Username Origins

[Ix Rebound]

Has anyone read "Ice Station" by Matthew Reilly?
The guy in the book who has the callsign "Rebound" got it because of the same reason I did
.......and its not a very good reason

and its "Ix" because thats just the little Xbox 360 online group that i play in with my friends

 

[Entitled]

I find it ridiculous when people try to insult me by calling me entitled. So I reclaimed the word.

 

[snagli]

I have no idea. Snagli is just something random that popped into my head when I had to pick a username for the first time. I've used others that made more sense, but in the end I always use Snagli.

One of these days, I'll pick a username that is actually connected to me.

 

[Frontastic]

It came from one of those many long afternoons in school where you're bored, tired and just talking nonsense with a friend. I can't remember how exactly it came about but it was during a talk about Stargate and how ceaselessly funny I found the situation with O' Neill when he downloaded the ancient database into his head and would complain of "fron-aches". It's now my default username for most things.

 

[DeadXV]

Edit: Thought i was using a different user name.

I made mine up, originally it was DeadX cause it sounded cool and some where along the way i added the V (The XV are roman numerals by the by)

 

[Guffe]

It's a shortening from my lastname.
Or a well... sort of... well fuck this, it's a modified shorted version of my real lastname

 

[Starik20X6]

Username: My 'IRL' nickname and a Homestar Runner reference, specifically to Stinkoman 20X6, the in-universe parody of all things anime.

Avatar: Favourite playable class in LEGO Heroica, the Ranger.

[hr]

I was really into LEGO

the whole lego thing doesn't hold much relevance to me anymore

 

[Fractral]

Well, originally I went by 'Virualkid', which was my XBL nickname. But then I realised that people were preconcieving me as a 12 year old computer obsessed kid (to be fair, when I made it, I was a 12 year old computer obsessed kid) so I changed to Fractral, a mis-spelling of Fractal, which is related to my favourite subject, maths.
So a kind of brand name change, if you like.

 

[T0BB0]

Created about 10 years ago, playing an online social thing called Habbo Hotel. This was the first time I ever created an online account, my parents were slow on the whole "internet sensation". Lacking creativity at the time, I simply transposed the first two letters of my name onto Habbo and thus, Tobbo. I experimented with other online names since then but this is the only one which stuck. Sometimes this requires zeros to be placed instead of o's in the event that someone else has joined that community/game before me and took the name, or I've forgotten my password and needed to create a new account.

 

[Sajuuk_Khar]

Mine is a title from the game Homeworld 2, not much creativity or back story. My avatar is simply a pic of the woman who received the title in the game.

I used to use Grossemullet, grosse being German for big, and my hairstyle until last year being a foot long mullet... I didn't have any accounts that used an avatar then.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

My name, well, I thought it up one day when I needed a user name for some game loooong ago, and I've been using it pretty well everywhere ever since, just, don't trust the twitter account with this name, it's an imposter, I don't use twitter.

 

[Th37thTrump3t]

The name Th37thtrump3t sprang into existance for three reasons:

1. I was tired of using Halo3rulzer. Me and a friend made it in 7th grade and it started to sound really juvenile.

But then I realised that people were preconcieving me as a 12 year old computer obsessed kid (to be fair, when I made it, I was a 12 year old computer obsessed kid)

(Saw this and it pretty much summed up my first reason perfectly.)

2. In a biblical sense, it marks the end of all things. (I'm not religious in any way, just loved the symbolism in the name.)

3. Avenged Sevenfold named their first album Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. I loved the name.

 

[Varis]

"Haukotus" means "yawn" in finnish. One can assume I was sort of bored at the time of inventing it, I was creating an account for Aion or something and my usual nick was reserved so Haukotus it was. And it stuck.

 

[General Twinkletoes]

It sounds silly is my reasoning.

I just came up with the name General Twinkletoes a few years ago, but I have shorten it to General Twinkle when it can't be full length. There's really no backstory to it :/
I kind of want to get a new name, but General Twinkletoes has stuck, and I can't think of anything else that doesn't sound stupid.

 

[saoirse13]

Saoirsé means freedom in irish its also my name. 13 is a pretty good number for me. To be honest, not much thought went into in. Im a lazy SOB sometimes

 

[MammothBlade]

A blade to kill mammoths? A blade the size of a mammoth? A blade forged from mammoth bones? I don't know, but it sounded good when I was playing Skyrim...

 

[Something Amyss]

It's been my stage name for well over a decade. I didn't like my old usernames, so I started using this instead.

Where does my username come from? Well lets just say that I'm the Alpha of the Alphas and that I intend to be a writer who lives where the weather is terrible so that I can have some inspiration. By exiling myself from society, one could even say that I live in a brave new world.

So...Stephanie Meyers fan? >.>

It's my real name. No real origins there, but it does have a lot of sentimental value to me as a result.

Lucky. I hate my real name. Part of the reason for a stage name.

 

[ChocoFace]

When i created my Judo character in KwonHo (my all-time favourite fighting game), i was stuffing Chocolate in my Face and since i have no real imagination, i put two-and-two together, creating this relatively unique name.

 

[Muspelheim]

I think I was lurking, and saw a thread where I felt I just had to throw an account together, hop in and call out a swine. Muspelheim came to mind, and it had a nice ring to it. And that was it, pretty much.

(Muspelheim = a realm of fire in Norse mythology)

 

[ParanoidEngineer]

Team Fortress 2. Because I'm original, right?
