How did YOU come up with your name?
« on: October 01, 2008, 10:22:38 PM »
I got the idea from a PM. It asked why did I pick R1885 as my user name. My reson was that its part of my first user name, 1885, for a OTA online game. The reason I added the "R" was due to the game Dawn of War. I was trying to use 1885, but I needed at least one leter in the name. At the time I was thinking of the PS2, the I thoght of the sholder buttons. Theres R1, L1, R2, and L2. So what the hell, why not use R1885? The name then, just stuck. Its my GameTrailers user name. So you know my tail, now I want to hear yours.

Ohh boy here we go...
Ever since I was about 13, Hazmat was my online alias for anything (MSN etc.) I don't know why I chose Hazmat (cool word? IDK ) but the name stuck. I've only recently changed it to H@zm47 because it looked cooler. I use the same alias for my online play NDS and Wii games. My youtube account is hazmat51 cos someone else stole my name the 51 means nothing just had to make it different to hazmat...
That's about it I think.

i used to play runescape (yes i know a crappy game) but anyway, i was introduced to runescape by a friend who suppports chelsea. his name was chelsearule1995 or somethinkg like that and i support man u so i went on runescape and registered an account. when it got to the choose a username i put in man u man but it didnt work so then i put manu man but it didnt work. so i just changed the words around and put man manu. ingenious huh? i used to hate it when my friend called me man manu at school and insisted he called me man man u. but then i kinda got used to the name and use it on a few online accounts. so thats my story. thanks for reading

I  chose Flying_Chao on Runescape because I wanted a name nobody else had so I wouldn't need to put any numbers at the end. The name just stuck after that.

my name's origin came from again, runescape. My username was actually DragonBurn - cos i like dragons. Until one day, my friend and me was chatting and they couldn't remember my username, they had a few guesses, one of them being DragonFire. I then clung onto that name til now.

I didnt actually think about my name too long, because when I joined I tought that I would just get a few building tricks and tips and then disappear, but here I am. If I had used my now normalized nick, it would be 1nsane.

Mine is Somebody because I was asking about the downed exchange in the Chatbox before I got a username and decided to have Somebody as my name because I would pick another name later. Then I just decided (because I am horribleat making names and I couldn't think of a good one) to use it.

Also, I was going to start a thread like this soon, but I guess R1885 got to it first. Oh well.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I had numerous other names (Nagzash on Youtube, but i'd like to change it), but Naryar went in when I wanted to play my famous red half-dragon on a Roleplay forum.

I don't remember exactly the circumstances, but i think that came from Narya, the Fire Ring (one of the Three) in the Lord of the Rings.

I think I'm going to stick with Naryar now. I like it.
