Olas is the nickname I usually go by. It's the last half of my real name: Nicholas.
The rest ought to be self explanatory.
I know my username might sound a little boastful but it's just the one I use for almost every account I create, starting when I made an EA account to play Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth over half a decade ago.

I was trying to think up an XBL gamertag that didn't contain any "Snipes", "Majiiks", "CoD", "Alucards", "Boi", real name, birth date, foreign accented characters, arbitrary numbers, X's, I's, random spaces, l33t typing, alternating caps or doubled letters; but was short, snappy, reflected how I play, stood out and made literal sense.

That was 5 years ago. I try to keep my username the same but sometimes I fancy something different. Like a second character on a game or something: I now have a pool of epic username, some are quite original and roll off of the tongue and could pass as an actual name, but Bvenged was the first that sparked my innovative streak. It's one of the worst but the one I'm attached to and most associated with.

My Youtube channel is "Bvenged505" because I made the Bvenged channel, it bugged up, so I deleted it and remade it but apparently the "name is still taken" despite nobody on youtube having the account. That's the only time I have fallen out of line with usernames.

I'd rather not share the others out until I've become more established online with them. :D the last thing I want is to see a "new" member with the name of one of them stealin' my persona.

I started playing Runescape seriously when I was twelve years old. Fourteen-year-old me got rid of it. But, for some reason, I decided to bring it back here instead of my more common nom de net.

[sub]it was originally 'x13x37x'[/sub]

I love puns and wordplay, and a play on words is just that, so I decided to be insufferably clever (or so I imagined), and chose that as a name. That way, if people ask, I can say my name is a play on words.

Nothing but a somewhat childish play on good old saxton hale.
Its a shame I could never find a more explicit picture to use as an avatar.

You know those child blocks with one letter on one side and another on the other?

Well, one day, my full first name was spelled out on them, and I turned it around to see what it looked like on the other side. The spelling I've used has been tweaked, since then.

"Z of the Na'vi" symbolizes my fandom for James Cameron's Avatar, with the Z being the first letter of my first name, and Na'vi, for obvious reasons. I thought it quite rolled off the tongue pretty well, and I've come to appreciate it after all these years.

...it sure as hell beats my first username on this site, "RocketPocket."

Mine was my go to name for fantasy games, rpgs, and other games for a long time. So I adapted it to a forum name as well.

Pocky means some kind of chocolate in Japan (I think) and don is short for doughnut. So it means Chocolate Doughnut

Mykin = My kin minus the space. Quite a few years back, I wanted to change my username to something unique and this was what I came up with. Stuck with me ever since.

My current Username is just something from Illusion of Gaia. Remember the Assassin, The Jackal? Well that's where I took it from, but for some reason decided to purposely misspell "Jackal". I was 8 or so when I made it, so... yeah. Either I thought it would be "cool" or "Jackal" was already taken. Since than It's has stuck until I started playing WoW about 3 years ago(?).

Dhallus, my current username on anything, is based on a character I created for a scrapped game idea. Dhallus was the villain.

Probably the most simple, boring, and unoriginal username yet.
I don't know about boring, I find a short real name far easier to remember than "rand0mjumble0flettrs6"

This is the name I randomly came up with for my first Baldur's Gate character and it just sorta evolved into my go-to username on the internets.
