Username Origins

[Eijarel]

err..

Lerajie Backwards

"Lerajie is one of the 72 Spirits of Solomon. He can cause battles, and make archery wounds to become gangrenous.

Lerajie appears as an archer dressed in green, and carrying a bow and quiver of arrows."

 

[shadyh8er]

I hate Slim Shady, but I didn't want to be too obvious about it.

 

[Arcane Snowman]

Well, my surname is associated with snow, and one of the many mispronunciations, when people just gave up trying to pronounce it properly, or indeed, at all, has been snowman. I'm a big fantasy fan, with a passion for mysticism, and so, although I had another username which I pretty much used from the beginning of my internet frolicking, this just seemed like too good a name to pass up.

 

[Locko96]

I once tricked my brother on an online chat room using this username. I like it!

 

[8-Bit Grin]

I got bored with 'Fingerlicking' and decided that '8-Bit Grin' sounded cooler.

Now I have second thoughts...

 

[Koganesaga]

I had a friend who made and managed his own little MMO, and he wanted me to make 3 names for my characters which had to be original, so I thought of this one and two others which I keep as back-ups.

 

[zfactor]

My last name starts with z so.................

 

[Hallow'sEve]

Guess...

 

[Andalusa]

I don't know where I got it from, but since I first used it for my EVE online account. I tried to use my old Escapist username (Ula) but it was taken, so I changed my Escapist username and I now use Andalusa for everything. Except XBL. Someone beat me to it.

 

[Adijia]

Mine was when I was trying to come up with a password for somthing, I typed in adgjl (everyother letter on the second row of the keyboard) and then miss-typed it to adjl. I added a few vowels and voila! Adijia.

 

[gred]

My older brother made an MMO account for some game for me when I was around 8.
He used gred as a username and it just stuck.

 

[carletonman]

rather quite a simple run-together of my university and gender... That said my gamertags are all an anagram of a summer camp I used to work at

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

This is totally my real name...

*Illusion ruined by fan of Escape from New York!!!

Hehe, this will be awesome. From now on, everyone at the Escapist will think of me when they see the film.

Any Kojima fan will also love X2 because Snake Pliskin was the major influence on Solid Snake/Big Boss's appearance for the Metal Gear Solid series.

 

[Kernalgohd]

my second character on wow was gohd, eventually he got to lvl 55, i wanted a death knight, and i thought the name was awesome, so I put Kernal in front of it.... the popcorn one yeah I know, even though colonel is pronounced kernal, most people still call it call-oh-nell so I wanted to make sure there was no misconception.

 

[Snipermanic]

I just came up with it the day I first tried multi-player of any kind on MoH:AA, never used a different name.

 

[runnernda]

This is the username I've used for everything since sixth grade. I've run year-round since 4th grade (cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track), and the initials of the school I went to from 6th-12th grade was NDA. It's easy to remember and it's never taken, so it's stuck

 

[fessferenc]

Fess Ferenc, sometimes also referred to as The Ferenc is a character from a series of books by the author Brian Lumley. He's a 10 foot tall Whamphyri lord with blade like claws instead of hands.

 

[MentalBakura]

I made this username about 7 years ago, on a small Yugioh forum. The name simply came from the character Bakura, with Mental tacked on the front. It's stuck ever since.

 

[C117]

Well, it's the same username I've used since about 2002, when I wasn't allowed to have the username "C17". Add another 1 and away we go, C117 open for business.

 

[Gnarynhar]

Thordis was taken, so I used the word I made up to express my frustration when my connection drops on IRC.
