I'm very curious about this: why did y'all pick the names you picked? :3


BlueRush: I like the color blue and I wanted it to be something fast... um. That's about it. ^_^;

SapphireAlchemist: Based on the OC.

FightAnyway: Originally, back when I was a lurker at the Shrine, my username was going to be BeratingDrapery. XD Then I thought that wasn't serious enough, and anyway it was too long. So I thought over every episode in my head, trying to come up with good lines, until I remembered Robin's great line, "Fight anyway." ^_^ So meaningful.

Anyway, I'm curious about you guys'. ^_^

GOLDENSAMA: Long, long ago, on The Digimon Experience Message Boards (now closed and dead... :/) the first online message board I joined, I was "GoldeneyeBR" -- on accounta I had just seen the movie Goldeneye, and my name is Brandon Rice, so... yeah, creative.

AFTER a while on them boards, people just started calling me Golden, as tis shorter than saying the whole thing. Then Raidex, the admin over there, made me a Moderator cause he was too busy to watch the place, and one of my friends added the "Sama" because of the Japanese term of respect and whatnot (yes, someone actually respected ME. That's amazing, isn't it? XD)

And... it just sorta stuck with me. So I just use "GoldenSama" whenever I join a new site.

KING SALAD: This is the name I go by in teh Harry Potter fan community (or at least I used to when I was involved in it more...) I was once head of a very large lurker group on the HP boards called the food lurkers. We each picked a character, and a food, and then a royal title. As I was the founder, I was "King Salad Ronnikins Weasley". XD I know, don't say a word about it. And ever since, King Salad has just stuck with me over there... even though all the other food lurkers have long since abandoned the HP boards during that time while they got all sucky and stupid...

I wanted it to be like sonicisahero or asupersonichero but those were to long so I just thought of a short name like sonicahero you get it ,it means he is ahero so I just came out with that. ^_^;

COJO: Long ago about a year actually, I joined a new basketball team. My coach every year gives nicknames to each and every member of the team, based on what they do. WEll on the basketball courts I am an animal. I go psycho and get very compettitive. Than becauseof me being an animal, and the fact that my name is suited for it, I got the nickname Cojo: The animal. MY name goes COle JOhnson so it suits.

Coojie Woojie: Lets not go there. EVER!

Sometimes you'll see Cojo Fett. As in like JANGO and BOBA Fett. Just sortof an Oc I made. Really tough, no ones a better bounty hunter. Period. I wanted to use him in Secret Wars 2 but I thought he would be too good.

I have more if you want me to go on. Like ROWEN or Z.

The very first Message Board I ever joined was Megchan's Digimon Sekai (which I'm pretty sure is dead now), and during that time I was really into the Dark Masters. I wanted to have a name having some sort of a connection to Piedmon, but I wanted to be creative. So I turned to another evil clown for inspiration... The Joker! So, Batman's arch-nemesis' nickname became my username, and has been for several years... holy crap, I've gotten old... :( That was way back when the first season of the Digimon cartoon had "new" episodes. Well, new back then. Also, back then I actually was still a kid and not just an adult that looks like one. x_o I got pulled over in Texas at midnight because of a strict curfue law! Why does everybody think I'm 15?!! *ahem* Sorry, now I'm rambling. ^_^;

Awww come on coojie it's not THAT bad ^-^ It's adorable XD XD


hmmm

Angel_Star: (Mystic Fourms) I mostly got that because I was (and still am* obsessed with Angelic Layer. Usually before each fighters *Angel* name the user says Angel. (ie: Angel Hikaru was Misaki's angel). Star came from the idea that Angel would be a pretty name to have ^^

Jade_Princess: (R/S Shrine)Well Jade is the prettiest stoneI have ever seen and Princess....well I wanted to be a princess XD

Sakura_blossom (E-mail)Well Sakura is the japanese word for cherry blossoms and that is the fist thing I want to see when I return to Japan. It was a few days later when I realized my user name ment Cherry blossoms blossom (^^; )

Crystal Rose: (Hogwarts RPG and SRB here of course) The reason why I picked this is because this is what I want to name (First and middle name) my kid XD yes yes Im thinking WAY ahead, but it's pretty none the less. Also because I have a bunch of roses in my house made out of Swavorski Crystal

Celest: Based on my OC that you will all soon see on SW2

Amy: My friends call me this online from school because
1. Im obsessed with Sonic
2.I wear more pink than humanly possible
3. Im constantly chasing a guy that wants nothing to do with me XD really I am

Like no one calls me Brittany anymore and I am HAPPY with it XD

ShimiKimi: Joha called me that once, and it just stuck. XD I even named meh PB account that. XD

Kimster: Joha called meh that too. I think it was because she could see a street sign from her house that read "Kimster", and she started calling meh that.

Super Kimi: XD Joke I made with Rice in a chat session. I'm not possitive of who came up with Wonder Sama, but it was Rice's idea that he be teh side kick. XD

THat's was people call me on a regular basis, but I have plenty more nicknames.

AGodofIrony I named myself here is because I learned of this place from GoldenSama, while reading a fic from him, so I decided to keep that name.
I choose that name for fanfiction.net because my family and I will explain bad bits of irony on "The Gods of Irony." So I named myself after that.

just-a-little-insane is a VERY old name I no longer use, and I used to have it on an old chat site. I believe this characters creations came from when I was six, by a super hero I created called "Crazy Guy", who wielded a gun (A small plastic toy water gun) with a LOT of power, and that probably sparked the Plasma Gun insane here uses.

Other names for fan characters I use, most of the time I'll look up a word in the thesaurus. Example, I have a character who uses electricity, and I looked that up, saw galvanize, and called my character Galv. Sometimes I'll put two words together. The example there is Chatrol, a Sonic OC, which you can see more of if you go the the Fic thread I started...Which is short for CHAos conTROL. See?

Way back when I joined my first messageboard (OCReMix's boards) I picked Wavebuster as my name, because I really liked the Metroid games, and I really liked the Wavebuster beam/attack thingy (even if it eats through missles like crazy), and I thought it would be a good name. Fast forward to when I decided to join my third messageboard (the old proboards TRS), I decided to change up my name, but still wanted to pay homage to the Metroid series, so I took Phazon (the radioactive purple goo from both Metroid Prime games), and added "Dark" in front of it in order to make it sound cooler. I have also changed my name temporarily to "Light Phazon," and have also added "395" (my two favorite numbers, 3 and 95) on to my name at times.

Another name I occasionally use is "Azuron," which is an adaptation of Azure, from Azure Lake Zone in Sonic 3.

"Ginko" comes from a character in a video game. The game is Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and it's quite good. It's only available in Japanese, although there is a translation online that you can read while you play if you don't know Japanese. Also, Revelations: Persona and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (my favorite of the series) ARE available in English, and I highly recommend them.

Anyhow, Ginko is Lisa Silverman's nickname. Lisa is a blond-haired, blue-eyed American, but she was born and raised in Japan. Thanks to her Japanophile father, who was based on Steven Segall, she can only speak Japanese. This causes some major identity issues for her.

I don't have those issues myself, but I liked the character, so I use her nickname as my nickname on most message boards.

((By the way, my icon comes from Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, and it's my favorite character. But her name is Ulala, and I'd rather not have that as an alias.))

Pokol Da'Erran is my REAL name. (Well, now at least. It was originally the name of my Pikachu char in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and I decided I preferred it over my parent given name.)

Sammy-Star: Well, it's kinda a self nickname. Since my sister is going away to college and majors in different things, my mom like to praise my for my (quote un-quote) "amazing art skills" and my "great voice". personally i don't think i have that much of a great voice so she praises me more for my art. and again, since my sister is going away to college, i'm kinda like the star now.

Sammy: EVERYONE in the entire world that knows me calls me Sammy. After putting it on my papers in 7th grade and my teachers calling it out, everyone would call me Sammy because that's what the teachers called me. (alt. spellings: Sami, Sammi)

Sammy-Boo: i kinda like this name. my mom has it set for me on her cell-phone. it's embarrassing though 'cuz she calls me that infront of my friends.<_<

Samsonite: my parents decided that since my name was "Samantha" they'd call me "Samsonite" like the electronics company just to be "funny"... I hate this name too.

and finally the name i take the least kindly too,
Sam-Sam: my old neighbor's mom used to call me this. and she still does. i don't know what i hate it so much... but i just do.

Theloveyoumakeistheloveyoutake: I wanted a long name so I stood out from other members and I was thinking of the song at the time and I'm a big beatles fan so I named it that.

KJfox: This is a name most people gave me since my name was Kevin Jordan and people thought I would do anything and I was sly enough to get away from it as a fox.

KKfirefox: Well, my full name is Kevin Jordan Krejci and I liked using fire fox.

KS diamond: (Sonic factory which I don't go to anymore) This was a name people gave me cause people wanted to call me diamond for some reason and I had a fan character called sting so I made it Kevin and Sting.

kjfox.kevin: (Email) I wanted it to be kjfox but it was too short so I put my name at the end of it

I knew it! I just had a feeling that was familiar! Anywho, here we go.

ChaosHalberd750:I was thinking about the Dynasty Warriors weapon, and one was "Chaos" and a frquently used weapon is a Halberd, and the 750, is a product of my wandering mind.

Sharingan12-Gmail:Addicted to Naruto at the time, now, not as much, but, still a fan.

Sharingan12-DA: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SlimSKim13-Youtube:.....Yet another product of my wandering mind.

HellAvatar: A rather funny story, actually. The first time I ever used this nickname was when I entered a random forum on technical discussion, specifically made for ASUS Motherboard users. I was currently having a problem with my PC and I chose out the most random nickname I could. So, HellAvatar was born, which later was a good enough nickname, in my opinion, to use in other forum boards. The reason it STUCK, however, was because one of the forumers was abbreviating my nickname as HA, which as you can see can be mistaken for a short laugh. Aaaah, the good ole days...

HAtheFlantom: This particular name sprung from this very rapid board. HA the Flantom is apparently my alter-ego in the SK&WS world, and quite a badass alter-ego at that. Who knew one could train a giant leech to be so... So... What's the word... Cuddly? Doesn't seem right for some reason though...

Saifer/DarkLordSaifer: My pride and joy, the character which I have evolved over the years to be pretty much the ultimate badass. A Deus Ex Machina type character, this guy is used in those roleplays where you know the players will not godmod on purpose EVER, but allow a LOT of slack in the badass department. Saifer Tel'Tyr, or Sai as most call him, is a fledgeling divinity of evil power, and acts like a complete and total ass. His biography is quite extensive so I won't post that HERE, but this is the nickname or username I like to use the most.

LaughingDead: A nickname that is pretty much self-explanatory. This one was used back in the days when I was a heavy Teen Titans fan before the show neutered itself. I started off as LaughingDead at one point, but then changed my nickname to HellAvatar, and stuck with it.

DestyNova: The name I go by in most internet client chatrooms, such as ICQ and MSN. Desty Nova is probably my second most favorite character, ported from the Battle Angel Alita manga and modified by the mind of yours truly. Desty Nova is an eccentric, flan-loving, ethics-skirting insane genius who is technologically ahead of pretty much everybody in the galaxy by a few hundred, if not thousand, years. A favorite of mine, since I also like to behave like a crazy genius and live up to it at times.

TinmanTI... hmm...

Well, I first got that name 'Tinman' from a bad anagram of my real name, which is Martin. My friend wrote 'Tinman' in a birthday card one year. When I asked him why he had wrote tinman, he told me it was an anagram of my name. It wasn't... but the name seemed to stick somehow.

Then, the 'TI' part are the first two letters from another part of the name... some of my friends believed that I was actually a super hero who went by the name 'Tinman the Invincible'.

Yeah, and that's how the name 'Tinman' came around really :heh:

Anyways, now you guys also know my REAL name aswell. Call me it if ya want, but most people call me Tinman anyway ^_^'

I'm evil, and I'm a spritist. What else is there to say?

The origin of my username....hmmm..

Knucxsonia (Here, Quizzila, and Deviantart): Well, I support Knuckles X Sonia. I called it Knucsonia.....but when I got my username, I put an "x" in there. Now, my nickname here is KxS....because of the "x" in the middle.

rednascar01 (Yahoo!): My fave color was red, I LOVED NASCAR, and Mark Martin was in the 01 car that year, so, I mixed it all up, and here it is! Rednascar01.

KxS_Custard-I (MSN): I decided to name this after my new SK&WS character! Is there more to add to that?

That doesn't explain Froot Loop.
*thinks up possible explanation*
*cringes*

Oh Yeah! Fruit Loop!


My first post here......was a Fruit Loop song. I was singing it all day that day.......and this is my first forum, so I had no idea what to say....so I sung my made up Fruit Loop song XD.

At least I don't sing it that often ^v^

Alrighty, let's see... Going back through my history...

Lastride829: My very first screenname, back when I got started on the net in, like, 2003. It's a reference to WWE wrestler, The Undertaker, and his finishing move at the time. (Yes. I actually used to be quite the wrestling fan. Nowadays, though, I just play the videogames.)

Deadman829: The "evolved" version of the above, if you will. I used this one up until 2005. Basically, "Deadman" just sounded cooler, and made more sense.

JesusFreak829/11: I used this name from late 2005 up until late 2006. Kinda self-explanatory, eh?

JF11: My now-famous Youtube name. A shortened version of the above. I didn't use the full version, since I didn't think I'd be using that account to post videos.

BHatfield29/21/41: Used as an alternate during the Jesusfreak days.

Avenger29/41/39: And here we are. My longest running screenname, and the one that, honestly, represents me the best, for reasons I'm sure are well known around here by now. This will more than likely be my final username.

Saiyavenger: My current alternate name. I created it to pay tribute to Gohan and Videl, as well as to separate myself from the other "Avenger"s on the internet.

Ah, I guess I'll add my names to the archives as well....

Tazzy Porqupine (SRB)- Well, in middle school, my nickname was Tazz, because apparently I was a hyper little child back in those days. The extra 'z' was added to 'Taz' 'cause 'I was a girl and girls are different'. XD Ah, 6th grade logic.

But anyway, later on I decided that Tazz could be an adjective as well as a noun, and thus 'Tazzy' was born. 'Porqupine' was added at the end 'cause at the time of this account's creation, I was fascinated with porcupines. However, I couldn't remember how to spell porcupine, so, instead of going to Google and spell checking it like a good girl, I just sounded it out. XD And y'know, even with sounding it out, it should have come out 'Porcupine', but my mind said "OH, 'cu' sounds like 'q', so 'porcupine' must be spelled with 'qu' in the middle! 8D" XD Whoops.

Flashofmauve (DA, Tegaki E)- Eh, I like "The Phantom of the Opera", and my favorite song is "Masquerade". 'Flash of mauve' is the first line of the...second verse? Depends on if you count the conversation in the beginning as the first verse.

Orangerine/Orangerinefruit (email and various other sites)- Just a fun combination of 'orange' and 'tangerine'. Whenever 'Orangerine' is already taken, I sometimes go to 'Orangerinefruit' or some other username.

Okay, my initials are A and W right? I like root beer so A&W Root Beer seemed to fit me.

I took out the "o"s and the "&" and thats how I got AWrtbeer


mmmm... root beer

Is this true? I thought your name had something to do with art...I'm not really a root beer guy myself, I prefer water.

Dark Phazon figured it out on the "Notification of Abscence" (or whatever) thread.

Mmmmmmm.....roooooot beeeeeer.

Hey, isn't cousin Blake still a root beer freak, Spritest?

Shadow_of_Link4: Shadow = favorite Sonic character at time
Link = first fan character, yes ripped off of Link from LoZ who was my idol at da time ^^D
4 = favorite number.
Nick.com username forever ago.

Greenfire8484: Well, let's make this one easy.
Me: Hey, I finished my drawing--WAIT WHERE'S THE RED CRAYON
Friend: Why do you need it?
Me: I DREW FIRE. AND I NEED RED.
Friend: *throws green crayon at me* Greenfire. Make it green.
Me: Greeeeeeeeeenfiiiiiiiiiiiire 8D *writes greenfire at the bottom*
LATER
Me: *making Nick.com username AGAIN* Greenfire.... 4... no... double it... 8... then 4... then 84 8D

The Keyblade Knight:
Me: Keyblade wars. Ohmigawsh
Friend: I'm a Keyblade Knight 8D
Me: Me too ^^D

Swordsman of the Azure Flame: *reading .hack* I wouldn't be in da Azure Sky.... I'd be... the Azure Flame.... yeaahhhhhhhhh

Azure: Shortened version of that XD

Pop-Punk: Favorite music genre, real-life nickname.

So there ya go.

It was the name of my hero on City of /heroes, fun game. ^_^

Well I guess I will start with my user name "Jester King of Mayhem". Well Spoony and I are like a ying yang. Not that we are different, on the contrary we are very much similar in a lot of ways. The only differences are physical. We look like we would belong on two different ends of the spectrum. So as we both like ALLOT of the same things and joke around, especially with Dragon Ball Z dubbing, our names are similar yet deal with different things. Spoony clowns around while I make stupid jokes. Thus he is the Clown Prince of Crime and I am the Jester King of Mayhem.

Now for my super charged grey hedgehog, Eclipse. Or Cosmo Star Eclipse. I decided to name him this because I am extremely interested in space and cosmic happenings. Though some people might think I stole the first name from Fairly Odd Parents, but I didn't. Cosmo is like Cosmic. Star because, well I love Star Wars. And Eclipse because, like the extreme difference between a solar and lunar eclipse, Cosmo undergoes an extreme change due to unfortunate events.

And that's me... or at least my character names.

hi (geez i havent been on here in forever) my name came from a character i made up for a fanfiction. it was a sonic characterm which i now notice is similar to silver...odd o.o

I've been drawing Sonic for 5 years. :Sonic:

Josh

Mine came from Decimus. Decimic is what my fan character was named. The "real" was when someone impersonated me.

Tecton Industries:

Basically, a company rules the entire galaxy. Tecton Industries. I has the name of a galactic ruler.

I got my name from my OC Delilah Fura the hedgehog.Not much of a backstory so,ya.

I can't really remember why I got mine =s
