Origin of your Username (If it's not your real one)

[HPoirot]

Well mine is also my WoW characters name, i got it when i missread a name in a book. the original name was asmodeus or something like that and i missread it as asmondaus

As in Asmodeus the adder from Redwall?

Anyway my name comes from Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

 

[Skeleon]

Did I already post in this one?
I'm not sure...
It's from back in the days when I played Diablo.
I always thought Skeletons were awesome.
I looked for a medieval-sounding name and came up with Leon.
Then I combined the two words into Skeleon.
So, no, it's not a typo, it's witty!

 

[Bluebacon]

For some reason its what my gf calls me when she's feeling random. I just got used to it to the point where I answered to it.

Having to explain that to a bunch of random people just revealed how odd a nickname it actually is.

 

[DazZ.]

My nicknames Dazz, but that was taken.

Damn you, Dazz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/DazZ] you inactive prick. *Fist shake*

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I like snuggling, and thus Mrsnugglesworth was born.

 

[AngloDoom]

Friend of mien on Xbox Live was named 'WelshDoom' and we planned to assemble the combined powers of the UK to create a new Xbox 360 Empire. I was chosen as the AngloDoom, scoffer of scones. We had to IrishDoom or ScottishDoom simply because my Xbox died after the warranty, and I can no longer communicate with WelshDoom.

Typical politics.

 

[Jezzeh]

The first forum I was ever on, my username was Jester Child. I was sort of the "class clown" if you will, which is where the name originated. It sort of became my only internet name for the longest time, until a friend of mine started to morph it all around.

First the "Child" part dropped off. Then Jester became Jes, Jes switched to Jez, and finally Jez morphed into Jezzeh.

Somebody somewhere decided that adding extra letters to it sounded cooler, and it sort of stuck. Soon everyone on that particular forum was calling me Jezzeh, and from there it spread.

Jezzeh is the only screen name I use anymore on any website. If you're on a site and you see a Jezzeh somewhere, it's me.

...And no, I really don't know how it's pronounced either.

 

[Lordmarkus]

I just needed some username when I started playing NFS Hot Pursuit 2 online, couple of years ago. Then I just took "Lord" from Lord Voldemort (love the Harry Potter series) and my own name "Markus". Voila, Lord Markus.

I know it's rather unoriginal but I love the name.

 

[TheMatt]

My username?

I couldn't think of a name for my battle.net account so I literally facerolled my keyboard. Four letters came up. And Gxas was born.

Ahhhh battle.net, it has been too long. Footmen tournament anyone?

On topic - I used to have a man-crush on the Rock. So, I am the Matt.

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

It's my gamer tag. I got my gamer tag from a joke at Screw Attack (Proud G1!).

 

[Cylem]

I needed a name for a new Maplestory character, so I chose letters from the names of stuff sitting on my desk. I liked the way "Cylem" sounded, so I switched my GaiaOnline username to it and all my friends started calling me "Cylem" at school.

I actually answer faster to "Cylem" than "Emily" now...

 

[Kinguendo]

Its my online Alias and I got it when I was trying to make a profile for Time Splitters 2, I decided my real name sucks and that using "Master" for everything seemed egotistical so I wne twith Jak and when I tried that online it was taken and this angered me.... I quickly turned to evil deeds after that, also I do go through "good/bad choice" games as the villain first... always, without fault... or reason.

 

[mythbuster343]

Why the hell [i/]wouldn't[/i] I have pantsoffdanceoff as my user name?

Don't know

 

[Kinguendo]

Well mine is also my WoW characters name, i got it when i missread a name in a book. the original name was asmodeus or something like that and i missread it as asmondaus

As in Asmodeus the adder from Redwall?

Anyway my name comes from Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

Everytime I see the word Poirot I always think of Pie Rot... I just make that connection.

 

[tucanjamal]

mine comes from the fact that i have a big nose and so does a tucan so yeea that's it really

 

[latenightapplepie]

Well I was eating some apple pie one night when I was joining a different forum. I thought I should carry it over.

I know, I'm super creative.

 

[JBarracudaL]

My first and last initials with "barracuda" in between, a nickname of mine that came about due to my Quentin Tarantino chin.

 

[midkaniggit]

Well, my username has gone through a lot of changes. When i was little it was Kingteddy, because i loved feudal(damn straight i said feudal!!!) europe, and i was obsessed with teddy bears. I was a little fail. from there i went to midknight522 wich is a pretty cool mix between the time of night, and a knight,yes, it was a pun, the numbers are my exgirlfriend's birthday. So i clearly had to change it, and i noticed people with numbers in there names are unoriginal because they cant thi nkof anything for them selves, so i noticed that in monty python and the holy grail the french guy says kaniggits, so i used it and it stuck....boom, story of my life.

 

[jonnopon3000]

Lol funny story that no one tends to get. I used to get picked on in primary skl cause basically i tried to do things my way. Cause the name Jonathan has nuttin to pick on, people used to come up to call me "Jonnopon" to try and piss me off/offend me. I found this quite pathetic, but when i reached secondry skl and got interested in all the com and internet stuff, i needed a common internet nickname that i could make aa name for myself with, and for some reason i thought Jonnopon would be kool-a kinda reminder of how i ended up as I am i guess. The 3000 is cause it sounds kool.

Long, and very misunderstood reason

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

Sion Barzahd is a character from an old squaresoft game. One who i physically resembled (and according to my friends talked like too) incidentally whenever we'd play a vs. match i'd go straight for Sion and was never beaten using him.
A few of my friends even began calling me it whenever they saw me, so it seemed natural to have it as my username.
