Why did you pick your name?

[the_s_rabbit]

The s is short for "satanic." In college, I drew a picture of a rabbit with buck teeth, angry eyebrows, and a devil tail. I thought it was funny. I was inspired by the evil rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

That's why.

 

[Hello Spider Mate]

Hello Mate.

 

[Pyropyro]

It's from the scientific names of the microbes that I'm fond of.

 

[MizKodomo]

My Username has evolved over the years, From the full MizuKodomo to Mizuko, and now MizKodomo. I gave myself that name in 4th grade. "Water Child"- in retrospect, it's incredibly cheesy, but it's hard name for me to forget.

 

[BridgeOfSighs]

Not entirely sure.

I'll probably regret it in a week.

 

[AkaruiRain]

I have like, 3 usernames. Each has their own function.

AkaruiRain? Because Akarui= bright, and rain= rain. I love rain and I love Japanese as close as I can get to it, always found rain and gloomy weather refreshing, so to me, it is bright. Plus, the mix of Japanese words and American is pretty complimentary of my life, the willingness to combine both, but the awkwardness and almost incapability of doing it. <3

 

[Twn]

I use this name a lot online. I decided to be as unoriginal as possible.

The first letter stands for my first name, the second my adopted last name, and the last letter stands for the last name I was born with.

I stopped trying to be a smart assed intellectual when it came to screen names awhile ago.

I like my name better than random words describing my personality.

 

[serh]

Half of my first name + one letter from my last name. I don't really like to go for usernames that have a deep meaning, besides, this one is rarely used and relatively short.

 

[snafupants]

Your name must be Sergio! As you can readily see, I actually prefer a name with some élan and intellectual clout, a name which really makes you think, you know?

Close, It's Serge.
Actually, one of the reasons I don't like to pick complicating usernames is because people constantly ask what should that mean.

Hey, that's not really half of your first name! Half of six is three! You use three of five letters of your first name, therefore, you violate your conditions. Foul!

 

[serh]

Oh, but my conditions are satisfied. 5 / 2 = 2.5, and since I cannot apply arithmetical operations to a letter, it cannot be divided by half, thus the number of 2.5 is rounded half down.

Yeah, I'm not buying that shoddily revisionist logic. Perhaps you just should have selected a different phrasing. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

 

[BigApplePi]

When you round down you cut yourself off; it's better to round up to be well-rounded.

But if you live it up you won't live it down...

 

[Amagi82]

The ama-gi is the Sumerian Cuneiform word for "freedom from enslavement", and is the first written word known for that concept. I was also born in 1982, hence the '82'.

[Guess]

To leave you guessing...

 

[professorblack]

Someone once asked me if I would consider becoming a professor. Philosophy, specifically.
But I really don't have the patience to get that kind of status. It became sort of my Time Lord name, in my own mind.

And I go by Blackie many places.

 

[eagor]

a girl i liked gave me the nickname igor of the shepherds pie although she spelled it eagor

so now its my internet alias

 

[Chronomar]

Because when I changed it I was apparently short on creativity and/or my senses.

 

[MissionPossible]

My username is the way I have always viewed and lived my life. I decide what I want; point my nose in that direction and go; and just assume I'll get where I wanted to go. I don't say "I can't" or "I have no choice" or "they won't let me" or "I am unlucky". What I want is possible when I am resourceful, determined, and secure.

I really appreciate people with an attitude like that. It's too easy for people to be drawn into the negative.

[Bus]

I drive my college's shuttle routes for a living and so I felt the name was a natural go-to. What's more interesting though is why I didn't choose a
1.)Japanese word or phrase - I actually respect the culture 2.)a cooler name- I'm just not that cool 3.)multisyllable name- not enough of a challenge to score on the interweb machine

I like your logic

 

[sandyhands]

Because I like going to the beach and getting sandy hands and feeling the sand on my hands. n___n


also I bet this is going to really annoy some people, but it'd be awesome if you guys could take a look at this and possibly vote if you like my essay. It's a very short essay for a scholarship contest.

[kora]

my real name is Higgins, the higs particle is also called the "god particle" so I thought it to be apropriate.

 

[Urraco]

It's the masculine form of the Spanish word for magpie, a bird that I love that many hate. I love that color scheme, and birds/"airy" things in general. Plus they're related to crows and they like pretty objects..I feel it represents me when I'm going through intricate thought processes but "oooo shiny shiny oooo" pops up.

 

[nami_kaze]

Hi, folks I used to confuse choosing username.

I never use my real name because it always have been used already.

but amongst all, I try my username now as my 1st priority after my real name because I like a Japanese manga character with this name.

 

[Code_Name_Ozz]

Ozz was my radio call sign when I deployed to the middle east.

 

[Atom]

Atom represents the single atom, a solitary "being" that occasionally forms bonds with other travelers. The electron shell is my social self that presents itself to others. My inner self is the nucleus, removed from the outer world, deep in thought.

That and I love science. Particle physics gives me a hadron.

 

[Solitaire U.]

Ripped from Solitaire Unraveling, a song by Mushroomhead. I shortened it to Solitaire U. in an attempt to disguise the fact that I wasn't creative enough to come up with anything better than someone else's song title.

 

[MissQuote]

I don't like my user name at all. It annoys me.

It is supposed to be a pun, being female and my tendency to forget who it is I am citing, what exactly they said et cetera. The tendency to paraphrase and have no commitment over who it was that said that first.

 

[Shadowtree]

Actually, now that you explained it I kinda like it.

Shadowtree. I've always used it since I was 12. It was originally the name I made up for my main Character in an online game and it just that Character's class so well and sounded creative enough to stick. I use it for nearly everything online. Expect professionally of course.

 

[Sigma Octantis]

Sigma Octantis is the name of the southern star.

for centuries, eyes were focused on it in the night as their guiding light.

 

[DetachedRetina]

I guess I never posted on here, or maybe I did when it was "a detached retina."

Seems pretty obvious though. Simple joke. A "cold observer" Though probably not as accurate as I once thought. Tired of the name now.

 

[SollessEagle]

I chose my name because of its triple meaning. The eagle is my favorite animal and I feel that I have many traits that are similar to it. As far as animals go I relate to eagles the most. My username of choice is usually Black Eagle, but its usually taken, that's why SollessEagle works so well. I will explain all three meanings:

"Sol" LessEagle: As in sunless, dark, its a cryptitic way of saying Black Eagle

"Soul" LessEagle: Self explanitory, I feel cold and soul-less sometimes, so it fits.

"Solace" Eagle: I can be peaceful and reserved, I can be the calm in the storm.

I think its pretty clever, I like my username a great deal.

 

[Dragonmythos]

I absolutely LOVE dragons and am fascinated by Lovecraftian tales of unspeakable evil and horror.

 

[pernoctator]

It came from browsing the grandiloquent dictionary.

 

[KarlPilkington]

I am him.

 

[Pizzabeak]

I don't know.

 

[Vidi]

I am him.

you look somewhat changed... Red hair doesn't suit you.




Suddenly I've realized, I've sinned. INTP's are not supposed to state the obvious.

 

[Vidi]

From Latin: Veni, vidi, vici - I came, I saw, I conquered. I believe 'Vici' is one action too far, sightseeing should suffice, therefore it had to be 'Vidi'. I am a pacifist

 

[Anamnesis]

It was an Ergo Proxy episode title that stuck with me.

 

[lungs]

i was listening to a florence and the machine album that im not even really into. between two lungs.

 

[RockinLollipop]

Because.... Lollipop. And adjective. I've also been known to use KillerMarshmallow. Because.... Marshmallow. And adjective.

 

[Owl of Minerva]

A Hegel reference, I like Hegel.

 

[Prometheus]

I was actually shocked this name was available! Being INTP's if we don't know who Prometheus is, then really I pity you.

My son had a few friends over back in the Reflex days and I kept making fun of their made up names, characters, etc... little 12 year old squeakers trying to sound cool. When they made me play for the first time, they set the profile up as FATHER... just kinda stuck.
