What is the story behind you Username?

[Nimcha]

From a character in a book!

Apparently it's also some sort of Japanese weapon, but I found that out later.

 

[The Random One]

That's pretty much it.

Yeah I eventually figured out that all of the cards in the cycle had 'less' in their names, so 'Random One' wouldn't fit, and even later I figured out the internet had run 'random' into the ground way before I even stepped into it. I have no regrets.

 

[Gladiateher]

Well when you get down to it I am legitimately pleased that I took the opportunity when I got it sure it was tough getting the feet down but the rest was a cake walk.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Remember in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare when you're storming the Russian missile base? There are two U.S. snipers there, and when you turn a corner, an enemy is suddenly shot in the head. "This is Sniper Team 2. We've got you covered." That's where my name comes from. I just liked the number 4 better.

 

[Sandernista]

It was taken from brainstorming about a character, someone was writing, who annoys god. Means something along those lines in Hebrew.

 

[Funkysandwich]

It randomly popped into my head one day about six years ago when I was really bored on the school bus.

 

[Quantum Star]

It just sounded cool, what can I say?

 

[Dango]

I got it from Clannad, my favorite anime.

 

[Venereus]

OT: It's the word "venereal" (means related to sex; comes from Venus, Roman Goddess of Love) turned into a name, because I'm kind of a perv and sexually oriented jokes are my thing.

 

[Yokai]

When I was a thirteen-year-old weeaboo, I had a tenuous grasp of what the word meant in Japanese (animal demon or some such) and thought it sounded so cooooool and used it as my username everywhere for a couple years. I'm not thirteen anymore, and I think it sounds pretty dumb now.

I would change it if I could, preferably to King of Explodia, which popped into my head one day and I consider rather clever.

 

[Kiju]

Came to me in a dream; it's, more or less, the name that I'm called, and have been, for the past several years whenever I have a more vivid dream.

So, I stuck with it; I think it's more of a spirit name, in a way.

 

[Terminate421]

I was about to play runescape when I was 10 and put in "The Terminator" Terminate421 was one of the options and I took it. Now Its my online alias for everything (Except one site)

 

[DarthFennec]

My best friend came up with it, it just popped into his head after he saw my avatar (at the time).

Spoiler: This picture inspired my name.

 

[dragonhunter21]

This is an old handle, actually- made it back when Eragon was a new thing. (Never finished the second book, tho.)

EDIT Wrong username.

 

[Chris646]

Didn't we have this exact same topic the other week?
Oh well.
My username HAS a long and pointless backstory (mostly in the 646,) but all you need to know is:
My name is Chris
My lucky number is 64, originally my username ended in 644, but after stuff, it is now 646.

 

[Helscreama]

Mine is from Warcraft 3:Reign of Chaos.

Hellscream was one of my favorite characters but Hellscream is usually taken so I altered it.

 

[Amgeo]

It's an anagram of "omega." Not particularly creative, but nobody ever guesses it.

 

[Radoh]

Its the first name of a main character in my novel/video game idea.

 

[SovietSecrets]

I like drugs and my friend thought of up a different spelled from me then what I had.

 

[Zeromaxx]

Just like every nice thing in Detroit, it was stolen!
