I want to hear the story behind your usernames…

I’m sure some of you have silly names and some have deeply personal and interesting names. I want to hear them all. :)

    The first default (player controlled) team in Worms on PSX was called “1 UP”, with the 4 worms being Ginger, Smidge, Fluff, and Dodger. My sister used to kill smidge in the first round so often it became a bit of a running joke and I adopted it as a screen name. Unfortunately, so did others in the early Internet days, so I went 1337 Sp33k and tweaked it to sm1dger, which I’ve kept for what must be 20 years or so
