[Rabz]

Members prior to 2007 used to know me as "Sydney", my first user nick here in BC.
I used to live in Sydney back in those days and hence the reference.

Then when I moved back in Bangladesh in Sept 2007, thought "Sydney" was no longer valid and it might also be misleading. But while changing nick, I wanted to keep Sydney alive within myself, a token of my appreciation of those wondering 6 years that defined who I am today. Also that was the time when I found BC which became a home away from home and integral part of my life.

Hence Rabz, short form of my name Rabiul.
A friend started to call me Rabz after a few many trial and error twisted version of my name including Raibul, Rabul, Rabil, Raul(!!) and even Red Bull by my Aussie friends and colleagues who found it hard to pronounce Rabiul.

Short and easy, Rabz really caught on and everyone I knew, both Bangladeshi and Aussies alike, were calling me Rabz. Friends, flat mate, colleagues at work, everyone. So much so, many of them dont even know that my real name was Rabiul and not Rabz.

Rabz became my de-facto name and hence the BC nick.
