Where did you get your username?

[TheUnkn0wngamer]

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.

 

[Marter]

I was given it by my sister when we were both really young. It stuck, and I know use it as my online username for everywhere.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I got my username from my brain and a character i sometimes act like when i feel like being weird.

 

[delet]

I tried 'Aby' and that was taken, so I combined Aby - Which was my persona in an old game - and Z - which has become my persona over Live - into this. Now 'Aby_Z' seems to have become my internet forums persona.

 

[Souplex]

It's a reference to the time I suplexed god.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I chose it as my gamertag on Xbox Live because I tend to snipe a lot and I am terribly uncreative.

So uncreative, in fact, that I use this name for just about everything.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I was bored, thinking of names to use on sites or something, and it came to mind after "Skitstone" (Seriously, never even heard of Audioslave until somebody asked me if I was referencing them).

One year later I would use it.

 

[Mr. Google]

well see here my name is Jarred and my thing is that I'm super awesome so i became....jarretheawesome. but the true story is that it was my old AIM account name back when i thought i was a hard ass for calling myself awesome and it was either that or Jarredshere which sounds better everyday...oh welllllll

 

[TerranReaper]

It's a unit from Starcraft 2. Also, I was using the username "Reaper" before knowing about said unit.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

It's a reference to the time I suplexed god.

Quick question, why do you lack a mouth?

Seems like you're wearing stocking over your head or something.

 

[TheStickman]

It's a reference to the time I suplexed god.

Spoiler

Of all the times I've seen people misspell suplex, you were the one that spelled it right.

OT: Mine is from my love of Pivot. (And the search bar)

 

[furnatic]

Furnatic is my fursona's name. Simple as that. Oh what an uncreative bastard am I.

 

[oreopizza47]

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.

Same, it's my name on pretty much everything.

 

[acer840]

Let see, acer840 came from hotmail, I tried acer originally and hotmail said it was being used and offered acer840, I've used it ever since. My steam name akspray came from playing Counter-Strike Source, as all I ever did was spray with the AK.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I've liked D&D dark elves ever since I played Curse of the Azure Bonds (sons a' bitches had the best weapons and armor in the game, and the single toughest enemy type), so all but maybe one of my online names involves drow somehow.

The other half comes from the D&D alignment system.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I don't remember... but it wasn't from the show. I didn't hear about that until after.

 

[S.R.S.]

Wouldn't you agree?

 

[Rakun Man]

I made up a super-hero from a while back. I drew comics. He was a stick figure. (yeah, i'm an artist) His super power? Nothing, it was a comical comic. But he had a pet Raccoon.
Get it: Rakun=Raccoon.
So pronounce it correctly in your head next time.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

Little Miss Potatoes was the nickname for a roleplay character of mine. So I shortened it, and ran it together to make my username.

Pretty simple, ne? I like changing my visible Steam handle all the time though, and my current one is "♉ adiosToreador ♉" which comes from the amazing webcomic Homestuck [http://www.mspaintadventures.com].
