Well, why did you pick your username?

[irregardless]

It always bothered me how people say non-words and not even realize it. The one that bothered me the most was irregardless, a single word that is a double negative. I go around correcting people's grammar all the time (don't judge me) and nobody had taken the name yet, so I thought it was appropriate. I am also one of the many people out there known to dabble in sarcasm.

 

[Endersgate1321]

Enders Game was my fovorite book when I was a kid and in the book a famous line is that the enemies gate is down so Endersgate1321 was born.

 

[Weealzabob]

I failed miserably at writing Chuck Norris backwards

I'm sorry that you misspelt your name dude, but you gave me a good wee chuckle at your story.

On Topic. Well mine is nickname of mine, which in fact a bastardized version of two other nicknames I used to have, Wee Man and Ally Bob. (Ally is an appreviated version of my first name, and I don't know where Bob came from) Which where mashed together, and then made to rhyme with Beelzebub.

It's okay, I even kept the name. I find it funny

 

[Nuuu]

It used to be Pckls, i changed it to this when the Escapist was being attacked by Lulsec. Now i can't change it back.

 

[DoPo]

Sandokan is the name of a really old tv show about a hippy (according to my parents) and my name is Stan, voila.

I have watched the movies and as I recall (not very clearly) he wasn't a hippy but some cross between Tarzan and Robin hood. If that makes you feel any better.

Me, the short (and less boring story) is that I misspelled "doom" and it came out "dopo". Short, meaningless, unique - I liked it and rolled with it.

Later, I found out it's an actual word in Italian (I think) but whatever.

 

[Alssadar]

My name is a spawn of my name (Alex) and Tassadar from Starcraft.
This is was mirrored off my brother who did the same, except with Zeratul.
And those were the names of our first WoW characters, now lying asleep in some forgotten realm of the internet.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Aaaah, this story again, huh?

Back in high school I went by Absoldragon or Mad Dragon in the few online games I played with my friends.

Then, in my last year, I was starting to find the internet more interesting, and I wanted to come up with a more cool name, one that felt fresh and untainted by my terrible high school memories.

So, in a french class, the teacher handed out one of those "hidden word" crossword things. And I looked down and saw the letters "A, E, G, S, I, X". And then I went "waaaait...if I drop the S....I get Aegix...That's kinda badass!". And then I added the Drakan at the end because of my love for dragons.

And that's how I came to be known as Aegix Drakan.

 

[Fidelias]

Favorite grey-area character in a book-series I've read.

For some reason, I've got a great imagination when it comes to almost everything, except picking names. Sometimes I'll try to think up a full name for my Skyrim or Kotor character, and it'll take me an hour before I finally give up...

But yeah, one of my favorite characters.

 

[Carl The Manicorn]

My sister called me "Ducky" when I was little and I had to create a username. She was watching Back to the Future and called me ducky mcfly. I have used it ever since on every site I go to.

As for the 99, I love that number. 9 is just a fucking cool number.

 

[Gekford]

mine is a nick name i picked up during my time with the army. my normal choice would of been mythtech cos i think it sounds cool but i cannot for the life of me remember the password so gekford it is

 

[somonels]

I didn't pick mine, I stole mine.

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

For some reason I feel I should post this...

...because I'm certain we've had threads like this before several times.

Anyways...

Back when I was in college, I was the go-to guy for all things video game tips and tricks since there was no internet back then and no GameFAQs and the like. I was called "Gamemaster" by the guys in my dorm as a result. It was also during college that I was working on a weird idea for a paper-and-pencil RPG where you can role play a video game.

When I started working at a web design company, a coworker of mine who was a contributor of the gone but not forgotten Web Site 9 introduced me to MiSTings and by proxy fanfiction in general. I decided to write the backstory to my RPG idea as a fanfic, and...I became something of a net celebrity as a result.

The fic was called "Heroes of Arcadia - The Gamemaster's Legacy", and since then I've been called GamemasterAnthony by my colleges since. (Read the fic, and you'll see why.) I'm actually working on a reboot of my fic series as we speak.

 

[Ashadowpie]

Ashadowpie, has a nice ring to it i think anyways

 

[C F]

'Twas my old (and still current should I decide to play again) Runescape username.
Just kind of stuck with me as an internet alias ever since.

A diablo 2 mini boss that I thought sounded cool

[CrazyGirl17]

...No idea, I just picked something random.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

My family has been calling me 'Peanut' since I was born, and I even have friends that do too.

Most of my usernames have either 'Pnut' or 'Peanut' in them. I usually just but a word in front of it. 'Brutal Peanut', 'Astute Peanut', 'Lovely PNut'; stuff like that.

 

[Surpheal]

it is the name of the symbol I use for my avatar

 

[ChadSexington]

Simple, it's the coolest name ever. If I had a crappy real name (I don't) and I was considering changing my name I would probably change it to this so I could pretend to be offended if people asked whether or not I made it up.
