Basically, I don't like numbers at the end of my username, it annoys me, and I don't like having to play arouns with spelling because a given name is already in use, so there went anything common. So, I made up a name that looks like a word, and is therefore easy to remember, but means nothing, and is thus unique and won't be taken already or require numbers.

I will never tell. No. Never.

I will never say my name to any of you.

Weeellllll...When I first started playing on my cousins' Xbox, I created a temporary profile named after the Iron Man villain Crimson Dynamo, partially because I kinda liked the way he looked, but it was mostly because it was the coolest sounding name I could think of at that moment. However, I guess that profile had some interactions with Xbox Live, which meant that when I got an Xbox of my own I couldn't create a profile under the same name, so I did the most creatively bankrupt thing I could do at that moment and changed it to Crimson Dynamite. I didn't like the way it sounded, so I then changed the Crimson to Envy because Envy was a shade of green (my favorite color) that sounded more dramatic than just saying green (altough upon reflection, I guess I could've gone with Jade or Emerald, but Envy is shorter than Emerald, and it sounds better than Jade Dynamite, at least in my mind).

After that, the Dynamite in my username seemed unnecessary since I'm not particularly explosive or dangerous, and the symbol stuck in my mind (which you see as my avatar) looked like a mix between a compass rose and a shuriken, I got to thinking: "Compass roses and shurikens are kind of circular, and so is the letter 'o'. Hmm...is there a cooler sounding word for 'o'? Maybe one that's in another language? Perhaps Greek?" So, through my own incredibly warped, bizarro-world logic, I came to the name: ENVY OMICRON!

My user name stems from the fact that I love Oh! My Goddess, and when I first went to create an account for a website it was taken so I added 98 at the end. I have since kept it to this day, go ahead Google me.

The proud result of a chronic lack of imagination and the anxiety of staring blankly at a forum registration form for 10 minutes.

I guess my name could suggest being connected to life support machine ie. the internet/gaming but when I originally came up with it was just because I needed something as my username.

Oh yay, it's *this* thread again :3

OT: I had a phase where I thought of a bunch of fantasy names like locations, characters, enemies, etc. And I came up with Aetheora. I liked it best, and I've used it for most online stuff ever since. Works for me, and I love it~

My Xbox screen name is "greenphalcon". I needed a name for WoW. I started throwing various combinations of those words through various translators until one or more sounded good. Eventually "Crudus"(it is where we get the word "crude") came out of the Latin translator. It sounded good so i have been rolling with it since.

I was actually thinking the same thing. The "why did you choose your avatar" thread should crop up in a few days.

It's pretty simple.
Karma is my dog's name.
93 is the year I was born.
08 is the year I graduated high school

I'm not good with usernames (or names really, pray I never have to name a kid) so I just came up with a bunch of stuff about me and stuffed it into a username.
