Your Alias' Birth

[black lincon]

Stormcaller, go listen to "Power of the Horde" by LVL80ETC, for those of you who still don't get it it comes from the lines "STORM! black clouds fill the sky!" and "Thunder beckons and I heed the call"

I feel ashamed that I can recite several lines after the "STORM" line.

To the point My name originated from a bad joke about Mary Tod's illegitimate son, however it eventually simply became funny to see people shorten my name as "black" which I am most certainly not.

 

[Krakyn]

I used to play a text based MMORPG call Dark Grimoire, and there was a level designing contest (I only got second, bah). I designed a shipwreck filled with giant crabs, undead sailors, and the final boss was a that famous tentacled monster of the deep, the krakyn. Since then, I've roleplayed as the krakyn on many occasions on other RPGs, spreading the tentacle-y love to previously un-tentacled denizens of the interwebs.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I was totally at this party and everyone was all like "PANTS OFF DANCE OFF PEOPLE!". And thus one of the best parties Ive ever been to, lives through my name.

 

[RheynbowDash]

i call myself Link, but im a Link from a parallel universe where i dont save the world, but sit on my arse all day and post non-sensical rants on a website mostly populated with people from Great Brittan.

 

[[Gavo]]

A comic called Foxtrot has a nerdy character named Jason who receives a game called Zeldakong 64 on several occasions. I thought it would be a suitable online name.

I love Foxtrot. I've got every anthology.

Anyways, mine is a mix of my elementary/middle school nickname, Gavo, and surrounded by [adult swim] brackets. I don't know why...

 

[Citrus]

I saw this lime/orange flavored fruit drink called "Lemon-Lime Orange Twist" and I said to myself, "Wow, even I could think of a better name than that." So I did, and later that day when I made my gamertag, I used it.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

My most commonly used alias is "Titillandus", or "Titalandus"(most censoring systems see the former as a swear). Basicly, it means "to tickle" in latin.
Why do I use it? Well, you see, I like to think I'm funny...

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Average Joe - the old term meaning just an ordinary guy..

Well my name is Joe. So I figured AverageJoe suits me well. =)

 

[chunkydude84]

Well, not so much originality on my end. Physical shape + year of birth = username.

 

[zen5887]

Average Joe - the old term meaning just an ordinary guy..

Well my name is Joe. So I figured AverageJoe suits me well. =)

The army of Joe continues to grow! Ohh no!

Hehe.. Rhyming.

Zen was born many many years ago. I was 12 and I liked Samurai and stuff. Since then its just stuck. I can't remember where the 5887 came from.

Recently, Zen5887 has started to shift towards Zenn. I played a ninja in dnd called Zenn (who died, painfully). I kinda like the double N, a new twist on an old thing I guess.

I have not come up with a last name for Zenn yet. I'll get there.

 

[theklng]

suffice to say it is a pun. am i thinking or am i theklng?

 

[Spartan Bannana]

I've told this story too many times: But I was playing Halo 2 with a friend once, my Spartan was Yellow. And so he started muttering: "Where are you Spartan Banana"
The extra N was a typo at first, but it became a trademark later.

 

[Iron Mal]

I was turned to steel in the great magnetic field, when I travelled time for the future of mankind.

Iron Mal is a shortened version of my XBL gamertag (Iron Mal 777) which is a mixture of my name (Mal) my favorite super hero (Iron Man) and my lucky number (777).

The treble 7 is also derived from the fact that I'm the 7th child of the 7th child of the 7th child (which in theory makes me the chosen one destined to be mankind's saviour and lead us to the promised land).

 

[Goldbling]

Well it's just my alias, what I'm known by, Used it once and I got hooked

 

[Metalchair]

i was playing Wolfenstein back in the day and couldn think of a screen name, so i looked around and saw that i was sitting on a metal folding chair so i set up with metalchair, and liked it

 

[Ramthundar]

Well, I made my alias when I was still in my Nerdy Phase. I wanted a name that was medivial, and that sounded like my own (not very creative in the originality). So i just added some letters to my last name and Voila! Ramthundar.

 

[GyroCaptain]

I got my current alias on the forum for the webcomic Sheldon [http://sheldoncomics.com] and it was the first time I actually had one I liked more than a few minutes. Very fickle I am, hmm. It's from The Road Warrior, because I figure myself to be the kind of person who would not only have a working flying machine after the holocaust, but operate it with a pet snake on hand and wearing goggles, helmet, and longjohns. Gyro as a sandwich can be pronounced "hero", so there's another good reason.

Hunde Des Krieg, Dogs Of War. Thought it was Dog of War but whatever...
Heard it on The Postman, and translated it to German, cuz it sounds cool and Dog of war was taken on Live.

The genitive form tends to be really formal and awkward in modern German, and that's actually closer to "dogs of THE war", not to mention I have the niggling feeling Hunde should become Hunden in the genitive, but I won't tell. Wait, crap, I did. *makes obeisance and pleads forgiveness*

*Hund von Krieg, cough, cough

 

[Booze Zombie]

Zombies are awesome and booze is awesome, but I hate that zombies eat brains and that booze can kill you... so I made a zombie that drinks booze as opposed to eating brains, he's already dead so, what the hell, right?

And so Booze Zombie was born, grew up, died, got reanimated and now spends his days shuffling between bars and goth nightclubs.
