How Did You Make Up Your Name?

[Pumpkin_Eater]

I played Forum Warz for awhile (stopped at the end of the free content) and the angry jack o' lantern picture was my character's avatar. I kind of got attached to it, so I tried to come up with a name that would let me use a similar picture (this isn't the Forum Warz pic; I got it by googling "angry pumpkin).

 

[The Keeper]

My name is simply a reference to the Thief game series. I always liked the cryptic keepers. I played around with other names like The Trickster and KeeperAnderson, but I ended up going with the one I figured no one else would have. it grew on me.

 

[traceur_]

I am a traceur, simple. Also my avatar is the symbol for parkour. I originally had just traceur(without the underscore) but I registered it with an email for which i forgot the password. And that children, is how i got my underscore.

 

[Raineheart]

Because secretly I am the most depraved of you all.



*Maniacal laughter.*

 

[ultimatechance]

back in the socom days i had a friend named one enemy. He suggested the name one chance, which we both got rid of after we joined a new team. After that i replaced one with ultimate, then voila.

 

[sonicspin]

it's about the only Sonic name that wasn't taken...

 

[MrShrike]

name of my 2cd favorite character from my favorite book trilogy (hungry cities- Phillip Reeve)

 

[Tattaglia]

It was the only last name from the Godfather that wasn't overused and didn't suck. And plus, Bruno Tattaglia is a pimp.

Yay for the pimps!

 

[Bunnymarn]

Well, It was a nickname and I put 'marn' on the end. And to come up with Professor Intellegent, I had to use brain power and irony.

 

[Aleate]

Mine... was just some random connection of letters that I came up with while making up 10 names for my friend. Also... random fact: My username actually means "Ally" in Albanian... and I found that out after I came up with it

 

[Vohn_exel]

I use Vohn Exel everywhere. I came up with it when I was like 10 or so for a video game. I know I used it for Shadows of the Empire but I can't remember when I came up with it earlier then that, though I'm pretty sure I did. I'm using the name for a book I'm writing as well.

about a year ago I found out there was a basketball player named Nick Van Exel,(I am not a sports fan) and I've always wondered if I heard the name when I was ten and didn't register it and it just sounded good later on, lol.

Pretty much, I was trying for a Star Wars sounding name. Vohn sounded different, and then Exel sounded like you would "excel" at things, and that sounded like a Star wars last name...so I went with that, lol.

 

[Galletea]

I mispelled a greek mythological woman by accident when I was 12. I'd already used it in my email address by then so I stuck with it. It's now my moniker for pretty much all my online and artistic endeavours.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

Well, back when I was making my first AIM acount, Red Vs. Blue had just came out. "Caboose" was already taken, so I just slapped "ultra" in front of it, and it stuck.

 

[Machine Gun Man]

My usual online name was already taken and this happened to be the title of the song I was listening to at the time.

 

[Asymptote Angel]

I was taking pre-calc at the time I made the account, and my teacher was a ridiculous woman who was always talking about asymptotes. I wanted something alliterative, and the two words are so incongruous... it just seemed perfect.

 

[Renikor]

Got it from my WoW char, whom I got the name from after a late-night molten core raid.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

it wasn't taken...=/

 

[Mr_spamamam]

i was very drunk one night and was trying to write Mr Spannaman, but it got spelled wrong and i was too pissed up to notice. it started out as my gamer tag for the xbob 360
