Mine is from an inside joke from around 8 years ago. Most people think it's a reference to something else though.

I never really got into the whole "using the internet thing" until my friends turned me onto Runescape... get the booing out of the way now. But, seeing as I didn't understand the laws of internet land for that very reason, I had no idea there was a character limit for usernames. My theory before I knew was to come up with the most random thing I could possibly think of for my username and password, so I just started listing words. When I realized that I had to shorten it, I just kinda picked out the less popular-in-my-mind ones, and oreopizza47 is what remained (since pass had to have numbers and letters, I figured username should too). Thanks for listening to my life story.
Thanks for posting it :)

OT: My username comes form an amazing book series, the Crossroads Trilogy by Nick O'donohoe, it is the name of the Griffin. I personally love the character to death so I had to use it. It's turning into my online persona, and I like it.

A nickname my freind gave me once. The 85 came from a Runescape account back in the day. So, now I use it quite often :D

Loor came from the Pendragon book series. A friend had been reading them and started calling me Loor because both the character in the book and myself had the habit of solving all of our problems with violence. Later in life I hit the fanfiction scene and wrote a few Jak and Daxter stories (Theres the Elf part) with an incredible focus on the fun things that could be done with dark eco. Another few weeks down the road I got a DA account, and I became LoorTheDarkElf both there, here, and everywhere else on the interwebs.

I needed a new user name and I was drunk and doing particularly poorly in a game of counter-strike. Somehow the word eclectic seems like it ought to be paird with one like dreck. Later, when I got my Xbox 360 and was forced to make a profile, it was more or less set in stone.

My friend gave me the name after I had it spelled a different way. He gave me EcksTeaSea.

From a German language history book when I was researching the political setup in the Holy Roman Empire, it referred to the Habsburg dynasty with the term 'erbkaiser' (hereditary emperor) after they had gotten the Imperial Crown and never lost it again.

As for why I use it: it was the only name out of ~20 I tried on PSN that was still free, and did not include numbers. I'm gradually moving all my online nicks to this one now, previously I used my first name or a variant thereof.

Went to a public restroom one day, saw some graffiti on the wall. A really cool graffiti artist put "density" on the wall in cool letters, and I loved it XD

I put the e2 because it's a community I'm apart of right now, and density was taken.

I've seen a lot of strange and interesting usernames so where did you get the idea for it?
I got mine because I could never think of a good name, since one my first names was SPLAZZA.
I mean WTF was I smoking when I thought of that so I didn't know any good names so Unkn0wn soon came to mind. The "gamer" part came later if you're wondering.
My name is Walter.

I was bestowed with a pretty sash, which signifies Lordhood.

Hence, Lord Walter.

Quite simple really, I'm from Newfoundland hence the Newfie part, and I'm female, so Newfiegirl it is. My other main tag is Sexyeyes, which was given to me by my husband :)

Well I like the sound of the name Rex, and my surname begins with B, so I altered the spelling of Rex - in a highly uncreative manner - and added the B.

Thus, we have this contraption.

Used to go by a different moniker around the web - though not here - based on a skater I created in THPS2. But that's a story for a different time. And he wore orange pants.

Did I mention at the start of the thread that my name kinda stuck in most other things like Steam, Xbox LIVE, PSN, XFire etc etc etc and most gaming conversation.

I was reading warcraft lore one day (NOT WoW related). I crossed a section regarding names, and it sought of caught my interest. So, being inspired by names like Reghar and Grommash, I created a username for all my apllications.
