What does your username mean?

[Shoggoth2588]

I like Lovecraft and the Shoggoth in general, the Shoggoth being a shape-shifting blob kind of monster from his mythos. I figure I can use that to show I'm a fan of Lovecraft but by using a creature who isn't Cthulhu, I stand out as actually having read more than just the Cthulhu mythos. Also, using the Shoggoth moniker would surly justify it when I change my mind on various topics.

2588 is my birth day (February).

 

[Patrick Buck]

It's my name.
I though you could change it.
You might be able too, but I can't be arsed anymore, I'm used to it. I don't mind people calling me by my actual name.

 

[geK0]

Just a misspelling of gecko, the k is capitalized to emphasize the "K0".... yea lame, I know.

 

[AgentLampshade]

One day when I was a wee lad of 14, I was joking around with my friends about modern music (specifically trance and house) and I made a comment about how they all have random, idiotic names, and coined the name 'MC Lampshade' which had my friends in stitches.

Then one day in school, I was screwing around and invented an alias called 'The Agent', which served as a sort of Urban Legend in my school. The story went that the more you knew about The Agent, the more he knew about you, and would begin following you. It never caught on, but I liked the story.

Then when the fateful day came where I made myself an online identity, I deliberated long and hard about what I?d choose, what name would suit both me, and the internet. I remembered those stories and thus, 'AgentLampshade' was born.

 

[8a88leph1sh]

mine comes from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the fish that you stick into your ear that translates speech. and now I just discover it's actually spelled babel...ahwell :/

 

[Akytalusia]

it's a phonetic interpretation of the phrase "A key to Illusia" Illusia meaning "land of illusion".
i made it when i was desperately trying to find a means to escape from my physical vessel.
nowadays, it's my virtual identity, and the name i use everywhere that isn't the physical world.

 

[Promethax]

What is Promethax? Promethax is the ultimate ideal humanity strives for, weather they know it or not. The Promethax is the bottom feeder that is above all, the primordial slime that rules the Earth. Promethax is what is most loathed and also what is most great.







That, or the name of my first WoW character.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

It's a reference to "Lost" with a "2" at the end of it.

 

[Sexy Devil]

It's an observation about my level of attractiveness.

Spoiler

An ironic observation.

 

[ramboondiea]

a throwaway joke from mock the week that just stuck with me, i use it for all online things like steam gog ect

 

[JoJo]

My name's originally comes from my best friend Joseph at school, 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.

A few months back 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 in February this year 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" or "JoJoba" since neither distract much from the JoJo part.

So yeah, basically I'm now named after my best friend =D

 

[Vicarious Reality]

It sounds mystic and it is one of my favourite videogame levels

Also, it is particularly exellent for a gamer nickname

 

[Blobpie]

He who slays dragons and beds many virgins, really it's true!

 

[outovaeltaja]

Mine means strange wanderer and it's finnish. I've had for ages because no else had it and it sounds nice.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

Just a plain rip-off, really.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought I was actually Biz Markie.

So that was your plan? How... diabolical.

OT: It's the name I used when I made my first e-mail account like... ten years ago. Kinda just stuck with it for everything. The reason I used it should be fairly self-evident, but just in case:
It's 'cause I liked the first Shrek film.

Were you the 246th person to do so?

I can't imagine shrekfan being that popular an email adress..

 

[Lunar Templar]

the break down

Lunar: Luna is my favorite Pony in MLP, which ties to the fact, i like the moon, and 'moon' related things, as well as the night in general

Templar: Black Templar SM chapter, cause, they are awesome

also, they sound cool together

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

It means that I am a teddy bear that knows kung fu, so watch the fuck out or I may go all Jet Li on you.

 

[wintercoat]

When I was younger, I used to wear a thick, heavy winter coat all the time. I'm talking spring, summer, fall, winter, -20f, 100f, always. The nickname just grew from that, and it's kinda stuck ever since.

 

[saintdane05]

There was a series I LOVED as a child called "The Pendragon Adventures". The main villian was a god/demon/spirit thing that had plans that made Light Yagami's look like a bad joke. He was my personal favorite character, and the name of my first email account. I have used it ever since.

 

[Irradiated Tiger]

I smashed an adjective and a noun together.

Whoopy.
