What's the meaning of your username?

[AlbertoDeSanta]

The 'Toxin' part comes from a ROM I played of Japenese Heart Gold. Five letters were limited and it just popped into my head. It stuck. 'Thegreat' comes from nowhere. It just stuck as a sort of title type thing. Plus no one else has used it. So many people have 'Toxin', but only I can claim to be 'Toxinthegreat'.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

My name is Beffudled Sheep.
I chose this name to signify that I am a sheep, one of the many in a herd following others almost blindly. However I am confused about who and where to follow. Do I follow the sheeple on the left or the sheeple on the right? Trend A or trend B? So many choices yet so little brainpower to choose. I'm a confused part of a faceless mass.

Or maybe I just thought it was humorous. Not sure which to choose...

 

[klown]

Well, My last name starts with a K, and everyone constantly thinks it starts with a C. So I took that and added a K to Clown, to make Klown, then I sometimes add 99 which was my football number back in the day. I pretty much am always Klown or Klown99 for everything sense.

 

[Proeliator]

Used to be I was always Timberwolf in every screen name i could, extending it to Timberwolf Proeliator, but then shortening to Proelaitor since I'd usually hit the character limit.

Oh, Proeliator means "warrior" in latin. Its also the last name of my main protagonist in my super awesome sci-fi space odyssey/adventure story that I'll never get around to finishing. First name originally Timberwolf, but I want to find something less cheesy.

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.

Side note: Dangit, does you avatar change like every day? I have an old tab i keep opening up with a post of yours (bunch of hilarious videos I never can get through watching all of) and its different every time.

 

[AVeryClassyCat]

Picking a youtube name a year ago and decided to go with this since it let me draw a fancy cat with a monocle and a top hat, and it wasn't taken.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Atmos - Atmosphere
Duality - Dual nature

I am a meteorologist (or "Atmospheric Scientist") and Duality is one of my favorite words.
(since one of my previous favorite words was ruined utterly by tweens in recent years, I went with Duality)

Yeah, I don't keep them for long. They usually fall into one of the following, for reference:

Brian Firenzi
MLP
Red Letter Media
Doctor Who
Andrew WK

By the way, what post are you referring to, out of curiosity?

 

[shogunblade]

shogunblade is the name of an RPG I wanted to write when I got a copy of RPG maker for the playstation 1 when I was about nine. I wrote out maps, characters, secrets, backstories, the works... then I found out the game reads like stereo instructions and gave up.

Funnily enough, I still have everything from when I was a kid, should I change my mind.

That's my story, it's not very good, but you know how the cookie crumbles.

What word was that?

 

[Dire Sloth]

I want to be feared by all.

 

[Atmos Duality]

My favorite time of the day during spring and summer: Twilight.

 

[IllumInaTIma]

My real full name is Temirlan, but friends call me Tima.
After Dan Brown's Angels and Demons i really liked the idea of Illuminati
Illuminati+Tima=Illuminatima

 

[Mocmocman]

I was trying to think of a Runescape name, but all of them were used. After a while I remembered one of my friends usernames, which was loveyman or something like that. I took the man part, and added the moc to signify that I had copied him. I know that mock isn't quite what I had meant, but I couldn't even spell back then. I suppose I should be "Mockmockman", but whatever. I just got so good at typing it back when I typed with one finger, and it's availability that I use it for all my usernames.

 

[ClockworkUniverse]

Mine's a reference to Deism, which is the belief in a god without a belief that said god interferes with the world. Proponents of this belief compare the universe to a watch, i.e. something that isn't tinkered with or modified extensively, but just observed.

I'm not actually a Deist, but I heard the analogy in History class in 10th grade and thought it was pretty interesting. Then last year, I was starting up a game review blog (which I really should work on more at some point), needed a cool-sounding, relevant title, and it occurred to me that the concept applies to games. I use it for usernames now (obviously).

 

[Dangit2019]

What word was that?

My favorite time of the day during spring and summer: Twilight.

Modern entertainment has not been kind to that word, has it?

 

[Nekron_X]

my original name, rickaay15, was a variance on one my cousin came up with when we were younger...still don't know why i went with it for so long....Nekron_X? well, aside from the _X that i tacked on to it, i ripped it straight out of the main antagonist of the Blackest night series, the embodiment of death, Nekron and the zombie black lanterns that follow him.

 

[Something Amyss]

I misspelled "Doom" and got this. Then ran with it because it has no meaning[footnote]later I found out it's an Italian word but whatever[/footnote]. That's the short version. The long one is this + extra boring unneeded details.

Oddly, I always think of "HoPo"(Hammer-on/Pull-off) when I see your username.

Doctor Who, niyce. and MLP. I think I've seen some RLM and Brian's been in some youtube things I watch.

Its the cringinly awkward thread you started. Some of them are hilarious to laugh at, but for obvious reasons, I can't make it through many of them before I need to stop for the day. And Boom Goes the Dynamite.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Not in the slightest.
I'd say it borderlines on hate-crime, but can one really commit a hate crime against a language?

 

[Descartes2012]

I was hoping that Descartes would win the 2012 United States presidential election,but alas, my hopes were vanquished.
