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. :P

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. :P
