Social Where is your nick from?

[Le Don]

Cool thread, my turn now :

Some people know me from the time when my name was D_C_T_D ( DonCocoTheDwarf / DonColombusTheDrake ), my old name on the internet / on games that I used to play like MC ( revive The Hive :pensive: :fist: ).
Coco is one of IRL nickname and Dwarf because I've always been like them : I wasn't ( I'm still not kekw ) very tall and I was stingy
I always had an obsession ( mostly because I'm a history enthusiat ) by the spanish title " Don " and by the navigator Christopher Columbus so I mixed both and it became Don Colombus ( o > u because it's " Christophe Colomb " in french lol ); Drake in reference to the dragons and to the Green Earth Navy CO from Advance Wars named Drake.
It became Le Don mostly because it's shorter and also because I wanted to change.

 

[Lasen]

I wasn't ( I'm still not kekw )

It became Le Don mostly because it's shorter

I see a pattern

 

[AtlasNeo]

King Neodude is a weird name for me. It started off as a bit but for a lack of a better name I just stuck with it. It was basically the name of a low quality laughing emoji.

If I had to change my name to something which I'm considering, it'd be most likely be a character from Final Fantasy 13, Orphan, or maybe something from Greek mythology (Thanks Siegfried for further enabling this)

 

[SpyderMarz]

I loved spider man as a kid, so i replaced the "man' with parts of my name, added the y and z cuz it's just cool, and 5/11 is my birthday.

 

[ToroZuzu]

reference to the PokéSpe manga

 

[RainWaiv]

My nickname was based off of a specific item from a semi-popular roblox game about 7-8 years ago and it just kinda stuck. I was gonna use the original name word for word but it was taken so I had to change the last two letters.

 

[Le'Depression]

i was going through it 2018-2020, thus the name. i dont completely remember but i suppose the le part was just younger me trying to make light of a bad situation? i eventually got better but the name stuck bc a) every cool name i would wanna namechange to is old and taken and b) the name has stuck by now due to how many platforms i use it on/how many cute lil nicknames ppl have made for it (i assume any new idea i'd have for a name would be hard to get used to in that regard)

 

[woo]

[TheShield]

Shields. Simple as that Lol

 

[saberslasher11]

I have 0 idea why i named myself this

 

[woodgoldtwo]

when my younger brother created a minecraft account he generated a random username and got woodgoldone so when I made my minecraft account later I though it would be cute if we matched names and I’ve stuck with it ever since :]

 

[Eledyr]

Been using this name since I was like 10 or smth. Why? Because I found it cool. That's basically it

 

[tom holland]

tom holland nickname lore
Once upon a time, I was actually Sablexe. I thought I was so clever lmao I really liked sableye back then (my fave mon) so I just changed the y to x and that was that.

I left mons and rejoined years later and created a new account. I genuinely didn't realize at the time that I couldn't do that (oopsy) but anyways I picked tom holland because I had a gay crush on tom holland and thought it was a fun name. Eventually, I started playing PU during Sun and Moon era and actually got pretty good at PU. When I got to like round 5 or 6 of the PU open, everyone started accusing me of being and alt account so I fessed up to a moderator once I realized that was like, not allowed lmao. I got an infraction at the time but I was a good smogonite so all is well now, and i was lucky they let me keep this name. But yea that's my interesting nickname lore I thought I may as well dump the lore for those interested.

 

[yureion]

i explained here before my name here being a play on if they made a ghost evo eevee but my longest termed nickname with some friends was Subz or Subzi cus in 3rd grade a kid hit me with his backpack for helping my friend (a girl he liked) off the bus [theres always ice stepping out from the puddles where the busses park, anyone in cold winter climates know] and i just threw a block of broken ice back at him lol.
a play off sub zero from mortal kombat obviously lol.

 

[FireBlaze]

My First Fire Red, Run in 2019 My Charizard's name was FireBlaze, But that name was sadly taken, so I decided..hm..850, just a random number, it wasn't small, but it felt cool, So I kept it, Here we are today.

 

[s0liera]

I like the Ultra Recon Squad

That's it

lmao

 

[ULTRA SPACE JAM]

Joke about Ultra Space and Space Jam. I had gotten into USUM around the time the new Space Jam movie came out (I haven't watched either movie, for the record), and since I was at the point where you could finally go into Ultra Space... Well, everything started to click a little. I didn't really go around using it as a name until I made this account around 2 years after the fact. I honestly might go through with changing my name, though...

 

[tada]

mine is from the sound the windows alarm used to make

i learned something new today !

 

[Power Panpour]

Panpour was one of the first Pokémon I used in a playthrough. (Me and my brother were going to use all 3 monkeys, but we ditched Simisage a bit short of mid-game, and we dumped Simisage [edit: it was SimiSEAR] after Anistar City). I was 8, I thought the monkeys were cool.

Also unrelated, but our team also consisted of a level 7 Burmy for a bit cuz' my sister got into the boxes, put Burmy in our party, and me and my brother didn't know how to use the PC so we just kept a useless Burmy on our team for a good portion of the beginning of the game. I also have a weird liking for Burmy cuz' of that.

 

[historybowser]

i came up with the username bowserhistory (referencing the song Browser History by Graham Kartna) but when i wanted it on showdown it was taken, so i just swapped the word order. i use bowserhistory on a different platform though bc it wasn't taken

 

[igiveuponaname]

Tried a few usernames when first trying to make a showdown account and they were all already taken so I just gave up
