Hey guys, I searched this and the last time this topic was posted upon was in August. If it is all right with you guys I would like to start the thread of where/how you came up with your username. If you believe this is an overdone topic than just don't post.

My username came from a misspelled character in a book I was reading. The character's name was Razvan and misspelled it and put it down as Razavn. I have never corrected the "mistake" and it is nice in the fact that it sound cool (relatively) and that I never have to worry about anyone else has the same username. So anyway what made you come up with your username?

A combination of Ultima Online, ICP records, and massive boredom at having an entire virtual world to only myself and even more free time than necessary to afford such.

my name was from an mmo that I haven't played for years. I wanted "Dark knight" or something like that without too many numbers so that's how i got mine.

Mine is pretty self explanatory. I am a communist, and I am a idealist. Makes sense.

My name is a literal faceroll on the keyboard while trying to figure out a name for Battle.net.

It's my gamer tag for me Xbox Account.

My favorite in-game phrase from my favorite game with my lucky number (9) on the end. Twice. For double the luck!

A nickname someone randomly gave me one day which sort of stuck. I've been using it as a username in most things ever since

It was a codename for a character in a novel I tried to write in high school. God I was nerdy then!

I used to go by the nickname Lone Wolf, because I liked wolves and I was a loner. (Goodness, how creative.) But once upon a time, I happened upon a laser-tag place and wanted to become a member. Sadly, Lone Wolf was taken. Stumped for an alternative, I looked over at their arcade machines, and saw X-Men vs. Street Fighter... featuring Rogue as one of the characters.

Honestly, I'm usually a lot more creative than that.

Yeah, I originally came up with Razavn for XBL, now I use it for every username (including the PSN and it is part of my e-mail address too).

I just read the writing on the walls.

I'm a freak. I wander.

Mine is completely made up and I really can't remember how I came up with it.

My name is my favorite rank and shape.... curve....thingy....

i like spirals.

Neon Genesis Evangelion :D

Kollega is the guy on my avatar. He appears in this cartoon. It's my favourite cartoon.

A name my friend invented for me maybe 7 years ago when we were deciding the names of our characters for Heroes of Might n Magic 3.
It kinda stuck and I haven't been able to think up a new one. (Plus I've gotten so used to this name that I can type it faster than my normal name, which as less letters)

Deadpool is awesome. Misspelling his name to create a username is almost as awesome...right?

A Gamertag generator related cock-up.

Edit: Oh wait, the one I use on here is just my username I made for Youtube when I was mesmerized Zelda TP.

I'm of Irish ancestory/heritage and I have the Berserkergang.

My name is a combination of my love of soups and that time I suplexed god.

Mine originates from latin. It means green. My username is "greenphalcon" and at some point I could only use the first half (name too long or something idk) but had the second half prepared. Sent "green" through various translators and latin had a cool sounding name.

Razavn:

Yeah I think srkkl is pretty stupid, it was actually a mistake because I was having trouble setting up my account and didn't expect it to cost 10 bucks to change so I put somthing random, I kept it because It's pretty damn original.

My name is Claire, i was named after the song Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy

I flipped through a dictionary one day and came across the word "scapegrace." Ever since, I wanted to use that word as a title. Then I threw in "scarlet" for alliteration.

Love Yuri and tend to add "Mistress" to various user names just for the sake of a naughty.

Mine's the title of a novella by Joseph Conrad. Good book, but it's incredibly dry to read.

Worgen means to strangle

We have been through this. You are just disguising the fact that you have a harry potter - dumbledore fetish.

OT: I'm boring. My last name is Heal.

Its latin.

For Insane.

'nuff said.

Sure it makes sense. To you.

Mama manaman played a big part in me picking a name.

Or I might have just picked something that I might have been using as a name since 1996. Or not.

My name is Kevin, and my favorite JRPG villain is Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. One of my friends called me Kevka one day, and I hugged him.

A rearrangement of my name that i was recorded under in my schools records. And i liked it so iv'e used it ever since.

I am from New Zealand - Kiwi
I am a male - Bloke
Combine the two and you get Kiwibloke
