What does your username mean! :)

My surname is Riley. At school, people called me Ri (Rye)
When I was a lad, there was a kids program on TV called Pie in the Sky or something like that. It was about a spaceman who called some baker who would then bake a pie for him. The spaceman was called Pie-Pilot.
One of my mates decided to call me Ri-Rilot. The Rilot bit stuck and I've been known by that name for over 25 years now.
 
It's my name with my surname initial on the end. Simplicity can be originality.

Comes off sounding like Mario trying to pronounce my first name.
 
My surname is Gibbs and during the middle years of secondary school Star Wars:KOTOR was the game of choice. KOTOR had these little fellas in it, a "Gizka":

As a result, it kind of stuck and my internet alias was born :)
 
Was the first WoW character I created around 4 years ago out of pure randomness and irritation of 'name already in use' or whatever. Just sort of stuck with it for everything else since then.
 
Used to play UT as BadAttitude that came about as a result of many a row with my old man saying, "You've got a bad attitude boy!" (so much I would change now believe me) BA was just a natural progression by abbreviation. Always used to make me giggle when my dutchie friends on teamspeak used to call me Bah rather than B A.
 
I took my username from one of my favourite books by my favourite author; Philip K Dick. The book is Now Wait For Last Year and the character is Gino Molinari. Not sure why I chose that name, but I did and I've just stuck with it. That was 16 years ago.
 
I was "Arseface" for a good six months on these forums, until one day a Don decided it was unsuitable. So I chose another name kind of at random.

My main online identity would also be unsuitable for the forum :p
 
When I was starting out as a DJ, I complained to my mates that I didn't have a 'DJ name' - a lass I was shagging came up with O B Have (my last name is ten Have) and it subsequently stuck... despite asking for it to be on posters for gigs as just Steve ten Have it always appeared as Steve O B Have... *sigh*

... thanks Austin Powers... not.

eh?

EDIT: ah you're from Auckland... I don't think my awesomeness can compete... coming from Wellington an all that...

EDIT2: I still don't know what an AWESOME calibration device is - were you attempting to be witty or just being facetious?

It's a nickname really, my real name is Nathaniel and Naffa somehow evolved from that.
