Got mine from a series of books called "The Wheel of Time". If you've read far enough into the series you'll know what its referring to. I liked it, and it just kinda stuck.

It was my nickname in Uni to distinguish me from Ginger Phil and Oh Shit! Phil. I got it because I'm Phil and I RP'ed an Orc in the local LARP soceity.

Mine represents my last name (can you guess what it is??). My freshman year of high school a guy I knew started calling me that and it's just kinda been my online handle ever since.

I had dreadlocks, I am a pirate, and my beard grows ranga...
i also go by undeadcrackwhore when someone has stolen my name already. That one happened because i got sick of everything else being taken unless I added a 3209786 to the end of it.
I seriously said "If someone already has the user name undeadcrackwhore, I'll slit my effing wrists in frustration!"

MinorInconvenience. Short for Minor inconvenience Man, my superhero name as a kid. Friend call me minor for short which can lead to all kinds of jokes. For a while my name was Dr. M.Inconvenience, but surgery just wasn't my thing.

I have 2 4 usernames actually. (Last two are hardly used.)

First is Simskiller my primary, which was created after watching a few Episodes of Strangerhood by roosterteeth (Which I watched before Red vs Blue as that looked boring to me at the time (I believe it was episode 52 they were at when I did start watching), and wanting to comment/post on the forum I had to think of an appropriate username. I played the Sims as well and I killed them... a lot. Mostly with fire. Hence Simskiller was born, with my Xbox motto being "Sims+fire=SMORES!" (Even though I don't own a Xbox and it's my Games for Windows live motto which is basically Xbox on the PC).

I add 101 at the end as my lego username when I was a kid was kid101. I made that when I was 8 or nine.

(Used basically every bloody where I can)

Second is Lokikron, which is a combination of a Norse God (Norse mythology rules) and the misspelling of the name of Conan's god in Conan the Barbarian, due to Arnold. (Used in mmorpg's)

Third is lokiandosiris (Youtube and second email), combination of Norse and egyptian mythology/ It's the name of The Order's Mothership in Freelancer.

and Forth is Aurius Fenrir a name a friend made up for my character in a story he wrote using other peoples characters. I used it in APB beta and EVE and that's it.

It's from The Simpsons, I just added Lord on the front after a particularly good Halo 2 deathmatch.

This name came out of my personal name-generating machine that has a habit for creating unique easily recognizable usernames that people tend to remember. I started using this name as early as April 2008 and it ended up becoming my username of choice for all online business that I partake in after October 2008. Though that is a lengthy timeframe, the name itself has only really been associated with my WoW account and my activities on this website.

As for where it comes from... lets just say that personal traditions played a role. :3

The Captain or Ludus would be my first choices if I were to change my online name.
Ludus is latin for Games. (Ludology is the study of video games)

A stroke of genius gone too far. I started it off as a character for a story then as I developed the character in the story the more I wanted to become more like him. Weird... That was like two years ago, and now the name just kinda sticks...

Taken from V's introduction speech from V for Vendetta. Always loved that film, plus seeing as I have a certain admiration for the Vaudevillian era, why not? Plus I figured that it would be original.
