This was started in the
What is Chuddy? topic, but I decided it's interesting enough to start a topic just for it.
I got my name in 1999 when I first started playing online games on the
MSN Gaming Zone, my favorite game at the time (or most anticipated to play online with) was Flight Simulator 98. You can see now where the first part of my name came from. When I realized "Pilot" was already taken, I needed some numbers, and with some thinking I came up with "51" from Area 51 (I'm sorta into aliens and UFO's). I'm not sure why I added the underscore, but I like it and it makes my name all the more unique. Ever since I came up with it, I've been using "Pilot_51" whenever possible, and when not possible I use the closest variation I can find. People call me "Pilot" for short (which is cool) and occasionally people I don't know call me "51" just to make it shorter (which isn't so cool but I live with it).
Before I had Pilot_51, I had "Mr. Electric" on ICQ, which I used to talk to my sister in college across the state. She helped me think of that name because I liked electronics at the time (now I just like computers). It wasn't very creative and I wasn't comfortable with it, otherwise I probably would've stuck with it.
That's all about my nickname, now it's your turn!
