Choosing Your Online Alias

I was originally Counter_Guardian when I first signed up it was my alias on basically everything I played like Counter Strike, and even Shoddybattle. (not including the pokemon games cause I use my real name there besides CG wouldn't fit).

I'll be honest after a while I thought CG was a really stupid name so I started thinking of new ideas I first thought of things like "king, master, boss, assassin, killer, etc." but there were just so many users with names like those so I decided something unique, something no self-respecting individual would use and thus Servant was born.
 
I was often refered to as a "ninja" for my speed as well as ability to dodge in multiple schoolyard sports. I eventually earned the name "Nino" and I don't know why.

Weeks later, I was playing baseball. Here's the cool part. It was raining but we kept playing dispite league rules. My hit smacked against the rain and it made a long tail of water shott off the ball as it soared out of the field. I was told it looked like a dragon, and I applied that to "Nino." And here I am; Nindragon. :) My first homer will never be forgoten.
 
I got my name from my favorite mineral Ulexite. Take off the U and Lexite sounds pretty nice to me ;). Before I use to use the name Kyogre_Bird_Trainer (KBT) and Bird_Trainer_Ulexite (BTU) on Serebii but Im sticking with Lexite.
 
Well, considering that i have not missed a Packers game from the age of 6, have a Packers room, live in Green Bay, work at Laumbeau field, Have season tickets, and that I partially own the team, i'd say, hmm. What a good name. Displaying my love for the Green Bay Packers organization. GB_Packers_Ftw.
 
On some forum for Animal Crossing I used to go to, the forums got moved so everyone re-registered, so I knocked off some chick's (:naughty:) username of add+subtract and made true+false. Then I left the next day and came here, and I just used false, but I though it needed something more, so I added the {}'s. Now I usually go by himynameistroy or biovuac (misspelling of biouvac on purpose, so it would never be taken).
 
"John 12:3 Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment."



I was at church youth and this scripture was read. Nard is just a funny sounding word, so my girlfriend and I kinda made it an inside joke amongst our friends. I added another d on the end to make it slightly less silly. I know it's not the best handle out there, but it has some originality i guess.




calciphoce I enjoyed reading your explanation. I enjoyed howl's moving castle as well.
 
Allow me to delve into ancient history.

Way back when I was interested in ThePokeMasters Forums and I was really into the Pokemon TCG. My original name was DeckBuilder14. This was 8 years ago.

Somewhere along the way TPM shifted over to a new board and all of our named could be changed when we re-registered, and so I cut off the builder and just went with knight. I suppose it is now cliche, but thankfully "Knight" is a slightly less common attachment then "Dark" or "Shadow" or "Dragon."

I've had the handle for so long that I've never bothered to change it, and even though I don't really play the TCG anymore, it isn't like there are a whole lot of people dying to associate themselves with card games an chilvalrous codes simultaneously.

But it's short and memorable and on the whole not to horrible, so I think I'll keep it.
 
Through time, my name has stuck. But the origin of it is boring, really. It's a boring user name. I just like the nickname Anon. It sounds cool. >.>

In the first forums I ever joined, I was very nervous so I wanted to log on as Anonymous, but it wouldn't let me at some point. So I added 1 to the username just to make it. Then I kept using it for other forums, and then opened up to the Intarweb and yeah.

So, it's not for paranoia anymore, just continuity.
