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

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.

[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.

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

[Sandgolem]

I was born in 84 :3

[Cyrus]

yeah, mines from the bible sounds cool to me

[Bonediddly]

No one less than the King of Persia, my friend.

[zaburai]

I came up with my name by accident >_< I actually forgot Zabuza's name was Zabuza and Zaburai was born...

[Capensis]

I am an infallible gunner of love. Yeah that's it. Me and my friends were watching Arad Senkai: Slap Up Party and they decided I was like the gunner so they have called me that ever since. I have been the Gunner of Love for 2 years now....

[aztez]

Mine came from FFXI i just kept hitting random till i saw one I liked which took about an hour or so and I still didn't like the i finally picked so I changed the s to a z and then added another z, and I've now had the name for a few years now.

[Louis6507]

My username beats all others....if the contest was for lack of creativity. -_-||| It's simply my first name with random numbers since Louis is a common name. ^_^;;;

It's professional enough to use on all of the forums I'm a member of so that if anyone knows me on any of the other 10-15 forums I post to in a given week, they can recognize me.

I used to go by "Anime6507" from Jr. High to Sr. High...I still even use my original AIM account with that screen name. lol But...it got a little weird as I grew up...not like I'm old or anything....but, after being an ESL teacher for so many years in Asia.........my students would tease me about a screen name like that, and I switched to this variation ever since.

So, it's a long story, as you can see, but very uncreative. ^_~
