origin of usernames

steven's a cool name and the name i was using on another gaming site.

snype was an aim sn i used for trolling purposes.
 
I was into this book series as a younger teenager, and so I molded my name after a leader's name (There is no Hawkstar in the series afaik). Unfortunately, it is also a name shared by role-players, so if you see someone posting something retarded with this name on another forum, it is not me.
 
Any form of the word legitimate was by far the most popular word or phrase at my school. I eventually came up with complete legitimacy and I really like it. All of my alts have some form of the word in them. An alt I really like is too legit to quit, even though I won't ever change my username to that.
 
Well, I have used the username ryanknight717 on alot of other websites, so I decided to take the Knight theme of it. With that, I went with a "Knights of the Round Table" or the "Knights who say Ni", but decided to replace it with Wario Land, a game I was playing at the time.

I still think I have one of the longer usernames on here.
 
I had a really retarded username when I joined Smogon two years ago, so I decided to change it to something less retarded. I chose Limewire because my classmates regarded me as the local tech geek and always nagged me when they had computer problems or needed help pirating stuff.
 
I started out as Bestow3000 on YouTube and at that time I really don't know what to put as my username, so I randomly put Bestow and a 3000 and there ya go. The name is weird at first but soon I liked it and grows into me. After that I had to make Bestow5000 due to copyright stuff so there ya go. XD
 
Mines basically an adaptation of my surname, which is Dorricott. It's never been easy for anyone (patricularly telesales) to spell, and one day we got a letter to a "Mr Dozzicott" I dropped the end as it was near my brothers nickname "Dorzey" and it's stuck since then.
 
One time I didn't sleep for a while and then I changed my name to nada somos and wrote "I'm Not" on a lot of my shirts
Also, my bff Pill gave me a little clay skull that had "Nada Somos" written on the forehead.
Nada somos means something along the lines of "we are nothing" in Spanish, which is rly gay.
 
Used to be really into greek mythology, so i was looking through cool greek names since my name at the time was SuperTroll10 and i kinda wanted something more official sounding than that lol.
Eos isnt exactly the manliest name. It's the greek goddess of dawn. However, at the time I didnt really care. I just wanted something that sounded cool and it stuck.

So yeah, my name isnt based off of eo ut mortus haha
 
I remember having read the word Solace in a book at one point, and just liked the way it sounded. It means "comfort in times of disappointment", which I thought was cute so the name stuck and I decided to make that my Smogon username.
 
I've actually had a few people ask me this, so i'd better clarify. Nightmare Jigglypuff originates from Super Smash Bros Melee. Jigglypuff is a pretty good joke character in it so i played as her (Which reminds me, i'm a dude.) i was pretty good at it, so i tacked Nightmare at the beginning of it and started my bold trek into the internet.

And that's it.
 
i like to think yours is either the cynic album or the dutch prog band.

my name used to be tanzaufdemvulkan which is a very good song by megaherz, but i changed it to tea_demon because i really like tea and i am not entirely sure where the demon bit came from but i thought it sounded ridiculous so it was ok. it's in all caps i THINK because another username i used to use and am now very ashamed of (otaku-dono) was in all lower case and i decided to stick with the underscore just because.
 
I had just gotten into Final Fantasy through Dawn of Souls for the GBA when I decided to finally change my Netbattle name from "Ash". Ended up never playing another FF game after that, but I don't mind the name. It's good fun being called an asian and then putting up my best impression of one in TF2.
