I usually have a different handle for every site. After a bit of a wake up call, I decided to pick a new one and stick with it across different sites, forums, and communities for a number of reasons. As to why I picked Aero... well... I had this nifty avatar that I cut out of a large picture sitting around and figured it would be a good name for him. Plus it sounds cool (or at least not totally lame >.>;).

I've always used a variation of LitespeedEXE, originally Lightspeed-EXE, then slowly shortened down. This is the first time I could get my forum name as short as Lite, so I rolled with it.

I've often used it as my characters names in mmo's (Jubiley if I can't spell it right).
One of my favorite X-men, she shoots out fireworks.
Wow -> I play a Priest -> they gave us penance -> looks like fireworks -> hello, Jubi!
Plus, it means to show great joy or satisfaction...and I consider myself an upbeat person! Happiness makes life worth living and all that jazz. #kiratroll

Been using this for years now. It holds a lot of meaning to me. And yes, it's a typo, but I keep it that way. (The correct way would be Kerberos, which is the greek name for the giant three-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. Also the name of a character in Card Captor Sakura.)

Tytonidae is one of the two broader families of owls(the other being Strigidae). More specifically Tyto subspecies barn owls are identified by distinctly heart shaped faces or "masks" and are often called masked owls. I'm a late night kind of guy with a history of insomnia, so I've been called a nightowl, but I thought "Night Owl" was a little too straight forward for a username, and since the iconic barn owl face makes for a nice, simple, monochrome logo to use as an avatar, "Tyto" I became.

this username has stuck with me for a long time. came all the way from an old PS1 game.

Mine has been my nickname for years since all of my IRL friends refer to me as it. I'm actually more known as Rish than my real name.

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

This is my first time using this nick. And, well, I'm probably older than almost all of you, and you should listen to your nii-chan.

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

According to google, 'Twilly' is some character off of a free-mmo called AQ.

According to me, I made it up. :wink: I added the special character, 'ÿ' when I couldn't name my Gnome Rogue on Wow, Twilly...thus began, twillÿ. It's become my alter ego for years now and I go by this as much as I do my real name. ^^ ((I also don't CAPS it on forums for some reason, go figure.))

So there you go. My deep dark persona secret. >.<

-twillÿ.

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

I've had a couple names before my current Username... I created this one a loooooong time ago back when I was first signing up for that old Hot Wheels site that doesn't exist anymore, PlanetHotwheels, by combining the word Super with my last name. The FD was added when I started going by Fierce Deity Suprema, but was too long for some sites, so I shortened it to FDSuprema.

My actual Nickname, Ed, happened when I joined a megaman fansite, two years ago. A friend of mine on that site, back then he was more of an acquaintance, thought my username was too long, so he started calling me Ed, and it caught on with the rest of my friends. Even my family calls me Ed now, despite my actual name being Jordan.

I am an infallible gunner of love. Yeah that's it. Me and my friends were watching Arad Senkai: Slap Up Party and they decided I was like the gunner so they have called me that ever since. I have been the Gunner of Love for 2 years now....

Mine came from FFXI i just kept hitting random till i saw one I liked which took about an hour or so and I still didn't like the i finally picked so I changed the s to a z and then added another z, and I've now had the name for a few years now.

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

My username beats all others....if the contest was for lack of creativity. -_-||| It's simply my first name with random numbers since Louis is a common name. ^_^;;;

It's professional enough to use on all of the forums I'm a member of so that if anyone knows me on any of the other 10-15 forums I post to in a given week, they can recognize me.

I used to go by "Anime6507" from Jr. High to Sr. High...I still even use my original AIM account with that screen name. lol But...it got a little weird as I grew up...not like I'm old or anything....but, after being an ESL teacher for so many years in Asia.........my students would tease me about a screen name like that, and I switched to this variation ever since.

So, it's a long story, as you can see, but very uncreative. ^_~

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

This one time, at Band Camp

Nah, lol. JK.

So, Catilena was the name of my imaginary friend, a giant, 8 foot tall cat with 8 arms, eye stalks+ regular eyes, a tail blade, and birdy wings. Oh, and she was poisonous. She was the defenda of da galaxy YEAH!

As for my name, it started with NeoPets, my first forum. I tried to sign up with just Catilena, but someone else already had it. After a bunch of failed attempts at account creating, I finally came up with 1890 for the end of my name and I just stuck with it. Now, if anyone wants to see if I`m on a website, all they have to do is type in Catilena1890 in the memba search, lol.

I also have alter-ego names, in case something happens to my original account. My Alter egos are:

Catilena1980
Dark_Magician1890
Dark_Magician1980

You should neva have to see my alter-egos though, lol

a while ago a friend of mine decided to make a name for himself that was so long it would confuse people when they ask what his name was, I believe it was Phlipises Deobrastus Bonvastise van Hohenhiem III
when I herd this name, my compettitive spirt came out to match his well thought out title, so I came up with Dophanes Noches Navarious von Raosuke II, and to add a twist to mine, I tell people to just call me "D!". Been going by that name for about 4 years now.... lol

I started using the name "Leviathan" about 11 years ago. I later added the "Mist" on the end when someone at a community had already taken Leviathan, that was about 9 years ago.

Leviathan Mist is a combination of two summons from Final Fantasy 4.

LucJenson; well there's a history behind this already. I was a big reader into the Hellsing series and totally loved Alucard Hellsing so I took his name and formed AlucardJenson (Jenson being the surname of a character I used in a roleplay multitudes of times). From using AlucardJenson I passed through clan after clan (gaming clans) and when I came to a particular clan that I actually stayed with for over a year one member vOn.sCissOrs and I got along really well and I guess were brothers in arms. Haha; from our constant gaming I called him Von and he called me Luc derived from aLUCard. So I took that and just shortened the name to LucJenson. I still use AlucardJenson and LucJenson but Luc has become more accustomed to me it seems. Guess it's 'cause I didn't name myself; someone else did. But yeah, that's the history behind LucJenson.

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

Got mine in a random way (which befits my title as master of madness).

First off shigoshi means 454, 454 itself adds up to 13 (4+5+4=13) and 13 is my day of birth (for those wondering: It was a friday as well, so yeah, 13th of friday. The day of unluck where the world was lucky to witness it's future master of madness!).

The number came to me more from, as I said, random chance. In primary school (don't know what you yanks call it) I had a eraser/rubber (depends on if your mind is in the gutter or you just feel like trying to be a wide-o) which randomly had 454 written on the back of it. My best friend pointed out it added up to 13 and now has been my alias ever since.

As for my creation of the name shigoshi: one of my friends found out what the japanese for shigoshi was and called me it. Now I am shigoshi.

'I am a philosopher, I follow no rules set by anyone except simple lines that I draw on paths I follow. I shall never walk one step in front nor lack one step behind, forever and eternally at your side letting you chose your path willingly. You can ask me, but never expect my answer to tell you which way to go for often it shall only be a question for a question. Soon you will not even notice as I go on my own path, where I go is my choice. But remember, if you follow do not expect me to always lead'

I thought of my nickname a long time ago whilst playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I just randomly fused my name with Link's name and a new nickname was created that day lol.

Alright. I believe it was a Sunday, and I was returning from a long haitus on FFR (Flash Flash Revolution), and I wanted to start anew, so I chose A**Ninja4759.. needless to say, it stuck, and when I came here, I couldn't have it, so I was like.. "Well, if I can't be that kinda ninja, then I will be just the ninja." and it has been that way for like, the last 3 months or so.

"Rydux" has been my username and IGN for years
but its origins lie within a close friend, who's a real fan of Kingdom Hearts, she made a fanmade story of KH, and by request, she added me and made a nobody of said character
thus, she took the letters of my real name R U D Y, and added the traditional X, and in a magical KH DS moment, rearranged them to " R Y D U X"

microgamer is from Wario Ware - I remember playing the demo to the original game without even knowing what the game was; after the first microgamer came up, I lol'd and immediately thought that the gameplay was absolutely ingenious; I still think it's one of the most awesome layouts of a game. I also thought that 'microgamer' would be a good username to have, just 'cause it has a sort of ring to it, and 'micro' works out as a nice shortened version.

the 2vs2 came from when I played double battles on Pokemon NetBattle, I thought that most cool usernames had random numbers appended to the end of them so I thought I'd keep the tag even outside of the Pokemon community.

Re: How'd you decide on your nickname(on the forums)
 

Well, my friends at school were always coming up with nicknames for each other. When I complained to one of my friends (who didn't go to my school) that no one could come up with a nickname for me, she started calling me Haku. Well, Haku is taken in most places, so I add Heika. Heika is pretty much a word I just pulled out a dictionary, but there's more meaning to it, as well.

Heika means 'Emperor' in Japanese. I didn't choose it to call myself some high title, though. I liked how the word sounded, but also, it was because of a friend of mine who moved away a long time ago.
Her last name was Huang, which is Chinese for either Yellow or Emperor. (And some other, not as relevant things.) So, when I saw it, I thought it was perfect, and used it.

I've only been using Haku for less than a year, as opposed to my other name, though.

As for my older online name (which I've been using for about 6 years now), Omni-X, It was originally Omnimon, after my favorite Digimon. Then I saw the X-Evolution movie and added an -X. And since people called me Omni for short, it became Omni-X, or Omnix. In the event that those were taken, I'd sometimes use variations, like Omnis, or Omnisx.
