Why did you choose your username?
- Thread starter Queen Michael
- Start date
One of the first things I started doing in the internet a long time ago was to be a "rom backup" - I had folders full of roms so in case any of the download links went down I could reupload them. My username on those forums was "all-rom"
I was also playing final fantasy X at that time.
When I started playing MMOs I had to create a username but everything I tried was already takens. Then I combined my forum username with my favoutire FFX character.
all-rom + Auron= Alrom.
And I shall use this username until the end times!

Because I'm a morbid freak of nature, I chose the name of an ancient god from the kingdom of Ammon (part of present day Jordan). This particular chap accepted human sacrifice as a form of worship, hence the 'Sacrifice' component.
All in all, a very cheerful username.

PS3 came out, my dad bought one and let me play it, and I really like Metal Gear Solid, so I named my PSN account and every online account afterwards for years AnthrSolidSnake.
The problem was, it was supposed to be "AnotherSolidSnake", however PSN and most online networks don't allow that many characters, so most of my accounts ended up being "AnthrSolidSnake", or "AnothrSolidSnake".
However today I use the username LetLiveEverything after the youtube channel I created a few years ago and did nothing with except a few crappy videos, most of which I locked. I just made an Escapist Account before I started the youtube account.

I've used the name Bluff forever - like, since I was a four year old playing Pokemon Red. I can't remember why though, perhaps I had just learned the word around the same time I started playing Red and thought it sounded cool.
The "Simple" part I added in much later, only because the word "Bluff" on its own was already taken in an online game I was playing (I think it was Guild Wars). There's no reason for it, it's the first thing that came to mind that didn't sound stupid.

I picked mine not because it was the user name Gotham wanted but it was the user name Gotham needed....
Nah I got it off a beer can.

I've liked drow ever since playing Curse of the Azure Bonds as a child (they looked cool, had one of the toughest single enemies in the game, and some of the best equipment). So the first time I ever played the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game, my first character ever created was a drow. Neutral-aligned.
Internet alias.
A very old nickname of mine was NegerDanne(NegroDan, kind of). After a few years I grew sick of it and went for DanielBrown, or DanneBrun which is a direct translation. Believe the origins of the nickname was that I lived in the ghetto-ish suburbs, while my friends all lived in the city. Could also come from that one time when I came out of a bathroom, drunk, without my pants on after scoring.
Ladies.

I move from place to place.... on the internet. It was mostly inspired by a STALKER avatar I liked (travelling soldier in Pripyat).
Because I am some kind of obsessed freak unable to accept any MLP ship except RariShy. (At least no other ships containing one of the two.)
I'm also known to my friends to use battle-cries from this little role-playing setting project I'm working on, based on the show. Which is a large part of where the "Zealot" Part comes from.

Huh? That's an interesting explanation but it doesn't really explain why you're called Azurelord707... correct me if I'm wrong but I can't see anything related to Rarity, Fluttershy or Zealot in your username :-/Azurelord707 said:
Well back in 2008 I had bought an Xbox 360 of my own (my brother and I had been sharing one prior) and needed my own Gamertag. At the time my game of choice was Halo 3 and I played as an Elite mostly so I figured something synonymous with "Alien Soldier" might be good, as long as it wasn't painfully generic. I came up with "Eldritch[footnote]A lot of people think I use eldritch as a Lovecraft reference but I've never actually read any of his work. It's just a cool word that means "otherworldly" or "alien".[/footnote] Warrior". Then somewhere along the line before I set up the gamertag I thought Warlord sounded better.
I'm actually surprised by how unique it is, I've never seen it anywhere else besides an obscure series of short stories.
Sorry for ruining the end of your story.

Purring doesn't indicate contentment or happiness. Cats purr all the time, even when distressed or in pain. Research suggests that the vibration strengthens muscle and bone.Unkillable Cat said:

Well he is the patron of inventors. I'd always thought of Hephaestus as a more appropriate patron of engineers though.hermes200 said:
Because I tried making a username for some website years ago.
"This username is already in use."
"This username is already in use."
"This username is already in use."
"This username is already in use."
And so, in a fit of annoyed self-deprication, I named myself after a line in an Archie comic that summed up how bad I was at this "username" thing.
It worked.
And thus was born a legend.

Basically, I just ran a random word generator until I found one that sounded cool and wasn't taken. My previous choice, "Luminous", failed on the second requirement, so here we are.
