What does your username mean?

What does your username truly mean?

Is it your name? Your favourite Shenmue character? or something completely out of context in reality? May it have no meaning at all?

My username at the Dojo is clearly named as "Kobe" the name is derived from the name of the city of Kobe in Japan, noted for its quality Kobe beef. The name is also well- known from the basketball player Kobe Bryant (1978-), whose name was inspired by the culinary dish. In addition, Kobe is a variant of "Jacob" (Dutch, English, German, and Scandinavian) in the English and Japanese languages. Finally Kobe is a fairly popular baby name for boys. The name's popularity jumped from the 1990s up to the 2000s.

Truck is my nickname from 11 years old and on (though few call me that anymore) and my old gamertag on MSN Gaming Zone (AOEII ftw!) was Truck_1_0_1_. Thought it had a nice ring to it, so I've used it for every messageboard and game-related thing since.

I didn't name myself after the film, when I first joined I was playing FF7 and one of the sub bosses used an attack with this name. I looked up what it actually meant and it was actually quite cool so used it as a name.
