ITT, we talk about the username(s) we've had online. Mine tend to be long stories.

Eon: I had just mutually dumped the control freak ex. This gave me far more spare time. So I'd decided to get a new host and begin replacing the then-regularly-updated, yet old, Geocities site. The name idea I kinda liked for the newer one was 'Eonisa's Haven'. "Eonisa" being a modified contraction of the word "Eon" and "NISA", which is a common abbreviation for Nippon Ichi's US branch. I changed it to 'Eon Hacks' right away, so this trend stuck.

As an inside joke connecting the "Eon" and "Disgaea" themes... Disgaea also happens to be a Nippon Ichi game.

theclaw: Remember, "theclaw" is related to "The Claw", but not the same.

This started in elementary school. I invented a rather generic hand gesture, which people began calling "The Claw". The Claw was originally considered negative by others, but positive by me. It soon became a character whose appearance is loosely based on the gesture. And so The Claw slowly had grown to positive status in the eyes of observers. I picked the name "theclaw" online as a homage to it, after very briefly using Mirror-Raichu.

The Create-A-Wrestler personification of me is also called "The Claw", which can be confusing.

theclaw135: A common variant. 135 is just the National Pokedex number for Jolteon.

Mirror-Raichu: Wasn't used much, except for on Homestead. I've still got that page's logo and a few images. But no text from it remains. Originated on what I believe were the way-old Psypoke chat rooms. I'd picked it when role-playing something.

Star_Amy7: From Psypoke chat also. A female role-playing persona. Used to have a small web page and an email address, but no longer does. It's still the never used online mascot of mine.

Amazingly, this is the only nick I've ever truly had. It came about as an initial obsession with Final Fantasy Tactics, and has more recently evolved into a potential Role-Playing character named Maximillion McKnight, reduced to MaxKnight, a Frost Swordsman in class, though focusing more on the physical side than the magical side.

Mudkip - 4chan meme

Someguy - Cause I didn't want to use my normal Alias for this board

Ominoto - hitting random keys on the board for a ragnarok online character name and that came up. Woo simplicity.

Oh boy..

1. LizardKing Sr

LizardKing was one of the names used by a boss of some game, and I'll leave it at that. The Sr. was added, because I'm a Koopaling fan, especially Morton Koopa Jr., and the name was meant to reflect that. About as nerdy as it can get! I later dropped the Sr., because I thought it looked rather ridiculous, kind of the same as with names like 'CloudSephiroth5418randomnumbers', and such.

2. Lizzie, female version of this name.

3. Cheese, made up character, Morton's imaginary friend. Featured in fan fiction, and also the second playable character of my frozen Super Mario World hack. Inspired by the fact that I really like Cheese, and an old running gag at some other site. Yarr.

4. Soilwork, awesome Swedish melodic death metal band.

5. rsraindrop, no real reason. Just something that popped into my head, or something.

6. Phobos, one of Mars' moons. Astronomy is interesting.

7. Phobos the Reindeer, just trying to spread some Christmas spirit.

8. Warpriest, just the name of the song that was playing as I joined the latest incarnation of the 'you know what'.

I think that should be all.., though I might just have forgotten something.

Of course, there's a bunch of other weird aliases I have used, mostly for various mail services here and there. I have probably forgotten most of those. But I do remember one of them, though.. Mathyofe96. (Man that you fear. )

Thexare: KH name change fad on incarnation 3, I believe. Used my alternate account name (Aether) as the base. To lengthen it - because none of my names are ever short, heh - I added Blademoon; I like swords, and I like night. Amusingly, though the Blade portion refers to a sword, the character I made named Thexare Blademoon uses a halberd.

Aether, Shadowflare, etc: Generic disguise names I used for various purposes. Basically, I come up with a simple name that doesn't stand out, use it for whatever I need to, then drop that specific disguise in favor of a new one. I don't do that often, though.

Cheveyo Chowilawu: As I recall, it's a Native American name meaning "spirit warrior joined by water", according to my mother (who came up with the name).

Kell Orine, Tamarin Calanis, Thalis Finarth, Serines Atralphos: Just popped into my head randomly. Various characters of mine; when I have the ability to change my own name, I tend to use a few of these to reflect my current overall mood.

Calin Silvereye: Calin was a half-elven archer I made. He had no last name. I decided to use the name for a Diablo 2 Elementalist Druid (with bows as a backup weapon), but Calin was already taken. Since bows were a secondary weapon, Silvereye came to mind as a fitting addition.

Silver Dragon: On Elric's board, it was intended to be my winter name; the Silver Dragon in the Northern Kingdoms (a region of a larger world me and a friend made) is a god of ice. I'd normally use his actual name, Argyros, but I decided to go with a name that wouldn't really require much explanation.

???????????: I use this alias for, uh, things you won't know about.
???????????: Generated during a conversation with an (ex-)friend.
???????????: Feminization of my real name.
???????????: You could probably guess this one's origin if you knew what it was.



My names are rather bland and boring, and no, I'm not telling you what they are.
I'm secretive like that.


Further details on the first one: love of clocks/gauges (surely you've noticed by now) + old AOL-style 6-letter-limit = "timekeeper" + "hm, shorten this" + "oh, 'x' is short for 'time(s)' in math, sometimes" = "xkeepr".

Oddly enough, I've stuck with it since I first joined the internet.

cpubasic13... well, not much to say really.

I started playing Neopets online a very very long time but lost interest quickly like I normally do. However to get on it you needed to register so I had to think of a username for it. At the time I was interesting in simple BASIC programming and computers in general, so I just stuck cpu and basic together.

As for the 13, I decided to vary it up with my favorite number. Now that number has shown up more frequently in my life for some reason.

I think you just start getting used to it; for example, I notice "378" far too often

Black Lord: Back when I was into FF, Lord of the Black Mages, lame name, but that's what most know me by.

augshow: a name given to me by a friend, using the first three letters of my last name. I decided it'd be a good alias for the nets and am trying to go from my latter one to this.

I have other alias elsewhere... just not for release here.

Names fall under two categories... Army and True names

Fan/True Names:
True Flight - Original name
Originally True Flight was just a bard. She played the ocarina and was ofcourse killed by her lover because she had lost the one thing that keeps her from becoming a demon. (When I was on Lycosia)

Faith Flight - happens to be True's younger twin sister.

Hikaru - Fan of MKR of course

Army
Lil Miss MRE - My bro calls me this all the time
MRE Bomb w/ Tabasco - purposefully mispelled Tobasco... those things just suck and I got into huge trouble with that.

Army Kitsune - I happen to LOVE and ADORE foxes... and I'm in the Army.

Tanks: No... not derived from the plural form of the popular motored weapon of war...

To be honest, it's derived from DBZ. I created my own character, adding him into the series. I was thinking well... there's Trunks... then there's Gotenks... Tenks sounds to weird... meh let's go with Tanks.

1. Anya - when I saw this movie, I wanted to learn more about the actual history. So I did. When I started to go online, I choose the nickname from the movie and just went with it. I also use it for all of my characters in City of Heroes.

2. Next Jen - Given to me at last year's Gamestop conference in Texas. Since the next gen consoles were talked about a lot, the guys in my district starting saying, "you're next to Jen" and simply, "Next Jen". So when I finally got a Xb360, I picked Next Jen as my gamer tag.

NSNick. Started with an inside joke wayyy back in middle school, which just so happened to be when I started needing a handle. Voila. I've stuck with it since, since I'm an old man and hate change.

After that episode, the username became stuck as soon as I used it as a nickname when I first got the DS a few weeks later.

My first one ever: Bulbasaur41492. Yes, this was back during the semi-new Pokemon craze. I made this name (well, I sorta did. Mostly had help) back in '97 or '98, on AOL. I was around age 6 or 7 at the time.

So then I got older. I grew sick of the name and the annoying parental controls. I was about 11, and I, once again, semi-made the name WindWkr414. Fairly recent, during Wind Waker's recent release. I still occasionally use this name.

Oh boy, here comes RuneScape. I spent... Um, a long time trying to come up with a name. This was when I was in 7th grade, so about 3 years ago, I believe. I remembered a phrase one of my friends used, "Dorito". I wanted to destroy her phrase, so the birth of Doritokiller (and a really, really crappy period of that shit-game) was brought forth.

Fairly recently (within the past month or so), I discovered that my AIM screen name, WindWkr414, still had those great parental controls. I could transfer files and such, but I couldn't enter/make a chat room. I then made the account, Fpoony Bard, as a reference to both those strange Dairy Queen commercials and Final Fantasy IV.

There are some variants, such as WindWaker414 or Doritomurderer (and other strange, obscure names), but this is, for the most part, all the names I've used.
