Hero of Time was already taken, so I went for the next best name, Thus the Hero of Lime was born. I guess I wanted an username to show off my Zelda fanboyism, similar case for my avatar being Link.

I hate coming up with usernames. I was listening to Black Dream by Samhain at the time and since it's one of my favorite songs of theirs it seemed like a good enough choice.

Named after Sextus, a character from the "Ecce Romani" Latin Text books. My Best Friend from high school is also named after one of the characters.

I have several accounts. TJcross comes from a alteration of my last name, and the initials of my first and middle name. I also use Joeshif, a misspelling of my first middle name and Ceon. Ceon used to be my second personality but an odd-dream interruption kinda fused us or something since he wasn't there when I woke up.

I can't even remember what it was called, but I used to play some FPS online, and I was a crackshot with the Mossberg. That's a really nerdy story for a really awesome name.

I used to use it for everything, but now I use 'Steak CasaKilla' as most of my usernames in reference to the fact that I work in a shitty Mexican restaurant.

Really like rats. Yeah I decided to name it after my favorite animal in the world. Kind of cool that the worlds leading expert on rats, just so happens to live in my hometown. After staring at my pet rats, I decided to use the word, ratties. Really cutesy word that rat owners use. Does sound a lot better than the word rats I suppose.

Tanis = Tanis Half-Eleven

Lionheart = Squall Lionheart/Leonhart
Those were good books. Been a long time since I've thought about them.

I take my name from Evil Roy Slade, a man with no name, the meanest man in the old west, who would howl at the darkness and scare it so bad he would cause dawn to break.

I've used the name Amaranth since high school. Which for me was like 200 years ago. Amaranth is a name used for things that tend to be hard to kill, damage, or destroy. As a bonus, the wood Amaranth is also called "purple heartwood." And I like purple. But that had nothing to do with it.

"Zachary" because I was looking for a stage name, and was a Freddie Mercury fan. I think there was a more specific reason for "Zachary," but it's lost in my massive cranium.

Incidentally, the only real decoration I have in my apartment is a fabric Queen poster, so I'm definitely a Freddie fan. :)

Daystar Clarion is the name of a sword from a series of novels.

Forged from a piece of star, the whole weapon is on fire, not just the blade and can only be wielded by certain people.
So you're too hot to handle?

'Fiz' is a nickname that I have with a group of friends that I have. I don't really remember how I actually got it, but then again I have so many nicknames with them it's hard to keep track how they all came to be.
I have trouble not reading it as "Fitz," for the record.

'Toaster' I got from this little (and I mean little) plush toaster that a friend of mine made for me on my birthday. It looks all mean and angry, and it's part of an inside joke. It's sitting on my desktop now and I just happened to look at it when I was creating my user name.
That's...Actually quite amusing.

Queen Michael said:
In the comic book series The Invisibles, there's a character called Queen Mab. And since Michael is what my ma and pa named me, and I'm a tranny, it seemed appropriate.
So you're NOT royalty?

Damn it, is anyone who they claim to be?

I actually wondered if your name was related to the Jim Butcher series (drawing a blank). Not that the name is unique, but Butcher IS popular around these hurr parts.

EDIT: Codex Alera. Comes to me like five seconds after I hit "post."

Legend of Zelda: A link To The Past.

Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

Those are my favorites.
So we could have "A Lime to the Past," "Link's Limening," and "The Limish Cap."

I would love to have a bunch of new users follow my lead and put lime into Zelda titles, the escapist could use an Ocarina of Lime username.

It's just something I came up with when I was randomly musing about Transformers. It's the name I came up with for a Canadian Transformer (or rather a Transformer that landed in Canada). Incidentally, he transforms into a snowmobile.
As for why I chose it, well it's one of two I generally use on the Internet, and for some reason I figured the Escapist wouldn't be that open to my other one.

How utterly boring that story is. :D
Well, you could make it more interesting by letting us in on the joke about the toaster. ;D

I'm terrible at coming up with good names, so it took forever to try and come with my xbox gamer tag.

While I was trying to think of something I heard this clip from big bang theory in the backgroud. My sister and mom were watching it really loudly for some reason.


I thought it was a neat enough for a username, so I reused it here.
One of the best things to come from the show. =w= b

As for mine. Well, like many, I was brought to this site by Yahtzee, and I always really liked the Imps in Zero Punctuation.
Emissary.
adj.
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Physiology) (of veins) draining blood from sinuses in the dura mater to veins outside the skull.

HA! But really, I picked it because it sounds like a neat job to have; [sub](1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy)
a. an agent or messenger sent on a mission, esp one who represents a government or head of state

[sub]b. (as modifier) an emissary delegation[/sub]

[sub]2. an agent sent on a secret mission, as a spy)[/sub][/sub]

Also, I like the Emissary darkspawn from Dragon Age. Hence, the avatar I have.

It's a literal translation of my actual name, in the original languages that the words that make up my real name come from.
I discovered this when I was in 4th grade and hated it. Then when I got old enough to appreciate fairy tales again I loved it.

I haven't seen one of these threads in a while. Anyway, I just came up with it in place of my real name on Miniclip and use it in most places on the internet. I like it and have no intentions of changing it anytime soon.

Its the name of a villain in a Garth Nix series I rather liked when I was younger, and it just sounds kind of cool.
recently started reading them again currently on sir thursday, it's a pretty good series that never fails to entertain me even though i'm 24!

OT:Me? well i'm A BigCup of Tea! this is what my gamertag for xbox is, i originally made it because of halo so when i killed someone it would say 'you were killed by a big cup of tea' although sometimes i regret it as when i join a game i usually get someone saying they like a big cup of coffee but i have a response to that (if you want to know what it is just say the quote i dare you!) with that i've pretty much made it my username for everything

its an anagram of my actual name. I would be leery of throwing that information out, but googling me doesn't turn up much as im off all social media sites.

EDIT: actually there are apparently a lot of people with my name. My last name doesn't surprise me as its German (and there are probably more Germans than any other European decent in the US), but my first name is unusual.

EMWISE94 is my gamertag. So anywhere I go where I'm told to pick a name for my game character or profile, its gonna be EMWISE94 or variants of that (like EM94, EMWISE, or something to do with '94') but I use this one for mostly gaming related places.

To break down what it means: Back in my rascally youth when I still had big, yet rather outlandish, dreams of being a game designer (still wanna be one), I got my hands on Game Maker 5. At the time I thought it'd be cool to come up with a name for the team that I would lead in making games, so I called it "EMWAY" and decided that anybody who was part of the team would be an "EMWISE". Obviously as I grew older I realised how silly the idea was but the name EMWISE94 really stuck with me... plus it just rolls of the tongue nicely.

other wise I use my artist pseudonym TheonknownKLAW (KLAW for short)
