I... honestly don't remember. I think it went something like "Hmm... AdjectiveRodent is a good combo. How about AngryMongoose?"
Your Pseudonym, how did you come up with it?

Easy - My husband is The Gnome King. It was only fitting I be The Gnome Queen.McPulse said:
As for our 'gnome' monikers, it came about during my first tabletop D&D game. We were both playing gnomes, he a sorcerer and me a druid. We would always attend the games together and if one of us couldn't make it, the other wouldn't go.
When we arrived for the game after missing it for a few weeks, our DM cried out, "The gnomes are here."
From that day forward, our group always called us "The Gnomes." That was nearly 8 years ago and the name stuck. Our friends still call us the gnomes and our house, no matter where we live, has been dubbed "The Burrow."
Dunno.
Just thought of it.
Although I go by Grim Victor on literally everything else now.
So yeah.

It's also my PSN, except when I made that I accidently added an "m" after the "u".

A joke from a few of my friends when we were finding the Dark Side of the Rainbow of why the Munchkins didn't just shoot the wicked Witch when she appeared in Munchkinland when Dorothy first arrived in Oz in Wizard of Oz. What we later imagined was a Rambo-esque munchkin randomly pulling weapons out of hammerspace as he mowed down the Witch and her legion of flying monkeys...
Yes, we were stoned out of our minds, but it was something hilarious and I called dibs on it.

When we got a wrestling game for the N64 when I was 8 or 9 (huge fan of wrestling and wrestling games until I was like 17) , my brother suggested that we create our own wrestlers with our own names. I really liked the wrestler Ultimo Dragon but I didn't want the entire name and didn't care much for the Ultimo part so I replaced it with '' The ''.It became my gaming name and every time for the last 13 years I get to name an account on a site or a character in game, I always put TheDragon or simply Dragon. Not to mention that I really like dragons...
I add the 13 when I need to because it was the number of my favorite hockey player around the time I created that name and I grew to really like the number early on in my life (still my favorite number). Not to mention that I was born March 31, so it's backward of my birthday (the number I use when 13 is unavailable).

When I made it, I was going through a period of trying to establish self identity.
My new pseudonym is Vault Tec Representative...because Fallout is my favorite series.

My name is in Swedish and is a kind of curse you could put on someone. You'd put together things like bones and blood, wrap it up in yarn and put it somewhere the person you want to curse might find it and try to unravel it.
It can also be a supernatural creature (I think) of various kinds.
Truth be told I've never got hold of a good explanation of the word; I just think it sounds cool =P

My pseudonym came from two things: my love of books and my love of games.
The first part, Soren, came from this character of the same name in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, which when I started using the internet I was really in to. Also, Soren is the base name for all my internet accounts, so it also represents my love of the internet.
The second half was hard for me to come by. I wanted to showcase my love of games, but I didn't know what name to use. Besides of it being a matter of what game character it should come from, it was also a matter of if it sounded good with Soren. I considered MacTavish, Freeman, and others, but they didn't sound right. I zeroed in on taking a name from Mass Effect, since it was and still is my favorite game series of all time. I did consider Shepard, but it just didn't sound good, plus that would then make my initals SS.
Then, I looked to my favorite squademate and I knew I had my name.
Henceforth, I was Soren Alenko.

<-- It's Japanese for "Rose Princess"
It's a reference to Revolutionary Girl Utena, my very favorite anime ever.

Stole it from someone back in High School. Means 'Black black' in Greek, or so I'm told but the closest translation I can find is 'melas' (meaning dark or black) and 'zophos' instead of 'zepheos'. I actually used it with permission from the girl as the name of a character based on her in a book I was writing, then when we parted ways and I started to use the internet more it was the only character I knew I wasn't going to write anymore so the name was free.
For the record, I consider it to be pronounced 'zef-ay-os', but really it doesn't matter since I'd hardly be communicating verbally with anyone who might read it.
