Explain Your Username

[TheRetiredSlave]

I started reading this thread from the beginning and got to page 11, but then I realized there is 45 pages... Ain't nobody got time for that (or at least I don't)..

 

My username comes from my really dumb sense of humor. Back when I played a lot of BF1942 I used to change my tag every few days to something completely different and random. One day I used "Retired Sex Slave #2", and I just never got around to switching it from that. As people started to know me by that name, I later changed it to Slave #2 and then eventually TheRetiredSlave. 

[TheSLSAMG]

My username is as simple as this.

 

[Exyn0s]

My username is Exyn0s because I made it up on the spot, only to later find out that Samsung makes a mobile processor with the name Exynos...

[StitchMonkey]

 

That little guy was my cat Stitch shortly after I got him.  The guy I was dateing at the time had brothers that knew I was a sucker and called me up, one week to the day after I had just got a kitten, "want a cat? Found a kitten that matches your others ones, its eyes are still closed"

 

So I botttle fed the little guy and he wormed his way into being my namesake.  I let the little brothers name him, they picked Stitch, I had little opinion at the time  because honestly I was telling myself that I was not going to keep him, just foster him, yeah right!  Monkey got added because stitch is almost always taken, and well, we call the cat monkey for reasons I have never been able to figure out. 

 

So my username is my cat's nickname.

[-Liquidman-]

Liquidman is kinda lame but my friend started to call me like that because I make custom liquid cooling loops

[Sidiox]

Silicium Di oxide (SiO₂₎

It comes from the gemstone Opal, which is made out of Silicium di oxide.

On some websites I add Mr.Sidiox

 

My old one was CPKing1, made it when I joined Runescape

CP:my initials

King: King of Runescape or something like that (can't remember)

1: CPKing was already taken

Some thought it was because of Club Penguin, but that aint true 

[SebastianThorn]

On here my name is just my name in real life, but without the "ö". But on Origin for example my name is aPaincake, I don't really know where I got that name from, I just like it.

[Modzy]

A small back story which directly relates to how i got my nickname/gamer name.

So i was bought up very technically minded having 1 grand farther as a wooden sailing boat builder/carpenter, the other as an electrician/model plane builder/retired radio electronics repairer. And my dad who was a also a sailing boat builder by hobby and electronics engineer at Holden (AU car manufacturer) by trade. So i had some of the best skill sets to learn from, but all i ended up doing as a kid was burning thing, destroying things, electrocuting myself & pulling apart every house hold item i could get my hands on to see how it worked and what i could do to make it better.

So naturally i got into PC building & modding at a very early age. But i originally was using REDBACKSPYDA as my very very early gamer tag, But when i really started to get into PC modding and built an award winning Microwave based water cooling rig for a magazine competition, someone who i met through that jokingly nicknamed me Mr Mods, And i kinda of liked it as it did suit what i was passionate about doing. So i changed it to Modz/Modzy and now 10 years later even some of my non gamer friends call me it as a general nickname.

[Slaeowulf]

One of my favourite books to read when I was younger was Beowulf, my last name begins with Sla (and I think it sounds cool). Simple, really.

[ManxMan]

I'm Manx(From the Isle of Man) which is not many people on here I dont think thats what my name on heres from but but on youtube/steam etc.. I use troopa451. Troopa because my friends came up with it one day(no idea why) and 451 means nothing yet.

[berna]

My name is Bernardo.

[AbidingDude]

I am the abiding dude because...

The dude abides

[Morgoth]

Morgoth, is in short Sauron's  master. The Balrog in the first book is that of Morgoth! He is essence is the most evil bad ass in all of Middle Earth or otherwise. I would recommend reading the Silmarillion!

[Mooshi]

I used to respond with "moo" back when I still used MSN Messenger whenever a contact that I was dead...no, I'm not kidding. :rolleyes:

[Butterfish]

I like to butter my fish

[soggyfatman]

soggyfatman was stolen from my best friends little brother. He had 2 accounts on a game, one named agent gonzales, the other soggyfatman. I saw it, looked at him, said it was mine. Thus, soggyfatman was born. I do not remember when this all happend, I just know it has been around for a long time. I figured it fit because I as a sweaty obese man, the world just needs to know!

[Dopplegangers]

My username was actually made up when I couldn't think of one for an alternative account. So I named it Dopplegangers due to the irony. After a while I sorta started to like it more, so I switched to using this and phasing out my older name.

[zuboici]

My mum named me using the first of 19 7 character strings from here so I just went with that.

[yourmomsanus]

[Deadrogue]

Well. It happened when I was playing WoW when I was a little kid. I played an Undead Rogue. Hence the name Deadrogue. Yeah. I know it's pretty darn creative.

[SheriffHD]

My name is Wyatt Earp (Famous US marshal) Every one since i was kid though called me sheriff though (they didnt know difference between a sheriff and a US marshal). so it kinda stuck. I also have a sheriff badge tattoo too.

[Crusader325]

Crusader : is my favourite Tank in Command and Conquer Generals

and

325 : is actually a random number, cause sometimes i found that "crusader" had been used by other peoples but now, i've always used 325,
because when it attached with Crusader i think it was a little bit cool... hahaha :lol:
