Where'd you get your username(s)?

[Cursed Frogurt]

Older Simpsons fans usually get mine but just in case here's the clip to one of the best Simpsons moments

My other username is quagthias which is a combination of quagmire and matthias, two names that I thought sounded cool back when AIM was new and I had to create my first username, and I haven't stopped using it since.

My GT is ThisIsGoatFace, which is an obscure Homestarrunner reference.

What about yours?

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I got mine off a headline about Yellow Fever.

 

[benderinTime]

My first name is Ben, and I love Futurama.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

GamesB2 is a combination of several things.

I like Games = Games

My name is James B = GamesB

The 2 is for two reasons... because it sounds better and the B2 brawler from Ratchet and Clank = GamesB2

So it's not just a random username, I take pride in the fact I put thought into it.

 

[Lord Kloo]

Me? I get mine from a weird cause:

My user names used to be Piglet or Lord Piglet.. When I started using some hardcore servers on COD4 my friend reckoned I should change my name to be taken seriously.. so he randomly typed in a name, just off the top of his head, I couldn't be bothered to change it and it kind of stuck since then..

 

[NeedAUserName]

Well, I don't rightly know were I got mine...

 

[CharrHearted]

My username FARE777 came back in the day of say... 8 years ago. It was first send on the game runescape when I was a little 7 year old. It's origin was founded from Grand Theft Auto 3 when I would play the taxi missions constantly until I reached as much as I could which happened to be 777 taxi fares. Can't believe I've stuck with it on everything I go on up to this day with ink bunny and the lot.

 

[farscythe]

farscythe used to be farsight as i tend to snipe (badly) in game and i like reapers hence the scythe nowadays..made sense to me

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Daystar Clarion is a sword wielded by the character Rhapsody in the Symphony of Ages book series by Elizabeth Haydon.


Also, the sword is on fire.

My other username is Leviantine, a surname I came up with for a character in D&D. I like the way it sounds so it kind of stuck in my head.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

mine is a nickname one of my best friends gave me, which was a combination of an Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference ("Your jambox is now his, by way of our actions") and a play on my name (Jamin) and existing nicknames (like Jambob and Jammin'), with the addition of a dotcom at the end, which was, in turn, another ATHF reference.

 

[radixlecti]

Mine has stuck with me ever since me and some friends started memorizing latin phrases.
I suspect it of not being 100% legit, but "root vegetable lounging chair" is about as close to couch potato as you can get.
Ironically, I always did a lot of sports, so I suppose it's one of "those" names.

 

[Beltom]

It's an obscure reference to the Belgariad series of books. My name is Tom, and in the Belgariad, disciples of Aldur put the prefix Bel- in front of their names.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Back in schooltimes a good friend of mine sad next to me in biology class and me and her usually made up stupid stuff to kill time. Once we compared the people in class to the animals in the book. I got to be the Fetzenfisch aka Phyllopteryx or the weedy seadragon, the german name Fetzenfisch could be translated as Ragfish, wich was a punch at my halfdestroyed punkoutfit i wore back in the day.Well sometimes i still do.
No spectacular story i know but the fisch part still lived on as my nickname ( Fisch, Herr Fisch or Dr.Fisch) so i got used to it.

Me? I get mine from a weird cause:

My user names used to be Piglet or Lord Piglet.. When I started using some hardcore servers on COD4 my friend reckoned I should change my name to be taken seriously.. so he randomly typed in a name, just off the top of his head, I couldn't be bothered to change it and it kind of stuck since then..

Be thankful for the second "o" or some million people online would know you as lord toilet

 

[Jonluw]

Based it on my real name.

 

[Ultraman950]

Mine came from RuneScape of all places. The very first username for any MMO ever was Ultraman950.

Ultraman came as a result of me wanting to one-up Superman and Mega Man (before I knew it was taken, and had any sense of cliche), and the 950 came from the pre-chosen numbers the game handed me when it saw it was taken.

It was so catchy, it acts as a username when I can't think of another one.

 

[Super Six One]

The film and book Black Hawk Down, its the callsign of the first chopper to get shot down in the mission.

 

[L4hlborg]

The one that you see here is DVSAurion. It is seperated into DVS and Aurion. DVS is the silly clanish group of Xbox live players I started. I really don't know where the Aurion comes from, but it does sound kinda cool.

I also move around with the name L4hlborg, which is an slightly altered combination of my names and sounds kinda cool. The 4 is there for completely aesthetic reasons, it's not that I didn't have choice. Kinda helps out the roboty feel coming from the borg at the end.

 

[theSovietConnection]

Well, my family came here from the Soviet Union shortly after WW2 broke out, and I like the theme of GTA IV.

I listened to a certain song.

Oh, that shark has pretty teeth, Dear
And he shows them pearly white.
Just a jacknife, has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it, way outta sight.

I like Frank Sinatra.

hahaha and i guess Sinatra likes Bertolt Brecht
