Where did your screen name come from?

[Perfect Stu]

Perfect Stu:

the 'Perfect' came from a little game I was playing at the time called Perfect Dark. As for STU, I just think it's a funny name and (I bet nobody has noticed this) S-T-U are consecutive letters in the alphabet. So it's unique too.

So, what about you?

[Revival]

From the movie Happy Gilmore-- the golfer Shooter McGavin.. I took the name Shooter.

[Xantar]

I did not take my name from a porn RPG. :mad:

It's completely made up although it seems to show up as other people's user names every once in a while.

[Angrist]

I made it using a Sindarin (Tolkien language) wordlist. Anga = iron and ris = to cleave. Angrist = iron cleaver.

Later I noticed Tolkien already used that name for a knife that could cleave iron. I stuck with it anyway.
Gonna change my name someday to something completely unique, probably a Sindarin/Quenya translation of my real name. :)

[Yoda9864]

Well, it all started when I was signing up for AIM. I used Yoda because my nickname is Yoda. Then I tried a couple number combinations, but none of them worked, I tried like 4 times. Then I got frustrated a mashed the number pad and I came up with 9864. I've used it for every screenname I've ever had since.

[The_Dunadan]

[DeathsHand]

My brother made it up when I joined some starcraft clan.....

I'm no good at making up names... y'know I get them from other people... :sneaky:

[BlueFire]

From Zelda. (Ice Cavern)

[Ridley]

My name comes from the director, Ridley Scott :sneaky:. Okay okay, it comes from the leader of the Space Pirates, Ridley, in the game Metroid (like most people didn't know that anyways :p). Actually when I was trying to come up with a name, I thought about using Kraid, but in the end I chose Ridley because I thought he looked cooler and I found an avatar of him which I really liked.

[Non-Dusk]

erm.. i don't know :|


Non-Dusk originated from my screen name nondeesk, and one day Bluefire just started calling me Non-Dusk.. so, I made this :|



I don't even remember where I got the name nondeesk from, so bug off!
:mad:

[Yugi Starwind]

Well......I have My AOL name Aand GT name. So for AOL :
Sektor88: The red MK robot Sektor and my birth year,88. and for GT, I just put 2 anime characters together to create my name.

[Happydude]

i got my name from The Simpsons.


i'm hoping i get some dollors soon:unsure:


:D

[C.H]

Well, the way i came about name wasn't quite as imaginative or creative as some others. It's simply my initials, Chris.Harris. Plus it's simple, so i've stuck to it.

Please put up that avatar. The one you have now is... I don't even know what or who it is...

[ghettodude]

ghettodude...

the first time i used it was when i signed up for battle.net when starcraft came out...

i used to live in a neighborhood that could be considered ghetto.. and my house... looked really ghetto from the outside.. but we spent so much time while i was young renovating it.. that inside it looked like amazing.. basically.. ghettodude just meant dude from the ghetto.... and it was kinda like... a hidden meaning.. cuz in starcraft one of my main strategies was to abandon my first base... make another one on another side of the map... and let the people attack it... but try to defend it for at least 10 minutes or so while i build up my other base.. gain units.. and had a friend of mine build up units and we could counter right about the time they thought they were finishing me off... i was a decoy.. pretty much.. and my lifestyle was a decoy.. in my old neighborhood... so yea.

[Bond]

[The Germanator]

Germans are funny, adding "ator" to words is funny, especially with German, so yeah.

[ghettodude]

for some reason i always thought u meant that you kill germs..

like.. germ"i"nator...

i guess i didnt pay much attention to the a :(

[The Germanator]

Yeah, I think a lot of people think I'm talking about germs, but hey, I guess because it's more normal than talking about Germans...

[GameKinG]

Well...I just thought of a name, cause Im no good at making interesting ones. But at ndose, I wanted Gameking, but that was taken by someone who never posted. So I did, GameKing, that was the one I had before I posted like 50 post. Then I forgot my password somehow...I dont remember. So I ended up with GameKinG, which in short is GKG.

lol

That's Hulk Hogan, he's a wrestler. In other words you probably don't watch wrestling :D.

But sure, why not? You want the old school Ridley avatar, you got it. I haven't changed my avatar in a while anyways.

[quiet mike]

Mike is the not so corect variant in english of my middle name (Mircea) that I give to people that can't pronounce it.

Quiet was a self analisis of how I was and still am on the boards. It was all the way back during the first months of nintendodolphin.net and nintendodolphin.com. It was the first board I joined after I followed it's topics for almost a month, and since I didn't talk before, and I knew I'll talk less often than most posters I called myself "quiet"

[fingersman]

Well I think I said this before but my name is the nickname that my friends and I use to call a guy called a Adrian. So I just use it so i don't forget him ( not that I could he was funny as hell ) and sorta outta respect.

The sexyfingersman on AIM...well let's just put it this the only way i can...I'm sexy as hell. :D

I started using the name when I started playing starcraft...cause I knew adrain would have loved that game.



ps. I am not a woman as some people first thought.. ( bluefire)
I DO NOT FINGER MEN :mad: ( again bluefire)
and most of all I'm not a big prevert.....i'm a small one :D

ok next...I wonder how BAB thought up of his name?

[GameKinG]

Actually, I thought thats what it ment also...

[Mushlafa]

Well one day like 4 years ago i was at a birthday party at laser quest with a bunch of friends and one of the friends just made a word up and that word was Mushlafa........ that game he did really good i think he got first place. Next game he went with a different name and i used Mushlafa for the next 2 games and got first place both games. So i guess it just use it cause it gave me good luck once.

I think you should change it back to HollyWood. He is the new WWF Undisputed Champion. I think you need an avatar of him to honor his last reign on the top of the mountain,

As for my screenname, well I guess we will have to wait and see.

first of all, Andromeda is a galxay...http://library.thinkquest.org/28327/media/pictures/cosmology/andromeda.jpg

and the show, yeah, i agree...its cool...

[jeepnut]

I wanted my name to be descriptive. I like Jeeps, so I picked jeepnut.

Same with AIM name except that plain old jeepnut was already taken so I added 16 to the end since I was 16 when I got my AIM name.

I don't know why I prefer not to capitalize my name. I guess I just think it looks better like that.

[Professor S]

I named myself after one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Ed "The Strangler" Lewis.

I would go into it more but it would take too long.:D

Well isn't exactly what you wanted, but check the sig ;)

[Ric]

My name is Richard... people call me Ric... hence my screen name Ric.

I also couldnt think of anything better when I signed up.
