    Didn't I answer one of these already...?

    Anyway! Mine's kind of a long story... but waaay back in the wee-days of my forum-going, one of my first screen names that stuck was "Death Guardian". Auugh it sounds so cliche and horrid now, but everyone knew it and apparently were too lazy to type that all out...

    So they shortened it on the forum I went to as "DG". It stuck. Over the years I grew away from "Death Guardian" and folks began to simply know me as "DG" instead to the point where the former name was nearly obliterated. I can only think of one place I actively go that still uses "Death Guardian" or some variation.

    Now, the "exe" part... well, that spawned from the fact that I, at one point, was a huge Megaman/Rockman Battle Network fan and thus thought it OH SO LOVELY to stick "exe" on the end of "DG". The obligatory period is missing due to the fact that my first ever usage of "DGexe" was on AIM and AIM doesn't allow a period to be used in such a manner. >:I

    So there you go. DGexe just "stuck" as my screen name.

    My username is anagram of my real name with an "X" added to it. It was inspired by Kingdom Hearts II.

    - inspiration: Korean priest and poet.

    PFFT. NOT.
    I didn't know that the same name is shared and the person existed until I googled my already made name. xP
    Oh wells, it's the pronunciation of a medicine I literally live on.

    Yeah. -lames-

    I used to go by Gunn Yoshiaki, which is a name of a fictional character and was soon shortened to just Gunn. Not my first username on PC and I'm too embarrassed to mention that. Then I had Disintegration because, ... I dunno, it sounds cool like most -tion words. I'm actually thinking about doing it again.

    After that, two of my friends and I did this "-KiLL!" username trend (I had MechaniKiLL!, one had SurgiKiLL! and the other had ElectriKiLL! ... any word that ended with -cal would work). We ended up calling ourselves The KiLLers! har har. Fun while it lasted but eventually grew from me.

    Now I have Fall Poet; comes from my favorite band Poets of the Fall.

    Also, I'm lame.

    My sister gave me this nickname when I was nine, and I've used it ever since. Except now it's been shortened to just Adri.

    I got my name from wanting to be called Pikachu on another site. Of course that was already taken, so I chose Peeky chew instead, it turned out to be a much more popular name then Pikachu ever would have been. And I've won lots of awards for most orignal name on forums :)

    My username comes from the 386 pokémon that existed when I created it,
    and I also liked shiny pokémon.
    So there you have it shiny386.

    My username's origin comes from a liquid which you can swim in, and the colour that suits it..

    My past usernames all came from the things I like, except for IceCharizard, which was totally random xD

    I got my username from my love of snow.. and well, I thought it sounded better with the "-wy" at the end.
    I think it sounds cute anyway.

    Snowwy. ♥

    The greatest soccer team in the world, DC United. And because Americans love to sue each other, I'm surprised some legal busybody at RFK Stadium hasn't made me change it.

    Glion - Was trying to think of a username, and Glion is Gliscor's Japanese name, so I chose it.

    CyberGlion - Added in cyber because I thought it made it look better. That's about it.

    Blazing Gliscor - Well, I was trying to think of a different name...

    Yuukinoh - Misspelling of Snover's Japanese name, I think. I was well aware of it even before the change, but I prefer this spelling anyway, so I kept it.


    That should be it for now.
