Username origin?

[Polnareff]

Mine just came from my manga character Astron and my username from another forum, which was Astro Knight. Take "Astron" and slap an "ite" on the end and you get my username now (and a pun on "Astro Knight").

I know there's a Wiki page dedicated to name meanings but hardly anyone has posted names on there or anything. It's like a flipping desert. :p

[Dr Aum]

It's a pun involving a Proto-Germanic morpheme, Freud, and a religiously significant syllable.

[Jowy]

I like Suikoden II.

[LunarWeaver]

Nobody knows what a LunarWeaver is or where the hell it came from. Not even me :(

[CimminyCricket]

My name on other forums was Cim, which stood for crazy insane maniac at the time... so the Cim thing caught on ...then a bunch of my good friends on the forum started calling me Cimanim for some reason...so that stuck too. and cimminy cricket...*shrug*

[Dynast-Kid]

My name stemmed from the lack of thinking of a good name.

Also, don't you have to wait a certain amount of time before requesting a name change? Because I REALLY want one. I hate typing all of the numbers and lines...

[Vikeve]

Um.... my name was nothing but just a bunch of random letters put together. I mean I don't know how to pronounce it. Most of the time I don't know just as long as it looks good.:cool:

My friend and I decided to make names that look cool when we wre making names for battle hunter so we chose whavter letters looked cool in the writting. And then came Vikeve.

I signed up for this website only a few weeks after I made the name so it stuck on me.:)

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I like summons. Leviathan is my favorite summon.

[Eiko Guy]

OUtlaw Star ROXX and I can control wind. Its my mutant power but keep it on the DL

[Rye]

I was RikkuYuna89 about 3 years ago. BoB gave me the nickname Rye in #eoff, and it stuck, so I changed my EoFF username to Rye. :p

[Vivisteiner]

My name stemmed from the lack of thinking of a good name.

[Pike]

Some ten years ago or so when I was into Redwall and I'd first discovered the internet, I made a roleplaying character named Pikestaff. The name has just... stuck... though I often shorten it to Pike.

Even my real-life friends call me Pike or Pikestaff on occasion. It's amusing and silly but I kinda like it cause I'm a geek like that.

(I should note that my first name on this forum was Gir, (taken from the Invader Zim character) which was a name I also used for a brief time on various forums... but I've decided I like Pike/Pikestaff much better.)

[Megami]

my username means "goddess" in japanese

[Chemical]

Chemicals are always undergoing constant change depending on a diverse amount of variables; temperature, environment, neighbouring chemical compounds...

It just seemed to be the most suitable screen name that divulged my relation to the EoFF message boards if not the world.

[Polaris]

My last username was 'Sweet_Angel' I wanted to change the sweet so I choose ice coz I'm a very cold person and I love ice! :love:

[Leucant]

Mines from my FFXI name. I have no creativity so I just used it because it was less painful.

[Tavrobel]

LOL for Tolkien's original writings.

[Bunny]

Bunny is a misnomer, as I dislike bunnies. I am trying to throw everyone off. I am pretty cute and furry though.

[Rocket Edge]

It was total gridlock.

[The black mage]

I Just like black mages:choc2:

[Vermachtnis]

I stuck two words together that sounded cool when stuck together.

[Jessweeee♪]

Who knows?

[Zeldy]

When I was like 9, I always called myself Zelda on forums etc. It stuck, even though I dislike it. It seemed wierd calling myself anything different. I changed it to Zeldy to not appear a hopeless Zelda fanatic, and have SOME individuality.

[Little Blue]

Duality, I got bored with my previous username (Aurons Ghost, which I chose cos I idolised Auron from FFX for some reason and liked the irony of sticking ghost on the end) and had the idea that wave / particle duality from my lectures was a good thing to change my name too.

Trouble is, I don't like my username now but need to wait another few months to change it...

[Dynast-Kid]

Trouble is, I don't like my username now but need to wait another few months to change it...

How many months?

EDIT-ga: Nevermind. I found it in the FAQ.

[escobert]

I'll go in order of use.
TrowaBartonIV - This was Diablo 2 characters name at the time I registered so it's what I used.
TsukasaIV - I love .HACK/sign and I decided to keep the IV thing going.
Bert - It's one of my many nicknames.
Escobar - need I say why?
Escobert - nik0tine told me to change my name to this.
ShlupBert - Flying Mullet stole my soul and turned me to the dark army.
Psychic Hornet - This was changed for the elections.
TrowaBartonIV ^_^ - I wanted it without the ^_^ but kishi kept that in, I guess he computed my PM wrong.

So there you have it.

[Owen Macwere]

My last username was 'Sweet_Angel' I wanted to change the sweet so I choose ice coz I'm a very cold person and I love ice! :love:

And you love someone who his username starts with I. :tongue:

As of my name, it is the name of a character in a story I am writting, I resymboled myself as that character in the story, so yeah. Owen Macwere is my fav name and I wont change it, only to something cooler. :D

[Chloe.]

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

A quote from a funny scene of the Simpsons when Homer is recording a sentimental speech to his daughter before he dies and the phone rings.

[Breine]

It's one of my real-life nicknames and it comes from my middle name "Breinholt".

[rubah]

it was a nickname for Ruby Lapiz, an old RPG character of mine.

[Cookie]

My name is Joe Cooke, my friends call me Cookie. Bam. Username. :D

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Odyseey. Odessy. Oddessey. I could never remember how to spell it.

In Irish, it's Odaisé (Odd-ASH-ee). That's nice and easy to remember, so I decided to stick to that. And Gaelach is Gaelic, or Irish.

Odaisé Gaelach = Irish Odyseey. Odssey. Odeysse. Damn. :mad2:

[BardTard]

Whiffles has a sexual meaning to it.

[StarlightAngel]

I was twelve. Need I say more?

White Swan was an election name for the Super Hero party, off of the super hero that Amelia became in The Slayers.

I've been thinking of changing my username, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

[Rase]

Combination of Ryan and Chase. I'm Ryan, and at the time I made the name my best friend was named Chase. Prior to this name I was Dark_Paladin_Cecil because I really like Final Fantasy IV and thought a combination of Cecil's two forms would have been sweet.

[Black Magic Shopkeeper]

I'm called Lunatic Pandora everywhere else (that or Pandora Projects, or just Panda). But I got sick and tired of that name and decided I should have a less ...overused...name. So then I took the least likely Final Fantasy...um...NPC...and made him/her/it into me!

I like shopkeepers in green robes anyway. >D

[Kamiko]

My Japanese name. Amazingly original.
Thank you Oba-san

[Ryth]

I pulled it out of my ass.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Mine is the name of the main male character off of Gundam Wing, the initials at the end stand for Neo Wing Zero Cutsom, a modified version of Heero's Gundam.

[Ouch!]

To be quite honest, I don't remember exactly what made me go with Ouch!, but I think it had to do with a picture of a guy getting kicked in the crotch.

[Goldenboko]

I'm a Golden Chocobo so the name choice canme natural.

[Shoeberto]

And that's how all the trouble started. (http://ape-law.com/evilmonkey/)

[Savern Volaco]

Seemed to be good at the time but I think I will keep it....

[KasaiDraco]

Kasai, Japanese for Fire. I thought the Latin, Ignus or Igni for fire was boring so I decided to use the Japanese term.
Draco, Latin for dragon. I didn't like the Japanese for dragon so I used this.

[Hambone]

Uhh...I like pigs?

[KasaiDraco]

That's my dog, Hampton's nickname!

[Hambone]

pig or hambone?

[Renmiri]

I love FFX and love the hymn of the fayth from X's soundtrack. My name is the 3rd verse.

I alo came to like being called Ren by my online friends :D

[Eiko Guy]

first i was eiko guy because I wanted a plain name that hides my complexity

now I was listening to thhe endings of this anime and said why not. in four months get ready for the return of eiko guy

[Araciel]

mine's a derivitive of the name of an angel in a middle eastern religion

[Kirobaito]

I registered with the name King Bahamut, and stuck with that for a good 3 years. People generally called me KB, though, and Meredy's !e2j thing in #eoff led me to the Japanese translation of kilobyte (KB), Kirobaito.

I've also used the names Walker Texas Ranger, KillerBunni, and KeroBeros. There might be others, but I don't remember.

[Polnareff]

Cool name origins, everyone :cool:

Oh yeah, my old username here when I first joined was Chibi Chocobo. I picked it because I thought it was funny, and because I wanted a name with some alliteration in it.

[Quindiana Jones]

MUST. HAVE. QUIN.

And then I was almost asleep and an amazing idea popped into my head......Quin....sounds like Gin! OMG GIN 'N' TONIC!

I want Quin-tessential but Owen won't let me and I don't want to upset him. QT will do.

[Crop]

This first thing I joind online was zone.com. I wanted a name that suited me but I couldnt think of one, my favourate game of the moment was Timesplitters2, my favourate characters names were all taken! So I used the crappy cropolite, then that was taken, so I used The_Cropolite1, a classic.

My first forum was then a Timesplitters one, by then I had grown used to The Cropolite, but it sounded to plain, I wanted a little crazy twist to it, but I couldnt think of one clearly so I shortened it to crop. And thats what it stays like.

I never use a capital for it, and if you ever see anyone called "crop" or "cropolite1" (it has to have the '1' on the end) it is most likely me!

[Jess]

Suprisingly, it's my name. :jess:

[Owen Macwere]

I want Quin-tessential but Owen won't let me and I don't want to upset him. QT will do.

Good boy!!. :bigsmile: *pats Quin's head softly*

[Burtsplurt]

Mine's complete nonsense. I was probably thinking of Burt Reynolds at the time, and I kind of wanted something that rhymed because I'm a poet (I'm not a poet). I've just kept it due to a complete lack of inspiration in the five intervening years.

[The Real Dark Messenger]

Well, Dark Messenger, is from FF9 and I have been using it for quite some time on the Internet. And 'The Real' part is because someone already used in it in the Forum.

Jay Wood from Denmark says cheers.

[Lacus Clyne]

As you can tell, Lacus Clyne is my favorite character from Gundam Seed/ Destiny, and that's why I have her name. :greenie:

[aquatius]

Some guy made a game called Gyrus and I played it and liked the name so I stole it.

[Timerk]

I was going to use Kermit, but for some reason I reversed it and changed some letters.

I was prolly trying to be artsy or something.

[Madonna]

This was divine inspiration.

[Quindiana Jones]

I want Quin-tessential but Owen won't let me and I don't want to upset him. QT will do.

Good boy!!. :bigsmile: *pats Quin's head softly*

Ah woof. Ah woof.

[Malikye187]

Mine is two fold.

<O:pThe Malikye comes from a name I used to write under. No I didn't have anything published if you find something. It was just what a used to sign at the bottom of all the poetry I wrote.
<O:p
The 187 comes from Action Quake 2. It was voice in the game that used to say 1 8 7 every time you killed someone. It was used as a taunt. Plus most times the name Malikye is taken and a number is suggested to be added to the end so I just tack it on by default now.<O:p

[Christmas]

Mine came from my favourite Final Fantasy X-2 character cause I am a hardcore fangirl. :bigsmile:

[Northcrest]

I was playing FFIX and Trance Kuja casted a Ultima Spell so I thought of my favorite FF character and came up with this name.

[starseeker]

Mine comes from the title of a book that I liked the cover of. I only read the book after stealing its title for my username.

[Twilight Edge]

I was Ultima Blader Draco when I registered. First, I like swords. Swords=blades. Draco=dragon. I like dragons. Then, I sort of broke the rules with a second account by the name of Omnislasher Draco. Draco=dragon. Omnislasher=I perform Omnislash. Then I realised how stupid the name sounded.

Current name is a reference to KHII. One of them once said in Chain of Memories "We stand in the twilight." The time of twilight in reality is near nightfall. Also, the scenery is nonetheless beautiful(observe Twilight Town). Near nightfall will churn out the feeling of 'edge of darkness'. As in the 'light and darkness talk' in KH, the nobodies are sort of like the middle-men. I am not a fan of light, yet I don't want to succumb to darkness. So, I stand in the middle. However, I prefer to be more dark than light. And since twilight is actually 'end of light, start of night', I am standing on the edge of the twilight. Remove the 'of the', add capitals and turn the words around, you will get my username: Twilight Edge.

PS: Twilight Edge is a weapon I like to use in RPs. It's a big sword I invented.

EDIT: Trying out the editga function. Awesome.

[Nominus Experse]

Because I wanted a name without actually having one. Thus, my good friend the Latin Nominus Experse crawled to me.

[Dr Aum]

Because I wanted a name without actually having one. Thus, my good friend the Latin Nominus Experse crawled to me.

What does "experse" mean? I've had five years of Latin but haven't encountered the term. "From through itself?" O_o

Oh, and nominus isn't a Latin word. It's nomen, nominis. Not that anyone minds. :)

[YTDN]

First I was Y_U_F_F_I_E, because I was a Yuffie fangirl.

Then I was Yuffie the Dragon Ninja because I had been continuously listening to the song Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja.

Now I am YTDN because I wanted to decrease the wordiness of my name.

[Sain Cai]

Sain: Main character from the Korean comic book Forbiddin Kingdom
Cai: Character from the historical simulation Bandit Kings of Ancient China, also the middle name of my son

[Peter_20]

My alias is not inspired by my name, Peter.
Also "20" is absolutely not inspired by my age - heck, I was born in 1986!

No, this is not irony!

[Diango12]

Diango12 = Django/Boktai

[Yuffie514]

first username...Yuffie + my birth month & date
second username...Yuffie + Faye (as in Faye Wong)
current username..."darkness" (Japanese) + Yuffie

[Mittopotahis]

I don't remember much, but I was once at school claiming I was as smart as a hippo. Then somehow that mutilated itself to 'Smarter than a Mitto!'...How misguided I was, for I did not know of the Mitto's unsurpassed intelligence. Anyway, from Mitto I kinda worked in Hippopotamus and voila, Mittopotahis.

[Shlup]

My username has no origin. It's just never taken.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Elite: This can either mean "the best of the best", or can refer to the Elites of the Covenant from Halo.

Lord: I've always thought this was a cool word, and is the title of all of the main characters of the Fire Emblem series (one of my personal favorites).

Sigma: The Greek form of the letter "S", which is my favorite letter.

[RPGmaniac]

Simple. I am a maniac about RPGs. hence, RPGmaniac. Although I use RPGmaniac876 on other forms cause RPGmaniac is already taken.

[Lawr]

These threads always leave me speechless...

[Melissaur]

I was Tifa Lockhart88 because she is my favorite ff girl and I was born in 88.

Then I was Melissaur because Roogle called me that in #eoff and I thought it was funny.

Now it's Fresh Prince of Mel Air because I wanted a change and o_O threw that one out there

[NorthernChaosGod]

The thread lives!

[Rantz]

Bazoom.
