Explain Your Username

[Mozuto]

Mozilla + utorrent

These 2 programs were opened when I had to choose THE ultimate username. I screwed it up,I know....

[accelleon]

I needed a username for some website i can't remember, and I'm terribly uncreative. So if you remember that old b daman series, i happened to have one named Accel Leon, i looked up at the shelf above my computer saw him, decided i wouldn't think of anything better, and so it became my name.

[AmateurPCGuy]

AmateurPCGuy

Amateur - That's What I am...

PC - I <3 PCs

Guy - I'm a guy.

 

Need I say more?

[Axypha]

I didn't want my name in games and forums to resemble or give clues to my IRL name. I thought for a WHILE before making a Permanent IGN and Forum Name for everything, so it took me about an hour to bunch up the looks and sounds of words. I narrowed that down to sounds that look good on paper and sound good when you say it out loud. I came up with Scy, Aphy, Axy, Exy, Ecs, Aspi, Pha, Nos, Exqi, Arc, Phe, Zy, and An. Then, I bunched a few words together with the sounds, adding/subtracting a few additional letters, or letting them stay the same. Scythe, Anarchy,  Aphyxah, Zynxa, Exynos, Axypha, Arkzy, and Asphe. I took out the ones that sound somewhat odd when put together, or didn't look outstanding.. Aphyxah, Zynxa, and Asphe went.After that, I took out the ones that are actual words. I took out Scythe and Anarchy. I was left with Arkzy, Exynos, and Axypha. I took out Exynos because 'Exy' was a bit too common. I picked by a dice roll between Arkzy and Axypha. I decided To save Arkzy for another character in another game or something. I then made several variations of the name. Axypha, Exypha, Axyphah, Exyphah, and Aphyxa. Aphyxah and Axyphah seemed odd, and like I said before, 'Exy' was too common. Axypha was the final outcome. Looking back when I first chose Axypha, I think I made a good decision for the IGN.

[EvilScotsman]

I'm from Scotland and I'm evil. I joke. My name derives from a song by a Scottish comedian named Billy Connolly. He done a Scottish remake of Alanis Morissette's "Hand In My Pocket", it's pretty vulgur and not many people outside of Scotland will understand the terminology used or find it remotely funny.

[TTesla]

My name is the way it is because I want it to be that way!

[Guest Philosophy]

When I started my band (Philosophy of Reason) I thought that was the coolest name ever. I then realized it was to long so I shortened to philosophy and figured now that it is shorter use it as my username for free advertising.

[ElephantCrave]

I like elephants 

[TheKoerby]

I was given the name "Körbi" when I was a kid because of my last name "Körbe" (engl.: baskets). Körbi in German sounds like the character Kirby, but since most of the time 

I can not use Kirby (because it is already used) and the letter "ö" isn't allowed in Games I have to use "oe". 

 

The result is Koerby

 

Also "Kirby" is cool;)

[Phart]

I was 10 when I made it, but then it's now and I still use it...

[TOMPPIX]

my irl nickname is tomppi

[b45op]

I am originally from Zimbabwe where the language Ndebele is spoken the word Basop (1337 speak included B45op) means beware! I needed a username many years ago thought hey why not something that means something and hey there we go. this gets shortened a lot to b45 by most people I play with.

 

I did go by the tag Excalibur on IRC a long time ago but I don't really use that nick anymore for anything.

[Titanicium]

Just ignore mrs for now I´ll come up with something later...

[YouRezz]

Ok, im late to the party as always..

Jure- my name

z- initial of my surname

 

So at first my nick was jurez, than i just adapted it to look more english, so i swapped j for y and u for ou, and added another z for looks, nowdays people often short it to rezz.

If thats taken i'll sometimes use PoWeR, or SirPowers like in chivalary

[Stripes]

I went to the beach for senior week last year and everyone started calling me stripes because my shirt had stripes on it, and it stuck.

[Stefano]

Its my first name

[adiobe]

Well I liked the brand "Adio" back in the days and I'm from Belgium so Adiobe = Adio+be  

[MadManMarsBar]

MadMan : i was known for being a bit of a nut case when i was out riding my mountain bike , snapped the frame multiple times and broke loads of bones , my problem was i couldnt turn down a challenge lol

 

Marsbar , My fav chocolate bar , simple as

[Hart]

I came up with this name when I needed a second name for an MMO character, I ended up taking part of the name 'Knight-hart' from Chaos;head mainly because it's my favourite visual novel but also because it reminds me of names like Loinheart and Braveheart and I was making a paladin character. It's mostly stuck since then but I haven't changed my older names.

 

I have a few variations as well (Ever-Hart, HartDelusion) which have the same themes. 

[Wano97]

Wano is a name I though of for some old zelda-ish online game. 1997 is my birth year.

[Anti Hero]

I stopped a robbery in progress when i was in my early 20's. i was on the news and got an award from the local PD where i lived. People kept calling me a hero so I said something a long the lines of "im not a hero, i was just doing what anyone would"

 

My mom started calling me her little anti hero, and did it when i was sitting in my room thinking up my original xbox live account name. So i put it in and it has stuck ever since.

 

So thats that, everyone always thinks its the skateboard brand lol.

[SAV1OUR]

NOTE THIS IS GOING TO MAKE YOU SIGH 

Prior to me getting into getting into pc gaming in was a console player *sigh* i tended to play a allot of halo and during my time when playing i would get allot of assets and medals saying saviour so my friends would always be sarcastic and say oh your my saviour. so after a while i decided to change my name is saviour but someone had the name so i subbed in a 1 for the i. not much of a story sadly

[Skeletonfish]

I was in a fishing shop with my dad, when I saw the gloomis logo (the skeleton of a fish). At that time I was just getting into PC gaming and steam, and was looking for a good steam name. I thought to myself "that logo would be a cool avatar" and the name came with the avatar. The rest is history.

[noclue1987]

It all started when I was young lad experimenting with blasphemous things called "gaming consoles" those were dark times, and online multi-player was was huge on a thing called a xbox 360. I needed a name and the only thing that ran through my feeble mind was "I have no clue what it should be" then it hit me NOCLUE so I entered the name and it was all ready taken so I said screw it and entered 1987 numbers with no meaning attached to a statement of lost thought something I never planed to go no farther is now forever in my shadow

 

glad I found this post had fun over embellishing the story

[gamerxxl12]

In 6th grade I got a iPod touch and downloaded CoD zombies and I needed a name and under suggested it was Gamer931.

Fastfoward later- I got a PS3 and I used Gamer931 but, thought that it was too boring so I thought it would cool if I put the "X's" you see in names so I put XX and added a L (because I'm a big kid) and my age was 12.
