My nickname is nothing special. It's just short for Patrick. My friends call me Patje ever since I was 4 years old. It's less official.

No real mystery for me. JK being my initials and the 2silly because I have tried to never take life too seriously. Oddly enough, the only nickname that I got growing up I do not use. It was from the Piers Anthony "Myth" book series. I was named after the the adolescent dragon Gleep.
So Slowmo, Cocles, and Jeric. I see you have all chimed in to this forum but have all failed to answer the basic question. How did you 3 get your nick-names?

JK2, you're being silly.. I already told that both SlowMo and Cocles were Roman generals.. Or do you mean that you don't believe that?
Ok, well, then another story : SlowMo has been my nickname ever since I went to BBS's with a 2400 baud modem, while everybody else already had 14.4.. Is that better?

It's very hard to explain because the english (or american) language is so much different in pronounciation than in dutch. But I'm gonna try it anyway.
The letter P is pronounced the same in dutch as in english. The A is pronounced the same as when you say my name (Patrick), so no changes there either.
The difficulty is the the J. In English it is pronounced as "djee". In dutch you take away the "d".
And the E at the end is pronounced as "uh", like in DUH!!. So Patje rhymes with duh.
It's that simple hehe. 
(But so hard to explain).

Hello there,
I got mine from my obsession with sportsman-like behaviour on the badminton court.
I ran an experiment to see what the effect was of playing badminton games whilst different styles of music were playing in the background.
Since then I have had the nick - Maestro.

I was flipping thru a Japanese cinema book, and came accross a movie called 'Taxihunter'. It was sort of their version of 'Falling Down', with M. Douglas. Liked it, took it as my name. |

My nick comes from long time ago when I was registering in Hotmail, I had two choices, both of them names of animals in my native dialect, as the fisrt one (chotillo) was taken, I got the second choice (which, obviously, was not taken) |

Wolf - I wear a wolfskin suit. In Old Europe, the
bad boy of the clan had to wear one. He was
not allowed to feed in the communal feast.
I'm a rebel, a loner.

Should I tell you that the first time I saw your name I misread it to FrozenHAM. The avatar did nothing to disabuse me of the idea
I've got it right now but it took me some time
