I love my real name .. originally my mum was going to give a name that would be completely different from arabic to english , she was going to name me ''Dawood'' , thus when i was in an arabic place people would call me this , but when i was in an english place i would be called ''David''

then she changed her mind and gave me a great name

Sorry for going off topic there

My first account here was as Behnjymyn, which is my username over most of the rest of the internet. I changed it, mostly to avoid someone(not someone from here). Jedi because I am something of a Starwoid, and Taters because....well, because I'm weird and I have a shirt with "Po-Ta-Toes: Boil 'Em, Mash 'Em, Stick 'Em In A Stew" on it. I never really thought about it much, though I do nowadays(and I think of changing it).

It's much easier to type "TATERS! <3" then "BEHNJYMYN! <3", particularly since the latter seems impossible for me to type without mistake!

Which is why, if I ever changed it, I'd probably just cut it down to "Taters". I'd never do you a disservice.

Three words: Bread. Is. Delicious.

DaedraPuppet · Post by **DaedraPuppet** » Thu Aug 30, 2012 3:44 am

Originally my name was Logan555, because my name is Logan and my favorite number is five

DaedraPuppet is my current name because whenever I play TES games I seem to get caught up with a lot of different daedra princes and they make me do their dirty work, hence Puppet. Plus I really like daedra

Ignore Cardbird Dark Spark is an anthropomorphic personification.

deathm00n · Post by **deathm00n** » Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:29 pm

I played a long time ago and MMO called Archlord, and there was a race called Moon Elves and they were all female(weird I know) and my friend and I decided to play as them because their classes were better, we needed something for people to know we were male. Since my user name before were always Death Knight(and a lot of people use it), and someone already used it in Archlord my friend sugested DeathMoon. But there's always somone who use that also, and I changed it to Deathm00n, and deathmoon sounds cool doesn't it?

Recently someone asked me if it had to do with darth vader... the death star and all that, but no...

I'm beggining to change it to Grogvar (the name of my nord) in new forums and games

Sometimes the answer is in the question.

Thank you sir. I believe Cactus always said as well that I had his favorite username on the forums. Guess I picked a winner.

Pft, don't be silly, ****face... You picked a name entirely made up of lowercase letters. What's up with that, huh? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?! 'Tis unnatural, I tells thee.

I, am a song.

When I first saw/heard Nocturnal in Oblivion I was interested immediately and lets just say the Thieve's Guild in Skyrim was very exciting for me.

Don't you have to go impale yourself or something?

Already done. Kinda.

(btw, I actually didn't know your very own origins story)

Mauin · Post by **Mauin** » Sat Sep 01, 2012 12:04 am

The "Mauin" that I'm known as originated ten years ago when I was attempting to come up with a username for my first account on Neopets. I can't remember where I got it from (for all I know, it could have just been from smacking the keyboard considering I have a habit of doing that until I can find a reasonable name), but it's something I've been known as ever since. It has become a sort of nickname for me.

Though it does also have a more current meaning. In the Star Trek novel I wrote for my own amusement, the main character was known as Captain Jeila Mauin of Federation Starship USS Prime, NX-8270. That's where the "Captain" portion of my username on other sites (like Youtube, where I'm known as CaptainMauin) comes from.

Travalanche · Post by **Travalanche** » Sat Sep 01, 2012 2:23 am

Mine is Travalanche because I've had this nickname since High School and my name is Travis, and the Avalanche part is because I like cold weather. I'm also the type of player that will charge into battle wearing Heavy armor and slaughter everything in sight with a battleaxe like an avalanche crushing a mountain village lol.

Well, I like Ice magic in Oblivion. And Mages are pretty cool I guess.

Boring. What would work better is if, in real life, you're a scientific pyromaniac.

Everyone should follow suit.
