What’s the story behind your username?

[Aneki]

My friends from the old RuneScape days one day started calling me "Aneki" and it stuck with me ever since. Sometimes if it's taken, I'll make it "AnekiScarlet" as scarlet is one of my favorite colors and it makes an effective online alias.

In Spanish speaking countries, Gabo is a common nickname given to people called Gabriel (Just like Gabe in English). So I just took my nickname and put a random number and I thought it sounded cool. That's it. Same shit as @alexander1970 and @AmandaRose, so make that three fools.

i've lived my whole life in a Spanish speaking country, i've heard of Gabos but only now i realize it's because of this, lol

 

[SAIYAN48]

XAIXER is a fancy form of Kaiser; SAIYAN48 = I like DBZ and 48.

 

[GABO1423]

i've lived my whole life in a Spanish speaking country, i've heard of Gabos but only now i realize it's because of this, lol

And I've lived in Venezuela for almost my entire life, and all of my friends and family call me Gabo. So yeah, pretty damn common my friend!

 

[Sicklyboy]

I used to play Maplestory when that came out. The character I made had squinting eyes, a shaved head, and the palest skin color you could pick. He looked sick. Thus, Sicklyboy.

A few years later, I got into WoW. I made an Orc with the greenest skin you could pick. Thus, Sicklyboy was still relevant.

The name stuck.

 

[1B51004]

Mine just came from the internal name of Pokemon Ultra Moon, "00040000001B5100". The 4 at the end is a part of my birth date. It's not really that creative now that I think about it.

For the one I use here and PSN, CCF are my initials and I am a male and I first created it in 2004. For my other username chuckthetekkie that I use on Xbox, Steam and Nintendo, Chuck was my nickname (Charles, although growing up I despised anything other than Charles) and I have a passion for fixing computers but I didn't like the way Techie looked so I replaced the CH with KK. Once an a while someone misreads or mishears it and assumes I'm a Star Trek fan as they are called Trekkies. Yes I am a fan of Trek.

EDIT: I should mention that I did create a PSN account with chuckthetekkie as the ID but I accidentally used a Home-brew app while logged in PSN, I'll let you guys figure out what happened next. Thankfully I never bought anything with that account.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

I mentioned my birthday is the same day as Bilbo/Frodo Baggins, so rogue (then) Supervisor @Vulpes Abnocto decided it would be humorous to change my username to Tom Bombadildo. I liked it so much I decided to keep it, and use it now pretty much everywhere I sign up. That was nearly 6 7 years ago now I think

 

[twispthegamer]

I liked this book (and movie!) Youth in Revolt when I was in middle school and the main character was named Twisp. Again because I was like 12 I thought it'd make sense to append ~the gamer~ as my title.

Nowadays most sites I used my HS band name Buddha's Angst or tthyme shorthand for my dj name at my college radio station.

 

[ccfman2004]

For my sister, several thousand moons ago, I created the Xbox Gamertag krissyskywalker for her. Our Grandfather gave her the nickname Krissy when she was younger and she had a crush on adult Anakin so krissyskywalker was born. She uses it for all online gaming accounts.

Used to be Cherry Pie, but I picked GhostLatte because I'm a fan of lattes, particularly pumpkin.

Ahh, my username has religious significance and I’m aware that this forum has probably had more than enough horrible religious arguments , so I apologize beforehand and don’t mean to cause any trouble or make anyone uncomfortable because I know religion has been misused as a way to discriminate against other human beings that just need love and support, and not judgement. But here goes.

Spoiler: the thing you know

So, about two weeks or so before I joined here I had this name going through my head, and I really liked it. But, it sounded too soft because I think the name going through my mind was Mishmash, and it didn’t sound quite right to me. So I changed it to Micmash. Then I decided, you know what I’m going to hack my Wii- and I was scared by all the internet tutorials so I decided to make an account here, and I joined as MicmasH_Wii which later got shortened.
Well, I joined at just the right time because my life started getting much harder and my depression got worse as life stuff was happening. A long time after I joined I decided to look up Micmash and as it turns out, it’s a town in the Bible and both instances in which it was mentioned, people had to rely on God through impossible circumstances, and through trusting in him, they got through it. That really resonates with me because everything seems hopeless sometimes and it all hurts , so it was a nice little coincidence and a religious reminder to me.

Most people think it’s Mic as in the microphone but I pronounce it Mic as in Mick Gordon or something like that
And no the H isn’t silent , it’s just capitalized because .... y’know, DooM
