Well, why did you pick your username?

[The .50 Caliber Cow]

I assure you there is a reason behind mine. It's just...

A secret...

[sub][sub]Moo! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9iIgQN5uZE][/sub][/sub]

 

[mParadox]

A paradox is a logical statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which (if true) defies logic or reason, similar to circular reasoning.

Well, Paradox! I love that word. Also, it suits my style of posting.

ANYMONKEY, the 'm' itself, was a random placement. Plus, mPara, sounds Emparah, which is close to Emperor. >.> Which makes it a brilliant confectionery of delight.

 

[requisitename]

Name (required):

or some variation on that makes me want to give them a requisite name. Pretty simple, actually.

 

[Kahldris71]

Cookie to whomever figures out what book series mine is from.

Captcha, exhortation. orsshe what the fudgepacket.

 

[manic_depressive13]

I'm not even bipolar. I just thought it sounded funny.

 

[lacktheknack]

It's my autobiography, accurately describing my performance in anything I do.

 

[Nouw]

Add a u to Now and you have a unique name . Oh how silly I was a few years ago.

 

[Kermi]

It's my nickname from high school.

 

[Luftwaffles]

Coz...well actually i stole this from a friend.

we were watching the Simpsons and Luftwaffles came up

Hehehehe we said, it would make a good gamertag he said and by god it does.

I also like planes.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

5 is my favorite number. I added it even though it was unnecessary

Lin is the first half of my first name, Red is the first half of my last name.

It rolls off the tongue pretty nicely... Well I think so anyway.

 

[Suicidejim]

Suicidejim was a name I gave to one of the guys on my team from 'Worms,' who just used various kamikaze techniques. I reused the name again later for a stick figure who wore a top hat and whose escapades were created during the times I should have been paying attention in maths. Afterwards, i just got into the habit of using it as a username, because nothing else sprung to mind, and I've always enjoyed the sound of it. I mean, suicide, although an awful thing, is a very nice word to say. It flows so well. The 'Jim' at the end just provides a nice little contrast at the end, as it's shorter and sharper.

Recently, however, it's become a little bit of a nuisance, since I have people A) assuming I'm suicidal, which is very rarely true and B) that my name is Jim. It is not Jim.

 

[staika]

Oh sweet time to bore you all with a story. So why don't you take a seat while Mr staika tells you a tale of long ago.

You see as a young boy I sometimes talked or at least attempted to talk to my dad in German. And so one day I played a trick on my younger brother and completely fooled him and my dad called him a "steiger" (or however you spell it) which is German for sucker or so I am told. What happened is that I misheard my dad (which happens much more than I'd like but I do make jokes out of it) and I thought he said "staika" and I liked the sound of it so it became my username for pretty much everything. I did discover that staika is an actual word and its a tent, and some other people sometimes steal it on other areas which kind of irritates me

 

[Zio_IV]

Been using this handle for just about everything since 2001.

Can't remember the exact details why. I think Zio had to do with naming after the lightning-based attacks from the Shin Megami Tensei games.
As for the 4 (it's supposed to be roman numerals), I think it's because I had recently found out about 4 being the "number of death" over in Japan and thought it was the coolest thing since frozen pizza, being young and all back then.

Whatever the reasons, Zio IV was the result and I'm certainly keeping with it.

 

[Ectoplasmicz]

I...don't even know to be honest. Me and my friend both created these similar names back a few years ago. The reason...no clue ._.

 

[Craorach]

It's one of the many names I use online, for characters and the like, this one means Blood in Gaelic.

 

[Aidinthel]

Completely unimaginative, but I used an online username generator.

Is the fact that mine is from WoW's random name generator more or less imaginative?

Anyway, I started playing WoW before I really did anything on the internet so I hit the random name button until it gave me something I liked. I then proceeded to use it for everything , because I have no imagination. I don't even play the game anymore, but I haven't gained much imagination in the meantime and one random name is as good as another, really.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Because I'm a big fan of Red vs Blue.

Plus, it's catchy and has a "ring" to it.

[sub][sub][sub]The "X" is only there because "Chupathingy" was already taken [/sub][/sub][/sub]

 

[Thaluikhain]

Way back when GW used to be cool, I created the name from "Thalui" eldar/elf for hatred or vengeance and "Khaine", the Bloody-Handed God of Murder. The "e" was dropped because the Mordheim elf special character from the original book has a sword name the Hand of Khaine or somesuch, and that didn't have the "e", so I assumed it to be a grammatical thing.

But, yeah, sorta stuck with it now that GW gave up and dumbed down.

[small]As an aside, at the old BL forum, people used to think I might be Yahtzee, because surely nobody else would speak negatively of their products?[/small]
