Nick names

I have often wondered how people who frequent this forum choose their nick names, when I first visited this forum I was seeking information about a problem I had with a truck but to get info I had to join the forum, how did I choose my nick name.

I was at loss as what to put but I remembered back in the 70s Yale developed a new reach truck the NER035/45 so I decided on on Nero,
I think the letters stud for narrow aisle electric rider but I can't be certain. Edward T seems to be the only person who uses his own names and always gives good technical advice, but more than that he always made you think about your responsibilities to the forum and yourself. Then there's Swoop how many times have I been swooped just when I've composed a good reply to someone's query I go back to the post only to find swoop has got his reply in first.
Anyway let me know how some of you choose your Nick names.

Regards Nero
