Syndrome March 5th, 2016 1:03 PM

I picked a random word that I thought sounded cool and typed it into the username area. I was 12.

Flowerchild March 5th, 2016 1:21 PM

I actually really liked Blue's username and was thinking about changing my name to a color like him, but I couldn't really pick a favorite color. Thus, I picked all of them.

Palamon March 5th, 2016 2:02 PM

It means carnivals in Russian. Only reason it's my username is because Euphonium gave me a lot of attention I didn't want. I probably regret the decision. I want Euphonium back.

SaniOKh March 5th, 2016 2:19 PM

The basis of my username is "Saniok" ("Санёк"), one of the possible diminutives of the name Alexander in Russian. When I got my first passport years back, the first letter of my last name ("Х", the cyrillic version of "H") was transliterated as "Kh", so I just merged the two, making my username SanioKh.

Back in the day I was living in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian version of "Alexander" is "Oleksandr", so until I got the French nationality and switched my first name to its French version, my initials were "OK", which I ended up merging into my username as well, hence the capitalized "O".

... I had this username for over a decade, I seriously think of retiring it.

lol

Megan March 5th, 2016 2:49 PM

My username is my curse that I have to carry until the time is "right".

It has long since lost its meaning and is now just as empty as I am myself.

Christos March 5th, 2016 2:51 PM

I came here to save the index page from Klippy's new username by posting but someone else posted first

My username is my real name

Sothis March 5th, 2016 2:56 PM

Hades is the god of the underworld :3 And also a character I love from Saint Seiya

Astinus March 5th, 2016 3:39 PM

From the Wikipedia page, Characters of DragonLance

Quote:

Astinus of Palanthas, human, also known as Astinus Lorekeeper, is the head librarian of the Library of Palanthas. Fistandantilus created the Sphere of Time for Astinus to view the land and record everything as it is happening—truly, he "sees all as it is happening". Astinus records all history as it happens until the Chaos War, when he disappears. Astinus is believed by some to be either an aspect of Gilean, god of the Book, or a son of his. A legend states that Astinus is being trained by Gilean to go back to the beginning of time and become Gilean, thus entering a time loop.
Makes sense for me, since I like watching everything that goes on around the forums, and I'm really getting known as PC's historian.

Arylett Charnoa March 5th, 2016 4:39 PM

My name? You'd expect me to tell you it's from some obscure character you've never heard of, right? The truth is that I just made it up on my own ten years ago. The "Arylett" part, anyway.

Arylett is a combination of the letter "A", which my first name begins with and is my favorite letter, "scarlet" and "crimson." This combination was rendered as Arilet at first. However, I added an extra t because it looked better. And I changed the "i" into a "y" to experiment further with spellings. Incidentally, that looked better as well. It is the most fitting name for me that anyone could ever think of. Red has been the only constant in my life. The fact that it's my favorite color for some reason, and that I deeply associate and identify with it. Since I was a small child, it has never changed. That color is is simply who I am, and I've never doubted it even for a second. The one thing I am 100% certain of my life.

Charnoa? That came later. For a long time, I was Arylett Dawnsborough. And I originally invented Charnoa as a middle name for that. So I randomly combined "Charmander," which a friend was saying I reminded them of due to the burning flames of my passion, and "Rinoa," a character from Final Fantasy VIII who I used as an avatar frequently in those days. I only just started using it as a last name for Arylett recently. A year ago, I became Arylett Charnoa. And I'm pretty content with that as well.

Harmonie March 7th, 2016 1:57 AM

A lot may think that it's just an alternate spelling of 'Harmony', but that's not true. Harmonie is a term dating from at least the 18th century which was used to describe a wind ensemble. Thus it just fits me and my love for woodwind and brass instruments so well. I also own quite a few of them, more than enough for a 'harmonie', lol.

El Héroe Oscuro March 7th, 2016 2:18 AM

My username is Spanish, translated to "The Dark Hero." I remember reading a book one time - can't remember the book's name unfortunately - where the author created a character hero that was constantly torn as to which side to side with (i.e. good or evil.) There were tendencies when he would do good deeds, and times where he would do bad things. I liked that kind of contradicting character which is how the English translation came to be.

However, the reason why it's Spanish is actually just because I didn't like it in Italian. Because I am Italian, I wanted to make it Italian but I didn't like the way "Il Hero Scuro" sounded, and thus I looked for the Spanish translation and concluded that I liked "El Heroe Oscuro" much much more.

(:

It's...not perishable...

...I'm trying too hard. It's taken from part of the title of the 8th Touhou game.

Neil Peart March 7th, 2016 4:40 AM

It's my YouTube channel name. Once it started getting a little bigger, I started using this username more often just to see if I get recognized every now and then. Plus I've had the name since 2006, so there's some nostalgia value there.

The meaning of the name itself... well, I'm a huge fan of The Undertaker, and 11/27 is my birthday.

Judge Mandolore Shepard March 8th, 2016 7:51 AM

The first part of my username is a reference to the Judge Magisters in Final Fantasy XII. The second part of my username is one letter off of one of the party members in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords. The third part of my username is a reference to the player character of the first three Mass Effect games, Commander Shepard.

Mine is based on the popular antihistamine and sleep aid Diphenhydramine, known commonly by its most prevalent brand name Benadryl.

NightKrow March 8th, 2016 3:08 PM

I usually go by NightRaven, but that name was taken on this forum and I couldn't be bothered with numbers and underscores and things, so I replaced the Raven for Krow.

Night comes from my favourite band, Nightwish. Before I came up with the name NightRaven, I was DarkRaven, so Night is in keeping with the theme of darkness. Also night time is the best time of day because sleep XD

The Raven part in my usual username comes from the name that my dad goes by online - he is Crow or Crowsy most of the time. He likes the birds for their intelligence, as do I. I chose something in the same family as the crow, but different, just as I am in the same family as my dad, yet very, very different. (Also, Raven was a cool TV show when I was a kid. It's not on any more :( )

So, as I mentioned earlier, NightRaven was taken here, so I thought, as this is a Pokémon forum, I would replace Raven with the Pokémon that most closely resembles a raven. Thus, NightKrow was born.

My dad knows my PC name and told me that I can't be a crow because he's a crow, but I'm actually a krow so it's fine.

Minerva is the Roman Goddess of Wisdom.

I fit into any outlet.

Charlie Brown March 8th, 2016 8:29 PM

I liked the Coldplay song 'Charlie Brown' at the time I made my account :P Nothing to do with Charlie Brown from the Peanuts series.
