My username is kind of old(like 2 years).
I created it when I was going to play the Battlefield 1942 demo, and wanted a new and cooler name than my previous "Maffa".
It ended up with Gnome-father with the hyphen mark being a typo.
As the Norwegian word "Nisse" don't really have any English definition, I chosed gnome as it was the best example of nisse.
I don't really know why I choosed this name, but I think it's because Gnomefather in Norwegian sounds kind of funny.
My new nickname is P1nk1eP1e.
I won't tell you why but I can say that It's about ponies.
Where did your username come from?

Gib was my Dad's nickname and also mine. Our friends growing up just shortended our last name from Giblin to 'Gib'. Always seemed a friendly moniker so I've used it since I started gaming in 42 when it first came out.

Mine's the combination of the words "Rhys" (Just a name I liked) and "Kin" (aka 'family') while dropping the 's'. Pronounced Rye-kin.

My nick was given to me by my squadron mates when I was in the Navy. I was a SAR crewman who was lucky enough to get to fly in the F14, F18 and S3. The guys always said I was on Top of the world when I would come back from a flight. So Top just stuck.
The 321us was added for an old gmail account I had.
Once I could get it back to Top I did. So there is the reason you see Top321us on here but just [JiF]Top when I am in a game.

As for my name, it is my last name and the rank I had when I used to reenact, however school and a job hasn't allowed for that hobby to resurface for some time now.
