I got my nick from the 2000AD character, Zenith. Been using it for more than 25 years.

There is a Cmdr called "Psykokow"
I think that in his case, there is no need for explanations (The former Cmdrs will understand)

It's my proper name, not the one T.j likes to call me........ The extra 'L' totally does make me more exotic!
Because children. When I finally caved and agreed to having a PS4 (which I suppose was inevitable given schoolyard culture and the complete ban on using my gaming laptop), we needed an account that would allow them to play Overwatch (damn Sony and it's incomprehensible age-rating-permission system). To avoid the inevitable sibling bloodshed, neither of them got to choose the shared (adult) account name, so I am making them share an account that is a portmanteau of their names.
To add an additional dose of pure exoticism I would recommend spelling it Phlillilps.

This. When I was a kid I spent
Anyway, user name: well, Jonny is my first name, and Shiloh is my "favourite" American Civil War battle - one I share a birthday with as well, coincidentally. Avatar is my current ship, "Oriel's Lyre".
Sure you are. But why?
My username is a word I invented and so, usually available as an unused username on whatever website, game or whatever that I need to create a username for.
The origin of the username is the old Jetsons cartoon. Cosmo Spacely had sprockets, Mr. Cogswell his cogs but all of those little rings that were seen around everything, Elroy's boots, Judy's hair, the cars, the buildings, etc. did not have a name and so:
Jetson-Rings.

In England as well except the spelling is Sicko :0mine is boring, the same name I use for everything, the last four letters of my surname backwards
I'm not really a duck, and my name's not Gideon.
It comes from a comics I grew up with, called (drum rolls) Gédéon le canard. I lived in Africa and we had not much comics at that time. I kept reading Gideon's adventure as well as "Leuk le lièvre", which is incidentally another of my nicks.
Gideon was born with a fairly long neck, but was no swan. This made him the subject of much jokes and he decided to leave and travel around. He grows up as a character, becoming wiser and more tolerant and progressive everytime he meets other people. The same goes for Leuk. Both characters start as complete douches, and end up being strong, lovable, admirable personalities because they care for their friends and are open minded. I like to believe both comics shaped my mind as a kid. I hope so anyway.
This is Gideon. It should have been my avatar, but Daffy's was more fitting, I thought.
And two covers

I chose mine so it could be an easy target, still get bites. Oh how I laugh.
"A Møøse once bit my sister..."
Hooray for everything. \o/
