What's In A Username?

Fiar · Post by **Fiar** » Sat Sep 01, 2012 5:56 am

Mine was made in 2007 when I joined XBL, I wanted an original name, that sounded neat to me. So I chose the element I liked most, and some word fit. I am well aware what acolyte can mean, so I gave it a different meaning. It was amusing though, that only a couple kids on XBL could pronounce acolyte, the rest failed at sounding it out; horribly.

All in all, it's a name I'm still happy to have, I no longer play games on the xbox; and it's becoming a dwindling activity in my life. So I may pull a Musicman247, and make a music oriented name to accommodate my new obsession.

Stuff like:

Acoil
Akail
Akalt
Ac-Ac-AC-UGHHH I HATE YOUR NAME! IT SUCKS!

Not exaggerating on the last one sadly.

Yeah, but this is XBL, and I was on Halo. I never expected that high of an IQ margin when I played matchmaking in the first place.

Also, remember that quite a lot of those people are not native English-speakers... I bet 90% of you lovely people would mispronounce my username horribly, regardless of your IQ.

Everyone should follow suit.

Way ahead of you.

The trouble with being well ahead of someone is that they'll be in a prime position to shoot you straight in the back...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the meaning of me.

Unless of course the person in question is so far ahead of you they are now behind you. Hello, paranoia.

Very meaningful, Miss Spark. You are what lies between sanity and insanity, then?

'Between' is such a small thing.

You're thinking in terms of points.

I think in terms of scope.

Brotherhood of Steel rank and my surname.

As for my other name....

Spoiler:

Jim=My first name. Daniels= My dads surname. NOT, as has been specualted, a merge of Jim Beam and Jack Daniels...eventhough I do enjoy both

"Theofratus" is a character from Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis. I type "o" instead of "u" once and just kept it that way.

I was so glad that I learned that there was online on Starcraft: Brood War. I was sitting with my older brother, and we couldn't figure out a username for the life of us. I got really bored and went, "Ughh Craapp Maaan, we'll never make up a name", and he went, "oh okay CrapMan, thanks bro". So I would be CrapMan if I caught that first, so I'm CrapDude instead, I think it has a better ring to it anyways.

Pretty simple. Mine's the surname (alias) of my primary character in TES V.

to answer the question briefly, you could say u-s-e-r-n-a-m-e

Imp · Post by **Imp** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:02 am

I was originally named 'imperialkhajiit', which was my way of poking fun on how much Bethesda imperialized the khajiits in oblivion. This fact frustrated me. (Skyrim is better though.)

Though, everyone called me imp, so therefore, I decided to change my username to Imp.

Not much to it really.

Alarra was what I named my character (the only one I've played so far) in Skyrim.

I loved Kirby's Tornado form so much in the handheld games that I beat all the bosses with it. Spinning is so much fun.

Not as cool as Kirby's Refrigerator form (Who doesn't like throwing bacon at enemies?) on the 64, but it kicks butt.

Mekorosi was the name of my first Oblivion character and my first xbox live account.

What is in my username? Six letters. Also, a social alias.

Pingpat · Post by **Pingpat** » Fri Nov 02, 2012 1:57 am

Ping from pingouin, commonly mistaken as French for penguin. Manchot is the actual translation for penguin, while pingouin translates to auk which is the family of birds including puffins. As you can guess, penguins are one of my favourite animals. Pat comes from my name.

I also go by Teng Baotian, most often in games. I use this name when playing as "me". It was a name created by a Chinese name generator.
