Usernames

[Vrex360]

Once upon a time a little boy got an Xbox and played his first game of Halo: combat evolved. He then realised he had to make a profile with a name, this little boy was a very big fan of dinosaurs and decided to emulate that by naming his account 'Trex' (as in T-rex) however he got distracted by a loud noise and accidentally hit the 'V' instead of the 'T'.
When he looked up he was amazed by the coolness of his new profile name so he chose to stick with it.

Then later on as a teenager he bought his first next gen console and when Halo 3 came along 'Vrex' became 'Vrex360' (even though his actual xbox live name was Sangheli360) and so when he decided to log onto an online sit called 'the Escapist' he knew what name to go under.

And they all lived happily ever after.

So yeah, that's my story of my username.

 

[Andalusa]

I found it in a name book. This one and my old one. The reason I changed to this one is because I use this name for everything else on the interwebs and my Eve character. It just makes things easier.

 

[SmartIdiot]

Once again it was from a song a friend and I wrote when we were 16 called 'The Smartest Idiots ever'. I chose it to hang onto the memories.

 

[delta46]

Mine was when i was playing StarWars Battledront , i was playing as the droids and at the end of the match the best player on the opposite team was an AI unit called Delta-46

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

No idea for the first part. Second part should be obvious.

 

[Totenkopf]

I like skulls, plain and simple. Totenkopf is the German word for skull / death's head.

 

[drunksniper999]

I was trying to think of a name to use for my online gaming. I always snipe in games so i figured something to do with that would work. Then i got an image in my head, what would happen if a sniper were to get drunk before going out on a mission. There you go, it cracked me up when i thought about it, and it still manages to make people laugh online.

 

[GundamSentinel]

It's from the days I still liked Gundam Seed. I've been using it for years, never bothered to think of a new one.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I'm reknowned for my violent shifts between really happy, optimistic and kind...and insatiably angry and grumpy

I also chased a friend with a knife once, just because I wanted to scare him because the joker freaked him out (WHY SO SERIOUS? *Chases with Swiss army knife*

...plus, I just found out recently, intensely fragile mental wellbeing runs in my family! They're all insane!

 

[JEBWrench]

My initials + a tool.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I had no idea what to put as a username, so I just started making weird noises. Eventually, I was wobbling my lips and saying "Fuuuuuuuuurbuuuuuuuuuurt" so I just used that.

Not as amazing as I'd like to think it was.

Do you know, the closest I've ever seen a name like Furburt is Steve Furber (Fur-burr), the Professor of Computer Engineering at Manchester Uni. Yours is a truely unique...thing

I only know this because my Dad knows him

 

[Huupertti]

something what I came up with my friends...

 

[Galletea]

I made it up when I was about 12. I probably just subconsciously took it from Galatea from greek mythology as I was into that kinda thing at the time. It's unique and so I'm usually Galletea on the interwebs.

 

[Daveman]

Well, see, my name is David...

 

[Haloperidol]

Umm I used to be addicted to Haloperidol.

Emphasis on the words 'used to'.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Mine is my main character's name. I would have gone with my youtube name Lokiduck which actually fits better for this site than a magical girl's name, but it's too late for that.

You can change your name, but only ONCE.

You can change capitalization as many times as you want, though.

EDIT: Damn, I forgot. I got my name from a poll I did to see which I should switch to.

I figured my current nom de plume of dimensione510 wasn't doing it for me (to many numbers, and I got computer stuff whenever I googled myself) so I created a thread as well as around 7 names asking which I should go with.

One was a hungry cities reference, another was "Obvious Ninja" and the one that one was Ironic Pirate, which people always seem to think is Iconic Pirate.

 

[Chrono212]

Mine was randomly generated by my Xbox

Really? Hu... :/

Anyway OT: Starting Battlefield: 2142, needed a user name and the gods of gaming chose me as their champion looked at stuff, then my watch: "Chronograph"

Oh, the '212' is because '2142' is lame and I could use it elsewhere (like everywhere )

 

[Iznat]

My username is my name backwards.
I figure I could've used my real name, and you would be none the wiser.
