Where or How did you get your current username? (X Posted)

[Prescott]

My friend always named himself Bloo on the internet (also, his dog's name) so I decided to screw with the spelling of red and ended up just putting another D at the end. I guess I could have been Rehhd or something... Reaweliufheawluihd.

 

[OneTrueMitch]

Mine is simple~ For years, Mitcho has been a nickname I went by (Until it became Leroy). I tried Mitcho on this site, but it was taken, so I went with Mitch0 because, 0 = o xD

Story behind earthtian

Spoiler

When I thought of earthtian, I was thinking of my favorite colors green and blue (sky-ish). Then I thought about what has both of those colors? earth does but that can't be a username.Then I thought of other planets mercury, venus, then mars. Thought how people would call aliens from mars martians. Then I thought what if we are aliens to mars? Earthtian was born

Terran would be the one I'd use, as Terra is latin for Earth. But, to each their own.

 

[BoluBolu]

BoluBolu, a little story about this username

Spoiler

Actually my childhood name is Bao Liu, then first time I'm in highschool I've got a foreign oversea classmate, he can't spell my name correct and keep call me with Bolu, now I just repeat that word he made and it's come BoluBolu. One day I become fad and type Bolu in google search, then actually bolu is a cake from Indonesia(though I never eat it), that explain my profile picture, I once visited Indonesia but can't find that bolu cake.

 

[mlogan]

I realize I didn't actually explain mine, lol - was mostly joking with Croc because he knows. It's pretty lame - m is my first initial, logan is my last name.

When I joined this forum, I didn't really care what my username was as I had no intention of really becoming a part of it, just wanted to be able to ask questions. Ha! That worked out well, huh?

 

[Scythuz]

(Scythe + Uzi) - e, -i =Scythuz

Also it's pronounced Sigh Fuzz

It's something I came up with randomly whilst I was playing Warlords Battlecry 2 (has anybody actually played that?) ages ago.

 

[Geoff Moore]

I have no idea, I can't even remember when I came up with it. I think it helps people be less harsh to me when I suck at something, haha.

Someone pointed out that my name is a Douglas Adams reference, which it probably is, unintentionally, as I was a huge Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan some years back (Earth's description in the Guide simply reads "Mostly harmless").

 

[Marrend]

Pretty simple, really. Back in the late 1980's, when my and my two older brothers were first playing Might and Magic - Secret of the Inner Sanctum (This was our first "real" video game, by-the-by), my eldest brother had this Party of the Gods. They were originally named after people he knew in real life, but they were changed at some point. The character that was named after me was changed to "Marrend".


Marrend was Sorcerer, probably and Elf (though that point doesn't seem as important). Since then, every sorcerer in a Might and Magic title that I've made was named "Marrend". Oh, uh, I guess I also use "Marrend" as a user-name on various websites/forums and my Steam account which I'm rarely on.


*Edit: In case you're wondering, no, that's not who my current avatar is supposed to be!

 

[FleetingInfinity]

I don't remember exactly where the first time I used this username was, but I remember I had to pick from a list of words to make up the username rather than actually just writing in a username.   Thus FleetingInfinity was born.   I have since used it as a pseudonym for writing and on a number of forums.   Slightly more interesting story than that to my previous oft-used username, which was FadedAce, and also the one some people that have been around a long time might, and I stress might, recognize.   Back when I played Arcade games as a kid, I'd always put in Ace, because you know, that was cool at the time to me.   Some friends even called me Ace as a nickname then.    Once I  was older I needed a username to use on different sites.  So I stuck Faded on to Ace, because again it seemed cool and worked as something of a writer's pseudonym.

 

[MektiKwiiger]

Way back when my dog was a small puppy, I was doing babytalk at it, including the phrase meaning "Grr, I'm a mighty warrior," 

A few years later when entering a username I recalled the incident, and then it became my chosen username.

 

[Ikari]

I like fire and fury.

(Ikari means Fury in Japanese.)

 

[captainproton]

Captain Proton is a character from a Flash Gordon-esque holodeck simulation from Star Trek Voyager.

That particular episode was ridiculously funny and the retro goofiness of it all stuck with me. Normally, I go with something fantasy or anime-themed, but when I signed up here, I went sci-fi.

 

[Marrend]

Darigaaz, I think I recall an episode of Voyager that involved Captain Proton. I don't recall much about it, but, I think if involved some kind of speicies that existed on the holodeck? They sent in the doctor to act as President (he was the only person that would be read as "alive" to their devices), and they finagled Captain Jameway to act as the Queen of... something... that was a sometime ally of Captain Proton?


Yeah, it's pretty fuzzy.

I think i remember her being something like Queen Arachnia or something.

Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous and fun.

@Touchfuzzy - lol, really?

 

[Venka]

My name comes from a comic book series called ElfQuest. It was created in the late 70's but got done some years later and color was added to it and they started printing them in books instead of comic books. So I tore through his book collection and liked it so much that when I grew up and moved out I got my own set of them. Venka is one of the many characters in the series that I liked. I sign up as Venka for most things, but will take other names from the series if Venka is taken

Venka is powerful but serene character in the series. I updated my avatar a few weeks back to a portrait of the Venka character.

 

[captainproton]

@Touchfuzzy - omigosh, how did I not remember this? Yoshi's Island was one of my favorite games. That is so cool.

 

[Touchfuzzy]

I once gave an email address at gamestop and there happened to be a cop there and he got really suspicious as to why my email was touchfuzzy@getdizzy.org. Which, thanks to Nathanial for getting me that domain to complete the joke. Its lapsed now though I believe.

 

[??????]

lmao, I can see how he became concerned
I was hoping they would bring out a .rpg web domain address. Then I could have been "www.dekita.rpg" ... ahhhh... one can dream...
