Why is your username special and/or how did you think/get it?

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

I could swear we had a thread like this earlier...

Ziadaine. Made it up when I was writing a novel. It was only a few months back that my friend pointed out how immensly simular it is to a Final Fantasy Character. Thankfully there both spelt different.

 

[DiamondJim]

This man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Buchanan_Brady

A coach of mine once called me "Diamond Jim", seeing as how my name is Brady... it fit. It has a nice ring to it.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Mad maniac with an axe firing chainsaw was dreamt up in a split second as I made my profile. I just liked the name.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

My friend and I once decided we owned big secret corperations that ruled the world from the shadows. His was called Dogprint Incorperated, and mine Monkfish Association. And that's where it comes from.

Yes. The Acc. is a failed abbrieviation. Gasp in horror at the laziness and ignorance of myself from more than a year ago.

 

[kemosabi4]

I used to rent an old Shinobi game for the PS2, and my name is very loosely based on a Japanese word said during a cutscene. However, when I began using it as a screen name, it had been so long since I had played the game, the result looked nothing like the actual word. The similarity to the Lone Ranger's nickname is merely a coincidence, as hard as it is to believe.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Ever since I started playing XBL I've always "Jinjo" as part of my name. Banjo-Kazooie is my favourite game and just reminds me of my childhood, a time of peace and innocence. Also everyone loves Jinjo's, pity half the people on live can't say it properly.

 

[Gaderael]

Been using the same username at pretty much every site or forum since I can remember.

"Gader'el ? he who showed the children of the people all the blows of death, who misled Eve, who showed the children of the people [how to make] the instruments of death [such as] the shield, the breastplate, and the sword for warfare, and all [the other] instruments of death to the children of the people" ? 1 Enoch 69:4-12

 

[acturisme]

in the ancient days of the internets, hotmail would only allow 9 characters in the username space. acturisme is a misspelling of Arcturis Mengsk. if you dun know who that is play Starcraft.

Amazing! I spelled "misspelling" correctly on the first try. : )

 

[Neonbob]

I used it on my original Xbox for all the profile names, and it carried into live, into my 360, and now here!
Yaay!
I don't know exactly how I got it, just that I love it and shall use it forever.

 

[Carbonic Penguin]

One of my friends had a short obsession with butane, and so made the name 'Butanic Panda'. When i decided to change my steam name, i thought of that, and made one in a similar vein to his. And so i used the same one for escapist... though i haven't used it anywhere else. I change my name alot, but I think I really like this one a lot!

 

[Sigel]

Sigel is the name of my favorite rune. It stands for "wholeness" and represents the sun. It also stands for success, vitality, and good fortune. It is a very positive rune and lucky to get in a rune cast.

 

[Balaxe]

I came up with it 7 or 8 years ago and it just stuck.

 

[Deadpoolsbrain]

I am a huge deadpool fan and have been one for a while. Brain is an ironic statement since deadpool is crazy. I use this name for everything pretty much.

 

[Delicious]

Why, it's delicious of course.

 

[Finnboghi]

In one of the tutorials in Northland, there's a dude named Finnbogi, who doesn't like his name and wants you to change it.

So I changed it to Finnboghi.

And now I use it for everything.

 

[Calobi]

My friend's dad called me Obi Wan Calobi one time and it stuck. Now that, or some offshoot of it, is my name most places.

Because I'm blind. A fact that seems to greatly amuse the people on this forum sometimes.

Woah, you're really blind? Never knew that. *Adds this fact to his list of facts about fellow Escapists*

 

[wasalp]

my name is simply wasa with my initials at the end...the only reason the name stuck with me is that I am 100% assured the no one else but me will be using it. I made it up way back when I was like 11-12

 

[War Penguin]

War Penguin is a name of a website I'm trying too make. It was going to feature penguins with guns fighting each other but I realized how stupid it really was. Trust me, as great as it looks on paper, it isn't as good in the flesh. I still loved the name, though, and I still plan on making cartoons. (must never give up)

 

[jat112786]

used my name and my birth date
