Explain your usernames

[FPLOON]

It's based off a story I made in middle school that I turned into a radio music-based play with the help of a few friends of mine back then... The full title was "FPLOON: The Revolution"...

Then, in high school, I tried to convert it into an one-act play, but due to the lack of motivation from my theatre group, it did not translate as well as I wanted to...

Now, it's the second username I use for almost anything... (The first being COMPUTEROSIS, my YouTube username, which is also based on a story I made before "FPLOON: The Revolution"...)

 

[Ruedyn]

Last name, first initial...

I AM A GOD OF CREATIVITY!

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

'Fiz' is a nickname that I have from a few of my friends, well, I should say one of many. That one was pretty popular about a few years ago and gets mentioned every now and then with them.

'The Toaster' I got from this little, and I mean like one inch tall and one and half inch wide, plush toaster with an angry face that a friend of mine made for me for my birthday years ago. There's a back story behind it, but I will spare you lovely people the details. It sits on my desk and I was staring at it when I was coming up with the username.

Creative I'm sure.

 

[Kennetic]

My last name is Kennedy and our fun word in Iraq was kinetic so it's a play on that. I like it and it's never taken so that's how I roll.

 

[karloss01]

Mine came from my friends trying give me a nickname as i was left out as it was already short or couldn't change a letter to make it sound cooler (my name being karl), so they added to it.

my friends nicknames being;

James - Jim
Howard - Howi
Johnathan - Jonny
Felix - Fe or Folix
Thomas - Tom or baby nose (his mother's nickname, i have no idea either)

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

You ready for this?
It's a long and bold tale of tragedy and triumph, the kind that make strong men weep and weak men powerful.

Spoiler: If your body is ready...

It's my last name

 

[Spacemonkey430]

Its a cross between my nickname and the username I usually use. Which is my atv, a yamaha Warrior bored and stroked to a 430

 

[Full]

Gotta say, this thread has been super enjoyable to read. For some reason I'm very interested in things like this. Same goes for the avatar thread.

 

[Saulkar]

Mine comes from a random stroke I keys I hit to create my Cellfactor: Revolution username. I normally strike a random set of keys then add letters where needed to create something cool.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Long story short, my parents left me with my grandmother a while back when I was around eight or nine. For about a week, my grandmother proceeded to make just... food that children could never possibly eat. Just weird shit, and no one's ever accused me of being a picky eater.

All there really was that I could stomach was this cereal. Off brand cheerios. I had no books, didn't bring any toys, had no TV. I went temporarily insane for a while, with the only thing I had to look forward to was sneaking into the kitchen to eat this shitty cereal. Hence the name.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Seriously, I can't stand gamertags that are some common word or phrase or popular thing with bunches of random numbers or X's. I wanted a clean gamertag and user name.

D:

OT: It was my first e-mail account some eleven or twelve years ago. Something easy that young-me could remember.

I've briefly considered switching to the name of my primary World of Warcraft character, but there's a certain innocent charm in the current name that I think would be lost in the translation.

Don't worry, your username there is fine, because it has far far fewer random numbers/characters than I've seen.

Example of something typical of what I meant makes me mad is:

XxXCoOlBr04L1F3XxX

With random caps and numbers in place of letters or words. Yes your name is easy to remember and enter. That which I created as an example wouldn't be.

 

[Padwolf]

Mine comes from a mix of two nicknames I had when I was younger, Padfoot (my best friend was Prongs) and Wolfie (named because I am like a wolf in many ways) I tend to use this username everywhere now. It just stuck.

 

[Dr. Cakey]

My username originates in the time before time...

I've been using "Pohaturon" since I was 6, I think. Back then, I was really, I mean really, into lego, and more specifically Bionicle. So, I took my fav bionicle, "pohatu*", and added the first three letters of my name "Ronci" to the end.

*Internet cookie to the first person to show a picture of this fine gentleman.

How many cookies does this net me?

As for my name, a year or so before junior high I kind of organically invented this character called Mr. Cakey, visually based on the Kirby charset from RPGMaker 2000. I basically decided that this was me, that is, my persona or alter-ego or what have you. About a year or two later I upgraded the character to Dr. Cakey. He got his PhD from the Cakeyan Academy, and his degree was in zippo. I believe this was just a made-up nonsense word and was intended to have nothing to do with the brand of cigarette lighters, but you may find it more amusing to imagine a Kirby lookalike who received a doctorate degree in the study of a specific cigarette lighter brand.

 

[Brotha Desmond]

Let me bring you back to a time known as pre-2010. There was a show called LOST. One of my favorite characters was Desmond. Something the character would say a lot is "Brotha". So Brotha Desmond.

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

snippety!

You, kind sir, earned a whole bowl.

enjoy!

 

[Crayven]

Use it in allmost all my games, it amuses me to think of a soldier, pilot or macho guy being named coward.

 

[Not Matt]

My old username was also my full name. So I decided to change it to something that wasn't my name. But what was not my name. What wasn't Matt?

 

[Mocmocman]

Way back when I was young, I went to sign up for Runescape. I couldn't think of a user name, and one of my friend's just came to me. It was something along the lines of Loveyman(Somenumbers). I stole the man part, and to indicate that I stole it I put the word "moc" in front. As I was quite young I didn't have a great understanding of what it meant to mock something, and I've always been a shit speller (Spellcheck I love you). I use it because then I don't have to have numbers in my name.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

I used to roll around here as "Skywolf09", which was born out of a combination of a stupid coversation about Starfox I had with a friend in middle school and my number in an old flight sim virtual squadron I was part of. Eventually I stopped using that, though. Mainly since there are too many Skywolves out there, so it's not unique at all.

"Silky Sky Kitten" started out as a silly nickname given to me by someone on the Escaipst MLP Group. Later on a friend of mine on Steam started calling me "Silky" all the time, and it just stuck. So now I constantly go by that name, since I like it and I've never encountered a single other Silky Sky Kitten at all. Thus, it's a name I like and is one that's unique to me.

 

[Remaiki]

Well... I was once making a fan game for a Japanese bullet hell called Touhou. (This was quite a while back) I needed a name for the extra boss, and I just pulled Remaiki out of nowhere... yeah, I suck at making names.

At any rate, I felt I needed a new username just around this time, so I figured I may as well just use the name for myself as well.
