    So I've seen all kinds of usernames on here, lots of interesting ones too. In some cases, the meaning behind the username is obvious. There are, however, many that remain a mystery.

    So if you choose to share it, why did you choose your username, and what's the meaning behind it?

    And to avoid the inevitable 'u first' posts, I'll just leave this as my explanation:
    Spoiler:
     
    Really this one is just something random that I came up with, I originally made the account just to download rom hacks so I didn't think too much about the username lol

    My old account (the one I forgot existed) was just the name of my 2nd favorite song (Karma Police) and something I kinda use a lot as a username because I'm not creative lol
     
    TY, short for TYranitaR... based off of the Pokemon Tyranitar

    before that it was ShadowE, short for ShadowExcadrill... because I was a edgy kid who liked Excadrill

    Also, it's a middle voice range between soprano and alto, but it mostly is the image above.

    I saw an enemy in Super Mario RPG named "zeostar" and stored that in my head as a username down the line.
     
    Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is one of my favorite video games and there is a group called XNaut in this game who are funny.
     
    I took my username from an anime character with the same username.

    Honestly, I don't think people should be allowed to name themselves most of the time, because they usually try to pass themselves off as cooler or better than they actually are. No way I can be a Taro in real life. -w-
     
    It's just my real name shortened and the 98 is my birth year.
     
    Alright, so this came about back in 2015.

    Before I came over and established myself here, I used to frequent an IRC channel for some Mario fangame called Super Mario Bros. X, which some of you may know, which in turn was affiliated with this game's forums. At the time I used to go under the name of castlewars, a name that I had been using for years prior (since 2010, in fact!) which I didn't mind, but some channel op decided to kick me as a joke, thanks to the name, and the kick message was "I don't like wars in castles". As expected, I got a little pissed considering everyone seemed to hate me and in the past I've had people mocking my name and making offshoots of it, and this was the event that prompted me to change my name.

    I wanted to use "Link", but due to my fast-fingered typing my finger slipped and it ended up as "Linik" and I settled with it. This also came about when I was going through a Zelda phase after deciding to pick up and try out OoT3D for the first time. The "Hero" part came about slightly later when creating my YouTube channel. I don't mind the name now, to be honest, despite evoking shades of that one moment.

    Long story short: a finger slip led to the current state of my name.
