Title: What does your SN mean?
Post by: Macawmoses on April 08, 2009, 08:35:36 PM
With all of the name changes lately, this is a great time to ask. What does your screenname mean?

Mine is a reference to NDP Leader of Canada, Jack Layton. At the time I went for the Layton name, the other staff at OLF had Emperor and King attached, so I figured Lord also worked well.

Furthermore, the fact the name goes with Professor Layton, one of my favorite DS titles, makes it twice as awesome.

How about yours?

Um, nothing really. I just made it up one day. D:
Silverhawk came from me trying to join a clan in Starsiege, and I had to be a bird. Everything was taken so I made one up. 79 is just there because it sounds cool.

MasterLink was taken, so I got "creative" and made it what it is now. Plus, Young/Toon Link was/is my main in Melee/Brawl.

SkyMyl is Skybreaker and MasterYoungLink abbreviated and combined. Nothing special behind this one.

I bought Metal Gear Solid a week before I made this nickname. I haven't played the game since.

I kind of regret it, but I stuck with it because I can't think of anything better.

I've always doodled.
I'm a boy.
The 99 is just a random number.
Thus forming DOODLEboy99.

My current name I made up a long time ago. The one I used here not that long ago is the name of the main character of a story I started writing last year that I plan on finishing (well, starting over, actually) eventually.

I was gonna ask why there were so many name changes while I was gone... Was there a fad that I missed?
Also, my name means nothing, it was just some random name I came up with and it stuck.

Silver gave people the ability to freely change thier names.  And surprise surprise, it's been abused like hell.

We now have the ability (if you missed that) to change names ourselves. So...people are just being silly.

Is Kilroy a popular name used? Because one of my friends has something to do with that name, I heard him use it a few times, or write it on paper or something, I just remember him using it.

Magnum. Ever shot one? It's amazing. Best feeling ever to have all that force push against you as you try to keep the aim on the target. God I love it.
Sonic. Believe it or not it's not after Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm actually not that big of a fan. I did it mostly for the Sonic Boom. Breaking the speed of sound. Once again to me that just seems amazing.
555. I like the number 5. And 3 is another good number, especially combined with a :

Well, first you have "yes," as in, a confirmation of something, or a reference to the almighty YES dance.
Then, you have "Derek," my name, spelled correctly, and no other way is correct.

I thought it was only from Professor Layton.

No idea where mine was from, I wanted something original so I took letters and combined them until I came up with this.  My newer alias is from a tripcode.
