I got my user name years ago.
I started playing runescape when it first became popular at my elementary school.
I didn't really know what a user name was, so I wanted to incorporate my own name.
My last name is Hamilton, so I looked at that.
Ham-il-ton.
Ham
Hmmmm, what to do with Ham?
Well, ham does come from pigs...
What if I was hammypig. No
How about Hammy the pig? Thats using my name (in short form) and giving it to a pig.
Even at that age, I saw the irony.
And so my user name is hammythepig for almost everything, expect X-box,
because my friend stole that name to annoy me, and he never uses it
