Tippy was a nickname given to me during high school

When your favorite poster was born in the year of our Lord 1986, he was born way prematurely. His greatness could not be contained in his mother's womb so he broke out of that prison in early January (it was SUPPOSED to be late March but fuck that; I play by my own rules!).

Unfortunately, that means that not everything developed the way it was supposed to and I was born with my Achilles tendons in my leg too short. Long story short; this caused me to walk/run up on my tip-toes rather than flat footed like a normal person. I've had multiple surgeries to correct this but there's always a trace of it when I'm running.

Cut to twelve years later and the kids on the soccer field realize this when I'm running. Being the little shits that they are, people mocked poor Tippy2k2 with the nickname Tippy. Cut to two years later when I moved away and went to high school. My step-brother (who was aware of the Tippy nickname) starts using it in a positive light to the high school team and everyone is happy now. Every screen-name/email/gamer profile/midget wrestling enthusiast site of mine somehow incorporates Tippy into the name.

Tippy was available on this website but I was using Tippy2k2 a lot due to Tippy being taken on other sites and I thought it would be easier to consolidate my user names into one super name.

Mine is a variation of "Zarathos" which is the true name of the demon that takes control of Johnny Blaze'/Dan Ketch' body in the Ghost Rider comics.

I was such (still am) a huge Ghost Rider fan that I slapped that name on just about anything, including on characters in MMOs I played. Eventually, I substituted the "Z" and "S" for "X" to retain the pronunciation because some jack-off had already registered the original for another MMO I had started playing. And, I just kind of kept it this way ever since.

My name used to be Wild Cat. I had a period where I always played on the cat theme. Recently changed it to Lynx, thought it was cooler.

Miaow.

Just a stupid self-styled nickname from long ago when I was a giant anime head.

Somehow it just kind of stuck.

Its my nickname from real life, used by those I deem worthy of its use. Basically just an abbreviation of my surname, which I shall not be revealing here :p

Screamarie is just something that came to mind when I was like...thirteen or so. I've used it as a username and pen name ever since. And I don't really care how it's pronounced. Some read it as two words, Scream Marie, or others just read it as one. I feel either is acceptable.

Just some stupid username I thought sounded cool back when I made it. I first used it on some Sonic the Hedgehog forum to refer to "Chaos", but also because of all those images with Sonic eating a hotdog, so I was like "relish" (on a hot dog) and "chaos" (the character)...I "relish in chaos".

I am quite a chaotic person, to be fair.

My username is just a fantasy name I just made up. In saying so I guess the first part is scar (or maybe rim)related while coral is like sea coral. So altogehted a scar coral?

I need to talk to someone (not sure who) about changing the 'Electro' to 'Hearts'. I just thought it sounded cool and while I do like Electro music, it fitted well with my name.
Eevee is my nickname and one of my favourite Pokemon. EeveeHearts is a sort of contraction (Is that the right word?) of my full name.
Unless you changed it before, just go to "Edit Profile Details" on your profile page and you should be able to

To quote Family Guy Spider-Man though, "Everybody gets one"

OT: I wanted to think of something awesome, and thus my name was born

The 115 part is because of the song

My gamer name is Rookie, it has been for several years now. However in online games if I can get the name of a Baldur's gate character as my ingame name I will do so. (I Have "Minsc and Boo" on League of Legends FUCK YEAH!)

When I was like 11, I tried finding a gamertag for Xbox live, but every single one I wanted was taken. In my prepubescent rage, I typed in Dangit2019 (2019 being the year I hopefully graduate college), and it accepted it permanently. Since then, I've just ran with it.

Xbox Live random name generator back in '08, when I first got my 360.
Pretty much the best thing it gave us, and I've been using it for many things ever since.

"Cel" is the last part of my last name. My dad used to say I was a shrimp when I was still smaller than him (even though I have always been very tall for my age and tower over everyone now that I am an adult). So I've used Shrimpcel, my real-life childhood nickname, on the Internet since I've been on it.

Started off originally as "Blitztank" which I got from the character Blitzwing in Transformers: Animated and switching out the second part with his other alt-mode (a tank). I added the "Baron von" to the front some time later since I figured "Blitztank" was too short so I used the title from Baron Dante (the villain in the game Croc: Legend of the Gobbos) with "von" added inbetween to make it flow better and to add +11 to coolness.

I guess looking at it, it means I am the 'Baron of the Lightning Tank' which sounds pretty awesome.
