Default Whats in a name?

Im really bored, and I got to wondering why people choose the screen name they choose. So, where did your screen name come from?

I fly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the Army, and helicopter pilots dont much like us. One of them called us 'wannabe pilots,' so after that we just started calling ourselves the Poser Pilots. Its now our platoon nickname. And six is my favorite number, so I added it on lol.

Growing up my close friends all called each other by big body parts they had. Like Head, Neck, Fatt, and Lobes. Can you guess which one was me? So after a while the name Fatt stuck, everyone calls me Fatt, I hate my real name. Danny is so common. Then for t00fatt, one day I was listening to a TOO$hort song and I was like TOOFATT!! And t00fatt was born...[sm=bling.gif]

First part is obvious I think.

QV was used by Ferrari to describe their 4 valve per cylinder V8's in the early and mid 80's - QuattroValvole

I guess it is Italian for Four Valves

Love Ferraris

Mine started on deployment.... There is a guy in the movie How High if memory serves called Nasty Nate and since my name is Nate it Started, then it got shortened to to just Nasty then somehow along the line Sir got tacked on and thus it became sir nasty which later translated into the fact that after a few army meals or a few MRE's I could clear a ventilated tent because of my upset stomach...
