How did you come up with your username?

Hah! My guess what right!

I'm the biggest Tails fan ever, so I couldn't help but think "must be a reference to Tails?"

I knew it before you, because I was the one entering your dreams and putting the idea into your mind.

It's really not that hard to figure out.

If I can stand talking to you, then you probably aren't. Have you seen rabid Sonic fans before? I'm sure at least one of them likes Tails more than both of us combined. And that person is no doubt frightening.

Those people aren't fans, they're just crazy.

Okay how about, I'm the biggest not-insane Tails fan ever?

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:30 am

In that case, I might challenge you. There is a bit of buffer space between "more of a fan than me" and "crazy," however, so it's very possible you beat me.

Wait, why are we discussing this in this thread? This is about usernames.

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:46 pm

I came up with my username because I own four beagles (used to be six), and they're one of my favorite breeds of dogs.

DarkHeartsAndSuch · Post by **DarkHeartsAndSuch** » Tue Aug 24, 2010 1:18 pm

I honestly have no idea...
Normally I use just DarkHearts (I think I blame Kingdom Hearts for that) and that was already taken for the gravatar thingy, so I added the AndSuch just to make it different. I don't think it occurred to me that it wouldn't be taken on the forums, so I left it on there...

Haru Totetsu · Post by **Haru Totetsu** » Sun Sep 19, 2010 6:52 pm

I actually ahve several usernames I use. I actually decided to give each a persona.

Haru Totetsu = Me
Henaru = Fictional Cat (he's got an 'active' personality)
Kazuki = A Dragon (very VERY formal, a great cook to)

I actually draw straws with them when picking a name, the only exception is my YouTube username because we had an argumant and I just decided to make one up. It became PhycoDreamer, I thought it described me quite nicely.

Henaru and Kazuki are names that I just found and liked the meaning of, and I like the way they role off my tongue.

Haru is the name of a female character from a Studio Ghibli movie called The Cat Returns and after doing some research into the name I found that it was a unisex name so it could be a boys as well, so I felt gender safe with it. The Totetsu part is actually a way I miss-spelled the name of a creature from a novel series (that bacame an anime) called The Twelve Kingdoms, it looked good and because of the way I'd spelt it there was no chance of copyright so I felt hapy with it.

Oh and I have also been informed to tell you that Henaru is the most lovable and adorable feline you could posibly imagine, he has no possible character flaws and is perfcet in every way. I'll let you guess who wanted me to say that. He can be proud some times.

My favorite color is black, and my favorite animals are parrots.

The name also seemed original.

mariomarc · Post by **mariomarc** » Sun Sep 19, 2010 6:59 pm

the first one was neopets

my brother helped me choose it, and we chose mariomarc, cause we used to play Mario games all the time as kids

i think we still have our SNES

ZOMG A WAFFLE · Post by **ZOMG A WAFFLE** » Sun Sep 19, 2010 7:05 pm

I liek wafflez.

But seriously, I came up with the name on the spot. I was just gonna use one from a different forum, but then I reconsidered.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Sep 19, 2010 7:29 pm

I usually go by NobodyYouKnow, because its me! it undermines conformitiy and incorperates my humor. when i signed up i was saucey, so i mixed it up, but not to much.

what do you guys think about this thread, but instead of username, avatar?

Sure... But let me warn you some of us change avatar really often... And I mean REALLY often.

Since username is usually permanent, we only need to explain it once. But I will probably have to explain my avatars more than once, not that I mind explaining my avatars.

Medli · Post by **Medli** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:49 am

Well, Medli is only the first name of my very first game character.
Usually the name would have been Medli Goll, he was an elf in some online browser RPG. My mother made that name up back then, because I was 7 and couldn´t think of much^^

Since then I was Sirius, Serious, and one day I got desperate because all my names were taken and invented BERENEGELADURUSH.
Medli was unique, until(well it seems) some Zelda developer nerd stumbled upon it and put it in as name for that awkward looking whatever-it-is-thingie in "The Windwaker".

Since then I am quite angry about it, because since then Medli is often already taken. I used it here, because it is my default nick^^

Oh, and if you google Medli, you´ll only find pictures of that thingie(wtf is it supposed to be? >.<) and in third place the DA profile of some guy who took my name :/

IT'S A RUTO MAN A RUTO

Kazuo1G · Post by **Kazuo1G** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 9:08 am

My username came about when I took an internet Japanese name test (I think it was one of those "do-when-you're-bored" things), and I got a name from it: "Kazeo _______" (I can't remember the last name) Anyways, I threw it aside, and I never looked at it for a long while.

Fastforward to 2008: I got interested in anime and Japanese culture, and I decided my old internet name, "T-Squared", was overused a little too much, so I decided to go back on the Japanese name I got from the test, but by that time, it got erased from an accident.

The only name I could remember was "Kaz_o" (couldn't remember the vowel that went there), so I gave myself the pseudonym "Kazuo", but it needed a last name that didn't sound overused. "Ichigama" was the only name I could think up at the time. I've kept it ever since.

Now, the "1G" part comes from the fact that "ichi" in Japanese means "1", and "gama" is simply shortened to "G".

Enty · Post by **Enty** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 2:26 pm

enty is a shortening of my old dA username, entertheplayers

Wolf · Post by **Wolf** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 5:00 pm

I wasn't feeling creative when I joined... Wolf was the only username I could think of at the time.

And I wanted to see if it was taken... I was greatly surprised when it wasn't.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 6:56 pm

But then your name would be wrong. How could you live with such an injustice?

I don't think anyone is going to call you that just because you talk with us on the internet. Unless you only use the internet in front of your friends. And they know what it means. And they make the connection between us and that subculture.

How do they find out what internet communities you visit by using a word processor?
