How did you come up with your username?

[Folio]

Everyone was nagging about that I should take care of my portfolio.

Well when I played WoW I wanted to be called: Lord Folio. But that was SO cheezy.

So now I'm the Italian word for 'paper'. (I thought it was French, though.)
I guess it's why I'm so popular with Italians now.

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

A friend of mine lets my girlfriend call him "Scruffy Puppy," so I decided to base my username off of that as a tribute. At the time, the Wolverine movie was the buzz, and I was joking that Wolverine's real powers were his fabulous sideburns. So I combined the two and got a horrific abomination against nature, and named myself after it.

 

[dududf]

I closed my eyes and hit some keys on the keyboard.

You're all jealous of my awesome name creating method

 

[Twad]

.. about 12 years ago i was randomly fumbling with my keyboard, and that was the result.

 

[Kelthurin]

Needed a good name for a mage in WoW. Had a look at Kel'Thuzad. And thus; result.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

I really am intrigued by snipers and the tactics they use, and the Barrett M98 Bravo is one of my favorite rifles (and one of the rifles I want the most). So Sniper+1337+M98=My username.

 

[Phlakes]

That's a funny story. A while ago my brother and I were making a Metroid fangame and we thought of Phazon Flakes, a cereal with 100% of your daily corruption. I shortened it to Phlakes and used it.

 

[Vault101]

I think it pretty much speaks for itself

 

[sb666]

My brother and I made usernames like this a year or so back so I decided to go with it.

 

[Communist partisan]

I'm a Commie I yust added partisan beacose I really like Tito's partisans.

 

[projectazure]

Well... My name is SEXY AND RUSSEL. But No. Steam Account

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

I got my name from Robert Johnson

 

[Tyrannowalefish_Rex]

I'm really bad at coming up with names, it's either a generic attempt at a fantasy name, or something from somewhere else. This is an unspectacular name for a creature created by novelist (cartoonist etc.) Walter Moers who has hundreds of such names in each novel.
It's not how original and over-the-top it is that makes it funny in the original context, but with how much seriousness and occasionally "scientific" dryness everything relating to them is told, and how perfectly the rhythm of "Tyrannosaus Rex" is retained in this example and combined with a backward (=cultured) nomenclature of a whale as whalefish. And I actually freely translated it myself but the difference between "Walfisch" and "whalefish" didn't seem like a big deal.

Well, I really take everything that comes to hand, you know.

 

[sb666]

It's a version of my gamertag that won't cause insults or flamewars (the GT is HaloGuru13, but I might change it to HG131)

 

[Blemontea]

Its my sacred nickname bestowed upon me and my almighty drink, even though my tea has no lemon.

 

[skot205]

skot - I have no idea
205 - 20. may

 

[Lopsided Weener]

My username bears no relation to me.

 

[tirone231]

My user name "Tirone" came about before I realized that Tyrone is a stereotypical name for a black man. It was a combination of two original characters' names: Tyro, and Prian. A cookie for anyone who can figure out the significance to the number 231

Something to do with the 2 characters.

Let me give some hints...the number comes from a video game, and instead of seeing two hundred and thirty one, look at it as two, three, and one

 

[SixWingedAsura]

My user name is the title of a character from an original novel I'm working on.

 

[GrimTuesday]

It's one of the villeins in Garth Nix's series The Keys to Th Kingdom. I thought it sounded pretty cool so I used it for all my forum names.
