Title: How did you get your Nickname?
Post by: Chimpas on October 13, 2009, 04:46:51 PM
I got my nickname due to my hair, is rarely wavy, but when I was a baby my hair was blond, in the secondary I had it really long, and to the long haired people here at mexico are called Chimpas, a chimpa is a bit of long and messed hair, a teacher started to call me chimpas, then everybody started, but I have another nicks as Zapatito (little shoe), Ricitos de oro (golden wavys) and Greñuda (its like a way to say 'you long and bad combed hair') but that doesn't make me mad

Runnerguy for me was because of how much running I do in real life, but it of course applies well to speed running as well.

2489 is my birth date, 2/4/89.

My first username was Anime-tion when I was 13 cuz i liekd animu lawl
But people on a forum i regularly went to would constantly refer to me as Ani, so that part of my username always stuck with me.

As for the meowzerz bit, I have no clue. probably some huge furry outburst or some shit I dunno. I've always been able to use it wherever I go with no worries of it being taken, so yeah.

Mine stands for my old NSider Screen Name, ShadowDude2.  I was called that quite a bit by the forum members there, so I guess it stuck.

I was...  I believe 12 at the time.

anyway, i got my name cause i thought the word ice was cool so i added something to the end of that, then i added 007 to the end of that

I pretty much stuck with that for about 8 years.

Not taken from ice breakers gum though i do like eating them...

A few years back I came up with the most amazing and original name.
Toes R Us.
Youtube and forums didn't allow spaces in names so I made it Toesrus.
People didn't know how to pronounce it, they kept saying Toesaurus like a dinosaur.
I shortened it to Toes.
A legend was born.

Uhm, you know where I got my username from.
I'm also known as Gazile. I got that name from a song called "Let's Play Some Tetris Motherfucker", there is a part of the song where he says "Can you feel it" and i thought he said "gaziley" and I took away the "y" because I like it like that. Weird story i guess. :P

My name is pretty obvious to figure out. When creating a youtube account I was playing some Mario Party and one of my favorite minigames was "pokey pummel" Then the 17 was my lucky number. Also in 6th grade a person just came out of nowhere and said," I name you Pokey now"



Title: Re: How did you got your Nickname?

Post by: UchihaSasuke on December 06, 2009, 08:03:19 AM
my old nickname that i used since 2000 up to last year was PiccoloCube and it was inspired by 2 things. my favorite Dragon Ball character was Piccolo and at the time the GC was being announced (i got this nick weeks after the announcement)
then i got bored of it and changed it in almost every forum but i had to keep it in youtube because they don't allow nickname changes and i didn't want to make a new account.
the current one is easy to guess.

Post by: BlueStarReturns on December 16, 2009, 05:31:56 PM
Well, mine is a long story, but I'll shorten it... unless you like details, then oh well.

My very first online handle was BlueStar810 and it was on GameFAQs.com. As for choosing it, I like stars and of course, they look blue for the most part. The "810" part is my birthday, August 10th.

For two years, I had that account name. Then, I decided for some reason that I didn't want to be on GFAQs anymore so I deleted it. However, realizing I had made some acquaintances on the OoT Board, I decided six months later to come back to GFAQs.

Thus, BlueStarReturns was born. The name signifies my return to GameFAQs and has stuck ever since, except for the rare SDA and Ustream accounts, which fall back to BlueStar810 and BlueStar81089 (my full birthday, 8/10/89) respectively.

Finally, when I created a commentaries channel (mainly video games, some movies/shows) on Youtube, the name also became BlueStarCommentaries.

Whew! That was a lot of explaining!

Man, am I older than everyone on this board? o_O I'm only 22...

Anyway, I go by lots of different names but lately this one has stuck with me. It's really simple--Mercury for Sailor Mercury (I love the live action Sailor Moon) and Zelda for, um, Princess Zelda. Plain as that, really.

I also went by And40FeetRemain for a while, which is a reference to one of my favorite Franz Ferdinand songs, "40'".

My real name is Emily and I have about 50 nicknames which correspond to that. I don't try to come up with anything based on it for websites, though, as there's been an explosion of people named Emily within the last decade. I used to be unique :'(

MrSparkle came from some weird online forum software that had a really strange name that sounded like sparkle. After far too long of not noticing this, i realized it was a perfect new nick (I had been really not liking the old LinkTetra one for weeks). Shortly after someone said I should use MrSparkle instead, I did not know why, but went with it. Not until later did I learn of this Mista Sparkulu thing :/

100x better than the old one, what was I thinking when i thought it up...

Post by: MarcusSDA on February 03, 2010, 06:41:25 PM
My current name isn't much of a nickname as you can see. But my old ZeldaTPrunner name I had because I practiced TP alot before I joined YT and did my speed run. MarcusSDA, it was because I didn't like ZeldaTPrunner anymore and I didn't know what to call myself either. So I chosed MarcusSDA because my name is Marcus (obviously) and I only had an SDA acc at that time.

Post by: Ænlgån on February 06, 2010, 04:34:49 PM
My actually username is Nin10Gamer. I came up with it because I wanted something original and unique that showed who I am, basically a Nintendo freak.

Ænlgån, however, was made when I made a Mii with a similar name. The name actually comes from "Anglo" as in "Anglo-Saxon", a Germantic tribe that invaded England sometime after the collapse of the Roman Empire (476AD).  However, it was the Anglos that invaded; Saxons are in Germany (If I am correct). The Æ and å are Norwegian/Danish letters. The Æ is pronounced like A as in apple and the å is pronounced like O as in over. There is also a reference to the Greek alphabet in my name. Alpha and Omega- the sounds they make are the same as the Norwegian/Danish letters. This was completely unintentional, though.  ;)

When I first wandered into the world of internet forums, specifically the NSider forums, I had to come up with a random name that reflected my interests at the time. I considered myself more of a Pokemon enthusiast than any other specific franchise, so I came up with the nickname PokeMasterInTraining. Over time that got shortened down into PMIT, and I've never seen any need to change that.

I was interested in Pivot Stick Figure Animations at the time. I wanted to make an account on Youtube after the famous PivotMasterDX Animator, So I put in something like GuyofPivotDX or whatever. But youtube said the name was taken and it suggested PivotguyDC1, "DC" being my initials and I don't know where the fuck YT got "1" from.

It stuck.

P.S. and I never made a Pivot Animation. Balls to it

That's where the one comes from. If a website suggests a name with a number after, it usually means that the original and lower numbered names have already been taken.

Since a little while back, I've been having the name MacMan17 sometimes. Mac, since my name is Marcus I randomly thought it would be cool to call myself Mac. I actually didn't get it from the computers Mac. However, then I added Man to it to make it sound cooler and then 17 since I'm 17 and that is somewhat my lucky number and the one I though was the best.

When I was like 9 or 10 or something I started to play a MMO called Pristontale. They wanted me to have a nick but I didn't have any good ideas so I just put something that I was; a primate. But I spelled it in Swedish and added my d.o.b. 91 and Primat91 was born.

A couple years later, I was unsatisfied with the name but didn't have the energy or will to create new youtube accounts etc. My neighbour called himself ZampraZ so I called myself TimpZ to associate our accounts in some way :p. But then I just started to name every new account to TimpZ so it's a bit mixed out there on the web :p.

my current nickname comes from being a dumbass who listened to too much blink 182 while growing up and didn't take time in picking a username.

the nickname that i used a lot before my current one was ZibaLaZiba. i originally came up with it for my troll shamen in WoW (got to lvl 17!) while trying to make a "mexican-sounding" name. i guess Z's are cool too  :P i had to change it one day though because i pissed off axon or something and dropped out of following speedrunning for a month before i came back with a new identity.

I wish i picked a decent username at some point in my life though   :'(

I thought of making a cool name instead of putting "ferny" or "burnindriver900" on everything that has a username. I first got my username from playing burnout paradise on the 360 while looking at my showtime scores. I beaten all offline scores with 8,000,000 points then came up "blaze factor". Thought it was a little dull so I added "blazing". Now I use it where ever I do.

lambdaN = when i played cs actively a few years ago & i was like 10 or something like that, it was cool (i thought atleast) with names that ended with a big N so i just took the lambda symbol and put a N after it. i hate this name now i might add, but some sites dont allow 3 letters only so i use that then ;)

Well, my first online username would have to be Nooz. I'm not completely sure how I had gotten it. I guess sine my in real life name is Nick, my friends always said i was cool, so thats Noo, and  always liked the letter z since I grew up, not knowing many words that contained it. I think I adapted from Nooz to Nooz_1 when i was maybe 11 Years old and I was registering for a forum. Then, just june or july of this year, I started playing World of Warcraft. As I never was truely creative, I decided to use the random name generator. At first I was quite skeptical if the RNG could give good names since it gave me wierd names such as Yuwidenar, and Guenthar. Then it gave me Fenrikaz. And thats how I got my usernames. Oh, and MY FIRST POST ON ZSR! :D

Command & Conquer was one of my favourite series for a while. Tiberian Sun had online multiplayer so I ended up making an online account to play. Being the arrogant 7 year old I was, I decided upon the name War Champ, though spaces were not allowed. So I settled for Warchamp and tacked on my age to show the world the cool cat that I was.

Contrary to popular belief, I DON'T believe Samus and Link should have a relationship. My brother's friend's name for just about everything is LokiXRiddle (Loki is the Norse god of mishief or something, pretty sure he just thought the name was badass. Riddle as in Tom Riddle). My brother then made a YouTube account called CloudXMuad'Dib (cungratzes if you know what Muad'Dib is from). So following the trend, I made my name consist of my two favorite videogame characters. Unfortunately, I didn't know that X means 'loves' when I was 10...

Ok, I used to go by alknight87 when i first made my runescape account (name is alex irl, and i wanted to be a knight, 87 was a random number to use the name). I was watching Xplay one day and i saw a review for god of war, and it looked bad ass. So i started using the name Wargod87. My brother logan was making an account for runescape, and he needed help coming up with a name. I told him to call his character Logburner, He added 99 to the end of it cause he is obsessed with having the number 99 in all sports games he makes a character in. Now i was allowed to make my first youtube account (mum was nazi bout it for a while saying i was "too young") and logan wanted to have a youtube account as well, but couldnt have one. so i made a shared account with the name warburner (it sounded better than loggod) we stuck with 87 cause it sounded cooler than 99. after a while, logan got his own youtube account and that name has become mine :)
