So uhh it's like my name but actually except my name is Michał because it's stupid and Polish and it's pronounced "Mehow" so I just kinda started spelling it that way but also it's super neat because when I'm introducing myself to people I get to be like "I'm Mehow, it's like the sound a cat makes but with a H in it" and they're all like "I thought your name was Jason" and then I have to run away because for like a year I told people my name was Jason because it's easier to explain. | |||

On a school trip back when I was young, sitting in an italian hotel, talking to the chef about football, he suddenly asked my name, and he couldn't pronounce my surname, Maxwell, so he decided to italianiase my name, by calling me Roberto Merchello, I thought the name was cool, and started to use it in championship manager, and after registering with the most shittest nick ever, "partyb" I changed it to the 8 char nick, merchelo. | On a school trip back when I was young, sitting in an italian hotel, talking to the chef about football, he suddenly asked my name, and he couldn't pronounce my surname, Maxwell, so he decided to italianiase my name, by calling me Roberto Merchello, I thought the name was cool, and started to use it in championship manager, and after registering with the most shittest nick ever, "partyb" I changed it to the 8 char nick, merchelo. | ||

After my original nickname in my first year, given to me by [[User:Pluto|Pluto]] among others, was deemed too offensive(it originating from the alleged homosexuality of my father), I walked into the labs late one unfortunate morning and [[User:jstkamil|jstkamil]] called out "Hey what's up Nibbles" for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and this name completely stuck and has haunted me across even completely unrelated friend groups in DCU. One day I will have my vengeance on [[User:jstKamil|jstKamil]] for cursing me to be called nibbles from now until death. | |||
