Why did you choose to make the username you have now?

One time I was lurking the Nintendo N-sider forums, when I saw this guy named Eternal Smasher. He had an avatar of a smash ball, and his signature had this cool saying in it.
I thought that name was pretty awesome and mysterious, so I've used that name on most of the forums I've joined.

Well Kwesi Nkromah is my first and last name in real life, so there's no surprise there. I think i got the master idea from a couple of popular members of PE2K. heh, go figure.

Metalocalypse; Murderface was the Bass player for the band "Dethklok," and for some reason his humor just always got to me xD
I've left PC.

Why? I'm tired of all the people here who think they're cooler than they actually are, I'm tired of the way certain people get away with things, just because they're friends with the staff here, I'm tired of all the raging teen-angst contained within these forums I'm tired of the way no one knows how to take a joke anymore, I'm tired of how I've been treated by the people I've thought to be my "friends" here, and I'm tired of all the unwanted drama PC has caused in my life over the past several months.

Plus, Pokemon just sucks anyways.

Mr.Altosax...I wonder...Maybe I play the Alto Saxophone?

Ok actually there's more than that. An older friend of mine has always had the e-mail Mr.Frenchhorn (he plays the french horn), so I decided to steal his idea and call myself Mr.Altosax and it just stuck.

My username was inspired by a few things:
1.This was a pokemon forum and I felt I needed a relevant username
2.I love pokemon

Here's a break down of it.
Poketrainer-the first part and basically it's shorthand for Pokemon Trainer.
It also serves as a reminder of my dream to someday become the world champion of pokemon games.
2004- this is the year that I joined PC. I added that to my username because it seemed too short and I wanted to remember the year 2004 because that was an awesome year here at PC and in my own Real Life.

Hmm... well it was part of something else that I'd came up with earlier with nicknames.

Fire + Lava = Flava
Flava + a random "quil" became Flavaquil. Well... not really random, Cyndaquil. XD

Oh, and the hyphens are there because they're awesome. XD

Blah, several years ago I didn't know what to put as a username so I just used my cat's name. XD That cat passed away a couple years ago, though. I changed it a couple of times after that happaned, but all of my internet friends already knew me as Muffin, so I decided to keep it in the end. Sometimes I do go by variations like "Moofin" (and more recently "Poffin") though. :D

When I was a kid, I had some sort of "big book of questions and answers" that was utterly filled with info on various things...and one question went along the lines of "what are cowrie shells?" At the time, all I caught from it was that they were used for bartering and such, but anyways, moving on.

Well, fast forward to 2001 - I had just joined someone's roleplaying group, and I needed a name for a furret character I'd made up. For some reason I remembered that question about the cowrie shells and thought that "Cowrie" sounded good for a name, so I used it.

Fast forward again to 2004, when I joined this forum. I wanted a name that wasn't the handle I usually used on the internet, since I was getting bored with it, and I'm bad with thinking up usernames on the fly. By that time I wasn't using the character mentioned above anymore, so in a fit of nostalgia or something I decided I'd take that name for myself since I didn't want to take a long time in thinking up another name.

So yeah.

I've been asked this so many times that I just copy the same answer from my LJ...

When I was beginning to write Digimon fanfiction, one of my favorite pieces to read for inspiration was the unpublished "DeviDestined". It's not found on any website. The fic was written by my brother. He never finished the darn thing.

One of the characters in the fic goes by the name "Michael Tabris". Well, Michael has a sister by the name of Hanako Tabris. When I wanted a good name to call myself on the Pokemon forums, and become known as, "Hanako Tabris" seemed to be a pretty good name. Unfortunately, I picked up the habit of calling myself by that name in the real world. (Heck, I would introduce myself as Hanako if I thought I could get away with it.)

"Hanako" means "child of the flower", and "Tabris" is the angel of free will from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

No, it has nothing to do with Ash's mother's Japanese name, despite the fact that I use this name on a Pokemon forum. xD I use this name everywhere that I go online, no matter what.

I needed a unique name that fit me. I stayed up nights trying to find a neat, simple yet crafty one that I thought was pretty cool. I decided on this one because the one before (which IMO i better) was a name for an accoutn I had on a game in which I no longer play.
