How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)

Sorry, after Roy left that title went back to the Montreal Canadians.


Anyways, Elk once stood for EvilLaughKid(and if you frequented the BnG IRC chat, ElectricLizardKing), I got it in Gr. 6 at the local uni's anime club. After my first viewing of AYBABTU I nearly died of laughter, multiple times, and thanks to my mom's side of the family, when I REALLY get going I have a very unique laugh. So I was known as "The Evil Laughing Kid/Guy" so I ran with it. But once I stopped being a "Kid" I just kept ELK and turned it into a regular name. The Anarcho is an optional modifier because I'm an anarchist, and to diffirentiate more between me and Elc (whose name comes from Arc the Lad I believe)

[machetecat]

Back when I was on gaia, my friends and I would chose weapons to "kill" trolls and such on our threads with, and I always went with machete, since it was a bit unusual and it's a funny word. Then I saw one of the AMV hells with the Azumanga Daioh kitties singing "I am the one and only" with their sharp teeth shining and such, and it made laugh and jump at the same time. I loved it so much, a new nickname was born.

My other online nickname is Kyoko, which long story short, I was a weeabo when I was 14, and I looked through a list of Japanese names until I found one I liked enough to use as a nickname. It's been 8-9 years since, and after all that time it's all but become my second name now. ^ ^;

[Force-A-Nature]

Force-a-Nature= FaN

Nerdy TF2 thing.

[Camajak]

When I was roughly 10 years old, I was REALLY into Neopets. So, I wanted to create a reaaaallly original name, something that sounded cool.
After a few tries, I came up with Cama, I think from the series with the girl with a photographic memory they call Cam? I don't remember the series. Ahaha.
Anyway, I had that. then, I kinda screwed around with random letters, and I came up with Cama-Jack.
There's at least 7 Acara Neopets (My favorite Neopet) Floating around with variations of this name.
Eventually, I dropped the hyphen and the c. So, Camajak was born! Kinda goes along with my real name, which is Jamilyn. LOL. And it's fun that Camajak isn't found ANYWHERE on the internet, unless it's from me. Cama is even difficult to find. :)
Anyway, that's how I got my username, which I use almost everywhere, and it's stuck for roughly 7 years now ^.^

It's my rap name, I use it everywhere.

In the early days of network gaming I used to go by PYRO, but when that got old I switched to Mr.E. Nowadays it's just Breaker.

[Aero]

I usually have a different handle for every site. After a bit of a wake up call, I decided to pick a new one and stick with it across different sites, forums, and communities for a number of reasons. As to why I picked Aero... well... I had this nifty avatar that I cut out of a large picture sitting around and figured it would be a good name for him. Plus it sounds cool (or at least not totally lame >.>;).

I've always used a variation of LitespeedEXE, originally Lightspeed-EXE, then slowly shortened down. This is the first time I could get my forum name as short as Lite, so I rolled with it.

I use Three of my fav. character names

Zero-Mega Man Zero
Shadow-Shadow the Hedgehog
X- Megaman X

and i just combine them and got ZshadowX

I've often used it as my characters names in mmo's (Jubiley if I can't spell it right).
One of my favorite X-men, she shoots out fireworks.
Wow -> I play a Priest -> they gave us penance -> looks like fireworks -> hello, Jubi!
Plus, it means to show great joy or satisfaction...and I consider myself an upbeat person! Happiness makes life worth living and all that jazz.

[Kergeros]

Been using this for years now. It holds a lot of meaning to me. And yes, it's a typo, but I keep it that way. (The correct way would be Kerberos, which is the greek name for the giant three-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. Also the name of a character in Card Captor Sakura.)

[Tyto]

Tytonidae is one of the two broader families of owls(the other being Strigidae). More specifically Tyto subspecies barn owls are identified by distinctly heart shaped faces or "masks" and are often called masked owls. I'm a late night kind of guy with a history of insomnia, so I've been called a nightowl, but I thought "Night Owl" was a little too straight forward for a username, and since the iconic barn owl face makes for a nice, simple, monochrome logo to use as an avatar, "Tyto" I became.

[Elc1247]

this username has stuck with me for a long time. came all the way from an old PS1 game.

[Rish]

Mine has been my nickname for years since all of my IRL friends refer to me as it. I'm actually more known as Rish than my real name.

[Aniki]

This is my first time using this nick. And, well, I'm probably older than almost all of you, and you should listen to your nii-chan.

[twillÿ]

According to google, 'Twilly' is some character off of a free-mmo called AQ.

According to me, I made it up. :wink: I added the special character, 'ÿ' when I couldn't name my Gnome Rogue on Wow, Twilly...thus began, twillÿ. It's become my alter ego for years now and I go by this as much as I do my real name. ^^ ((I also don't CAPS it on forums for some reason, go figure.))

So there you go. My deep dark persona secret. >.<

-twillÿ.

I'll take that challenge, I was born in '86. ;-)

[FDSuprema]

I've had a couple names before my current Username... I created this one a loooooong time ago back when I was first signing up for that old Hot Wheels site that doesn't exist anymore, PlanetHotwheels, by combining the word Super with my last name. The FD was added when I started going by Fierce Deity Suprema, but was too long for some sites, so I shortened it to FDSuprema.

My actual Nickname, Ed, happened when I joined a megaman fansite, two years ago. A friend of mine on that site, back then he was more of an acquaintance, thought my username was too long, so he started calling me Ed, and it caught on with the rest of my friends. Even my family calls me Ed now, despite my actual name being Jordan.

[Sandgolem]

I was born in 84 :3

[Cyrus]
