How did you pick your username?

[Rarhnor]

Simply tried to create an original nickname that no one but me would think of...But it somehow came off as a sarcastic warcry. Nevertheless i use it for everything

 

[Bluedemon322]

I was beginning my extremely limited PC gaming career with Runescape, and so I entered in the first thing I thought of. It was taken. Then i looked at the example the put up there, Red Rooster, so I then tried RedAngel. That was taken. Then I tried the exact opposite name, and it worked. I'v been using it ever since...Then I added 322 because 3 is a very unlucky number, which I then counteracted with 2, which is my lucky number.

 

[Berserker119]

I picked mine because I've always been interested in mythology, especially Norse, and the numbers are a joke between me and one of my friends.

 

[replingham153]

Its the same as my Xbox Gamertag, and I used it because it was the same as my street name. As in 153 Replingham Road. I don't live there anymore.

 

[MadBlueWinnie]

When i was 11 or 12 i was making an MSN account that wouldnt include my name. After careful pre-teen planning and thinking, i thought that a machine gun would be cool. A rapid-fire gun as so to speak.

But it was taken and the number 21 was suggested at the end.
So i took it and its stuck ever since.

 

[Revolutionary]

inspired by the 1917 events in Russia.

 

[Larmo]

My friend had a really weird dream where this kid Larmo followed her around all over the place, i thought it was neat and the rest was history.

 

[Taco of flames]

All I remember is this: In 6th grade, something involving imaginary flaming tacos happened. I started playing WoW a few months later, and took up the name Flamingtaco. I got a lot of "lol dude nice name" comments, so it just stuck, and I used it for my other online interests. When I came here, I decided to change things up a bit.

Hence, Taco of Flames.

 

[zHellas]

I got mine from when I was considering a username for a Newgrounds flash-based(but you could actually talk to live people) chatroom and wanted something cool.

 

[Natdaprat]

Back when I was a kid, people always called me a prat. And one day, one of the idiot children figured out Nathan short can be nat, and nat rhymes with prat. So they called me nat the prat, usually as I punched them in the face for such a stupid name.

Then when I went online for the first time, and needed an alias, I went with the nickname, but nattheprat reads wrong, so I replaced the with da (sad, I know), and Natdaprat was born. Hate that guy, but it's your identity, and changing would just be weird.

 

[zehydra]

Zehydra comes from Zehidra which was my username for "Graal" lol, if any one remembers that waste of bandwidth. I changed the "i" to a "y" because I wanted to eliminate any confusion about its pronunciation.

 

[Akalistos]

I'm curious how people here chose their username. Unlike an avatar, a username can't be changed on a whim, and personally it's the primary way I recognize posters.

I'm a old D&D player and love coming up with stories. So when my friend back then asked me to help him play World of Warcraft, we use basically shitty name. Then, we switch server to do more PVP actions and he task me to come up with character name. Alright! I came with Akalistos. I basically played with Hephaestus (Héphaistos, in french) and started playing with letters. I ended up with that for me. I use the same trick with Roman gods and ended up with Dimitryus for him. He ended up misspelling it. When i checked my stat for the first time on the Armory, I found that I was the only Akalistos in existence and decided to keep it as a moniker. I'm not a real MMORPG freak so if you look up my character, you'll be disappointed.

 

[Seef]

The "Seef" part came to me while playing SSBB, if I remember correctly. I thought of it as a simply yet unique internet handle.

 

[Akalistos]

well at Download festival 2006 i bought a pink bandanna as a joke, but ended up wearing it for the entire weekend, so some people started calling me the Pink Pirate... since then its just kinda stuck and here we are.

Can we see said bandanna? Please?

 

[Ultress]

I like FF6 and I wanted to show that, plus Ultro's is one of my favorite comic relief villains.

This (particularly the bit starting about halfway through): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjbtZ4NgtdA

Try writing it like like this.

["youtube"=(you insert everything after the = sign]

Be sure to remove the " around youtube And you'll get this

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Was my name in Black Hawk Down and other online games for at least 5 years (mostly use Caliban XVII now). Was going to use Assassin Zero, but then I remembered Quake III Arena and went with that spelling.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Kira, because I love Death Note.
Must Die, just a phrase I added at the end, but I mostly just got the idea from Devil May Cry.
And I added brackets around it because, apparently, I can, and I makes it look like a warning.

Please note that I do not wish death upon anyone named Kira.
