I self gifted my name. It used to be holocaust (as in nuclear holocaust) but it got shortened to holo. The z0r is a mainstay of an old IRC channel that I used to be a part of, and once you'd been around long enough, you got your "z0r" and were part of that gaming clan.

The picture made me think something totally different. Haha thanks for sharing

I always thought that you are a freak of science and experiments, as a result of your footer where the other social media logos is being destroyed by a green chemical. So i thought that's how you got your username..

I think from any one of your favorite cartoon character your name came from or maybe some one given you the name,may be your friend or relative.But that's a nice name.

haha, what a cute story!

I do tend to say it like a California stoner in my brain; 'Acid, yo!' lolz

I love your name.  That's 
funny how it popped into your friends head.  Must have been meant to be.:)
Joy

Is there any connection with acid?May be you are a science person.Your name can be came from there.Wherever it comes from i like it.@upvoted

I figured it was just because you crave LSD and like to end your sentences with yo. I was pretty close though.

Hahahaha wow ...now that's more like it. Thanks to this challenge for giving me the opportunity of knowing where your name acidyo came from coz it really sounded quite awkward the first day I saw your name on steemit...lolzz

As for your parents thinking you were into drugs, that's funny...does acidyo sound like a drug lord name? Hehehe

Thanks taking the time out to honour my nomination...I really do appreciate.

Your friend gave you this name and that's a nice one.

Lysergic acidyo :) your username sounds, looks and tastes very magical...

No, I'm a gamer nerd! Ha, I'm much worse gaming nerd than you!
Not even near! Ha!

Amazing ....
A good post @acidyo..

Before reading the post, I think you grew up with pokemon red and blue and used the mew, the attack acid and the greeting "Yo" to create your username :D

Edit: Damn far from it :/

I never thought that you got your nickname that randomly :)) it seem to get pretty fit after all with that logo you have created and all the rest :D

When I joined steemit and came across your username for the first time, I was like.., "what? Acid!" Don't come across this one else you'll get burnt, hahaha. My nickname is Jmilly. My name is Joshua Etim, but my high school classmtes used to call me Joshua Millipede instead, being that Millipede is the English version of Etim. So I brought Joshua and Millipede together and had Jmilly.
I now understand better how @acidyo came about

My eyes hurt! ouch!!!!!!

cool story .. getting a nickname is fun in the beginning but then you don't want to really lose the nickname because it became part of you or your past at least

Is that a normal thing in Finland to have a nickname for each person instead of their real names? Interesting 😂

This is wonderful

Most nicknames I know come from their name like mine mittymartz from martins 

This is really cool @acidyo

I do a similar thing with my World of Warcraft character names! Except i use variations of Korange instead, It started as Orange but got eventually changed with a K at the beggining lol. I use Korange, Korangie, Korangii, Korangor and things like that.

I've heard the thing about Finnish people using a lot of nicknames, is there a reason for it? like a lot of people having the same name? People do the nickname thing in my country too but mostly when there are multiple people with the same name in a classroom or workspace.

Thanks for the upvote.  A tear came to my eye... :) @acidyo

But what is your real name????

*waits to write it down to begin stalking*

Lol. I been doing research into tryptamines, haven't tried any yet. I found out a flower that grows around me has LSA.

I thought u were gonna ask us to drop some acid, yo.

did you get the name of chemistry, education?in the school?

Interesting history of your name, and now you use it normally, although the picture that shows gives a sensation of being acid

Wow , nice story@acidyo , just asking out of curiosity , do u play supercell's clash of clans?

I think the name originate from Chemistry!!

Before I read the publication I'd think something like this... I'm acid. LOL
A few days ago I did this challenge and I was about to nominate it because I was really interested in that name, I didn't do it out of pity... now I'm going back to the publication to read the real story.

That's so interesting! How funny how a name can stick from such an innocent origin. I actually didn't even know you were Finnish.

I thought Acid as in batteries and Yo as in a pirate. I thought you were an electrogeek but alas I am not even close.. Your streams are dope. Love.
