You don't create a nick name like "Spin Out"..... You Earn It!
My nick name is "Spin Out" and I drive # 13. Every time I autocross I feel like I'm giving Bad Luck the finger. Actually I picked Spin out because I felt that if I was not pushing hard enough to risk spinning, I was not pushing hard enough.
I got the # 13 because my Dad gave me a bag of 12 shirts he got for a dollar at a garage sale. He thought I could use them for working in the garage. One was brand new baseball shirt (Cardinals) with the #13 on it. I just assumed the team made up a bunch of shirts, and no one would take 13.
There's a good question, how did you pick your number?

Depending on where I race the numbers would be 55, 61 or 812. 55 and 61 were my numbers while playing football and 812 is just funny.
The folks in the church choir bowling league (What Would Jesus Roll?) gave me mine.
Mi like to pretend mi be Jamaican! RAAASSS!
Used to be a camp counselor where the other counselors gave you a nickname, and I was always talking cars, so a particularly attractive british girl named me "Auto" and my real name is Alex, and I just mashed the two together and came up with this one.

I run #17 as an homage to David Pearson's early cars in NASCAR (back when real men drove them). When I was young, he was my driving hero. When he later drove for Wood Brothers, he ran #22, which is my 2nd choice, plus I was born on 12/17 at 7:21, weighing 7 lbs. 7ozs., so 127 has always been my "lucky numbers".
I have had alot of cars and never loved any of them until now. So zoom and mx-5 shortened....

Hopefully her nickname was Randy.
I got a red one, that is all.
I'm named after my grandmother, and the most common reaction I get when people hear my name is "I had a grandmother/aunt/other old lady with that name... God, she was old."
I try to take that as an indication that one day (perhaps fairly soon) I will also be an old lady. Beats being dead, and I think old ladies can really berkeley with people, so I'm looking forward to it.

When I was about 12 and started sneaking onto the interwebs with my old IBM laptop, which my parents did not want me on as it was commonly believed to be a dense mass of porn and pedophiles with just a thin outer coating of non-porn sites inhabited by non-pedos that could be pierced by looking at it too hard, I decided I needed a username, to use with stuff. It would be cool to have the same one on everything. I was an even bigger gaming freak back then, so boy who plays games...stick initials on the end for uniqueness...all done! And I use the same username everywhere today.
Back before teh 1ntr43b, yo, in the olden days of these things called "email lists," I used to sign emails "Hess," uh, because that's what my friends call me. Then I walked across a stage one day in a funny dress and funny hat and 'dis guy also in a funny dress and hat gave me a cardboard tube with a rolled up piece of paper. After that, I started signing my email list postings "Dr.Hess." When teh 1ntr43b, yo, forums came along, I just followed on with that.
Wow, makes mine kinda boring now that I read some of these. My first name begins with a W, my middle name begans with an L and my last name is Kelley. And I am the 3rd with those intitials. My family doesn't do the jr thing but does use initials. My dad was WLKelley and his dad was WLKelley so I'm wlkelley3. And I have a son with the same initials. And I use it on most forums I'm on.
As for my car number, I use 47 because that's how old I was when I started autocrossing and as a coincedence I work on CH-47 helicopters. It's also a 2-digit number that can work with co-drivers and 74 was the year I got my drivers license. Well now that I read this, it does sound kinda eerie. 
It's the name that Virginia Tech gave me as an email address back in the days that I attended said domain of higher education. Still using it on every board that I am on. Haven't found a problem yet (though I did have a problem with Gmail...)

Pure berkeleyery!
Well, the first name's Timo but in most English speaking countries the 'o' has a habit of falling off (was probably made by Fiat). And 'boxhead', well, I'm German and it's a slightly derogatory name for Germans which a couple of friends have turned into a term of endearment. Or so I am led to believe.
