Username Inspiration

[Rakkantekimusouka]

Just out of curiousity, how did you all come to choosing your usernames? Mine's the Japanese words rakkanteki "hopeful/optimistic" and musouka "dreamer", FYI.

Edit: Lately, I've been experimenting with different pics for my sig -- I had one like my avatar, but I wasn't happy with it, so I've been trying to find something a little bigger. Yeah, the first one I tried out after ditching the little gif was super-big ^_^;; I've since changed it. The thing is, I can't seem to find one that's of great quality but also within the size and KB limits...

[nightowl]

about 4-5 years ago when i was in 6th grade i used to stay up so late and i was sorta into animals at that time so i came up with "nightowl" This username has stuck onto me for years and for some reason i've always like it. *shrugs*

EDIT: O_O HOLY JEEBUS! that is one HUGE signature.

[Scwigglie]

:shock: Yah you need to make your sig a lot smaller. There's actually gonna be a rule about that.. When? Well, he didn't say. :P

Anyhoo, I was about 11 and was talking to someone online, and I tried to spell the word "squiggly".. and misspelled it terribly. Everyone laughed about it for a while, so it stuck. :lol:

[Ja_]

people call me ja cuz its cool and it mean juvenile alcoholic =)

[jacobo]

all day i dream about something

[MSG]

well it all started when i was a baby. Something plump, brown, and mushy came out of my rear end. Its been pOOp ever since.

[Wombat]

Well, my user name is really nerdy, but wombats are simply the coolest animals in the world, honest.
Look at it, look at its claws. He's mean, he'll take you down anytime. Honest.
And he's eating grass, he's a mean sucker alright.

[MSG]

Dude... wombat sounds like combat. You should put that as your custom title... seriously

[Wombat]

I'll get right on it p00pie :D
Hey, btw: your location says "1329", would that by any chance be 13W 29N, in Libya?! Just curious.

[MSG]

haha no its 'cause im the 1329th member... :P

[Khronos]

It's funny you should ask... I got mine perhaps by fate.

I looked through some ancient mythology sometime ago and found that name Khronos (Chronus, Kronos, etc). I used it for about a month and later went back to find out the meaining... Listen to this:

Khronos - The God of Time Creator of Existance
(Khronos is the biggest entity, its partner is Inevitability)

It just so happened that my main interest was on understanding existance, could this be a sign? :o

[dreamscape]

Well I started with specialedd101 which is from special ed of crank yankers. I had that one for awhile and even bought it here but then i changed it to dreamscape well because......um i really don't know why i changed it.

[gameover]

COntrary to what you may beleive my name did not come from videogames. Its the name of an Ozma song(they have recently borken up :( ) But Ive had this name so long on email and whatnot, so i use it everywhere. Plus I do like videogames a lot,a nd really dont play them anymore...so its gameover for me.

[Kanji]

Which one? Jin or Kanji?

[nightowl]

excellent pun :thumbup:

[OrangeStar]

I love stars and my favorite color is orange. I used it for a forum when I was a couple years ago, and it just stuck. I dont particularly like it but I cant think of anything else.

[gameover]

I really liek your name and look OrangeStar. The Orange star with the green rocks.

[WerBurN]

im boring...my real name is actually Werburn...a long time ago i was trying to create a name online and my friend said 'jus use your real name, nobody will have it...' so i did, but i thought it wasnt internety enough, so i capitalized the W B and N...making it WerBurN...unfortunately this makes many people see Burn as a seperate word and makes them want to capitalize the W and B only....GRRRR



...lol, i remember, when i was in third grade, my teacher was going down the attendence for the first time...she thought my name was mispelled...she was like "...Webbur? Weever? Wilbur?" and i was like "its pronounced where-burn" and she got all pissed at me, and refused to believe i could possibly have a name like that, and continued insisting it was misspelled...i had to get my parents in there to verify that it is in fact "where-burn"...after that she always just reffered to me by my last name...lol, silly old prude

[gameover]

What a messed up story. Youd think in her teaching days shed come across wierder names.

[Negaigoto]

Negaigoto {Japanese}: wish, dream, prayer, one's desire

Never be afraid to make a wish, dream forever, don't forget God, and desired by one, if that makes sense. I'm somebody, I'm nobody, anybody, everybody, but hopefully always loved by somebody.

[Kaniaz]

Khronos: How nice of you to choose the name of the man that ate all of his mother's babies and is now locked in the fiery pits of hell for all eternity. :) That's how the greek story goes.

Mine came out of thin air. TA-DA!

[Lomebririon]

From a very badass random name generator I use sometimes.

[Kaniaz]

More like spelling mistake generator if you ask me :P

[Seeker]

Seeker - That noun describes me best.

Wombat! I had a friend that had a racing bike. I think Hodaka created them? They had the 'Wombat' trail bike and the 'Combat Wombat' for racing. Yes, they are ferocius little buggers aren't they?

[Lomebririon]

Keep talking Kaniass... :-P

What's that? Can I hear the echo of a certain non-mod saying they like young boys in the near future? 8)

[Kaniaz]

We already know about FFX, Lomebririon.

king me.

[Lomebririon]

Wait a minute, my name isn't even a word for anything, how can it have spelling mistakes? :|

[CCHawk]

i came up with mine when i was just a wee lad... i'd always use it on my videogame files and such then. to come up with it i took the initials of my name and my full last name and changed them into a new, hip 8) username! My initials are CCH, the Hawk is derived from my last name.

[Aquanina]

Um...mine is self-explanatory unless you're a complete idiot. :D

[Rakkantekimusouka]

I was gonna use negaigoto -- but then I changed my mind. If that name had been taken, what one would you have chosen probably?

[Zaphod]

Got mine from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams... best book(s) ever!!

BTW, how the hell do you pronounce your username?

Lome(like rome)-bree--ree-eon?

[Negaigoto]

if you want to change it..just ask icedawg to modify it for you instead of making another username

[Scwigglie]

I like Negaigoto better.. :P the other one seems too long.

[GoldenSlumbers]

Golden Slumbers is a Beatles song that I love, thought it would kinda fit since this is a forum about dreams :D ... however my slumbers aren't so golden all the time...

Golden slumbers fill your eyes / Smiles awake you when you rise / Sleep pretty darling do not cry / And I will sing a lullabye
Had that as my sig but changed it to the Lain quote :)

Wooooooooot!!! :D :D :D Beatles are my all time favorite band. And they're special cuz I sort of "discovered" them on my own at a young age.. none of that "Well, since the cool people are listening to this music, I guess I'll go buy their CDs" played a part. ;)

[GoldenSlumbers]

yay :D I real genuine Beatles fan, so cool :)

[GoldenSlumbers]

Meant to say "A" not "I"

[Xisdence]

Xisdence = Exitence

Same word just spelt differently, has everyone known that that's my name, or they been mis-pronouncing it?

[Taosaur]

One night I was crashed on a friend's floor, letting my thoughts wander, right on the edge of sleep, and I was struck by this huge vision, this non-linear idea complex that just burbled out of my mind. I couldn't turn on the light without waking someone up, but I had a new notebook close at hand with a pencil, so I grabbed it and scrawled down one word in the dark to remember my vision--TAOSAUR

You still can't say it. By the sound of it, you're also still constipated. Who is Agony Aunt Agatha? Is she one of those columnists who insecure people write to tell half the country their problems?
