    I haven't posted my username history?
    (posted in old topic because Cahos linked to it recently :p)


    I have 3 names around the web

    1. Krusha - My oldest Nick, Afair i just randomly came up with it for some robot fighting game on miniclip MANY years ago :p It stuck
    2. PantaloonZ - Well, my mate has the nickname GloveZ because he always wears gloves, I chose PantZ for the irony (I dont usually wear pants)
    3.SoulSalmon - My most current one, I've had a recent thing for Salmon... I tend to go by any random S word and Salmon (SmokinSalmon, SchiefSalmon, etc)

    Natewlie A bag of tricks

  5. GoldenTalesGeek

    GoldenTalesGeek Well-Known Member

    I've already mentioned this in my intro, but I'll put it here anyway. The "Golden" part is an allusion to the Golden Sun series of RPGs, the "Tales" part is an allusion to the Tales of series. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of both of those series. The "Geek" part is basically my way of saying "Yes, I'm a geek, and proud of it! Got a problem with that?!". Plus, I like to think there's a big distinction between being a nerd and being a geek... ;D

    Well Geeks are seducted easily
    So, nothing about Torchwood in it?
     
  7. Suiseiseki

    Suiseiseki Well-Known Member

    I like Rozen Maiden. Hence the name.

    The Blitzen alias was adopted on IRC many a year ago, I doubt there are many people here who knew me from before that except for Natalie, LK and Void.
     
  8. GoldenTalesGeek

    GoldenTalesGeek Well-Known Member

    Nope. I just chose "Golden" and "Tales" because they seem to go hand in hand quite nicely. Never mind the fact that Motoi Sakuraba is composer for both of those series... ;D

    And yes, that's the only unfortunate thing about being a geek. We are pretty naïve and fairly easily seduced on occasion... ;)

    Mine is taken from some sort of spells from certain games...(that have giga,mega,super,hyper..)

    Fennyariel Well-Known Member

    Mine's from my high elf conjurer character in EQ and EQ II! ;v) Gods I wish I had a way to pay for it again! Unfortunately we handicappers can't have credit cards. *sighs
     
  13. Zeb

    Zeb Well-Known Member

    Zeb - shortened version of my last name, and since my suffix is the fifth it's what I'm usually called around the family to keep my grandfather, father and myself all seperated.

    This is also the second site I've ever managed to get this nick without adding extra crap to the end, so kudos RomU!
     
  14. alexong96

    alexong96 Well-Known Member

    Alex is my real name, while Ong is my surname. I chose 96 because I was born in 1996.
     
  15. forte_amirul

    forte_amirul Well-Known Member

    Mine was taken from Megaman E.x.E or Rockman E.x.E

    Forte in Japanese or Bass in English.

    Also,amirul was my name and in the first place I want to use only Forte but it seems that it's already have been taken.:p
     
  16. The_Fox

    The_Fox Well-Known Member

    >_>

    Mines an old nickname that was given to me.. 'Foxy' by my deaf nan, because I was a sly cunning little so-and-so. I like to think it's because I'm semi-intelligent, but that's my ego. However, when Foxy, people assume I'm a girl on IRC... which I'm not. So... ergo The_Fox

    I also use Renegade, because secretly on the side, I bloody hate rules :/ I'm also an Anarchistv >:D
     
  17. kryz

    kryz Well-Known Member

    mine just came from my name...(ee,)
     
  18. Rysio

    Rysio Well-Known Member

    It's my real life nick. Rysio is shortened version of Ryszard, and that would be Richard in english. Also, "ryś" is name of wild cat living in teritory of Poland, which is very close cousin of lynx.
    However, my true name and the cat have nothing to do with it.
     
  19. snebbers

    snebbers Well-Known Member

    My username is simply a play on my real life Name and Nickname, if anyone can guess. I'll give you a pat on the back.

    How do you use names if they're so secret?!
