How Did You Make Up Your Name?

[Fuhjem]

My initials are FJM. If you pronounce FJM as a single word, it sounds like Fuhjem.

 

[lonny2x4x5]

my xbox name is pb and j mans, which i came up with when i was eating, well, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

 

[Senor Smoke21]

Senor Smoke is Electric 6's best album and I think it makes a good name. My birthday is on the 21st so that's were that comes from.

[Stegofreak]

I like dinosaurs and my favourite is the stegosaurus thus I'm a Stego-freak.

 

[Jonny The Kay]

My first name is Jon and my last initial is K so my language arts teacher called me "Jonny The K" all year long and the name kinda stuck. I added the "ay" at the end because i felt like it.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

It's a Fleetwood Mac song.

 

[reesepuffcereal]

i just thought it would be funny to have that name

 

[Tesgami]

Best explanation? Probably because it sounds good. You know, the roll-off-your-tongue effect. Plus it's the first name of a character I'm writing with...

*insert embarrassment here*

 

[Sparrow]

I like Sparrows. And, considering my Live account is my GamerTAG I just roped the two together.

Uncreativity FTW.

 

[mythbuster343]

I just got finished watching "mythbusters" for my AIM. the 343 is just a random number. since then I've been using mythbuster343 for everything. Including Youtube and PSN

 

[AdmiralMemo]

9th grade Spanish class.
Teacher had us all come up with Spanish nicknames to use in the class to get us acquainted with the language. I wanted Miguel, because my name's Michael. However, Micah Farmer comes before Michael Moore when alphabetizing last names, and he got Miguel. The teacher gave me one more day to come up with a name. I had it down to Caesar and Memo (which is a nickname for Guillermo), so I chose the second one because it started with M.
There's a guy who still calls me Memo to this day.

When I got online, I figured Memo would be a good screen name. However, it was usually taken already. So I went with MrMemo most of the time. (Remnants of those days are still seen in my AIM screen name and NeoPets username.)

I got on a chat room called United Empire of Planets and was Mr. Memo for a long while. However, I decided I needed something more Trekish for my name, and Admiral had the M and R in it in the same order, so I recolored my new name, Admiral Memo, to have the M R and Memo to be the same colors as the first version of my nick.

After that, it stuck and I've been using it everywhere.

 

[DoomDispenser]

A cheat from the first Age of Empires game (PHOTON MAN) which gave you a nuclear trooper. It just got catchy, so... yeah.

I then randomly added the number 62 on the end.

People who HAVE played AoE with cheats call me E=MC2 TROOPER, since that was a cheat for a very similar unit.

Curse you, making me all nostalgic. Damn that was a good game. What was that car with the rocket launcher, Big Daddy? My memory escapes me.

Anyway, my high school chemistry teacher a few years back (possibly the coolest teacher ever) was a good friend of mine. My friends and I would always bring my Xbox to school and he would play Halo and such with us. My name for games was always "Doom Dude". His favorite name was Pain Dispenser, always yelling that he would "dispense some pain". He has recently passed away, so I have since then altered my user names in his memory.

That's a very personal origin of a username. How... cute

Innit?

 

[Kedcom]

KED is part of my surname and COM is from the X-COM organisation in UFO Enemy Unknown.

 

[Fenring]

I read Dune.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Because it's obvious. That's how.

 

[NeoAC]

Neo, because my friend started calling me that after a radio DJ said my last name was Anderson on the air + AC, an homage to my first ever online moniker (AirCanada18, after Vince Carter) = NeoAC

Pretty easy when explained with math, although I still hate math.

 

[SquirrelPants]

Back on the PS2, I played Battlefield 2: Modern Warfare online. Well, to do that, you need to make an account with EA. I had no names that weren't already taken, so I put the next thing I thought of, "Crazzeeninja".
The name did stick, but it mostly just worked because I was on a forum called "Ninjas and Pirates" at the time. I eventually evolved from a simple internet user and became rather intelligent and good at spelling with help from the extremely intelligent people on NaP, but the name Crazzeeninja and the nickname "Crazzee" just stuck with me.
So now I'm Crazzee Abnormal, an ambassador from Abnormality. =D
Yes, I realize this story is idiotic, but that's okay.

 

[TheRandomHobo]

I took mine from a character from a flash video I saw 2 years back.

 

[Motti]

My real names tom. Tom backwards is mot, hence motti. Also admiral motti is a character in star wars (the one that gets choked by darth vader for having a lack of faith).
