My nickname is Abee, but the Gabi part isnt. My niece were saying words that rhymed, and when she heard my name, she went Gabi-Abee. Gabi (Tagalog) meaning yam in english.
So I was named GabiAbee since then!

Well, its a long story but ill give the short version. My nickname is chengkie. But alot of my friends know that name and i dont want to, when they coincidentally see this account, immediately know its me. (trying to be mysterious) so i wanted to twist my nickname a bit but still say "hey
itz chengkie". So from there
chitz came into picture and 38 is a code of my significant others name. so thats it!
P.S. Kewl topic!

Isn't Kogoro's nickname: "Nemuri no Meitantei"? Could be completely wrong, and although my Japanese language skills are fairly low, 'Yume' means 'Dream' right?
And 'Nemuri' is 'Sleep' (Please correct me if I'm wrong though)
DarkAap= fairly simple, 'Aap' means 'Monkey' in English (It's Dutch) and since has been my nickname since I was still in pre-school, it kinda stuck... (No reason why I had the nickname 'Aap', I was always quiet...
)

X64_02
The x used to be a j which is the first letter of my name. The x is less personal, and I felt it more appropriate due to the anonymity of the medium. The 64 is because I started using the name this derivates from between the release of the two 64 bit consoles, Jaguar and Nintendo 64. The 02 is the year I graduated from High School.

Mine came from the title of the manga and anime series Black Cat and I decided to make the two words one.

Well, i started to write a story when i was a child. And the main characters name is "Serenada". That's what i took for my username in a comicforum. Then, every one shortened it to "Seri". But i didn't want to take Seri in a forum with Japanese speaking guys, cause "watashi ha seri desu" means for a girl "i have my period". So i decided to make it "Sere".

I think they also use it as famous (just maybe) plus it's "nemuri no kogoro" right? That's why it's "Sleeping Kogoro"

Nice topic yume XD
Solera came from when I was looking for a name for my BO OC. I looked through one of my father's brandy bottles and saw Solera written on it. Well... that's where my name came from.
