Title: Why'd You Pick Your Name?
Post by: JrDude on May 23, 2008, 09:17:52 PM
Why did you pick the name you have here?
And if it's the name that you have somewhere else, why did you pick it there?

106 = 10/6 (my birthday)

I sort of chose it just because I always played Wifi. And Wifi=error codes. :D I really didn't give it thought, but I don't regret choosing it. It's unique, yet simple and easy to remember. :O

When I first joining oldsider, I couldn't think of anything cool for a screen name. So after re-renting custom robo for several weeks untill my mom wouldn't drive to hollywood video anymore to check it out again, I stayed with that. Custom Robo is still pretty fun. Also, 13 is my favorite number. Yeah....

Your name doesn't have "Rayquaza" by itself, so you're not a pokemon. Much less a legendary.

Because "Kaz" sounds better than "Kazooie-Banjo."

And because Banjo-Kazooie is one of my favorite games.

My natural hair color is red, Paige is my middle name, and the number 13 is a lucky number in my family.

I've got the same name on other places because I'm unoriginal, and for that off chance that someone might recognize me from oldsider.

Post by: sonicdude164 on May 24, 2008, 05:59:54 AM
When I signed up for a nintendo.com account, I liked sonic a lot at the time (he's still the best!), so I made it sonicdude164. Dude because I'm a guy and 164 because of Nintendo 64, dunno where the 1 came from though.

But then I had to pick a different name for the forums on there, so I chose koolman8889, probably had the numbers randomly generated.

I use sonicdude164 for pretty much every username I have.

Post by: Zovistograt on May 24, 2008, 06:37:53 AM
looks like the search function isn't functioning properly today, so I can't copypasta my long paragraph...here's the abridged version.


4th grade: had to come up with an original name for a book.  I just kept saying random crap until I said "Zovistograt" and I thought it was cool.  I never actually wrote the book.

6th grade: in our school system, the cool thing to do was to form ridiculous organizations and clubs.  My friends and I created one called Zovistograt because I somehow remembered that.

7th grade: that fell apart.  Then I started using the name "The Zovistograt" on a few small sites...not really forums, but some sites.

8th grade: I registered for NSider, and since MR.GAME_AND_WATCH was taken (where'd that guy go anyways) I thought of Zovistograt again.  I realized that the "The" was unneeded, so I used Zovistograt.

9th grade: I found Zovistograt to be a good original name that is never taken, so I started using it for everything

11th grade: I registered here lolwut

Post by: THEEVILSPERKY on May 24, 2008, 11:30:23 AM
Sperky is actually a combination of my first and last names.  The school systems would take a fixed amount of letters from your last name and then a small amount from your first and then end your name in the graduation year.  Some years the graduation year was used first.  So... 07sperky or sperky07.  That became our s/n for using the computers at the school.  It's the first 4 of your last and first 2 of your first so you can guess "ky" is from Kyle.

Everyone else's names came out kinda randomish and not really catchy like mine... my computer teacher was like.. "Aw, Sperky, like a dog!" in a reference to a common name for dogs (Sparky).  So yeah, I didn't always appreciate the name.  My friends however loved it and it became a nickname.  Some people still call me that on occasion, while others only call me that.

When in elementary school, my house was the farthest within the allotted distance for a walker so I never took the bus 'cause I'd rather not.  Each of my friends would head home at his/her sidestreet until it was just me and then I was basically home.  I mentioned this journey because at lunch then.. I'd be given people's jello if I'd carry their books home.. so for every person who gave me jello, I'd carry their bookbags and I looked ridiculous.. but it got easier as I got closer to home 'cause people would take their stuff.. but they felt a little bad so it only happened a few times.

Wearing a green hoody everyday, I became named as the Jello Demon, or The Green Jello Demon (of Doom.. we had fun extending the name).. 'cause for some reason, we associated demons with the color green, or I somewhat did, and I was a demon of jello... and green was also my favorite color and the color of my hoody as I previously stated.

That lead to The Evil Sperky.. demons = evil... so... yeah.  I forget if I created it or if someone else said it first, but that's that.

I barely got any sleep so I know I'm rambling and repeating myself.. but you get the idea...

I used to use sords4, well because LoZ:Four Swords had just came out, and Zelda was my favorite game, but then I felt it was a tad out of date, so I had to come up with a new one.

"L" From Death Note + Ichigo from Bleach + 0(Zero) from Code Geass = Lichig0...saying Lichizero is stupid so Lichig0(said Lichigo)

And those are my favorite anime so...yea. I use it everywhere, but some places I'm still known as sords4.

Well oks then.

The story on my other Screen Names include:

Webhamster6 - I loved the internet. My first original character I had created was the Super Hamster Nibbles.  I was born on the 6th.

Almighty Wrath - Just before choosing the name I was dealing with anger issues I had so made the screen name to keep myself from losin my cool on the net.

Sgt.Chilly - A nickname I got from playing Ratchet and Clank Online that I really liked.

Dimitri Vanguard - The name Dimitri was something I have always been fond of and the name Vanguard was the term for a group of special defense forces from either a book or game.

RedMage - My favorite class in FF5.  They represented a balance of offense and defense that really attracted me.

TimeMage - My Favorite class in FFT.  They were really fun to use becuse of their oddd abilities.

TheMaskedMan - A reference to the number of aliases I have.  An attempt at irony by being honest about hiding my identity.
