      What kind of niks are there?

START
 
It all started with joining our ranks
My brother decided to join in. Solve
then I decided, and even came up with what it would be
bother. Yes, here’s a name to pick for yourself,
that's the problem. He, of course, tried
Val, but only due to inexperience and ignorance
Englishman made such words up...
With all our efforts we came up with the idea for him
nickname, but then Depsy appeared...
In short, I decided to write a
take a look at what nicknames there are, and in order
have specific arguments and facts, I
wrote a questionnaire.

STATISTICS

Damn, despite all my predictions, I
I received as many as 38 pieces, and they responded
both pillars of the scene and more or less mo-
lousy spektrumists.
And during the analysis of all submitted questionnaires
I found the following:
 First: Very often nicknames are taken as
derivatives from first name/surname. Percentage
these constitute 34.2% of the total
personality. Moreover, this is no longer Vasya Lap-
Teva, and not even V.L.SOFT's. Now it's already
more sophisticated names with prefixes
or without, both “family” and 
"nominal" and combinations. And just not-
many use initials.
 Even more often (38.2%) nicknames are taken from names
names, namesbook and film characters, or
on behalf of various famous people. Someone
will even use words from the names of companies
computer games.
 The scientific method is widely used 
poking at dictionaries (13.2%), and the dictionary
English is not necessarily taken.
 It is very convenient for coders to take nicknames
closer to the specialty, for example from
commands Or from a favorite activity, like
speed optimization of procedures. Taco-
7.9% are recruited.
The same number of respondents, especially 
without further ado, he collects nicknames from 
own distinctive features.
 Unfortunately, 10.5% were unable to remember
thread about what their choice of nickname is connected with. It's a pity.
 At the same time, of course, everyone is trying their best
get a more original nickname so that later
There were no doubles or triplets. Like me
I noticed that there is a tendency among some -
shorten your nickname (for artists), which,
apparently connected with the desire to cram everything
nickname three pixels; and for others - increased
chit (mostly they are musicians)
you and the journalists).
