Username Origins

[Eddie the head]

100% ripped off from Iron Maiden. And 100% shameless.

 

[ksn0va]

Nothing complicated, just a modern, half l33t version for Casanova. Also, during my younger days I used to kill-steal(KS) a lot in multi-player and online games.

 

[F'Angus]

At first it was Fat Angus, which I got from Worms Armageddon as a randomly generated name.

Then it got cut down to F'Angus because Fat Angus was taken. But also fits with The Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot, which was a cancelled Oddworld game.

 

[JLML]

Well, it's my name. Kind of. Joel Lars Magne Ljungberg. So yea. Go figure.

If that one sounds boring, then how about my avatar? I was sitting alone in my room late in the evening fiddling around with some stuff in Apophysis 7x, when suddenly I added a variable that changed everything. It created a creature of some kind. So I rendered it. Started using this "creature" as my avatar around the intrawebz, though it was hard to see it clearly in the beginning (it's actually a lot larger than in this image, you see), and I had to cut down on the file size for this site, anyway. . . so I kind of just cut out the "face" or whatever of it and used that.
Bit more interesting, right? ^_^

 

[cahtush]

Needed a steam name.
Probably something to do with cats, dont remember.

 

[DoPo]

A type-o that stuck

Ha, I'm the same. Short story: I misspelled "Doom" by hitting the p between the two o's, and eded up with "Dopo". I thought it was awesome and it wasn't attached to any meaning[footnote]Although, since I've learned that there is a word "dopo" in Italian but whatever[/foootnote], so I capitalised the P kept it. The long story is, well, longer and more boring. But I've been consistently using this handle since 2004-ish. And the somewhat awesome part is that it's quite hard to track me through the Internet, since "dopo" spews a bunch of pages in Italian.

I just found the idea of unzipping a bear suit and expecting some guy playing a practical joke then finding a large wolf which mauls you and runs away with your foot to be amusing.

That made my week!

CAPTCHA: stinky feet
Hey! They are not... I'll go take a shower now, OK? Stop judging me!

 

[Ix Rebound]

Has anyone read "Ice Station" by Matthew Reilly?
The guy in the book who has the callsign "Rebound" got it because of the same reason I did
.......and its not a very good reason

and its "Ix" because thats just the little Xbox 360 online group that i play in with my friends

 

[Entitled]

I find it ridiculous when people try to insult me by calling me entitled. So I reclaimed the word.

 

[snagli]

I have no idea. Snagli is just something random that popped into my head when I had to pick a username for the first time. I've used others that made more sense, but in the end I always use Snagli.

One of these days, I'll pick a username that is actually connected to me.

 

[Frontastic]

It came from one of those many long afternoons in school where you're bored, tired and just talking nonsense with a friend. I can't remember how exactly it came about but it was during a talk about Stargate and how ceaselessly funny I found the situation with O' Neill when he downloaded the ancient database into his head and would complain of "fron-aches". It's now my default username for most things.

 

[DeadXV]

Edit: Thought i was using a different user name.

I made mine up, originally it was DeadX cause it sounded cool and some where along the way i added the V (The XV are roman numerals by the by)

 

[Guffe]

It's a shortening from my lastname.
Or a well... sort of... well fuck this, it's a modified shorted version of my real lastname

 

[Starik20X6]

Username: My 'IRL' nickname and a Homestar Runner reference, specifically to Stinkoman 20X6, the in-universe parody of all things anime.

Avatar: Favourite playable class in LEGO Heroica, the Ranger.

[hr]

I was really into LEGO

the whole lego thing doesn't hold much relevance to me anymore

 

[Fractral]

Well, originally I went by 'Virualkid', which was my XBL nickname. But then I realised that people were preconcieving me as a 12 year old computer obsessed kid (to be fair, when I made it, I was a 12 year old computer obsessed kid) so I changed to Fractral, a mis-spelling of Fractal, which is related to my favourite subject, maths.
So a kind of brand name change, if you like.

 

[T0BB0]

Created about 10 years ago, playing an online social thing called Habbo Hotel. This was the first time I ever created an online account, my parents were slow on the whole "internet sensation". Lacking creativity at the time, I simply transposed the first two letters of my name onto Habbo and thus, Tobbo. I experimented with other online names since then but this is the only one which stuck. Sometimes this requires zeros to be placed instead of o's in the event that someone else has joined that community/game before me and took the name, or I've forgotten my password and needed to create a new account.

 

[Sajuuk_Khar]

Mine is a title from the game Homeworld 2, not much creativity or back story. My avatar is simply a pic of the woman who received the title in the game.

I used to use Grossemullet, grosse being German for big, and my hairstyle until last year being a foot long mullet... I didn't have any accounts that used an avatar then.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

My name, well, I thought it up one day when I needed a user name for some game loooong ago, and I've been using it pretty well everywhere ever since, just, don't trust the twitter account with this name, it's an imposter, I don't use twitter.

 

[Th37thTrump3t]

The name Th37thtrump3t sprang into existance for three reasons:

1. I was tired of using Halo3rulzer. Me and a friend made it in 7th grade and it started to sound really juvenile.

But then I realised that people were preconcieving me as a 12 year old computer obsessed kid (to be fair, when I made it, I was a 12 year old computer obsessed kid)

(Saw this and it pretty much summed up my first reason perfectly.)

2. In a biblical sense, it marks the end of all things. (I'm not religious in any way, just loved the symbolism in the name.)

3. Avenged Sevenfold named their first album Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. I loved the name.
