User blog comment:AYET/Why the (nick) name???/@comment-4498721-20120416140028

When I first start registering for some website, I was using random nicknames. But it became hard to keep track of lots of different username/password combinations. So I decided to come with a unique nickname so I don't have to use a different one in case it's already taken. Then first thing came to my mind was combining random words untill I found something good. "multi + ultimate = multimate", it sounded good at the time. But when I tried to register for an e-mail I found out it was already taken, so I added the "pnd" at the end. Since "panda" was already a nickname of mine among my friends, it seemed fine.

Only down side is "multimate_pnd" is kinda long, most games on consoles accept names up to 8 characters, then I just go with "multi" or "panda". For arcade style games that accepts 3 characters for high scores I use "pnd".

And that's all, I guess.
