Your username

[Sheep]

This thread is for discussing the meaning of your usernames. Surely your chosen online names have some sort of meaning behind them, right? Be it your favorite Pokemon or just a word you thought sounded nice. You can discuss names as well as comment on others' posts here, of course. :)

[Corey]

Typhlosion is my favorite Pokemon, and conveniently, Pokedex entries state that Typhlosion can cause huge explosions. And it rhymes. c:

[TheProtobabe]

I cosplay as Proto Man from the Mega Man series from time to time. "Protobabe" is what a few people at a convention/concert starting calling me, and it stuck ;)

[Monbrey]

I made it up as a name for an IRC script I wrote when I was about 12. Name stuck with me.

[shaymin]

I made it up.

....I'm serious. The inspirational basis for this name came from space. It's a spin-off of "Astral", so I decided to play with the word, and all of a sudden, came up with this username!

[CommBA]

Long story short, my best friend and I were bored one day and started to imagine our group of friends in a super hero filled world. We dubbed me as Commander Badass, and eventually for online stuff it was shortened to CommBA.

[FedoraChar]

I fell in love with Charmander when I watched the anime way back when, so it's become one of my favorite Pokemon of all time.

The 009 actually came from the year I graduated high school, believe it or not--it actually has nothing to do with Cyborgs. ...For those of you old enough to remember that... Which I hope aren't many... Originally I intended to use Charmander09, but it was taken when I signed up for my first account on some random forum. SO I ADDED A ZERO AND IT WORKED 8D

[MuddyMudkip]

Well, with Mudkip being my favorite Pokemon, I guess there's no question as to how this username came about! xD Erm, for the Muddy part, I dunno - it was the first thing that came to mind with I thought of something to match Mudkip.

[Voltaire Magneton]

It should be "Voltaire Megaton" which is a superhero from a TV series. I though it sounded cool, and with Pokemon touches, tada! Voltaire Magneton! xDD

[[Desolate Divine]]

I wanted to have Cobalt On Pe2k but that was taken, and Cobalt on pe2k was inactive and therefore near impossible for me to contact and convince him to have it changed. So I did Cobalt Shadow. Now that PXR is open, there is no Cobalt, so I took the username.

[JokesterJesse]

I'm cheesy and wanted my name in my username bc I am self centered. :-)

[SassySnivy]

Way back when, I was really into the Sonic fandom with my two best friends. My original fancharacter, after a while, we figured was just too...well, too far gone. So I made a new one, based on a Chao I had in SA2B. Originally the Chao's name was Speedy, but when I made that iconic character, we changed it to Speed-X. I have long since forgotten about that fancharacter, but hey...maybe I should draw her again. Maybe I should make her my avatar or something, just because. XD

My first AOL username is SpeedXaaa. Reason: the "-" symbol wasn't valid, neither was just "SpeedX." So since I like to make my scoreboard name "aaa" in a lot of arcade games and such, I just stuck with that. Speed-X and SpeedXaaa have been my usernames since I could remember, more the latter than the former though.

Of course, for a while I was going with the username Jirachi, or moreso "Jirachi the Chao." This was when I was in my Chaomon phase, lol.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

My username came from a funny incident on the PE2K Wi-Fi Leauge's Xat Chat. I was alone with a bot named Tazz-who I could tell was a bot because of his message being the same as others who 'claimed' to have a new Xat chat up and running. I naturally mocked him, sending him off with the following message "THE NONEXISTANT TAZZ HAS LEFT THE BUILDING." (or something like that). It stuck in my mind as something wicked to call myself.

That, and the abbreviation is "TNT." That alone would be enough.

[SockPuppet]

I made 'Casadriel' up, as I was trying to come up with a brother and sister duo that had names that sounded nice. Casadriel is the male counterpart of the duo!

[Teo]

My name played a small role in an RPG game released nearly 10 years ago. I thought the name was simple and elegant. From then on I've used it as my own.

[Bulbasaur]

Well, Bulbasaur is my favorite Pokemon. That is why I chose that name.

[Palamon]

Well, it came to me in 2008. I think it had a different meaning at the time. I used to pretend to be a Breloom on the internet, and Palamon was a seperate meaning for Breloom at some point in my mind. Now I have no idea what it means, but this name means a lot to me and it is therefore my idenity. I don't want to change that.

[Shozuka]

I made it up a few years ago and for some reason I stuck with it.

[EmeraldSky]

Emerald--the birthstone for May, said to represent luck and health; The third Pokemon game of Gen 3
Sky: What Rayquaza (the mascot of Emerald) rules over

[Homura]

I haven't changed my username for like 12 years, so I changed it to match. I'm Homura!

[Kyte]

lol I chose Kyte from Kite from dot hack. I just like the y.

[Mujaffa]

Mujaffa is the main character of a old norwegian browser game about driving BMW and having sex with blondes, most of my time in the schools computer lab went to this in the early years. i find it funny as hell and stuck with it

[Teddiursa of the Sky]

Teddiursa of the Sky came from both the name of my favorite Pokemon, and a running theme in the literature I author involving the word "Skyward".

[Neptune's Disciple]

I made it up years ago with my then friend and co-PE2Ker Thanatos. I love water and water types hence the Neptune, and I thought Neptune's Disciple sounded pretty cool at the time and it's stuck. I've thought of shortening it to either ND or Neptune, but I think Neptune sounds too wanky and no one would know what ND was, so here I am.

[Caite-chan]

Well After going through several different names over the years I decided to pick one that I could use everywhere. My name is Caitlin so I went with a nick name of sorts hence the Caite part and I just added the chan part to be fun.

[PrettyFlacko]

I got tired of names like twistedspoon and Shiny
So i got a username that describes me bruh

[Wookie Mistake]

There's a few reasons why I chose my username, my first name begins with "J", and a lot of people call me Jay IRL. At some point I watched the movie Juice with Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps and one of the last lines in the movie was "You've got the juice now." I thought it was one of the most ridiculously stupid lines I've ever heard. It's not a cool nick name by itself, but after being jokingly mean to someone one of my buddies said "Jay, you as cold as ice." I decided to combine the two. And that's how the name came to be, J U Ice. I've got the juice, and i'm as cold as ice LOL.

[Death's Spook]

Socratic Sarcasm is a play off of the debate technique known as Socratic irony. Spice it up with some insight into my character (and alliteration) and viola!

[MichaelXD]

I picked my username based off the main hero from Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. It is my favorite character and I wanted a unique username for when I joined my first forum. It wasn't for this one, though, but I do remember saying in my intro thread that I like Pokemon and I specifically stated that Pokemon XD was one of my favorite over Colosseum and Pokemon Battle Revolution.

[Maddox]

Colt has been the name of my Dark type mono trainer for Pearl and White. I will most likely be changing it when X and Y come out as I'm abandoning the name in favor of more appropriate Kalosian names for my trainers (read: French).

[Q for Quick]

My first name starts with Q so I just kinda ran with it. Dramatic story, huh?

[VeloJello]

My username comes from some robot characters I used to doodle - one of them was named Velocity. Plus, I really like velociraptors, so there's that.

[[Desolate Divine]]

I changed mine to The Operator, as I had been given a moderator position and wanted something more intimidating xD The Operator is another name for Slenderman

[Grassy_Aggron]

I like Grass Types. Love Aggron. BOOM.

Also inspired by my failed Pokesona, Aggranium, whom is now a favorite character XD

[Plasmalpha Arceus]

Plasma is the state of most matter in outer space.
Arceus is the Alpha Pokémon.
I like Arceus since when it was born from an egg it created the universe.

My previous username from PE2K was Judgmental Arceus. Judgmental being that Arceus's signature move is judgment.

[Gaby]

Gaby was pretty much my first username ever and I'd been using it since PE2K. I just kind of revived it for good ol' time's sake. :3 Normally I'd go by Seitse (seven in dutch) or afrosonfire (afros, that are on fire).

[BigGinja]

My name actually comes from my friends. Ginja being a cross between Ginger (I'm a red head) and Ninja. The big part is just because of my large build. I'm 6'5" and I weigh in at somewhere between 285 and 310 lbs.

[Texoticyapalli]

Mine is basically the Nahuatl word for Blue. Thought it sounded cool

[Missy]

My username is a nickname people started calling me, nothing really special about it.

[Rival Max]

Achilles was one of the words greatest heroes but his life was tied to the outcome of war. His glory came hand and hand with his death. I choose this name as I stayed with PE2K instead of joining PXR and was going to perish with it. The name still stands as a reminder that we have lost some great people and they should not be forgotten.

[XaiakuX]

In the beginning there was one warrior. One man, who above all else, desired power. He would terrorize the people of his land and rule over their fears with an iron fist. Dressed like something out of a Punisher comic, he walked the roads with his head down and his long raven black hair flowing in the wind. No one dared to approach him, because they knew it would would only seal their demise. Until one day, when the people could no longer stand the evil that corrupted their land. a 10 year revolution swept the lands, coating the fields in blood. The followers of the man slaughtered countless rebels. But in the end The feared man stood alone, against five rebels. It's all there was left. The 5 heroes fought valiantly until one blade pierce the armored shell that protected the man's heart, and was driven straight through his chest. The man that inevitably died was named Xaiaku. "The Warrior of Sin."

[ShadowJay]

Name starts with Jay, and people always say I like to hang out in the shadows. Boom.

[Kentucky Fried Torchic]

Without a doubt, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is my second favorite movie of all time, only getting edged out by Tangled. Anyways, I spent the summer when PE2K was implementing name changes watching the former on VHS and after one session of watching it three times in a row, I decided to change my name, taking both the name of the villain and part of his line, "Your angel of death awaits you." As for the period? I don't know where that came from, it just seemed cooler than a space or nothing at all.

[charizard ex]

I chose charizard ex as my username like a couple of years ago when I first joined pe2k and I chose that name because well charizard is my favorite pokemon of all time. So yea the name pretty much stuck since then.

[Dragon Master Mike]

when i first started making acounts for things (was young) my username was cats715 because there was a book series i was reading involving cats, but as i got older i realised how stupid the username sounded and began using Dragon Master because it sounds cooler (though a bit cliche)

[smeller]

Mine started as just an inside joke type-thing with some of my close friends, but then I started using it as my username whenever I signed up on something. It's definitely a weird name, I guess, but who's name isn't weird?

[Symphonius]

Symphonius. I like classical music and symphony orchestras, nuff said. lol.

[Suicune's Fire]

I would have stuck with Graceful_Suicune, but I remember Harry saying that you should choose a name that describes you, or one that you really want to stick to...something along those lines. XD Point is, I wanted to have a combination of 'flareon' and 'suicune.' I know 'flareon' isn't in my username, but 'fire' is, and I wanted it to be a little weird. We all know that suicune don't breathe fire, so it's sort of like an oxymoron while incorporating two of my favourite pokemon, as well as it being somewhat of a tribute to my Pe2k username.


~SF.

[VeloJello]

I've gone through a boatload of usernames in my day, but currently I'm fine with Velocity. I chose it because of a silly fan-character I had at the time, who was a robotic velociraptor. It's something of a tribute to my favorite dinosaur, as well as simply a nerdy science word. On other sites, I go by VeloJello because Velocity's usually taken; everyone nicknames me Velo, I really like Jello, and they rhyme. Yup yup!

[Commander Shepard]

Originally, I was going to take the name Peace Buyer again, however I decided I needed something new for this forum. I got the name "Metasepia" from the Flamboyant Cuttlefish or Metasepia pfefferi. Originally, I would have chosen "Pfefferi" but no one would be able to pronounce it. The Flamboyant Cuttlefish is probably my favorite type of Cuttlefish simply because it's the first known Cuttlefish to be poisonous, not to mention the cuttlefish describes my favorite pokemon just by the appearance. Malamar <3

[Zenith Avalon]

My username is the name of a character I created. She's mostly for original stories, but I also use her as a Pokemon OC.

[Necromancer]

There's no special meaning behind my username, other than the fact that I like necromancers and the concept behind them.

[Jacob]

Take a guess.

[Arceus]

I really REALLY love Arceus.

[Aquatile]

Aquatile is the name of the Pokemon in my avatar.

[PerseusRad]

Perseus is a hero, Perseus is awesome, PerseusAwesome sounds stupid, so I go to the next best thing.

I was 12, >_>
