    I used the nickname my fiance gave me when we were 5 months into dating, and I used his nickname he was given in......i don't know, he has had it the whole time I have known him (4yrs, 10mns). I find it kinda cute!

    At first I considered using someone elses name and rearraanging the letters and using mine and my wife's favorite numbers and putting them in sequential order then using the first letters of each of the zodiac signs and adding them at the end. Then I stopped and thought about this and said screw it. I'll just use the first 2 letters of my first name and my last name. So that's what I did.

    I was the co-coordinator for the first teen institute in Arizona and after the week long event we debriefed with the team. We were sitting around and just about every answer from our boss was "steve will do it" and after about a half hour one of the team leaders from Nogales started giggling and said "Stev'll do it" and that has sort of stuck. So I thought it would be perfect for this journey cause I'm gonna do it. So Stev'll it is.

    I chose mine due to the fact of living a straight edge life. And I believe that we should always stay true to our selves hence: stayxtrue :)

    Well, my last name is Hershey and in high school my nickname was (surprise!) Hersheybar. I graduated in 98, so I used to go by hersheybar98. That got too long to type everywhere, so I shortened it to hbar98.

    After several rejected nickname attempts, I was getting desperate... Finally chose mtlorchid because I live in Montreal, and I love orchids. As I said, I was getting desperate for a nickname. :smile:
