On my dad's side of the family, the males all refer to one another as "Stammer".
As an odd result of that, we all got numbers. My dad being Stammer3 and me being Stammer6. So on a lot of forums, games, and web sites I'm either known as "Stammer" or "Stammer6". Though when I made my account on The Escapist, I wasn't at the point where I tacked the "6" onto the end of it so that's why it's just "Stammer".
Also as a weird coincidence I have a stuttering speech impediment so in a sense I do stammer a lot. haha

He looks like that.
I am named after him because, who wouldn't want to be?

Mine is geeky, to say the least.
Basically, it's what is known (well, known to some) in Sweden as LARP-Quenya. That is to say, a version of Tolkiens Quenya, simplified so that one might learn it easily enough to speak when LARPing. For my first LARP, I played a bodyguard elf, so I choose the name Varyaraco, loosely "the guardian wolf". Which I then shorten to Varya (Guardian.
I like it because quite a few of my friends know me by that name since I've only met them when LARPing, it has a nice ring to it, and it's fairly unique so on most sites I can use it without having to add X_x or 666 to make it work.

I liked Pirates at the time, and thought it was a bit of a conundrum. You know, like saying Seargant Soldier.
It's just meant to be kind of wierd.

Xaio is a mixed-up version of the chinese "Xiao" (meaning Short/Small).
When I was young I figured the mixed up version would mean "large" and used it since i was almost 60 cm higher that the rest in my grade.
The "30" part? Xaio was already taken on runescape...

Doesn't really mean anything. I have a very common Norwegian surname, so I took that and replaced a few letters, added a few letters, and here we are.
I use it in a lot of games where you can choose your gender because the "-ko" suffix is feminine in Japanese (I started out with JRPGs, as that probably implies).

It's the codename the producers of "Lost" used for the....I believe the 4th season finale. Please don't ask how I know that.
It's a name I came up with on the spur of the moment many, many years ago now... damn I feel old.
Jon is obviously a shortening of my first name. Proverbial really came from whenever people use a popular saying and say something like "I'm sitting on the proverbial fence," which implies that the fence is in fact not real but a figure of speech and also that it has become an object of common reference and/or the source of a proverb.
So I guess my name literally means that I am well known and important enough to be the subject of at least one proverb, which in itself is ironic because I keep myself to myself. So yeah, enjoy your useless fact.

It's a crack at the adventurer trope in MMOs and the like. You may think that you mean something to that community you just saved from marauding orcs, but really you're just another nameless face to them. I'm adventurer #2,626. The number is my favorite number twice, side by side.
I am wonderbread because I am a very white guy, and 9000 because my whiteness level is over 9000.
