I've been focusing on names for no reason in particular, nowadays....

Is your Pokecommunity username one that you created, or borrowed/saw from somewhere else?

If you did create it, does it annoy you if you see someone you dont even know use it?

i made mine all on my own. When I googled my name and saw Facebook accounts and Playlist usernames with "Bloodex" I lost it!
he did it, not me.

I make variations of my username. It always has to do with BH-[insert something]

However, I always use BH-[insert=wolfgang] for most of my accounts.

Recently, whenever I googled any of my variations, there are always some poser who steals either my already made variations or even my initials!

I'm not totally mad that they steal my initials and insert something after that, as I can't really don't know if their initials are the same as mine, but when I tried to make my AIM account....

There were at least seven accounts that has BHwolfgang in it. I just lost myself at that moment (went into a rage).

Sorry for this rant, peeps.

My username isn't original, I got "icomeanon" from an Orson Scott Card novel. The six comes from the fact that when I set up my email address, "icomeanon" plus the numbers before six were already taken. So, no, it doesn't bother me when I see other icomeanons out there. I only use this username for this forum and for a Yugioh fandub that I'm editing sound effects for.

Are you sure that you aren't stealing their username? Seriously, the internet is so vast that there are bound to be people out there with similar or identical usernames.

"wakashamo" is as some of you may know the Japanese name for Combusken.

5 years ago I thought it was "wakachamo". I guess I just kept this nick. I haven't seen anybody else use it; if you Google "wakachamo" you'll only find results that link to profiles of mine.

I know. That's why I'm not too bothered as I stated below that post.

I'm just mad if someone takes this username, as it's most dear to me.

Well, was it just plain Bloodex or was it Bloodex-fire, the one you're using right now?

On another note, I made BHfalcon since last August and since then, there's a governmental submarine named after it. =/

Bloodex. Why is my current name Bloodex-fire? Well, its a long story.

On Serebii, I was on chat, and this girl i met was there. My current name at chat over there was Fire since id been banned using Bloodex a lot. I told her to meat me hear when I first joined. I realized she wont realize me if I was just Bloodex so I named my self Bloodex-fire...

Bloodex is a name of a band Im soon to start as well. xD
he did it, not me.

Nah, mine was inspired by t w e n t y - t w o . 's username, cause we were discussing it and we decided I should get mine changed to .Twenty Six

I probably wouldn't be too mad if someone used it because numbers are pretty much universal and the internet's such a vast expansion of networks and stuff that there's a pretty good chance someone else has a username of Twenty Six or something similar.

I'd probably be annoyed if someone took Slytherfang though, I loved that name D:

Did she remember you, Bloodex?

Why are you banned for using Bloodex a lot? Is there a rule for that?

I made up the name Trap-Eds. I don't know if anybody's copied that though....*searches Google*

Apparently my username has something to with a book and the name of a company. xD

I went by the name The_Emperor after Palpatine from the Star Wars Series.
I chose to add Ice to the name because that is my element in most RPG's, and in my friends and my Original Story.
Ice_Emperor is very suiting to me. Though I prefer Emperor-Fenrisulfr. Fenrisulfr being the Norse Beast who would swallow the sun and plunge the world into Darkness.

The Emperor has Arrived!

My first username... A bit of both, actually XD I used Gold's way of nicknaming Pokemon from PokeSpecial (thus creating "Pikataro"; "Pika" coming from "Pikachu", of course XD).

My current one... Ah, it came from Riviera, so technically it was borrowed.

And my third one (when I get to change my name again)... Since I use it on other accounts... Even if I didn't, it would still be borrowed (I'm thinking "Zuzu" or "Zuzu-kun", which comes from Ruby's male Mudkip, Zuzu, in PokeSpecial).

My user name Zenn was created by me. However, there are a few companies named "Zenn" such as the ZENN Motor Company.
"Zenn" is also a last name (it's not my last name); it is a very rare last name though. I found out about the companies after I "created" my name. I used to love the Megaman Battle Network series for the Gameboy Advance. The currency in the game is known as Zenny. I took out the "y" and the result obviously turned out to be "Zenn"; I thought it sounded cool and I still do.
