Poll: Where did your user name come from?

[Mr. Squirrel]

People call me Squirrel, I kinda added the Mr. because I'm a guy.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

For shooters i used to use BulletWizard (still do for CoD 4), but one game i tried to use that for, some bastard already took it, so i chose ChromeAlchemist instead, really because it is a homage to Fullmetal alchemist and because the some guns have a chrome finish to them (and I was creating this account for fps mostly).

And THAT is how I beat Jesus in an arm wrestle. It was savage...

 

[Littaly]

It was a nickname I had IRL for a few weeks that I got fond off. It was basically the result of discussing ghettos in school. And at the time I was no taller than 150 cm (I think I was 15-16 at the time) in addition I was thought to be of Italian heritage (which technically I'm not, I just used to live down there). So basically someone started calling me "Little Italy" for giggles and then shortened it down to L'italy. After a while it faded away but I kinda liked the sound of it, so I decided to let it live on through the Intrawebz ^^

 

[Alphavillain]

My username Alphavillain comes from Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 film, "Alphaville", with a little influence from U.S. rapper Madvillain.

 

[Neosage]

Well it was a mix of two things in halo 1 my favourite armour colour was Sage and my favourite class in Fire Emblem:Sacred Stones was the sage class so I generally put Sage somewhere in my name e.g Sagemaster E=live tag, Haveneosage= DoW name, Teh Sage= laser force card .

 

[Jovlo]

Mine is made out of my initials.
First name starts with Jo, last name is two words starting with V and Lo.
Put those together and you get Jovlo.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

Yknow that game, goldeneye rogue agent?
Damn, the main character pwns everyone with his eye! THat's so...... AWESOME!!
I also enjoyed the game.

 

[MissShortosity]

I have a liking for Neil Gaimn's Sandman that borders on creepy.

Aaaah, So there are others! I heart Neil Gaiman's Sandman... but they be so expensive!

My name started in my later years of high school. I am, as my name might suggest, rather short (juuuuuust on 5 foot 2 inches). My rather not-short friend, Aron, towering over me at around 6"3, amazed me with his fantastic powers of observation. He noticed I was short, yet fearing the wrath of my glare (and rather painful fists) turned it into a good thing and told me I was the "queen of shortosity." That became my email addy, but when I signed up for XBL, queen of shortosity had too many characters, so it became "Miss Shortosity". My life in a nutshell (oh, and having REALLY tall friends sucks)

 

[Ace of Spades]

I was playing Blackjack with my friends, and I got blackjack with the Jack and the Ace of Spades.

 

[Fronken]

Its a really long story, so ill short it down a bit, it basicly started when my neighboor started calling me Frankrike (france in swedish), cause i wanted to go there really much when i was a kid, then he changed it to Fronkensten (after the Mel Brooks movie), then it got shorted down into Fronken, and ever since then its been my irl nickname, everyone i know knows me as Fronken and not Fredrik (my irl name), and im actually thinking about changing it legally to Fronken, seeing as i've been called it for 15 years now (since i was 4).

 

[WolfLordAndy]

I use to collect gamesworkshop, and when the begining of "online games" started (Age of empires and Red Alert 1 via direct connect on a 56k modem) I called my self Wolf Lord Andy. I did this due to two facts. 1. I collected Space Wolves. 2. My name is Andrew.

Thus my name was born, and I've kept it since. Though I do sometimes go by Andreas VonDyke or HandyAndrew depending on fantasy/alt settings.

 

[Jharry5]

Mine is just a much shortened version of my real life name, Jonathan Harris. The '5' was added on the end for luck (it's my lucky number).

 

[Woundingisfun]

Because I like to wound people.





..No I dont, but I chose it first for my BF2 account so that's when I started using it everywhere. =D

 

[jebussaves88]

Jebus saves, he shoots, he scores!

And I'm 20

 

[Lord George]

Its my name. Yes that's basically it.....what do you mean its unimaginative

 

[MasterStratus]

The day I decided to change my Xbox username I saw a Stratus cloud in the sky and it was huge so I called it the MasterStratus.

 

[TheTygerfire]

I found the Idea of a plainly obvious ninja compleatly hillaious.

Plus it goes with my lack of perception.

>__>

 

[Neon Orange Ninja]

*SCISSORS!*

To be Honest, I diddn't even think about that when I was writing my username

 

[xitel]

My name here is the name of my first D&D character, and I've stuck with it ever since. My name on Steam is from the most awesome techno track ever. "I'm a Fucking Car!"

 

[Insomniactk]

At the time i had major sleeping difficulties and it sounded cool. But the "tk" is just there because "Insomniac" had already been taken.
