- longname - 05-19-2003

My story is as follows:

First, my real name is Adam Andrusyszyn (pronounced and-roo-siz-in). One day I showed up at my buddy's house to play soccer and he told me that my name was too long to say all the time so he started calling me Adam Longname. Up to that point I never had a nickname and I liked this one so I stuck with it.

I use "longname" as my username for dozens of things on the web. Sometimes I have to add a number to the end of it if someone else has the same username. I've used longname20 and longname2 as well. The 20 stands for my jersey number in highschool and the 2 is just 20 without the zero (no special reason for 2).

Great topic! :thumb:
