My username is part of my email adress. It looks silly in lowercase though. I wish I could change it. :(

It's quite simple. I'm fond of the German language, and I like the death's head as a insignia. I was mostly inspired by Sabaton's Ghost Division logo.

Yeah, and I don't believe it counts as you're "one change".

I had dimensione510 for a while, the result of me spinning around in a chair and using whatever I saw first.

I then had a thread about what I should change it to, and I went with the people.

EDIT: I had meant to copy this into my previous post, and not make two. Please don't yell at me...

You can change capitalisation as much as you want, and the whole thing once.

I dunno, just a name I thought up of 2 years ago.

I stuck with it, used it on Deviantart, then came here and expanded the name.

Well, my last name is 'Heron' which for those of you not aware, is a type of bird. And I'm a boy; so you combine these two together and get...HeronBoy! Wait no..that sounds bad. So I chose something that's reasonably similar, and I ended up with birdboy. Yay!

I made mine after many 'cool' and 'awesome' names were taken by my classmates in highschool when we used to play 30 man Quake 3 demo games. So I decided to make a name no one would have. I took the name of my then faveourite drum and bass song artist and my love of the sniper rifle in UT99/rail gun in Quake 3 for a unique (and subsequently shitty and very embarassing) name.
When I joined my first clan someone acronymed it to DSK, and I've used that ever since.

My current gaming nick is DSK^_^AznSmile

Thank you very much, Mr Pirate!
From now on englishjesus will be known as Solstrana91!
Not that many shall care...I believe myself to be rather unknown.

My usual nickname is Panzer. It was taken. I added Lord to make me sound important, and because I find number suffixes/prefixes to be incredibly stupid.

It's based off my gamertag. Which is based of a very very tough boss in one of my favorite JRPGs of all times. Tales of Symphonia

I changed mine the other day so I'm fairly sure that adding in a capital doesn't count as your name change
I know it doesn't count as your one change, I'm just debating between actually doing it or not.
In that case you might as well change it. If you don't like it just flip it right back.

I got really confused then: you have now changed it to capitals haven't you?

Yes, I changed it a few minutes ago. I'll see how I like it for a while.

I didn't my brother did. I couldn't pick a steam username, so he took the keyboard from me and typed in 'Boxes of boxes'. The name stuck.

My PSN, XBL, and Steam accounts have all been some variation of 'bassdrum', so it just made sense. Originally, I chose it because I play music (guess which instruments) and I'm really clever when it comes to naming things.
