How did you get your username?

[NeptuneKai]

I was a huge fan of the "Kermit Kombat" series on www.NeptuneCircle.com.
I was also a huge fan of King Kai. I fused them together and got "NeptuneKai". My apologizes for anyone who ever thought this screename contained any amount of coolness or wit.

I've been on Daizex for so long I'm starting to use "NeptuneKai" everywhere I go nowadays.

[The Tori-bot]

First off, if there was one person I could see starting this thread, it is definitely you (and has been for a while).

Well for me, I have been a long time fan of the Rambo series (and by default, the Rocky series as well)

We have a new Mr. Piccolo!

Saiya-jin Pride

I can see that one causing a bit of confusion...

O dear Ed Gorgen, where be thee?

Mine came from my strange attachment to Toriyama's self-portrait of a robot with a gas mask. You'll find it easily enough, whether it's shrewdly inserted into the manga or in the picture along with Toriyama's comments at the start of a volume. I just liked the somewhat-cute little guy, thus I made him my username.

That smiley face just doesn't look happy enough, does it? It looks more like a "I'm going to rape you but I'm being subtle about it" face.

[Wojak]

Wojak is a Polish beer, and I like beer, so I chose that name.

[JulieYBM]

Mine comes from the Yûgi Mutô version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card Black Magician.

[Anonymous Friend]

I go my username from an episode of Spin City. There's something about oxymorons that I like. I had another username from my days in the Sears warehouse (SpankyMcSnuggleBum) which I would use before this one.

[Bura]

I named myself after the character of course...

[Bardock the Mexican]

The character Bardock combined with Mexican made up the name "Bardock the Mexican" and that's the story behind the name. Not much, but it's not just a name for me. It's an identity and a interesting take on the character. It's a shame that much of what was Bardock the Mexican is not seen as it once was. I blame the lack of the Introduction forum for that. If only we had that again, it would be like old times.

[DBZGokuSaiyan]

Er... mine's came from a long story down. Back when Cartoon Network used to have Cartoon Orbit... I registered with a 3-part DBZ name. I can't really remember it, though it had to do with Gohan/Saiyaman... My friend's was PikkonRaditzEarthling0. Later on, I was thinking up a name for my AIM account, so I just took DBZ (since I love it like a brother, which I don't have, sadly... ), Goku (My favorite character, always. lol), and Saiyan (picking the "Earthling" part out of my friend's Cartoon Orbit name and using a different race, presumably Saiyans, since Goku is a Saiyan) Go ahead and laugh all you wanna.

[MajinVejitaXV]

I was 14 or 15, liked the Majin Vegeta episodes and found it was taken. Originally it was 'MajinVegitaXV' which I later changed to 'MajinVejitaXV'. I didn't really mean it as the roman numeral for 15, it just sounded cool to me at the time (EX-VEE).

I use other names elsewhere, but in this community I've kept this one. Yay for a name I made up 10 years ago! ;p

[B-kun]

In my major Japanophile days, I went under the name Baka-kun as something of a joke. Then people took it as less and less and less of a joke, so I switched over to B-kun. And as it happens, my name is Brian, so it's a double-reference.

[desirecampbell]

My username was created by my lack of imagination.

*cough*

[Big Momma]

Wow, it's great to see how all of these usernames were thought of!
It's like a little dive into your personality!(I hope that didn't sound weird...)

[Dayspring]

Mine's my nickname, which was given to me under the most random of instances: a friend randomly walked in and addressed me by it. When we all looked at her like she was a whackjob, she explained that I "just look like a Dayspring," in the sense that someone might look like their name is probably Paul or John or Moon Unit.

From there it stuck as my nickname among those who were there when she addressed me as such, as well as my screename all over the web. The latter ended once someone started stalking me, so I only go by Dayspring here and on Zannen.ca.

[Shiyonasan]

Let's see if I can explain this....

First, I put my name into Japanese through a site which translates English names into Japanese (my real name is Jonathan, so it came out Jonasan).
So, I separated the first two kanji. ジョ became シ and ョ, or Shi and Yo. So, Shiyonasan came about and became my name. It's not proper Japanese, but it's my name.

Sometimes, I wish I would've chosen a different username, but then again, most of us have usernames we regret later, right?

....





Nah, I actually like my username. I can't really see myself without it on this forum.

[Kendamu]

Mobile Suit Gundam (romanized as "Gundamu" from the Japanese spelling)

Ya know, I've always wondered if you would have ever gotten me singing "KIDOOOUUUU SENSHI KENDAMUUUUUUU! KENDAMU!" on the IRC Chat...



Now I know for sure.



SHA!

The general upbeat feel of that opening and "Sobakasu" (the first Kenshin opening) is basically the mode my brain is in 90% of the time.

[jda95]

Mine is just my initials plus my birthyear. Kuriza was taken....

[SSJ Helldog]

I was on the swim team in high school, and a guy I knew was going around adding "dog" to the end of people's names in attempt to parody African American culture. My last name is "Helton," so after a few attempts I became "Helldog." It's stuck with me in one form or another for ten years.

[Hao_Kaiser]

When I first "found" the internet as a 13 year old, I took up the handle "Brokenomochao," out of love for Sonic Adventure 2:Battle on the GameCube, and hatred for the character Omochao from that same game.

My love of Sonic tired, and I became big into Yu-Gi-Oh!, which has a lot of usage of the word Kaiser (like card names, i.e. Kaiser Sea Horse), so for a while, I would use that, like on really crappy Pokemon forums and the like.

Finally, I found a short-lived love of role playing, and, while looking for a character name, I found Hao from Shaman King (Unknowingly, actually, as I didn't actually connect the picture of the character to the series for quite a while).

I put two and two together, and go Hao Kaiser.

Though, honestly, I've dropped the Kaiser on other forums.

[Duo]

Joined a Megaman message board 6 or 7 years ago, used the name of a relatively minor character from one the games, and it stuck like glue. My days at MFG solidified the hell out of it as my internet identity, so "Duo" or "Duopierce" will be my internet moniker(s) indefinitely.
