Never seen it anywhere else. It is however a word in Italian it seems. Whoops. But score! I got the second result for a Google search, for the Escapist of course.

To my knowledge my nickname is unique, though I have run into people with similar names

Mine is original, in fact I even tried googling it. Quite the ego-trip, all of the results were me :)

I made mine back in 1996 using a name generator, for a fantasy rpg that I cannot even remember now. I have not seen anyone with the same name, but I do remember finding one npc named Talendria back when I played World of Warcraft, that was pretty cool.

Mine's (to my knowledge) original, but I have run into one or two players named "Cryst", which is what I shorten my username to when the character limit is smaller than what is required of my name.

I like my username, I coined it back in '05/'06 and believe it to roll off the tongue well (though I did change it to Shadow Nightingale once).

Kidd Ego is a double reference to a somewhat obscure song from the late 80s/early 90s called "Kid Ego" by Extreme as well as a reference to a series of short stories I wrote during my senior year of High School called the "The Amazing Adventures of Kidd Ego!".

I also only use it on this site. And I've never met anyone who's actually gotten the reference to the song before let alone use the name anywhere else. But then I've left much of the internet landscape mostly unexplored, so yeah.

Not once, in the vast, convoluted maelstrom of child pornography and troll mating grounds known as the internet, be it on a game or a site, have I ever once seen the name...

I've been using mine since the 90's, and never run into anyone else with my 'name' - until I created my Xbox account 6 months ago and found that Grouchy Imp had already been taken. That's why I'm 'Grouchy Imp 616' as far as Xbox is concerned - I've never really seen the point of numbers in names, but I've been the Imp for the best part of twenty years, and I ain't gonna give up my name after all that time.

I didn't like the idea of "numbers and underscores" when I was making my username, and I still don't. So far I've not seen one other person using it. Hell you can even e-stalk me by googling it.

My username is unique to me it seems as every instance of it from google is myself sometimes i put number in it if needed for length or variation never because its taken (unless by myself in a previous account)

I have been using it almost as long as ive been on the internet (about 2000 onwards) and on almost every website i sign up to

Never seen anyone with my username. Then again most people think my last name is actually Sharpe, if people actually get the reference then I take an instant liking to them.

I've never met anyone else who used this name, but some websites have claimed "that name is unavailable", meaning someone probably has...but I have yet to find them.
Other than that, I try to use this name whenever I can.

I thought it was original when I made it, but I was very mistaken. I see my name everywhere, fuck it's even the name of a washing machine company. Eh, I don't give a shit. It sounds badass, and I have it where it matters to me, so I'm good.

I've seen a couple of users on TGWTG who have a lot of the same letters, but my user name is based on "Leecha" (Lika) & "L'Arc~en~ciel." (Pronounced Rarukenshiiru or Raruku for short). Leecha is my least favorite song on Gackt's first Solo album, Laruku is the band Sugizo came from. Who else would combine that?

Yeah, I always run across people with this username. I wish I had been more creative.


Seriously, I chose this name when I was a wee little lad (16). I had not yet discovered what creativity was.
