Same here. And no, it´s really not so utterly common over here to be named like this.

In many cases I don´t use nicknames. I do on IMCDb, because there already was an Ingo. But what the hell means "Animatronixx"???

I know, almost nobody can spell my user name from memory, but it´s in fact quite simple, if you know the story behind.

My favourite band is the German band Kraftwerk, largely known by their international hits "Autobahn", "Radioactivity" or "The Model". Well, this band has the habit not always to perform by themselves - and so they sometimes put four roboters on the stage instead, imitating the real band members.

I simply love that style and thus my nickname is dedicated to these roboters, or - like they are technically called - animatronics.

The "x" instead of "cs" is just a style-thing and when I found out that many people already had the same idea, I decided to add another "x" to the end. Up to now it seems like I am the only internet user with that double-x-version.

Alright?

Oh, by the way: In several message boards people started to call me just "Tron" instead of writing the full nickname - and that´s OK for me.
