Why did you choose your username?

[Neopergoss]

Zerg + Protoss = Pergoss. Neo cause I made a new account, and that one stuck for some reason.

[Jangoo]

Fortunately, I wanted to keep all my account names consistent since 2 years ago - so I wouldn't get confused between them (Not that there were a lot of them, maybe 3?)
Unfortunately, the one I started with had the name DrunkDestroyer.

I must have thought it was a cool name at one point, but that time has long gone.
Now I'm sticking with more subtle and sophisticated names, like NukedDryRooster, and FatLikeYo'Momma!

(Ok,  If I could actually pick a new name, it would be something like: Nemesis, Forgotten, Obscure...something gloomy and depressing like that)

Ahahahaha ... my belly hurts. Gee this thread is old and long ... Destroyers post was ages ago.

A friend of mine once named himself "MyFather" in all sorts of forums. He was always hoping to be quoted ...

For me it was 4-5 years ago, I was with a friend and wanted to change my facebook name, but didnt think of anything good, all of a sudden my favourite murdered came into my mind, Jack the Ripper! so I thought Id make my name Jim the Ripper. But couldnt make that so I chose Jimmy Ripper. So when I found etg I tried to put the same username but it was taken, so I tought what the hell? dark ripper it is!

Your turn! 

[TStar]

My username is my real name in a sense.  I think a few of my contemporaries on here know the story.

[ARTHANASIOS]

My name is my real life name with an extra "R".

[Jacker77]

Randomly chose it. 7's my favourite number

[jarozaoz]

My nick is a combination of my abbreviated name in real life, and some random letters from my last name.

There is already a topic about this ("A thing about nicknames" iirc)

Anyway, I just put my names there.  (Iancu Dorin Marian)

Inded, but that thread is focused on how people call you, this thread is why you picked your username, and the story behind it^^

[dawn to dusk]

me in the past
Meh, this name doesn't sound crap. What's that? It's not taken? Sweet!

[Chapuz]

Opsinis made some time ago a thread called 'A thing about nicknames' in general discussion that was exactly this.

[Naesala]

One of my favorite characters from Fire Emblem. Naesala has been my handle since I first started doing online stuff (Naesala20 on Runescape, later Naesala on Kongregate and then Naesala or KingKilvas everywhere else). For the longest time he was my avatar too, but recently changed that to avoid gender confusion.
