Poll: Where did your user name come from?

[TheTygerfire]

Mine is a remake of my first user name on Gamefaqs, TheRipfire,and yes I just made that name because it sounded cool at the time. The "Tyger" part came from my being a member of the fur fandom (no Fursecution please, and don't defend us either -__- I haven't been here long but I know what the very mention of the word "furry" does to the whole internets, let alone here)

Side note, I also had a Quake name called Chainman, because the idiots in my IT class would always leave Unlim. Ammo on, so I grabbed the Chaingun and held fire the whole time. But I was a terrible shot back then so I got killed constantly anyway. XD

So, any stories?

 

[Clairaudient]

It's the name of a song I like. It's also one of the few names I liked that didn't need an 03859093 at the end of it when I was setting up my Xbox Live account. I usually go by either this (Clairaudient) or SpinDoctor (on Steam).

 

[Spooky_101]

I just like the name
the number is there
because as usual the name is taken
so I picked something random

 

[Souplex]

It is from the time I suplexed god. The O is just a typo.

 

[ChocoCake]

I chose mine because it underlines one of my greatest passions.

 

[Mister Payne]

I wanted my name to be "El Diablo", but it was taken. Therefore, Mister Payne.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

the first part is my real name (well not actually I just prefer Drake) and the second part is a tribute to my favorite film and in my opinion the best movie ever, Dragonheart! Also, if I ever became an actual knight, Drake The Dragonheart is the name I would use.

 

[Galletea]

I made it up, bout 10 years ago. Then I found out that I hadn't made it up, and I'd just misspelled a mythological character. But by then I'd already used it a few times, and I kept it.

 

[Resistance205]

Resistance, because i think it is a cool word and i like the idea of resistance.

205 because when i was making my Bebo account, every name was taken. So i just added 205 randomly.

 

[Zephirius]

Well, I once opened up a dictionary. I read the word Zephyr. It sounded cool. Fast forward a few months and a few adjustments due to unavailable accountnames and Zephirius hath arriveth. 'Course these days I sign up everywhere as Zaideros which was the best-sounding name I could think up while randomly checking names to see if they were taken in hotmail. Partially due to my encounter of...something, game, website or otherwise, memory fails, where the account Zephirius was already taken.

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

I chose Mydogisblue because I'm guaranteed that no matter what forum I decide to sign up for no one else will have it as their name.

 

[Veni Vidi Vici]

Mine is a quote by Julius Caesar -- "I came, I saw, I conquered."

 

[Balgus]

my first user name was screwlose (yeah i was a 12 year old CS:Ser so what =P)
i chose this one cos i was sick of people asking me whether i knew if i spelt my name wrong.

its from escaflowne yeah yeah its a shoujo anime but i like the steam punk giant robots.

 

[Woe Is You]

"Woe is me" is an Early Modern English phrase that basically translated to "I feel sorry for myself".

I just switched the pronoun.

 

[JMeganSnow]

It's my name. My actual name.

I used to use a clever nickname, but I find the whole alias thing annoying, so I switched to using my name. I STILL get mildly annoyed when people call me "Megan". If you don't know what my actual name is, use the whole SN.

 

[TMAN10112]

One of my nicknames was "T" so I used TMAN(the numbers are there so I can use the same name everywhere even if TMAN is taken like on XBL).

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I derived mine from a username I made up just because I thought it sounded pretty nifty, which was Zentrenius. However, later I realized that the first three letters described my personality and overall demeaner fairly well, so I use that on more recently made online accounts.

 

[rottenbutter]

I chose Mydogisblue because I'm guaranteed that no matter what forum I decide to sign up for no one else will have it as their name.

My reason is the same as his.

 

[fluffylandmine]

I stepped on a cat once...

 

[Fightgarr]

Named after the scruffy and scratchy-voiced badass of the Cheat Commandos... except I think I added an extra "r" on the end. Oh well, its my name for everything.
