What's in a Name?? History Behind YOUR Name!

-first of all, forgive my english-

When i was young, i used to be a smash player ((okok until today)) and well, the announcer pronounced "Bowser" like "Faunter".

A friend said "i want to be Faunter!" he was new to the nintendo world, so I laughed so hard with my friends by that. I always had that moment with me... and the time made me to get attached to that name...so now i use "Faunter" for myself

One of Tifa's limit breaks from FF7. Not super original and there's no real story behind it, I just really like FF7
 
I'm terrible with thinking of names, so i always try to just get my name and sometimes i get lucky.
 
j is my first name J*******
a is my middle name A*****
m is my last name M******
12 is my month D*******
20 is my day T****

So, back before Tera was even in closed beta I signed up for a forum account under the name slayertera and I randomly started using it everywhere (I think it might be related to me making an XBLA account not on somebody else's console). All I know currently is that account definitely doesn't exist anymore.
 
well before i chose my name to be SHODAN, i wanted to named myself The last Cuzcatlec ( which is the indigenous people of El Salvador) and i wanted to call myself that but i felt like a an asshole doing that because people who lump there race or ethic group together in most cases take their pride too seriously and are easily offended and i didnt want to get lumped in that group. the reason i did it was because i love history and lost cultures. so i went with Infected on Steam and SHODAN on here. Infected is a name i got in the fps world when a friend made a joke in quake 1 about me camping in RL area or Pentagram area. then they said that i infect the area with my disease and the name stuck afterwards and i named my self Infectedcloud (witch is my twitch name as well )before switching to SHODAN.

Colossi has been my nickname my whole life. It's the plural of Colossus, who are great and powerful creatures, and I really like the sound of it.

It's also, completely by coincidence, my last name.
really
 
So many, many years ago, I was in a band called Pirate-on-a-Stick, and we went by "POS" for short because lolPOS. When we started making some t-shirts, our drummer came up with the name "POS Industries" as the name of our merchandising arm, and I ended up really liking the name and using it for anything POS-related in general at the time, and then ended up just sorta keeping it for the next forever after we broke up.

Vladislav is my first name and Paizis is a pun on Pisces. Apparently, Paizis is a real surname, but I can't find its origins.

Also, I used to be known as Vlad7779311 and that is still my PSN name. What's the deal with the numbers? I just like the music of Prince and his proteges like Sheila E and The Time. The Time have a song called "777 9311".

Well, this is one of my like 5 internet aliases.
Felarine came from my old MoltenWOW days, and its what I got from the name generator. Hasn't been taken anywhere, so I use it. Often get people who don't know how to pronounce it, ahah. (Fel-ah-reen, NEVER Fel-ah-rine)
Shocked my dad when he said to follow the family gamertag-naming style because "it would be taken", then I got the gamertag.
I also go by Neostill, MsMeowzers (thanks 7 year old me!), Hydrads, and Hina (very rarely).
 
that one came from when I was 14-ish, that explains pretty much easily the text part...
didn't see the interest of changing it for too long, now i'm totally unable to find an original one i like.
at least the numbers make it more smart, i guess (if you don't know what is the reference for 451, the only possible excuse is "my resistance to depression is too low for that book")

actually, i'm usually more interested in knowing the meaning of numbers in names (I know it's usually random, but i can't just not ask)
 
Back in when I was a little PiB, Jr. I used to be incredibly obssessed with Twisted Metal. I found a forum called Twisted Metal Alliance. Because everybody had TM themed names, I wanted to be one of the cool kids and have one too. One of the songs featured in the game was "Paint It, Black" by The Rolling Stones. I decided because it related to TM and nobody has used it I'd use it. Although I made it internet friendly by leaving out the "c" and putting hyphens in between. Even since then it's been my alias for most of my internet "career".

I don't call myself "Superstar" because I think of myself as one, or maybe I'm just lying. Superstar's from Mario Party(the winner of a board), and 360 because I thought it was a cool number...
 
Mine's from a Conan O'Brien skit from the Late Night days. I don't even remember what it was about. It was a picture of Conan with a handlebar mustache and his name was Cyrus Weatherbee. I know that it was the funniest thing in the world to me. So I stole it. 10+ years and goin' strong!

Its... uh... My name.

My parents gave it to me. I like it.
 
I like his name as well.
 
There are two people that live in my head that make up my general persona:

Jonesboro: An emaciated cannibal who smokes and had crooked, yellow teeth; much like a rat. He's an outlaw living on scraps and drifters.

Joan: A depressed woman in her early 30s with shoulder-length hair and a good heart but she's too down on herself to ever realize it. Her husband may have been taken from her in an accident. I'm not sure.

I tried telling a girl about this in highschool and she started calling me "Jonesboro". Thus, I was Jonesboro ever since.

Like most people, I inherited my name from a long family tree spanning around eight years.
 
My username is short for LEft SIde Of THe (dr/br/p)AIN
Years back I was trying to come up with ideas for a comic book, 'left side of the drain' was something I wrote in one of the drawings and I thought that would make a good title. Later on I tried making it in to one word, first it was lesiothdra (LEftSIdeOfTHeDRAin) but I changed it once I realized that if it ended with AIN it could stand for brain/pain as well. I never got around to actually making that comic book, but always liked how I came up with the word lesiothain.

It's my real name combined with part of my Youtube username, which was a name I came up with in 10 seconds.
 
My name is Rubén
then you pronounce the R, read the V and pronounce the N (all of this in spanish)
then you get "r" "uve" "n" = "RVN".

Gorronegro comes from another story, i used to show up with a hat everywhere, no matter how warm the weather was, in the warmest days, people joked about the hat having it's own life and ecosystem, taking advantage of this, i made an account on a social network for the hat, surprisingly, it ended up having like 7 times my original account had, there's where the "gorro" pretty much became a thing.

The "negro" part is a simple thing, i thought "gorronegro" sounded pirate as fuck so i decided to keep it that way.

It was during Christmas, I was an eating apple and playing Persona 4 with the Jack Frost persona equipped and a new name was born.
 
When i was a wee lil noobling i fell in with a click of taggers... I had to have a name and i decided on exit... Cause hey... I didnt even need to tag... I was already up in doorways across America... So after that little bit of genius i also decided i would try my hand at rapping... But exit was a terrible rap name so i decided to throw dimension in front of it... Now i was dimension exit. Weird but it worked for the lyrical peeps. After awhile i didnt like how long dimension exit was so i switched it up to dimension x... But that didnt work... I was like a galaxy or some far off nebula in a parallel universe... So i decided to just abbreviate the whole thing and call myself dime_x for my rap name and the homies would call me dime. That was 15 years ago, i still go by dime.
 
During the time of the beginning of the new age. The 3 gods feared that the new age would become their downfall as man started to not believe in the old stories as technology started to rise. In an effort to remind man of them the gods came down to the mortal world and told man to remember who created them. Man did not listen. Instead of praise and love for the gods men called them fakes and said how the gods are nothing but myths.
The gods were enraged that all these men defy them. The gods decided to show them their power as they pulled out their legendary weapons to destroy homes and ate whole families. Man started to plead to the gods for forgiveness but the gods did not listen as they know man will forget them again in time. The gods started tearing up the mountains and drinking the sea as these were all gifts from the gods. In the heat of panic and chaos among the people a young man came forth to challange the gods.
The gods looked down on him and grew even more enraged as now they see man has decided to try to fight the gods. The gods picked up the young man and wanted to bind him in chains to the darkness where he would have died, but the gods did not count on what the man was carrying with him as they lifted him. As the young man was close enough to them he did the act of which no man had ever done before...shove pie in one of the gods face.
The god that got a face full of apple was so confused that the young man took his sword and stabbed him in the chest. the other gods were shocked as this happend and tried to burn the man but the power in the sword protected him from the flames. One of the gods decided to behead him with his weapon, an axe that can cut through the hardest mountans and the hottest stars. The young man lead him to his home where he grabbed another pie and blinded the god with pumpkin. The young man then stabbed him in the back as the god turned on him.
The other god fearful that this mortal man was going after him next picked to bind the young man in chains so he shall not move. The god stared down on him as he was going to swing his sword across his neck but the people who stopped to watch on threw pie at the god to move the young man away and free him. The man was freed and stood in front of the humilated god. The god did not want to die by the hands of the man picked to end his own life but not without sending the young man to an eternal damnation for what he as done. The young man was never seen again.
People praise the young man as a hero who saved them from doom as he was armed with pies. People named him The Hero Of Pie and sing songs about him but little do they know is that in his prison of damnation houses a laptop from the future where he can play Skullgirls and write about his tales on forms like this for you see i am The Hero Of Pie.
...
Or i got my name from pies and Zelda
