Names

[SpriteMeister]

Here's a thread for explaining where your username came from. If you have changed it, explain why, and what the new one(s) means.

SpriteMeister came from one day, I decided to incorporate my hobby of spriting into my online life. The Meister part was something that I thought would make it more original, but not too obscure.

Oh! And the #1 (of 5) came from MP joking around and calling himself SpriteMeister, and a few others followed. Thus came the SpriteMeister Contest thread.

[Chris Hallbeck]

Well my name... hey waitaminit.

[Synchro]

I seem to remember a thread like this.... ._.?

[SpriteMeister]

I couldn't find one.

[juneloveslotr]

 June Berry is the name I came up when I first needed an online alias.The first forum I ever joined was the LOTR plaza. It rocked, but I stopped going years ago. JuneLovesLOTR was the name I came up with for that, and in stuck. I've been using that ever sense.

[Solid Snake]

Need I say more? Fine... Solid Snake is from Metal Gear Solid by Kojima Productions a sub section of Konami Computer Entertainment Japan. Thanks

[Mystery Fish]

Kentan was taken from an obscure GameBoy game called Monkey Puncher or something, as the name 'Kenta'. I just modded it a little bit when I needed an online nick name.
>_>
<_<

[DomanickX]

It was my thread that starded this question

DomanickX Was my fist name The word Domanick Is a dirriveative of the word Domini, In latin that means to controll, The X came From when I made the original domanick It didnt sound right
My second name Domanick the mighty came from my knight name
My current Name Domanick the crEator came from an inside joke. The joke is When Ever I make a new mii on my wii The creators name is crEator. The reason I have the capital E is because my nickname is E
So...Yeah 

[MagicParakeet]

MagicParakeet came from a picture I saw. So is RocketKiwi. Hoopy Frood was from Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy.

That thread didn't address the username, just the sig, avi, etc.

[Synchro]

The name Synchro came off my stereo which has a 'Synchronized Dub' feature, because all the original Megaman characters had music based names. Synchro was a reploid character of mine that was created when someone told me, 'Make a Megaman style character that represents you.', which is why it's tied to Megaman. 

[Silfedac]

My user name has a long and complex history. It actually started about a year ago when I needed an alias. Earlier I had been looking at my little brother's Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and the first thing that came to mind was the card name "Slifer". I figured that would already be taken, so I changed it a little to Slifedac. Note the placement of the l and i. A little while later, I was signing up for something else, and figured I would use the same name. I forgot how the word was actually spelled, so I misspelled it as "Silfedac". I didn't realize my mistake until a while later, and now I just use Silfedac anytime I need a name.

[JezMM]

Well, my real life name is Jeremy, and my nickname is Jez, and since back in the year 2000, when I made my first e-mail account, 2000 was a pretty "cool" number, I decided to make my username "Jez2000".  Alas it was already taken, so I used roman numerals instead, thus creating "Jezmm".  About a year ago, I started capitalising the M's after realising everyone was pronouncing it as "Jezem", when it's actually pronounced "Jez-em-em".

[Poltaap]

I was looking in for a name to my msn, and got "poltaap, the final unclean monster" from a name generator, but didn't like the unclean monster part.

Soo whit the help from another name generator I got " The Infamous Secret Duke Who Rules in the Mansion and  is Called by the Bloody Pit" and I found it to fit perfectly.

And poltaap is allso the name for one of the bad guys in a webcomic I'm working on.

[Jimbob!]

ermm well...Jimbob is based on my real name, James (oddly enough). the nickname was invented by my geography teacher in college, and popularized by my now ex-girlfriend and chums. thats it really. oh, the ! adds mystery and intriuge, some egyptians prehaps believe.

[Bandgeek]

My name comes from 7th grade when i used to get to jazz band really early, and me and a freind came up with a little gang thing that we called the bandgeeks of america. Mostly it only involved writing "band geeks of America" on the chalk board, then earasing it when the teacher got there.

nothing to do with Ameican Pie then?

[Crazy Artist]

ah well my first email adress (and the one I still use) was crazyartist@everestkc.net. I used that for a while, then started using the name Damien_J for forums and whatnot (my last initial is J and i thought damien sounded cool). For a stint I used Krypt, and then switched to Caedor, the name of a character from a story I wrote. Recently I've started using Crazy Artist again.

I don't know how interesting that was, but its in ur brain now. YOU'RE STUCK WITH IT!!! MWAAHAHHAA

[Bandgeek]

nothing to do with Ameican Pie then?

no, unfortunatly I havent seen it

[juneloveslotr]

Sinse SpriteMeister is my brother and PixelPincher is my boyfriend, I thought changing my name to JuneLovesSpriters was the apropreate move. Plus, I'm in the SpriteMeister contest and thought my name should have something to do with spriting.

[Orangey]

I have two online names: SleepingOrange and AWolfNamedWaldo.

SleepingOrange was (and is) my livejournal name. The girl who introduced me to LJ went by the moniker of "magneticplum"; I thought that it sounded cool, as well as giving me an interesting mental image. It also reminded me of a magic trick I learned when I was about eight, which involved getting a paper-clip into an Orangey without breaking the skin. I decided to combine the formula of "adjectivefruit", magneticplum's name, and my Orangey trick. The result was SleepingOrange (obviously). I don't know why I thought of 'sleeping', but it sounds good.

AWolfNamedWaldo comes from a story I read back when I was in high school; suffice to say it's not that interesting and I've already rambled long enough. I can tell it on the off chance any-one's actually interested, but...

PS, Bandgeek, What dialect is your quote in? By which I mean, does pastel refer to pie or sandwiches?

[Bandgeek]

Pie of course. Psh

[Ninja Bob]

Ninja Bob is the name for one of my characters that I frequently draw.
I was on a Naruto high, and drew a sort of cross between Naruto and Kakashi.  He's been partners with Kris ever since.
And generally, my screen name has a 333 at the end.  It's cause my favourite number is three, and it helps to make sure my name isn't already taken on larger sites.

[Solid Snake]

Naruto High?!

[Ninja Bob]

Ayup.

[Silfedac]

Who hasn't been on a Naruto high once? I remember once I watched like fifty episodes all at once. That was a rush.

[Solid Snake]

all at once?!

[Silfedac]

Well, all in a row.

[Ninja Bob]

I've never watched that many of one anime, but I've watched anime all day while downloading more.  Then I delete them, cuz I have a tiny ass hard drive.

[Silfedac]

I don't download them, I just watch 'em on Youtube. Or I did, before every single form of anime was hunted down and deleted.
