Formerly Ran Yakumo, formerly Ninetales, formerly Vulpix, formerly Kamek77, now (again) just Kamek.

I joined Acmlm's back on the first incarnation as Kamek77, a mashup of Kamek (who I've always liked, partly because I beat him in 0'08" in TA a long time ago and never forgot that

) and my favorite number, 7, twice. It never really stuck (though it's still one of my e-mail addys), and eventually Danielle (who always just called me Kamek) persuaded me to drop the 77. After that I was known by Kamek for awhile.

However, I've had a tendency to switch usernames whenever I find a new obsession, and when I got addicted to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon I switched to Vulpix (and then later Ninetales), and then when EP and cpubasic got me addicted to Touhou I switched to Ran Yakumo.

Despite answering to pretty much any of these names, I don't feel particularly attached to any single one of them, and maybe that's why I don't think twice about changing nicks...is that unusual?

tuna: "I need a name." "Uninspired." "I'm eating a tuna sandwich."
laptuna: laptop + tuna
Tina: tunabot - bot + u->i*
Xkeeper: ?????

I have never been one for alternate names. I've been using "Xkeeper" for a long time, and I've burned out on reiterating the creation.

My name has led a suprisingly boring life.

*Created by Hiryuu, I guess.

GPP: 558; GT: 31.893

First name I ever used online was my real name.

No explanation necessary.
BoWzR was a corruption of Bowser which I used once in a Java chat applet. IIRC the second name I ever used online.
Pika98765 was lolpokémon + lolrandomnumber.
micros0ft_hater255 was one I used for an email address. I needed an email address and was pissed off at Microsoft.

o became 0 because I didn't want to get in trouble or something stupid like that, and 255 is just 255.
Mew2 was lolpokémon. This lasted about a week.
HyperHacker was because I wanted a new name because Mew2 sucked and I was really into hacking Gameshark codes and doing like 50 a day.

I've been known to pick random animé characters' names (or just their last names, or occasionally real Japanese people) and use them on forums I don't really care about or IRC. Common ones include Kinomoto, Kunisaki, Takahashi, Higurashi, Yamaguchi, and Hamasaki. (Cookies to those who can tell me what person/character each one is from. Bonus points if you can tell me both people Takahashi may refer to. Hint: AFAIK only one of them is at all famous.) You may notice I prefer those with 4 syllables, particularly if they end in an 'i' sound.

I use hyp3rhax0r on AIM and rekcaHrepyH on Xbox Live and some other places I can't remember because HyperHacker was taken. >:[

I've probably forgotten a few, and there's no way I'm listing all the names I've used in fads. That'd take ages.

Limiting to recent names to save space.

Thexare: Aether was an alternate account name of mine. Then came the Kingdom Hearts name change fad. While I've never played the games, I figured it'd be an interesting challenge. Later, Aether Blademoon became another RP and City of Heroes character, an ice magician.

Blademoon: I like swords and I'm rather nocturnal. Rather simple.

Stigandr: From Behind the Name:

STÍGANDR

Gender: Masculine

Usage: Ancient Scandinavian
Means "wanderer" in Old Norse.

It's also the name of Thexare's halberd (RP) or sword (City of Heroes).

Started as a nickname I got from my uncle when I was like, 7 "Little Marty"
Eventually became Little_Marty675 when I used it on the internet (I still use it sometimes, just for nostalgia reasons

) I never really used it at any message boards, only online games. Then Marty eventually became Martin :3

I have been using my name for ages, was inspired by the glitch section of Zelda's Secret Ocarina, was the first site I joined, I no longer post there that much, considering that I spent my n00b days there, and I did some retarded things.
In any case, I still enjoy my name, and the chance of me changing it is low.

My name has a rather boring history, I don't even remember why I decided on it, I just picked a random name for use on AGN, and eventually I grew to like it. If it's not available I'll use something like TheGreatGy, or TehGreatGuy, obviously simple changes of the base name.

Yep.

Burns: Are you people saying boo or boo-urns?
Crowd: Booooo!
Old guy: I was saying boo-urns...

There you go.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it once more...

A portmanteau of Pearl Guardian. Have been using it for what feels like forever. In fact, the name came way before the Magikoopa form, actually.

What a waste. We should rename him to something stupid so that maybe someone with a brain can be Inuyasha.

People with brains name themselves after hugely popular manga/anime characters?

Naming yourself "Inuyasha" or "Naruto" or "Ichigo" or anything else of the such is about on the bottom of the creativity list...

Perhaps if you stole a name from an awesome yet largely unknown fiction, it would be better, but still...
