How did you come up with your username?

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

I had no originality and put up my job title. the "(shhh)" is a new cutting edge security device to avoid my security being compromised.

Seriously though, i decided that "seminoob" and a picture of raziel from the soul reaver games was boring and so i took on a fantastical new alias and gave my account a life of it's own.

However the above may be total bullshit and i may just saying that to throw the incorruptable members of the world's police force off my trail.(don't tell anyone if you value the safety of you and your family)

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Mine was a random name from Xbox Live signup and then I added doughnut because I like doughnuts.

My new Xbox Live is BiasedSquash, another random.

 

[phazonbiologist]

Mine's a double reference. Phazon is the substance fueling the Metroid Prime trilogy. Biologist is a reference to John Egbert, a character in the webcomic Homestuck, who uses the name ectoBiologist.

 

[Smorlock]

I was terrifying a friend way back in high school on MSN, but I was on an account I had made solely to harass him. I called myself Smorlock, a wizard who was going to come to his house, and drown him in chocolate.

Yeah.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

.>

.....You tell me.

(HINT: It's a reference to something.)

 

[quantum mechanic]

I like the idea of a little person in overalls with a wrench making sure the universe keeps working.

 

[Maart3n]

My name with a replacement 3 instead for an e, yes I know creativity.
Recently started using Valkyri3, I actually tried all the IG vehicle names but settled with this one. And it includes the 3 I always tend to use.....

 

[Ddgafd]

Randomly typed it when I was trying to come up with a good name to this old web browser MMO. I've been using it ever since.

 

[Mullahgrrl]

I figured that I would regret just about any name so I just tried to make something as stupid looking as possible and get it over with.

 

[ultimateownage]

Because I spent 7 years trying to think of a good name, so I gave up and just called myself OWNAGE!!! I used Ultimateownage on any website where OWNAGE was taken. I hate it, I've always hated it. If I could think of a different name I'd change in a heart beat. Except for the fact that it says this next to the change username option:

You cannot change your username!

You can still use this form to make changes to capitalization, but any other change will not be approved.

So apparently the escapist decided to take my one username change away.

 

[escapistrules]

i really liked the escapist and thought, "hmm, that could work"

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

I was chatting with a friend and spelled roflmao while eating a samwich and got the bright idea of ROFL-MAYO!

 

[Scout Tactical]

All my other common usernames were taken. This one actually set a trend by being a username I use other places when all other names are taken.

The Scout Tactical is the sniper rifle from Rainbox Six Vegas (both of them). I liked the name.

 

[Pist0l 07]

Halo 1, i loved using the pistol an 7 was my lucky number back then. Also I used a zero for the o because I like it said pistol (oh-7) like they do in star wars republic commando.

 

[asterismW]

Contrary to popular belief, a constellation is an area of the sky, just like states or countries are areas of the land. An asterism is the shape some stars make in a constellation. Thus, the Big Dipper is an asterism of the constellation Ursa Major in the northern hemisphere. I was named after a constellation, whose asterism looks like a W. Brownie points to those who can name the constellation!

 

[Sethzard]

I found it hard to find unused usernames on a lot of websites, and so I just use this for most places.

 

[Durgiun]

I can say with complete honesty that I'm the only person who doesn't have even an iota of a foggiest clue as to how I came up with my username.

 

[ethaninja]

My first name and I'm a ninja....

 

[Ickorus]

Mine is based on three things:

The greek myth of Icarus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus].

The song 'Icarus' by Mar [http://www.myspace.com/silenticeland].

The minor questgiver Shadowstalker Ickoris [http://www.wowwiki.com/Shadowstalker_Ickoris] in WoW.

The reason I chose the name is because I have always been obsessed with flight and wings.

 

[Ossian]

Needed a new username for Age of empires that wasn't my previous one (I hated it) so I randomly picked a new one from the dictionary, I like names with Os and Ss so I naturally liked it.

Its actually quite common a name, so I rotated it out with Ossius or Ossuis not too long ago, which is actually a name I made up.
