What made you chose your username?

And yet look where you've ended up.

The inspiration for my handle will be kept secret. Besides, if you can't guess it inside your head, then you never will.

ooh ooh I guess you are named after Miss Hibiya from Chobits :P


Amirite?

I've been playing a browser based strategy game called utopia for a few years, first few ages I randomed a lot never stayed in the one kingdom. maybe a year after I started I joined a kingdom that was a mess and knew I wasn't going stick around, that was until late in the age when someone else randomed in and started organising things. He convinced me to stay and I did. We organised outside kingdom communications so we could all chat to each other rather than using the slow forum or ingame messaging system. he showed me how to use IRC, which was the best way to do it it didn't limit the amount of users who could chat and with twenty-five potential users we didn't want anythingto get in the way. Anyway, I had to register a username with the server and because we were running a Bringers theme (All the provinces named their provinces Bringer of <something>) I being Bringer of Mischief decided it would make less confusion if I used Mischief as my nick. I use it for a lot of my usernames all over the internet, couldn't do that hear so I used my shortened version 'Mish'. Mish came around becaue of some confusion about my gender, most people thought I was a girl, so Mish being rather feminine was how people shortened my nick. It took me forever to catch on, but people on utonet still believe me to be female, true story.

I wouldn't have thought "Mish" would be feminine, but your avatar got me.

At first.. my name started off as Cruel_Angel .. at the time I was a big time fan of Evangelion, and when I went to look for the opening song I found "Cruel angel Thesis" and thought.. what the hell and started using it for gaming.

Started playing games, and occasionally people would joke and say I was a 'cruel' bastard, because a sure win for the other team to suddenly reverse because of whatever I did. I thought about it, and Cruel_Destiny was created... I've used this call sign for several years now.

I started using it because many games I end up having a stroke of luck and win matches through whatever means happened at the time... get cussed out by the 'good' players who have never lost a match.. I figured the call sign fitted for the purpose of being the hidden underdog in games :)

yeah, my nickname sucks. i was going to do something with my first name rainn, but i thought people would just think i'm emo. :) so, my boy always said I looked like rukia, so i went with rukia... the 92 is my fav number 9 with my birthday 2. (April 2)

Along time ago I looked up a japanese word. And that was it. I've used it ever since. So if you see another tsujoi, then it's probably me...if not, I'm surprised.

My name is fairly unique as well although I didn't think I would be the only one.

Towelie is my favorite south park charecter and 112 was the number given to me for my first e-mail adress and i've been using it ever since!

If you like Towelie, why do you have a picture of Rock Lee for your avatar instead of him? Jus' wonderin'

I remember that unless it's someone else I'm thinking about.

Well mine is made from a name i fashioned for myself : Skyler Dawnscene but later when i registered for Fakku! account i put 998 instead cuz it makes my user name looked a bit awkward but now i got another one named : Xelqua Exiled, Xelqua is a name only but i relate it to death so now is like Exiled Death. Pretty dark nickname for myself cuz of Persona 3 teachings..

Well I used to go by Ender (you know of Ender's game) but, I thought it was a bit non-fitting for certain things and somewhat likely that other people would use it as well ( and that thought was BEFORE all this Ender's Shadow stuff). So I decided I'd pick a name from my favorite RPG of all time: Xenogears. Then I thought to myself that not many of the names of the main characters suited me and then thought to myself (something like) "Hmmm, Ramsus is a cool name and it'd be pretty funny to go by the name of a ineffective villain." Though sometimes I go by Miang (also from Xenogears) if I'm making a second character or a female character for something....or I just feel like pretending I'm a girl somewhere.

I had a dream about a man called Pentryn, thats how it really came about.
But The whole reason of having a online name is to hide your identity and because people now know my online name is Pentryn i am using a different name. I now get called Pentryn by almost everyone i know, and if i meet any new people while im around my friends i have given up on saying
"Hey my names tom" (my name is not tom by the way)
now i just say
"Hey you can call me Pentryn"
Unless I'm in a work interview etc

I mainly choose aumynus because I've been using it for quite awile, I forget the exact line of events that lead up to it, but the name is a variation of the word ominous.

As for my avatar, that's a picture that someone drew for me that is supposed to look like me, but in "anime" form.

my first username was just too horribly nooby, it was Mitchell89, so just name with birthyear, after a while I started to hate the name so thought it was about time to change usernames.

it was around the time when I has Anime-Sensei running for a few months and some regular visitors were coming asking me all kinds of stuff, and I had a friend with who I e-mailed daily. I teached them all alot of things so 1 day my friend said something like "thanks mitchell-sensei" and I thought it sounded pretty good, but I didn't wanted to be remembered of that nooby name so I just picked Sensei, but only Sensei is boring, so I added -kun behind it.

have been using it for some years now, and now I want to change usernames, but can't really, cuz I've used my username all over the net, so I gotta keep using it or I won't be able to log in on some sites after a while anymore cuz I'd keep getting the login info wrong xD

although lately I do have been using some new usernames in some games, just put the first 2 letters of the word of anime titles, so far I've Yusunoha and Kagilya xD
