Username Origins, where did yours come from

[Nilsemann]

My name is Nils, nilsemann is a common nickname for someone named Nils.
I wish I had a cooler one, but my manager came up with it, used it on contracts and posters, and before I knew it, I was stuck with it

a nilsemann is usually a harmless nice guy, so it suits me fine

Cheers

This is an interesting post. I have always wondered particularly about "Dogshirt".

My father and family immigrated to USA from England after the 2nd World War as they did not want to participate in any more "wars to end all wars" in the UK anymore. My mother is from Alabama with roots in Germany. Thus, "englishmix". I think "Halfbreed" was already taken...

[mcnberry]

Mc from McEwan, n short for and, berry is my nickname. Pretty simple and not very imaginative.

[Irish Stepper]

I did Irish step dancing as an adult for 5 years. I had to give it up 3 years ago, because my busy life got in the way. I'm thinking of picking it up again, but I haven't decided yet. Classes are so dang expensive, and the money just isn't there right now...
