How did get your nickname?

[Bundwah]

I'd thought I'd start this thread, just out of interest, as everyone asks how I got my nickname.
My nickname is Bundy (I know there is someone with that username, hence why I am Bundwah a derivative a mate gave me).
Everyone assumes it is because I drink Bundy, not true I am definately a beer drinker.
I got the nickname in year 7 because I complained about being called whitey. I ran into the guy that gave it to me about 2 years ago, he couldn't remember why. I vaguely remember in 1991, he said his cousin had the nickname Bundy, as well as the same first name as me, and that's why he pinned me with it.
Not sure if that's right, but anyway I've always like introducing myself as Bundy. You can imagine the comments you'd get.

I originally got it in year 7, because I was 1 of 7 Michaels in my class of 30 students!

[Duke]

Duke - the younger folk have said it's becuase of the PC game "Duke Nukem" - wrong! the mature, refined folk know it's because of the great man himself - John Wayne.

Other known alias' - "big fella", "jeffro", "whitie" and the usual array of detrimental swear words.

I don't care what I'm called, as long as it's said with respect.

[Sourbastard]

[Riksta]

Well, my first given name (in full) is "Riki".

Riksta kind of stuck quite a few years back, a lot of my mates call me Rik or Riksta. Hell, even my own mum calls me Riksta at times.
