Zauls Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 People must have some reason for choosing the username they have. I know I do... At a Yugioh event once (I think it was YCS Bochum) me and Hoppy were sat down just socialising or something and we overheard this guy who was calling Kabazauls "Kabasaurus". For some reason we all found this hilarious and it led to Hoppy changing his username to Kabasaurus. I was like "I'm gonna call myself Saberzauls now because its like the opposite way round of that" and so I did. Hoppy has since changed his username multiple times but I stuck with this for some reason. Where did your username come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Original username: First/middle initials, some random number (why I chose that one is unknown) and some random stuff at the end. Needless to say I only kept this for a year; I still have to use this for login purposes. Current username: Because of Sakura from Naruto Shippuden. This has pretty much been my nickname since July 28, 2010; I would've been Sakura during the MyBB days, if a certain mod (Icy) had honored my request when I asked him earlier that year before the change. (I only asked once though) Outside of YCM, I use Ruka (after the 5Ds character) and a couple of other names that are related to Latias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Common one I use: CinderFallenAngel - Cinder fav band at the time, and FallenAngel because I was bit down at the time. People from the first forum I went on just called me Cin or CFA. Blood Rose - Trying to sum all my favourite characters up. (Bizarrely enough one of my fav characters had a gun by a very similar name) Yin - Favourite character in Darker Than Black. Suigintou - Favourite character in Rozen Maiden. <3 her Gothic style. I did use Wednesday for Halloween, after Wednesday Addams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Went by NightWalker six or so years ago, I remember the reasoning to be something trivial along of the lines of: "vampires are really cool!!" Used that for like three or so years until I shortened it to Nw because everyone referred to me as such regardless, some of my Showcase bb's still call me that. Changed it again two years ago to 'Night during the apostrophe craze, anyone who's anyone in Showcase had a motherfucking apostrophe. Stole the name Night from some random once I became a mod.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well, here's a bit of a story. I was pretty young, had to be something like 12-14. I was doodling a bit. Nothing fancy, just stick figures and such. I decided to make a stick cow. I liked the silly thing so I wanted to name it. My sister's then boyfriend was playing a Dynasty Warriors game. One of the characters is of course Cao Cao. In this game the pronounciation was, well, cow cow. So that became its name. I filled up a notebook with Cow-Cow doodles, of many different kinds. Eventually I came up with the character of a ruler of Cow-Cows, complete with a crown and a throne. At some point while trying to come up with a Youtube username I thought of Cow-Cow and decided to go with LordCowCow. And ever since, literally everything I need a username online I use LordCowCow. It means nothing at all to anyone but me but it's just what feels right. I may eventually change it, but honestly it may be with me for all my life. I AM Lord CowCow.

Madsen Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 mfw night walker means prostitute Anyways, started out with something along the lines of blacklustersoldier76 because I was 8 when I joined, don't hate. Same reason I was later GodPuppy and then BleshB and variations of the latter. I seriously have no idea what I thought. I picked up Madsen from the Swedish comic Little Gamers which one of my older brothers read a lot and since I look up to them, I found myself liking both the comic and the character. This is by far my most used name.I'm also a pretty big football fan, so Reus is because of Marco Reus, who's pretty cool and pls marco come to arsenal All the Night related ones are, uhm, self-explaining, although there were things like Night's Main b**** and Night's Forgotten Daughter which I wanted to keep. Goddamn Yankee. Also, if you've ever been to Showcase, you'll know we have a craze about some particular symbol. Dots, apostrophes, pluses, minuses, tildes. Sometimes whole prefixes (+ART. anyone?), sometimes the whole subforum would de-capitalize the first letter of their name. Fun times. EDIT: Goddamn double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airride Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Drawcia because Drawcia. Airride because Kirby Air Ride, which is one of my favorite games; it helps I originally started on a Kirby site, so it would be kirby oreiented at first. I guess I've jsut stuck with it over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 My first username, AinSoph, was based on a Kabbalah concept that you can just search in Google, though most people here should know it better from the trap card played by Z-one. Though, the actual reason I choose the username was quite silly, so I won't talk about it. It basically involves another forum, soup, and not-so-close homonyms. Though, my obsession with the concept of "infinity" at that time also contributes to it. Otherwise, I'm using variations of Ain, or names of characters from Touhou Project. Though, I found it quite funny that Ain, the name that I got stuck with here, basically means "Not-", "nothing", "nothingness", etc. Kinda describes me here at times.

mitchermitcher Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Mitcher refers to Michiru from Grisaia no Kajitsu, because goddamn she's amazing. As to how 'Michiru' became 'Mitcher', that's...more or less an ingame joke I guess. 'the Idol Kidnapper'...believe it or not, was something that I came up on the spot. In one of the skype groups I'm in, everyone had some sort of ridiculous title next to their names, so after sitting for five minutes I came up with that and went with it. And you know, the rhyme...

Gαr Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 My first name Garazza came from the mobile suit Garazzo from Gundam 00 because Gundam is the sh*t. My second was Shotaro Ishinomori because he made Cyborg 009, Kikaider, and Kamen Rider. My current name is the combination of the two in the form of a One Piece name.

Fusion X. Denver Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 FusionXD was my first name that people knew me by, because fusion's my favorite word (and DBZ's fusion saga was entertaining) and I liked Pokémon XD and stuck that on the end there. Later on, I made a Twitter for like, a second, and thought of turning XD into names as well. Kept it as X and randomly thought of Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 At one point a few years ago, I was randomly obsessed with Pac-man. So I changed my name on here from what it was (my name backwards with a 27 after it) to -Pacman-. Then, later, I became one of the most hardcore Nexus fanboys on this site. Eventually, I needed to make usernames for things that wouldn't let me use dashes, and I realized I could combine my name and the thing I was known for into something that would work. And now I use Pacmanexus for everything (it's never taken =D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
