Hmmm well a friend of mine sugested Imhotep as a nick for CS, then out of nowhere I just added Evil.

That sounds about right Yannis... except the spelling, it's Sikorski, but close enough.

I thought it was the same with the famous helicopter brand:

...but i was wrong.

Well, the boring story behind my GCZ name is this: Mike is a nickname of mine (duh) and the J comes from my last name (which, taken apart, would translate to "of the house by the river" or something like that).

Lol. Maybe you can sue them for using your surname and mispronouncing it also.

The nickname I selected was just a randomly selected identification. The only connection it has to reality is that in 1960 my father bought a car called Auto Union 1000S. I was told at the time that the real name of the car was Donau (as in the river Danube). I have never since been able to find out whether that was a real brand name or not, but that's what we always called it. The prior brand name for the same car had been DKW, and of course a few years later they selected the Audi name again.

Giannis is my name in Greek, which is the same as Yannis (writen in a different way) and means John in English

Γιάννης <-- This is how my name is written in Greek
