How di you come up with your username? I just googled cool fo0rums name and then i clicked a random one and poof here i am
Bloodshadow
My username is actually an English translation of my Chinese username (血影魔王). "Devilord Bloodshadow" is the best translation I could come up with. Don't ask me how I got my Chinese username. Long story, sort of. You won't understand.
daynewolf036
Dayne is a last name in a Series of books I like, I like wolves...and 3's my lucky number with '0' and '6' being multiples of it...
RPGMASTER
I, at the time I joined, I had trolled for a while and had the intent of being a FATE-forum-only guy, so I joined, and since FATE is an RPG, that's my namesake, but now I'm almost exclusivley on the OT forum, so my username doesn't relly apply to me, except for the fact that I play waaaaaaaay too many RPG's...
Mattson the 4th
I named my first Fate character Matt.

His descendant I named Mattson.

His descendant I named Mattson Jr.

His descendant I named Mattson III

His descendant I named Mattson IV

Then I joined this forum, and used the current character's name.

Since then I've gotten to Mattson VIII... but my forum name hasn't died yet, so he's got no descendants.
Bloodshadow
Just asking: Does anyone have trouble displaying Chinese characters?
Storm Spotter
I am a skywarn storm spotter. I volunteer for the national weather service by spotting tornadoes and severe weather in my county and reporting it so that people can have more warning.

I also chase tornadoes.

Mattson the 4th
Please see my previously referenced work. Thank you. biggrin.gif
Zori's friend
I've been using variants of Zori's name for everything from here to ebay, and she hasn't minded so far. Makes it easy for me to remember my log-ins, and figure it's safer than using my real name.
jakesteel455
Nope i just upgraded it can read like 30 languages. deilord
derrick4st
Uh... My parents I think.
Pretty sure it was my parents...
My current Fate character is 'Bowan' and his pet cat is 'Darrow'.
(Bow and arrow=Bowan/Darrow. So very, very clever...)
(Zzzzz...)
I've also had Romeo and Juliet; both myself and the cat named 'Doc' into the third or fourth generation; and an 'attack magic' mage named Da'Mage.
'Doc' came to mind when I saw the face with the Lennon glasses...
voiceofjames
my pet's name is kevin....
Mattson the 4th
I can't put my pet's name on the forum LOL

The first time I played the game, it was because I was "stranded" at someone's house while I was house-sitting... and they didn't have CABLE!!! Can you believe in this day and age an adult with no CABLE TV?!?!

So, I turned on my laptop, and checked out some of the games that came pre-loaded on it. I did not expect to see or play ANYTHING that was interesting that I'd want to play again (HA!) so when I named my first character's pet I was thinking "gee, I wonder if this game has any limits to what the characters are allowed to be named?" and I tried to think of the most offensive thing I could name it.

Now it's kind of a tradition that I name my pets extremely offensive names. Kind of an inside joke... the irony of my thought at the time that I'd never want to play the game again... and I've gotten this involved in it.

Well... it's funny to me... and that's all that counts tongue.gif

No cable here, either...we love to avoid those fixed monthly cost items that don't mean very much to us. Although, I might get TV over my fiber connection if it were available in this area (I am assured that it won't be for quite some time).
Anyway, gotta save up money for those essentials...like a ski condo...skis...ski boots...bindings...lift tickets...hand and foot warmers...ski tuning...ridiculously expensive lodge food...
Can you tell that it's started to feel like fall around here? And winter is just around the corner??
:wink:
chillin13
Well, I have cable ...but no clever story about my screenname.
theminifigmaster
I used to sell lego Minifigures on Ebay, and so I created an ebay account called "Theminifigmaster." Since then I've shortened it to "FigMaster," which is always me screen name now.
SirLOL
And just like that, the off topic, went further into off topic...LMAO

Hi everyone...
funfun
Um if I answer this do I get something? Anyone wanna guess it? :blush:
Darian Wulfbane
Wulfbane is just wolfbane spelt weird, and i like werewolf lure so that's where wulfbane came from, and i just always though darian sounded cool. darian darius darus divian davian, all of these names i always thought sounded cool. idky
ljbono
No mystery in mine.. but I am confused by all the lack of cable????? How do you watch Dexter or SciFi channel or anything! I couldn't live without DVR. Commercials are so last century. I come out of Hollywood so I guess that's part of my problem. !
leniv
leniv=Len IV as in Len the 4th

I'm the fourth Leonard in a row for my family and Len's a nickname so I've used Leniv because I like how it sounds, it's original (I haven't seen it used so far), and it's easy to remember biggrin.gif

Most all my usernames are related to Leniv....my e-mail....runescape account....this forum....sal's realm of runescape forum....my aim.....everything else.....except real life laugh.gif I stick to Leonard, Len, and Lenny.
funfun
dry.gif Ill tell you. I had a big wheel with 1 million different phrases. I spun it and this is what I got! tongue.gif
PiggMania
My friend Steven kept telling me to play Runescape, so one day I did. I registered and got to the username part. I thought, " I raise pigs, and they're fun, so I'll call my self...PiggMania!"

I've used that name ever since that day 3 years ago.

I've also been mars.mud468 (I bought some mars mud one day, not having it since I was little, and just thought of mars.mud. Dunno.)
Mr. Sir
I happened to have read Holes, and thought Mr. Sir sounded funny. Although I have since changed my username to either freakingtallkid or Sgt. Pepper, depending on what I feel like at the time I sign up for whatever it is.
voiceofjames

Wow, you have to be a Technician now!? Back-in-the-day, all you needed was a hammer! biggrin.gif

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Back in 1966 sometime I was off the coast of South East Asia and thinking to myself, "What would Spock do?" kept me alive to be here to harass all the rest of you.
Bad Beholder
My profile name originates from- Bad, as in Bad to the Bone, one of my dad's favorite songs, and Beholder, as a tribute to a trilogy back in the early '90s called Eye of the Beholder, which I actually still play every now and again.

I might already have this somewhere else on these forums, but I figured the original thread for it was long forgotten by now, seeing as I couldn't find it in this forum subsection anywhere.

Jonathan

I actually messed up when creating my username.

You could ask Nick C or Joe R but I wouldn't hold your breath unless you have a really good reason. Don't forget too, they are rather busy and may not appreciate the request. Use this information at your own risk ...

lol, ok. just wondering if I missed the big CHANGE YOUR NAME HERE! button.
