Why the Nickname?

Why the Nickname?

Some are plain and simple, their real name. Others are unique, their experssion/personality. And a few are just blah!

Why did you choose the nickname you have choosen? Mine is just "upside down", literally.

When I first started college for computer graphics and tech, we were soon given the task of creating a mock up buiseness. We needed a logo, a name, to make buiseness cards, stationary, personalized envelopes, a website the whole nine yards. My companies name ended up being 5 horiz0ns, which I know use. I quickly ended up using the name horiz0n for everything I do online, and people quickly started just calling me hor. The logo I made, although refined a few times is also my official one now like my company name, and the same one you see stamped onto all my work.

#28, Jafo, we have a saying in holland that is: "Drank maakt meer kapot dan je lief is".
Translated into english it would be something like: "Alcohol destroys more than you like" J/K

well, i gotta say.. upside down has gotta be one of the most unique names i've seen. none of those god damn annoying stupid characters or 'hacker talk'.. (h3ll0). kudos to you!

why caddy? 'disconnected' was already taken!!! that's from a face to face song that accurately describes my disposition.
i'm not ready to take over the design market by myself, so for now i'm just a designer lending a hand.

It really is my name!!!! Actually, my maiden name is Stein... hence the nick. Went and added the 2 at the end, because my older brother was using ImStein for himself!!!

i chose my name just for the [heck] of it. read it backwards
Reply #37 Top
reason i chose it was cuz it sounded like a real name if you read it normally. but backwards, hey, it s a whole new personality.
