I need a nickname. . .

Gypsy mentioned this once and I agree. I need a nickname. So, suggestions anyone. I'd prefer it wasn't initials like MF. I'm not particularly fond of that idea. All others are welcome. Shortenings, rearranging or letters or anything else that comes to you. So, I guess we're playing the name game.

How about Manga..its pretty simple..and yes MF is a bad idea

Well, I don't know. I think being called manga's a little odd. I sorta feel like manga's a comic book, not a name. I dunno. I'll consider it.

That's not far off from what I was thinking... "ManFan".

Oh, I like games.

*stares at Mangafanatic's username for a while.*

Gafana?

....

Faint? Fate? Cami? Fang? Anti Fang? Giant? Tag? Nag? Mac Anna? G-man? Fig? Gift? Fan Inc.? Tang? Fin? Taming? Gnat? MIG (those are pretty cool)? Aft? Fit?

....

*looks at Mangafanatic one more time.*

Oh, I know....

FAT MAN!! (Okay, I am joking there, put down the frying pan, please.)

How about... Maniac Fan?

Seriously, can you give us more material? Like maybe... a favorite manga title... something?

I vote either Fan, Inc. or Osaka.

Just be glad your name doesn't shorten to "Icky." Not that I don't like it, but...

Alright, nickname time!

Um ...

...

This is hard! Actually, I'm with Ronin. Usually I give peopel nicknames on the spur of the moment and I would have used 'Manga' for you. Actually, using it for short sounds kinda cute, I think. But Nia-chan's Manatic is also catchy. Good luck choosing, Mangafanatic. ;)

I sorta do like manatic. That or Mafi, which I thought up just as I was about to go to sleep. Anymore suggestions?

Manfan was the first thing that came to my mind, although I also like Osaka (but only because it is the final stage in Capcom vs. Snk 2 ;) ).

Um, any care to explain the osaka thing to me?

I don't know what they're refering to, either.

Hmm...how about Mifan? I like Mafi, though.

My vote goes for Osaka, just because it'd be a great inside joke all us old schooler's will remember years from now.

Osaka....I don't get it..I feel leftout on the inside joke here, please explain. Hehehe well I tried searching through the nickname index but I sure couldn't come up with anything worth noting. Of the ones people made before, I am kinda partial to Mafi. ^^! Uh yeah, how ya doing Mafi. Hehehe, I'm dumb.

I like the name, "Mani." You can either pronounce it "man - nee" or "mon - nee." Which is really a Norse name which could possibly be traced to "daughter of Thunder." But, that's a long shot. Anyway, that's my two cents, Mani. *hehe* (~-^)

The "Osaka" joke is from Azumanga Daioh, where one of the characters Ayumu get's nicknamed "Osaka" because that's the town where she's from. Yeah, I think Osaka would be a great nickname...

Yes, Osaka would be a great nickname...even though mangafanatic isn't from Osaka, or at least it's not very likely...still, it's PERFECT!

Hey, Osaka!!

I also vote for Osaka ^_^

Now, make sure you slap us in the chest and say "What the heck." (We'll need a Tomoe for this part. I nominate PotBelliedCow. :) )

Osaka? Sounds good to me. . .*slaps PotBelliedCow* "What the heck." H--how was that? Did I say it right? ;) Like Ashley said, it'll be a great inside joke one day.

Woohoo! You are now officially Osaka! Maybe we should start calling Cow Tomo...

*rubs head*

Ow...

Sure, give me the role of the loud annoying one :shady: heheh

*takes a name tag labeled "Osaka" and smacks it on Mangafanatic's forehead*

Yay Osaka!!

EDIT: Ah yes, and to commemorate this event, I post a picture of our dear Osaka. Mangafanatic, we entrust her nickname to you...hehe
:lol:
