Simple, why did you pick the username you got, what drove you to type in those letters/symbols/digits?

Pike is short for Pikestaff which is a character I invented for use in Redwall RPs way back when I first started going online in like 1997-ish :tonberry:

I got bored with my old username and having just had a lecture on quantum mechanics this was the first thing that popped into my head as a replacement. I'm thinking of changing soon though.

It's a universal nickname of mine, derived from my real name, Simon. The P is silent. Depending on the type of website though (ie Something that requires a username but contains minimal discussion like YTMND or GameFAQs), I'll add something else to the name; either Reload at the start, or 300* at the end.

However, I've recently begun to learn the true origins of myself and therefore also my name. It's been a lot for me to take in!



*This is totally coincidental. I did not mean it to refer to the movie as it didn't exist back then. Ironically, the first time I used it was when I admitted I was bi, and 300 is the ultimate bi pride movie (the Spartans in reality were all bi and totally hot for each other). Weird eh?

CM9 = Coinmaster 9, coinmaster is what some of my friends called me cause I'm good at video games. 9 because it's my favorite number

04-17-2007, 11:31 PM
I used to use Jume as my default forum name, but it got to feeling too boring and kinda immature sounding, and people at an old harry potter RPG nicknamed me rubah which I think is much cuter and besides has more letters I like, and it means I can adopt a foxy theme because it is fox!

so cuteness also unless there's a large indonesian userbase, it's rarely taken. (although jume was rarely taken either except in strange cases such as Jume's Kitchen, which I don't remember the nationality of)

My first name: Twilight Paladin-- I used to be a huge fan of the .hack series, so 'twilight' was from the 'Epitaph of the Twilight' or something like that, I can't remember. And 'paladin'= my favorite FF job class at the time. But I changed it because it made me feel n00bish after a while.

Second name: Justin. I'm sure you can figure this one out without much trouble.

Current name: Poetically Pathetic= Song by Amber Pacific, which I actually am not a huge fan of actually, but I liked the name.

dodhungry
04-18-2007, 02:30 AM
the evolution of dodhungry came from way back in the golden ages of Socom 1 when I was only known as "hungry" But then a Socom clan called the ~Dealearz of Death~ invited me and the clan tag was {DoD} my name changed to {DoD}hungry.

So when Socom 2 came out hungry was already taken, I decided to go with dodhungry and sure enough it stuck. As for the whole pac man thing I dont know.

Well it all came about from my origional name "Pure Quin14", which has a long and boring story behind it anyway, and the comedic rhyming that Quin holds with the alcoholic beverage Gin. Quin. Gin. Quin. Gin. You see? But that would not get the full humour across just by naming myself Quin. Though cool, I need to make everybody know that I was attempting to make Quin sound funnier than it was by rhyming it with another word. So, after hours of thinking, I remembered that there is a popular and well-known drink called a "Gin and Tonic". Thus Quin and Tonic was born.

However, "Quin and Tonic" was not cool enough for me, so I shortened the word "and" to the commonly used "'n'". This would not only relate my name to a delicous drink, but also remind people of the funny-lala-ness of phrases like "fish 'n' chips", "rock 'n' roll" etc, thus heightening the effect that my hilariously funny, and exceptionally deeply and well-contemplated name has.

Well, the name "darksword" came from the fact that I freakin' LOVE Dark Knights. It's one of my favorite classes next to Red Mage.

The twelve? Here's the deep dark secret:

In FF4, there's a location on the moon called the "Hummingway Home." If you go inside, you will find that there are exactly 12 hummingways inside. I dunno, I just liked the hummingways, so I decided to put in this little "hidden homage." Not that it makes any sense.
