Reading that
discussion argument with Herpaderp on names got me thinking, we should have a thread devoted to usernames. What does your username mean? What are its origins? Why did you choose it? Explain as much or as little as you want. ;)
If your name contains "Sephiroth", "Cloud", or any other FF character feel free to not explain it.
Covarr is the first half of my last name, Covarrubias (Hispanic name). The username originated about six years ago when some folks in my precalculus class couldn't pronounce my last name, I decided I liked it, and have been using it online ever since.

used to use agent smith, or some variation on mysteryme (some joke from elementary)
As to timu, i rmmbr finding some silly online ap that "translated your name to japanese", pretty much just spat out romaji, so tim smith => Timu Sumisu
Also thought of using Nim or Nihm, somthing like that, as thats what my nephw started calling me before he could pronounce Ts

Well mine is pretty boring but its my initials and my year of birth

Bosola as in the character from the Duchess of Malfi, himself derived from the IRL Italian assassin Daniel de Bosola. Who is Bosola? What is he? Philosopher? Criminal? Incompetent spy? Hero? Antihero? Proto-Marxist? Proto-Fascist? You can ask all you want, but you'll get no answers.

In 7th grade my church went on a camping retreat to some Native American place. Me and my friends decided we should all make up Indian names for ourselves... I decided ObeseBear was pretty awesome, another of my friends was SquattingTurtle, and another was something to do with a Squirrel.. I can't remember them all anymore :|

Just a simple Bioshock reference (I liek Bioshock a lot); the ammo vending machine (http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/El_Ammo_Bandito).
Before that I just used my real name.

Mine means "best and greatest" in ancient Greek. It's sometime used as an epithet of Zeus: Ζεὺς, κύδιστος, μέγιστος.
No doubt about it, I often compare myself to Greek gods. ;D
-
My name put simply.. is my name. It's the name of a character I came up with for a story I was writing about 3 immortal children who had a big war over who gets to rule the world. One good, one evil, and one who didn't really care. Damyn was the middle man, who walked between good and "evil" keeping balance. And being that he was immortal... yea.
Damyn itself was a name i came up with based off my name Dustin... I didn't think it sounded cool enough for a badass immortal who would fight an ultimate evil before then end of a story. And i always thought Damien was a rather cool name... but yea, kinda over used. So Damyn was born.

My name comes from the nickname the other girls used to call me in school the mako whale...Needless to say they were not very nice.

That reminds me, my real first name, Jari, is Finlandized version of Hjalmar.
Which...
Oh Hermie, are you reading this? :-D
...comes from the Old Norse name Hjálmarr meaning "helmeted warrior" from the element hjalmr "helmet" combined with arr "warrior".
I R VIKINGS! ;D

Don't do that, girl. :-[ I was ready to ask for names and addresses. Even though I don't usually do the White Knight-crap; I've found that girls are quite excellent at taking care of themselves. Some even get angry when you try to help. Fewer still might be able to beat me up. :D
As a punishment; no fluffy bunny for you. :P

My nick - drfeelgud88 came from the song "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue. the '88' is my birth year and well, I changed "good" to "gud" just for the hell of it lol.

My screenname here is from my favorite wrestler and 3 random numbers. I've been using since 1994 (when I was all of 4 years old, +win for always being around computers, its almost like I'm a real life Sunny from MGS...but a dude and stuff)
Last year or so, my AIM buddy list got ridiculously out of control, so I made a new one, PyrokineticDew, as per my friend Kristen's suggestion. that one comes from my love of setting things (and sometimes myself) on fire, and the fact that I've been known to drink disturbing amounts of Mountain Dew (for example, an entire 2 liter bottle during a band rehearsal, and then another 2 liter bottle on the walk home (a whole 4 blocks)

I don't need to explain mine since it explains itself. :-D

Well, my name is what it is and I will leave it at that.

This is not my usual nickname, this one came about as part of an old joke, my old Counter Strike buddies and I used to use random but related names every time we played, one night we picked song titles by the Lost Prophets, the song in question being Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja, I kinda stuck with it.
My usual nick is Tekkie.X or a variant thereof, I used to really enjoy Technological Studies at school and I'd always say techy for short, people started calling me techy including the teacher and it stuck, the spelling was to make it a bit more internet-y, the X is a Megaman reference as Megaman X was the first of the series that I'd played.

It all started when I was around the age of 10. I fell in love with chocobos. About two years later, I was into decorating my room and wanted to get chocobo stencils and paint chocobos all along the the walls of my room cuz I thought it'd be cool n stuff. I then realized I had this weird obsession over chocobos and started worshiping them. I then made myself a little shrine in my room dedicated solely to chocobos. I then started becoming one. I am now known as chocobo girl. o___o
Okay maybe I exaggerated. I did not build a chocobo shrine, nor did I worship chocobos, nor did I actually become one, but I DID contemplate painting chocobos around my walls. ;D
Sorry if this post made little to no sense, I'm somewhat hammered.
EDIT: THAT'S RIGHT HERBIE I LOVE CHOCOBOS. WACHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

Back to names...
Shadowseer is an optional boss in Final Fantasy XII. Yes, I am a geek.
I have since changed it to "The Seer of Shadows", as that sounds more epic.

Dudester was something me and friends said in fourth grade. I play guitar. YAY FOR OBVIOUS!
@ ammo, sorry but I is in America, and I would like to know the pronunciation of tu nombre - Jah ree? or our Jerry?
-
I think it is the 1st one. At least that is how i pronounce it.
-
I pronounce it that way too. It sounds a lot cooler. "Jerry" just sounds ugly in comparison :x
-
I always imagined it as "Yah ree"; J is pronounced like a Y in Finnish, n'est-ce pas?

Indeed it is. 8) And yes, that's pretty much how you are supposed to say it. :)

Interesting... I was about to try this new fad called jogging. I believe it's jogging... or yogging. It might be a soft j. I'm not sure, but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.

What, just running, and stuff, outside, in the rain and what have you? That's all they do?
Some people are just maladjusted freaks.

Your name is that one random name me and Matt came up with when we were on an insult spree one day, and came up with Hobnanchy, Hobnobin, and Fugger Nugger. I told you this :P
-
Picked 'pseudo-randomly', for I needed some unique username, not a username with 'Insert your favortie character name'. I often use masculine or neuter usernames, despite of being female, and it's no exception.

Haha! That actually made me laugh! :D

the name Jaitsu is a nod to a character i drew a few years back for a story, the name has stuck to me ever sinse
-
mine is just my initials and along with the amount of times i ever had "wet" dreams(as far as i can count anyway...........)
-
I never realised how much thought goes into making an online name o.O
Nor the amount of people who actually bother to put thisamount of thought into it O.o
It's times like this I wish I was more creative three or four or even more years ago when I became "Cloud"
[longpointlessoverlydetailedstorynobodywillread]
Actually, there is a small story behind my name, as it goes.
First forum I ever signed up to was a mac website to discuss the KHII secret ending because I'd never seen it before and I was very interested. (I'd never even used a mac before at this point xD. Google probably brought me there :P) I signed up there as "Cloudstrife252" (Guess I was just a stupid fanboy :-D In fact no wait a minute, I used to call myself "Cloudstrife" in some online game quite a while before that. The 252 part came because that was already taken.)
After that thread that I frequented died out, I was lead to a site called KHVids, where I became kind of well known for coding/hacking under the same name. Then there was this massive flame-war thing, and after being appointed temporary staff along with 4 others, I changed my name to "NeoCloudstrife" (Neo meaning "New" in this case, since I was a new person with a new attitude towards people. Also it sounded cool at the time :D) To this day, I'm still semi-staff there ;D
And recently, I tried to change it both here and at KHV, but seems as though it were fate my name stayed the same.

It is literally just crazy and nova put together. Nova is an old name from XBL, and i'm fairly mental hence - craziinova. Although my real name is Laurie which is pretty gay :-P
:lol:
-
aww that name isn't gay i know a guy named Candice who is rather proud of his....erm..female relations.
-
I know a guy called Leslie, but seems to me it's usually a girl's name, I think! O_O

lol pparently it's a variant of laura and lawrence after roman laurel leaves which were crowned to people in victory. actually my name is quite badass :lol:

Got if from the two best people on the plaaanet. Chad Warden and, of course, Anthony Perez.

[ME: My name is Alexander (Alex). Someone called me Prince Lex once. It stuck.]

Back in '95 I was signing up to play laser tag and needed a code name. I used part of a line from Hellraiser "Grimm Death". I started playing lot's of tag tournaments until '01. The other players got tired of calling me Grimm Death, so they shortened it to Grimmy. I still have many friends from then who know my real name but call me Grimmy IRL.
-
My username is actually a username that I carry with me anywhere I can apply it to (be it games, email accounts, etc).
It's essentially an anagram of my first and last name.
I actually thought of it when my friend told me he was writing a fantasy novel. We both eventually came to like the idea of imbedding ourselves into the plot as the main characters.
So I made my name as well as all of my other friends, and wheather or not other people like it, the important thing is that we like it.
Side note: How is everyone? anybody miss me? :)?

I have had mine since I was 11 and first got the internet(I am now 22)
My name has simple origins, yet comes out as an original(to me) name with a meaning of its own(saying that Im the man) and yet being comprised up of my own name
If you take my first name "Jeff" and add my first 2 letters from my middle name its "Da" andmy last name is Mann so all together its Jeffdamann, which surprisingly has never been taken prior to me registering with a website EVER...my internet user has always been jeffdamann, everywhere I've went since I was 11 lol.Every game I've played, anything that uses a username .
BTW I wasnt breaking the no personal information rule since I didnt give out my middle name fully and I often sign messages with Jeff or Jeff Mann.

My name is my name followed by the first verbal ejaculation I shouted randomly shouted out when I was coming up with it.
-
Actually a friend came up with mine. It was a joke on my last name and that I'm furry. Fur/Furz is part of my last name hence Furzball is like Furball. Funny thing, my last name in german means both shrub and fart so Furzball in german is Fartball :P

I got it from my other username, GreyWolf. That username was thought up by my brother.

I just maked up mine when I was playing some online game before. Specifically Zhyper MU.

That was me. I'm out and about experimenting with what all I can do and how to do it. If you notice some threads get erased, I apologize in advance :P
