   Topic: What's your username all about?Posted: 21 March 2008 at 3:59pm |

Why did you pick the username that you did? Did you feel random? Does it have any meaning?
Me, I picked greenraven because green is my favorite color, as if it was that hard to tell. And raven, because for some reason I had Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" stuck in my head at the time. |

I spent quite a long time using that username, untill I realized that people just called me Metaru. the name was easier to remember, didn't resemble any character from any game/anime, had some sort of japanese meaning -yet not confirmed-. and the best part: it lacks random numbers |

I like the tangent lines that connect the circles.
I then thought of a concept. Needing to use the bathroom, I thought about a Portable Outhouse that may be used for convenince. I liked the first letters of each word and I wished to keep those. Said unit would have a computer inside for my programming. Computer displays are made of pixels and so I thought that might make a good user name. However, our computers are more than just pixels. That said it would only surfice as part of a larger name. I'm a man who likes to challenge misnotions and do live in the northern United States. That being the case I felt that outlaw would also add some validity to my username. I then decided to use both words together Pixel and Outlaw. I had been programming for some time then and I wanted to make note of that too. I choose the common practice of separating multi word variables with a "_" since one cannot have spaces in their variable declarations while programming.
Hence "Pixel_Outlaw"
I should make a n00b name generator
the common method is
"color" + "fictional character or anime character" + "2-3 digit number"

My nickname has always been "Rusty", or close variants of, due to my being a member of the Ginger race.
I tried to enter "rust" as my user name, but my dyslexia got the better of me, and so I am as you find me to this day. |

Aleiav is my online alias. I got it from one of my favorite fonts, Aleia. But I didn't want to use just that because I didn't want it to be exactly like Aaliyah so I added a V at the end.

I've been labelled Ginger since no later than the day my slow intellectual development was sufficiently progressed that I could understand speech, long before the advent of South Park.

It comes from lolligeboy. Lollig means Funny in Dutch, and lollige makes: The funny. In this case, the funny boy..
well I am not that funny.. Extended version of this story can be found in the oT Thread. Now start discussing about if it sounds girly or not ;) |

I used to play ultima online and that was one of the first message boards I signed up for, one of my characters was a carpenter and I'm not the sanest guy around and psychotic_carpenter was too long and wouldn't fit so I shortened it to carp to make people think I was talking about a fish!

I was an electrician long ago when I first got signed on to the internet. Since I was an internet n00b, I started out with AOL. While trying to find a username for my shiny new AOL email address, I found that there were a lot of AOL'ers online already so I was unsuccessful with just about every manner of conventional name I could come up with. I decided to go with electrical nicknames since they might be more rare, but still no dice. Then I just started naming some off electrical terms in my head and mixing them up a bit. A mixture of Ohms and Megavolt produced Omegavolt. It worked! And its rare enough that it works in everything I sign up for.

When I was 11-12 I saw some sonic sprites and you know they all have names like ''johnny the badger'' or ''kiraki the hedgehog'',so I decided to make my own sonic character named:Reo the fox!!Then after a while I really started to hate ''the fox''part so I went with just Reo after that.
Now Reo has become Reozaki,its a mix between Reo and ryuzaki(after L's fake name in Death note). |

Zephiel is a character from Fire Emblem, though mostly I just liked the name.
87 had like 5 different meanings at the time, only ones I remember now is that it was the year the Zelda series originated, and it made me look 2 years older (14 or so when I started using it). though I've been shortening it to Zeph quite a bit lately. |

Rathcrosse-Justin3009: Rathcrosse is my friends name on a few sites...No idea there. Justin3009 is pretty much obvious. Justin is my name so that's right there. my first e-mail was justin3007 because I was trying to enter Justin as an e-mail (Yea I was 9, I had no idea) and it was taken so it gave me alternatives and I thought 3007 was a nice choice. Then after a few instances of 3007 being hacked, I changed it to 3009. Nothing original, but I like it.Edited by RathCrosse-Justin3009 - 28 March 2008 at 11:49am |

well this is my family nickname. actually it's in italian as Il Pesca and all my friends started calling me that way since I was 12. I used several nicknames but at the end, when I started working and having job relationships with foreigners I started traslating it as The Peach, Le Peche, Der Pfirsisch and stuck to the english version just for commodity :)
