Mine is a reference to a character from 'Piled Higher & Deeper' (http://www.phdcomics.com/), a comic discussing the torture of attending grad school.

Slackenerny has been in grad-school over ten years and has a little baby girl. This mirrors my own life in a rather scary way so I thought it was appropriate. :)

My username is a completely meaningless sequence of characters, generated by random number generator.

As luck would have it, it happened to randomly pick my real name.

Well, my first name's Jack. It's a common first name in my family.

And I like Bobby Darin's songs.


In retrospect I probably should have googled the name first before I picked it.

This is the name I have used since 7th grade. It was to be my legal name once I crushed the world in an iron hand of Stalinist domination. Yeah, while most people were getting their first girlfriends, my friends and I plotted world conquest........we were late bloomers!

XBL GamerCard, also PS3 and assorted web things, so I only have to remember one username, and I can usually get this one.

Jammin (my nickname) Oz (cause I'm from Oz) 07 (I created my XBL account in 07).

Deep eh?

I've used this nik for everything since I started gaming and online forums.. claiming ownership would be abit prudent of me.. but it is how most people recognise me =P

I think it was supposed to be my name in elvish?... but I doubt that is accurate. I just like it anyway =)

I picked it for how it sounded.
Hell, I didn't even know what it meant when I came up with it.
It just seemed to roll right off my tongue.

Apparently, it means "Complaint Master".

Mongoose comes from the latin "mangus" meaning "mongoose"... or something like that.

Mercilesmage was taken, my UD mage's name in WoW. Mercilessmage wouldn't fit, too many characters btw.

I like it.

Mine was a nickname given to me from a senior in highschool who called himself Tanooki.

I think mine meant something along the lines of "sadness and bad luck". Suited me at the time, and it stayed with me.
