I was eight, couldn't think of a name and was watching a program on farms at the time. I believe I was annoyed that there wasn't a stile for dogs, but there was for horses.
Bish bash bosh, i have a username that gets banned from sites before the mods ask me what it means.
Jauffre because it's similar to my own name and Oblivion jokes (and making fun of how ridiculous the AI and everything was) were a sort of meme between me and my friends at the time.
Because it is short, to the point, and you know who you are talking to?
It seems I lack an origin story to par with other members. I am open to reinterpretations of my origin story.
When Zeus turned his goodies into a fruit bearing tree two skin cells fell off and became fish. These fish got bored and ordered a computer in the 2000?s (as you count them). Now they grace this forum with wisdom and a touch of the gods.
my regular name it,s a "deault" username for me until it turned into RetroBoy (I picked it up when I got interested in older games and it stuck with me) and later QuatroDash (from a picture of Rainbow Dash cosplaying as Quatro Bajeena from Zeta Gundam)
I suck at making up usernames, so instead of going for something lame like "Shadowmaster" or "l33tzor", I tried to be creative, and I took a look at the items on my desk, picked the first letter out of 6 of them and the result was "ONIAPL" so I went for it.
Later on I realized that now everyone thinks I am polish, but you can't always win.
I was playing Pokemon and when it asked for my name I once put "Bojack" (probably reminiscent of when I used to watch Dragonball Z) and it was one short of the character limit so I mashed the d-pad and hit A, the letter was x.
Not a glamorous story but what were you expecting?
I usually call myself "MeshFeet" now because Killing Floor kept naming me "Fresh Meat" whenever I had connection problems and had to rejoin a game, so I switched the first letters of the words around and that made "Mresh Feat"... but yeah MeshFeet seemed like the best way to go from there.
Well, I created this account specifically to troll someone (assuming I would be immediately banned, but then I wasn't--and he was--so I stuck around), so I didn't want to use any of my usual selection of usernames. So I used a stupid joke name I'd come up with, because I wanted to get "under his skin" as it were.
Because Sergei Korolev was the best rocket designer and space-technology pioneer who ever lived and anyone who thinks that Braun was better can suck it!
Fact: Korolev was awesome and had a leather jacket which made him look like the Fonz
Fact: Braun used concentration camp slave labour to build V2s - AND HE KNEW ABOUT IT.
Korolev was a genius, a pioneer and even if he was a communist he was a great person and it's a damn damn damn damn damn shame that few people remember The Chief Designer.
Ben is nowhere near to my real name. It has still long served as a kind of alter ego nickname. Not only Ben, but always Ben Bazooka, which I came up with nearly 10 years ago. I wanted to somehow evolve it and changed it here to benzooka. This is now, and has been for some time, the only place where I use the ben bazooka / benzooka nickname.
Ultro's is my favorite villain in all of Final Fantasy and I feel that if I became a villain I'd be him. The name is a reference to what he asks Relm to call him before she kicks his ass.
My name's originally derived from my best friend Joseph, when I made a joke about him being the Pie in human form and calling him "JoJo". We soon together decided to make this into an online joke religion, however he wasn't happy about himself being the Pie so instead I became "the JoJo". We worked a lot on that religion at the time and so I became used to using that name online along with "Deathunter", a cool name one of friends in middle school bestowed upon me while playing a game of Assassins.
Around 2007 or 2008 when I signed up for YouTube, I found that the name Deathunter was already taken. I didn't like adding numbers to a name, so instead I had the idea of combining my two online names into one: "JoJoDeathunter". I can't actually remember the name I used to sign up to on this site but within about 50 posts I switched it to JoJoDeathunter, which until recently was my standard name online.
Recently however, I came to turn against the Deathunter half of my name, I felt my name was too long, difficult to spell and I didn't like having the word "death" in my name. Thus just this month I asked the staff about a one year amnesty for name changes since I'd already used mine up, the idea was rejected but Nasrin kindly bestowed upon me the username I wished for "JoJo". On sites where that is already taken, I currently use "Mr JoJo" since it doesn't distract from the JoJo part.
We must go deeper.
I believe it would be quite the story.
Anyway, onto mine:
Being the god-like sex machine that i am, i felt that i needed a fitting m=name for someone of my stature. I mean, not any old name will do for me, maybe for you peasants, but not for me.
At that time and indeed all the times after and mostly before that, i was rather fond of a comedy duo by the name of Mitchell and Webb.
Now, this is where things get interesting.
I received news of a lost holy sketch of theirs, a sketch so powerful it had been reported to give those who listened to it god-like powers.
I traveled to Tibet, where i meditated on this for many years, finally, a vision came to me. Following my vision to the location of this sketch, and several dragon battles and an ancient demon later, voila!
I had thought of my username back when I was almost always playing games on Miniclip.com. I didn't feel like using my real name when posting my score one day and the name Fijiman popped into my head so I used it. Of course, I stopped visiting Miniclip after a while and I didn't resurrect the name until I started posting comments on some of the various web comics I read and when I (finally) decided to create an account here I just stuck with it.
At the time I was playing Castlevania: Symphony of the night and I was stumped for a username so I decided on Alucard followed by my date of birth. Looking back, I wish I had chosen a more feminine username, but I guess it can't really be helped.
Ahh, a repeat of one of the very first threads I commented on. How nostalgic. :3 And to show my apathy has not budged in the course of over a year, I'm just going to copy my answer from back then:

Verbose rant ahead: My username is a bit of misnomer. An ostrich is a creature known to be increadibly thick, so I'm not indicating the creature itself is omniscient but rather implying encompassing onlookers have erroneously labelled it as such (lets say ostriches can talk for the sake of this rant). It's a jab at those who see profundity in simplistic, vague or otherwise arbritiry writing/logic. I kind of developed this attitude while studying English at school, especially when looking at poetry where every word would have to be meticulously analysed for some kind of deeper meaning. It wasn't that I felt the authors were inarticulate (not all of them anyway), but I just felt things were getting a bit ridiculous when we were looking at the significence of words that were clearly only used as connectives. I'm also rather fond of alliteration.
