How did you come up with your username?

[jahasafrat]

Mine is a kind of pseudo-nickname going back about 12 years. It's essentially a drunk bastardization of my given name.

[Deleted]

I have like no idea what I was thinking.

[strangebreed]

A friend said i was a strange type of person and i thought hmm strange breed. Now i use it everywhere and its my mains name.

[Zoma]

Name of my favorite alt.

[OrcsRLame]

Name of my former D&D character. He single handedly started and ended a cosmic war between the Prime Material plane and Hell. Butchered the 9 lords of hell, committed mass genocide against the fiends. He became more powerful than a god, then declared himself the king of all lower planes.

[misthunter]

Because when Internet started to be popular - my old irc/mail name (echo) was already taken everywhere and I hate numbers in nick (didn't know 1337 5p3a|< than :P) so I had to come up with another one. Since than it's my nick almost in every game/forums (though sometimes have to replace e with 3 because it became more popular)

[Aoyi]

In that game Final Fantasy XI, my main was Aeternus. As everyone does in mmos, people tend to call you by the first few letters of your name, so I was called Aet. I played the game for 5 years so that name stuck. Now that I've been playing WoW, I have a new nickname, but I still went with Aet when creating this account.

[Maelle]

Maelle was my "main" at the time I created this account

Because mages are seriously OP

m @ Ludd.

Simple as that.

[Dorino]

I played WoW, then i was reading WoW realted book, then i played WoW again, made new character, wanted to name it like character from book, Durotan Dosomething.... Dorino. end

[Bane Falcon]

It was an RP character I made about... 12 years back or so, with a group of friends. Technically, it's a character's alter ego/call sign in a spin-off Gundam kind of storyline thing we were doing. Basically, after that scenario, all of my gamer tags have been Bane Falcon, or some other character from that world.

Odd little tidbit: Every single Banefalcon on the WoW US servers is me, except for a Human Paladin, because I'll never roll humans. >_>

[eids]

Me being 10 and making a runescape account... WRITE MY LAST NAME, PRESS ENTER WITHOUT CHECKING GO.. Runescape didnt have norwegian letters and therefor my username became Eids, and from that day allways has been, everywhere.

[hellosaltygoodness]

TV show quotation

[Syenite]

Name of my main; one of my favorite rocks.. very little or no quarts content at all. (only few blank spots when doing microscopy :P )

[Vynistra]

The name of a friends daughter way back in the day.
Haven't talked to her in almost a decade (maybe longer) but I love the name.

[Chillin D]

My name is Dylan. I'm pretty chill.

[Elexo]

I wanted a username I could remember but could not immediately be linked back to me.

So I used the name of a goblin alt I once made on a different realm.

His name was Elexo Looter as in Lex Luthor, only more cleverer..

[Cereal Killer]

The movie Hackers, best.movie.evar.

[Beno113]

Honestly? Random Name Generator on Neopets.

I typed in Ben first, Obviously no results.

I thought. Why not? And Whacked in Beno

A few alternatives came up, including Beno113.

I thought It was as good as anything else.

Been my Username for EVERYTHING EVER since then, Grown to love it.
