much is about those creatures.
