Usernames: How did you get/make yours?
I chose "Martial" since I enjoy martial arts... that's about it.
I made mines by making it up. A lot of the names I use are like that. They don't intentionally reference anything.
From a book series by Chris D'Lacey, the most recent (to my knowledge) book, Fire World. Isenfier (pronounced ice an' fire) is sort of an essence or something (it's been a long time, don't remember). I dropped the e because it looked cleaner that way.
That being said, my real username for pretty much everything is ProjectRay12. Ray is my name for all you all know, and I wanted to include that in the username somehow. 12 is my favorite number (and ironically, I was twelve at the time I came up with it) and the Project just came out of a username brainstorming session, and it stuck ever since then. (I'm 15 now, so it's been awhile).
As for older usernames, let's see how many I can remember (in no particular order) :P
DeathFromAbove20: From DragonFable and 20 because it was my favorite number then (12 is still my favorite number now)
Clucker115: Oh god, this one. My grandpa's nickname for me is clucker, and my birthday is November 5th, A.K.A. 11/5
Spark115: Number is same as above, Sparks is my last name (Good luck finding me internet stalkers :D)
Shedna115(I think, or was it Sedna? Shedninja? It's been so long, wow): This was a rip-off of pokemon or naruto or something hell if I know. Same number.
[Something to do with Sangheili, I think it was Arbiter, or it might've been something with Yanme'e. Who knows.]115: From Halo. Same number.
And that's as far back as I can remember. Wow, I just got hit by nostalgia like a brick.
was watching kamen rider 555( faiz) its a Japanese TV show at time. my main is named after the main kamen rider: http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Takumi_Inui, and my alt Smart-Lady is named after a only surviving villain character/evil organization's mascot: http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Smart_Lady.
even though i would have made a different kamen rider as a alt but not many gunner type riders with short names that would have fit or where some riders 2nd form or something. except maybe kamen rider beast but was too lazy at time and rather had character from same series, even though delta would have worked but delta was a forgettable 3rd rider so nobody get reference. even though not everyone gets my character name reference.
I thought of some random name for some random reason i know about. Some people think that i'm a guest.
For my first character Tiraid I was just brainstorming for names and Tyraid came up, it was taken so i changed the spelling, my second character, Artemis-Owl I'm a big fan of the artemis fowl series but that name was taken then i thought about the greek godess of the hunt and the moon, whos "sacred animal" is the owl so thats my second character
My name means 'cloud' in Irish Gaelic, and I'm Irish, so... yeah. And it's not pronounced 'Scam-all'. I only realised people would mispronounce this after I'd created him. It's pronounced 'Skom-ull'. I was going to go with some other name, probably my Steam name, but I can't actually remember. Either way, I'm glad it was taken; I don't really like my Steam name. I made it when I was 13 or 14, and I can't really change it now, because it's an identity thing.
I've found that actually creating a new name for my player characters lets me form some sort of attachment to them. My Knight didn't become a means to experience the game, it became a part of me. I developed his backstory, chronicled his adventures, gave him an identity far beyond what I would have done with my Steam name. Hell, I even have a last name for him. My Knight helped me, too, in a way. Through his existence I was able to work his character into the lore I'm slowly building in my mind, for some Grand Scheme I've been working on for years. Our relationship is symbiotic.
So, yeah. My name is Scamall Sa Spéir. And I am a Knight.
I got mine from Clubpenguin back in 2009, I couldn't think of any name so I just remembered this name.
Jzthree: JZ is actually my initials :P Three: Have 2 brothers (1 of 3) and it rhymes :P
idk i just litteraly imagined a sinister hawk made completely out of nothing but pitch black smoke
leaving nothing but a trail of ash and smoke behind it as flew high in the air
sure would like to actually see something like this even if it's simply drawn up or painted
someday... someday...
I got mine from another MMO game called LEGO Universe (which is now discontinued). my IGN in LU was BuzzBoostShadow so when I got on SK I shortened it to BuzzShadow
Erm... Randomly typed in 5 letters on a Chat network 4 years ago, boom got my name.... nothing special besides I used my head to do it...
Cheese is for puppies
Exploding Love Rocks are for Dogrocks
And never rob a Njthug!
So Tip your hat to gremlins, and beat the crap outta Slags!
I got my user name when I really liked Legos. They had just released the lego board game series "Heroica." I would have chosen the name Coyote since that's what I usually do for games. It was already taken and I was wondering what I could do....
Fools are suckers for this.. AND EVER IS NOT MEMBER IN TOONTOWN!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111
Ive always used the name Cinoa for every game I ever played, including since I was little. The only games I can think of right now are: club penguin, Runescape, marapets(yes I have last boredom resort games to play), realm of the mad god, mabinogi, maplestory (my brother gave me his account do the username is cinomag). I probably have played more games but I can't really remember right now. EDIT: now that I think about it, my game selection is terrible. (I think my brother cobbled the name together for me about 6 years ago)
Feyi 's my irl nickname. Derived from my last name.
Comes from French 'egalité', which means equality.
Everything has to be balanced in my mind. The suffix
-us is derived from Latin, cause it sounds cool.
I just thought it sounded nice (I don't hate anyone named Sky) and I put the first at the end because Skykiller was taken.
I use Battlegrinder as my IGN for just about everything. I originally came up with it when I started playing Battlefield 2142 (given that games progression system, it turned out to be quite a relevant name too), and I've continued to use it ever since.
Squids were my favorite animal so I liked Ink. I wanted Ink in my screen name, but I wanted something else.
I said "What can I INCORPORATE into my screen name?".
Incorporate! Inc...
INK - INC, Homophones!
I want to see how long it will take before a newbie mistakes me for an actual NPC.
HMM............... lets see i cant remember if i was craving cheese or eating it >.< but it was something like that
My name is actually a typo for "bajillion"... Bajillion came from this drawing from this artist who drew pon and zi :D
My character was created when i was into a series called last dragon chronicles and that was one of the dragon sounds
Wouldn't people like to know where, when, how, and why I got mine.....
Not a very fun/Interesting story. But I can tell you that it has nothing to do with asdf. I hate those short films with a passion. D:
I always liked the element of Ice. So I wanted "Ice". I wasn't too surprised to find that it was taken. Soooo... I tried "Icecube" taken...
Ice-Cube... Taken
Icekube... Taken
I got really fed up at this point so I tried to mess it up as much as I possibly could. Thus,
Isekuube was born. Honestly looking back, I don't even think the extra "u" mattered. Ohwell.
My username was based off my twitter name, [I don't think it's appropriate @_@].
It was a regular day, filled with Jelly Runs and mist budgeting.
Suddenly, I get logged out.
Thinking it was an error I log back in t see a message.
"Your username "Pikachuintercourse" is not in line with our TERMS AND CONDITIONS".
*Poof* Ur name is nw Pikachulevelup, is rly good name. Bai.
And now everyone thinks my name is horrible, which it is.
Ninjadrill.
In my mind: "HOW ABOUT NINJA AND DRILL PUT TOGETHER!!?!?!!!>!/!l:"
that basically
I played C&C, as Firehawk42 but a combination of events led to me using the nod bomber Vertigo instead, so Shadow-Vertigo came along - like countless people my intended name was taken.
