Forum :: Lounge :: What's in a name?

Many of us have picked up cute, weird and down right odd names we have used over the years. So where do we get these names? Feel free to answer here and explain yourself for having that nickname that is just out there.

I picked the online nick of "Apollo" as it refers to the greek god of art/music, and at the time I was a music major in college. Seemed to fit.

I never used to be a regular computer user. I always had an affinity to spell things with a 'K' from my old graffiti tag, "Kalamity Kaper" (Calamity Caper). I discovered sometimes my mind is faster than my fingers can process, so then I became "Klutz" because anybody that talks to me on IM will notice I'm terrible with typo's.

i have chosen Maori cause of my culture and i couldent think of a better name.

I got mine from what religious people call me. Ironically I dressed like a fallen angel for halloween except mine was epicly dark.

There's nothing in my name. As a matter of fact, every name i've used on online communities has been a random mix of characters based on current events or whatever may have crossed my mind at the time. As such i've been on the internet for 6 years and have yet to settle on a single definitive username. This is frustrating, because I then end up with useless names like "sblord" here and "iMacC2D" on the IRC channel.

I sincerely apologize for my posts from when I was 12.

I actually got mine when i was trying to make original names to sell in endless. ever since then it just stuck.

I got mine from Beavis and Butthead  "I am kornholeo, Bring me tp for my bung hole"

I just added the King =D. This is the online name ive always used.

Free your mind

i got mine from off a server that i use to have 

For Zpandaz, i played my first private server, Rena's, at the time pandas where really popular and the name panda was taken, so i used Zpandaz, that stuck. As for Soulsurvivor, my friend gave me his Test account, and Soulsurvivor was on it. i liked it so it stuck as well.

I picked Ananas because;

1. Its the fruit in Endless Online which Vult-r didn't seem to bother to translate it to English (Pineapple).
2. Because the name wasn't picked on EO Test, thats where Ananas got born =P
3. Because I like the fruit :3
