How did you pick your username?

[martin's a madman]

My name is Martin, I am a madman.

 

[Nickthequick]

Because that's what everyone always called me and it stuck.

 

[Voration]

I've been using the name Voration for years. I decided to play around with the word 'voracious' since I tend to have a voracious appetite for anything that catches my interest and I consume as much information on the subjest as I can in a short a time as possible. I recently fund out that my name voration is actually a real word. It means 'devourer' in French.... Now I love my chosen name even more!

 

[trickyfingers]

Way way back in middleschool, somebody once yelled at a lan, "Either that guys hacking or hes got some fucking tricky fingers."

 

[joshthor]

i played bass 5 in my high school marching band, and mallets are kind of like hammers. hence thor (side note: that name has stuck with me for 5 years so far... ive been out of high school for 2) my real name is josh. hence, joshthor.

 

[Gardenia]

It's the name of my favourite Kyuss song.

Spoiler: Included for your listening pleasure.

(awesome)​

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

An anagram of my real name, except replace the 0 with an o obviously.

It doesn't sound cool or anything it just was somehow catchy, way better than Naily Lem0nade at least.

 

[The Only]

i had a hard time thinking so it just became the only.

 

[Badong]

It's my nick name(never really found how I got it, though)

 

[UberNoodle]

I have no story. I just said it one day and liked the sound of it.

 

[Flack]

I always got the FlackMonkey announcement when I played UT so I either use that or just shorten it to Flack.

 

[thom_cat_]

Mine started at Fluffy the demented pancake, just because I was really bored one day.
And then it got shortened to Fluffles.
So yar, Flufflesthepancake it is.

 

[Catalyst6]

I'm a chem major, and I get stuff done.

Okay, it's a little more complex than that, but it's stupid if I tell the whole story.

 

[MasterSteef]

I took "Master Chief" and swapped out "chief" for "Steef" which is the species of the title character of Oddworld Stranger's Oddysey (an underated xbox game, check it out)

 

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

Axle Foley(Beverley Hills Cop) Frank Bullitt(Bullitt) and 19 for Steve Yzerman. While my PSN Spicy_Nikorasu comes from the website address for Spice and Wolf and the Japanese version of my name.

 

[Lizardon]

Mine's really geeky.
I loved Pokemon, but didn't want my username to just be a Pokemon name.
Lizardon is the Romanization of the Japanese name for Charizard.
I've never been bothered to come up with a different name so it's stuck for most of my online accounts.

 

[Romblen]

About 12 years ago I was trying to register on a website, but I couldn't think of a username that wasn't taken. So I started using names from star trek. After trying Picard and Data, I tried Romulan. Being six years old, I misspelled Romulan and got the name I have today.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I think mine might be the geekiest story...

I'm a history/facts buff, and I joined a livejournal RP where people were playing as personifications of different US states. I started out as just Colorado, then picked up Idaho. When a Montana player joined, he began derisively calling my Idaho "Little Miss Potatoes". So I shortened it just a bit, and it's been my username a few places since then.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Well, Zero was taken at the time I came to this site, so i went with Gunblade7303, then i realzied i was sick of using my Email for usernames, so i went with Brad Shepard.

 

[DarkenedWolfEye]

I once wrote a story as a project for school about a wolf who was possessed by a light-intolerant demon, and whenever the demon seized control of the wolf's body, the wolf's eyes would turn black and stop reflecting light. Hence, DarkenedWolfEye.
