So Where did you Get your Screennames from?

Well with everything that's been going on lately, I think this forum needs a bit of causality instead of fighting and pleading. So I'm going to go ahead and start a simple topic and ask, where did you all get your screen names from? For example, I got my screen name from playing with Bionicle for 6 years of my life.

I got my screen name like this:

My real name is Rafael, so, my screen name was in most of the sites raffe or r@ffe...

When I created my YouTube account, raffe, r@ffe & others similar were already taken, so I had to come out with something original, and raffitz came to life... When I registered this forum, I used raffitz, and raffitz it is...

my imagination sucks, so a while ago when i was making an account for some game... (cant remember which), i couldnt come up with anything. so i chose thingy. and i've used it in it's various forms (elthingo, thingy, thingeri etc) for a while now

I came up with my other screen name (which is thedarkarcon47 on the gathering forums and my forum) simply by playing StarCraft.

So it's a cheat code? I never would have guessed that! LOL!

I always thought it was kind of weird...

Well if you know anything about me you should know it comes from Halo. I don't play the game very often anymore but the name has just stuck. I first created it when I created my first email account with comcast. So Killerflood is my first username ever and it's been by my side since then.

My screename is hebrew. No particular reason why I chose hebrew, just that was the first language to pop up.

Is Shemuel just a different form of Samuel?

Well... My name is João Pedro Borrego, so here you got the JPB... 18 was an old class number I had... I first used it to sign in on BF2 multiplayer... after that I always used that nickname... ALWAYS!

Hm. Toa Kaita was the very first fictional character I created, as I said, after playing with Bionicle for a while my imagination just seemed to flourish, and now I have a whole saga written for the hero.

well my main character in my book is Captain Dave Terra, but Admiral is kind of flashy
Dave is my friend name so I figured "what the heck" and Terra means earth as I found out a few years ago. so, Admiral Dave Terra of The USS Wildfire is born

i got my name from the damaged galaxy class ship of BM2.

I got mine from my job.Thought a bit of irony would be nice.
EDIT: It was either Earthdeath or Psycho

lol, psycho? that's my bluetooth name!

also, congrats on becoming a mod in training, raffitz

Huh, so that could have been a screenname coincidence.
And yeah, i made raffitz a mod in training as we need a new staff member, as DW actually did most of the work.

I think we should remove that smiley. MNIM uses it too much.

Deleting now..

Egh.
Anyone else got any wonderful tales of awe on how they came up with their username?

i dont really remember where i got it from, but whenever somebody kills me in a game it says "you have killed a black man"
or "you were killed by a black man"

and me naam is m, that cheat saved me hundreds of times

my user name is... my username just that.

i would not join this forum until i thought of a halfway decent user name. The one thing i can't stand is picking a username that i will use for a long time until the point where it might seem childish or does not reflect me. It couldn't have numbers in it because it would look too online ish or mmorpg like. So what i did is when ever i had nothing to do i would just brain storm of a name and i did that for a while and i came up with Stryker. Striker definitely would be less preferable since the y adds character to the name.

I guess it does.Mine is just 2 words shoved together to form an ironic username.

I can't seem to remember how I came up with my username.

I think I started using the name "Darkjedi" when I was, 11?

Yeah, that's right! I was playing halo, and that was always my name.

Sadly, my screename came from my SN on Maple Story (bleh.) I think it came from me just improvising from "alkaline batteries"...
