I made mine a while ago. It was when my account name had already been taken and I tried to think of a new one. I've always been a fan of Mr. T so I made something that was meant to be pronounced as "pop dah foo" as in "pop the fool" but I've heard it been mispronounced so many times.
Steve Dark... well.. because it's my name!
Sometimes I go as "The One Electronic" though, anyone who gets the reference is made of win.

I figured the concept of a Chainsaw Ninja wasn't really original, but it's not too common, either. When I actually drew my character, he actually turned out to be a Soviet Chainsaw-wielding Ninja Santa wearing a Business Suit. I think that's... kind of original?
As for just about every other username, character name, etc. I am very strict about trying to make it as original as possible by taking random last names from different parts of the word and throwing them in a blender. My most used one, Eingzheider, is a success story compared to most of the creations I get, but I usually find a purpose for each and every name I come up with.

Griever is a Guardian Force in Final Fantasy VIII that is idolized by the main character Squall Leonhart. It looks like this:

I don't use mine in games... this is my IM and forum name.
But it sounds cool, and I changed war to worr because I'm just crazy creative like that.

My gaming name is Limpet Drone.... anyone who gets that is also made of win.Steve Dark said:
Umm.. Well being from Alaska I wanted to do something with an animal unique to the area, but seeing as polar bear would make for a long ass name I went with penguin. I figured, hell people get them confused enough, penguins might as well live in Alaska. Thats where the second half comes from. The first bit comes from the fact that I'm also a raver (yes, the glowsticks and techno kind) but that too is a dual edged sword, as raving might also imply a touch of insanity (which I may also have).
So, it wasn´t from the song, I see. And here I was thinking, another Jethro Tull fan had arrived. Now I feel like a fool.Aqualung said:
I was trying to make something oxymoronic, with words that are more than two syllables long. Thank you Microsoft Word Thesaurus!
... I have big feet... Bigfoot was taken so I took the next best step: a robotic Bigfoot, ie Bigfootmech. It's pretty much stuck, but I am using different ones now for the purpose of randomness in games.
my name comes from the time that is played runescape (f2p that is) and my whole name didn't fit so i removed a few letters and then it fit
it's good enough for me but some ppl tend to say my whole name wrong calling me MartinRendrs but it is Martijn (don't try to pronounce it cuz i'm from the Nethterlands so you would get it all wrong)
