Where's Your Name From

[Thorn]

Mods if you want to move this to games thats ok.
So where is your username from or how did you come up with it.
Mine is from a book called Eldest.

[Kuberr]

Wasnt there a thread for this already?

[1337m00nm4n]

1337- Because of the internet slang of 1337sp33k for elite.
m00n- 1337sp33k for moon, because my last name is Moon.
m4n- 1337sp33k for man, because I am a dude.

[Jenningst]

Mine is almost to elaborate to explain. It's my last name followed by the first letter of my first name. I know...creative.

There's one for "What card does you name link to?", but I don't think there's one about this.

[Silent1236]

I was playing Counter Strike many years ago and my mic broke, so I named myself Silent Turtle, and somewhere along the way, I dropped the Turtle and tacked 1236 on for a website since "Silent" was already used.

[GoJuDragon]

My dad made mine bout 9 years ago for my PSN. We did karate, a style from okinowa called gojuru. At the time I was obsessed with dragons, so he took the GoJu and added dragon so I was GoJuDragon. Been using the name almost ever since, however it's not my PSN anymore

[cltrn81]

My nickname in the Army was Coaltrain.....so cltrn is Coaltrain without vowels......and 81 is my birth year.  Surprisingly I have found this handle already in use in various websites requiring a user name.

[BlackJester]

I'm can't get BlackJester on twitter.  ;_;

[Gorzo]

Mine actually came from "The Onion."

Many years ago, I read one of their "articles" by a columnist under the name of "Gorzo the Mighty, Emperor of the Universe." an unusual piece of a mad emperor attempting to fend off his arch-nemesis, the hero Crash Comet. I laughed quite hard, and have honored the work by carrying the name since. If you're a fan of the Onion, look up the columnist. He's written 4 articles to date that I know of, all hilarious.

Edit: the picture I use is His Columnist self-portrait, btw. Solid gold.

[Mentonin]

One day I was just trying to get a name no one had and didn't involve numbers. I came up with some vowels, and all, till mentonin came up. I have never found it in any site, and I use it for mostly everything not serious

This made me think of gears of war haha

[Coffee Vampire]

I like to drink coffee. Because of this, some friends call me "Coffee" as a nickname. Of course, I am not coffee itself, but a Coffee Vampire. They used to be quite numerous, but now unfortunately I believe that I am the last Coffee Vampire. Hence my name.

[Sagemaster]

My name comes from my runescape account I just dropped the _4 from it
