What's The Story Behind Your PXR Name?

[Soups]

I have had a few at PXR.

Cobalt Shadow: My name from PE2k. Then I realized with a new community, there were more available names, so I could go...
Cobalt. Then I become a mod and wanted something a little more official and scary. I was also obsessed with Slenderman at the time, so I changed it too...
The Operator. That was fun but I got bored after a little while and became obsessed with an album so I changed my name to it.
Comatose. Then I got bored of that and picked a song to name it after.
Wisteria. Now I am named after an album again.
Desolate Divine.

Interesting. Cobalt is an awesome name, as is your current name. Any thoughts of changing it again or are you comfortable with what you've got for the time being?

Scytherwolf was the name of my youtube channel I made in 2007, just smashing one of my favorite pokemon and one of my favorite animals together. I used the name on Pe2k and carried it over to here.

Scyther is one of my favorite Pokemon too! I feel it's so underrated.

Uuuuum, I literally just changed mine. XD

For eeeeeeons it was Lunar Latias. Not really anything behind that (not even a fan of Latias), but my first ever username at PE2K was Latias_Rider and I feel it needed a refresh (plus underscores are so last century). And now I'm Chibi Altaria. :D Which I figure I'll stick with. Chibi as in small, cute, the art style, and it relates to Japanese culture! Which I love. Altaria cause Mega Altaria is my current favourite Pokemon. xD SO FLOOFY.

I remember Lunar Latias. :3 I really like Chibi Altaria!

I have had a ton of usernames over the years. On many forums. Used to be Agent Havoc on a facebook game, league of heroes, until it died.

People called me Hav for a while, after a couple years that became VAHZZ(yes, only caps) for yet another game, DUST514. Though i have had a crap ton of accounts on that game, 3 characters per account. Half of the game's player base was me.


Before all of that though, my beginning, was TuffKidAndy on the old pokemon netplay. Back when i was a kid, i liked Wigglytuff because of it's name, even though it sucked in game. I once made a gimpy Wigglytuff that angered peeps calling me a hacker. That evolved into Tufflord. Then into His Tuffness; my actual username. Sacred Fire because Ho Oh is my Cover Pokemon. Idk when i'll change my username to it's true form. Maybe soon.

But after the Netplay Era, came my Smogon Era, where i went by Fonz. Then came EverGrande, i started out as Ryu King, but that got old, then i went with N7.

Now it's the Crossroads Era; and i'm thinkin it's time for the return of the king.

You're thinking of changing your name back to Ryu King? That's be awesome. I really like Sacred Fire too though, so either one is great.

Also, was N7 in reference to Mass Effect?

Back in PE2K, where I began with my first alias online in 2006, I was Pink Leon.
I was pretty much only active in the spriter's community, from what I could recall.
That one was pretty simple. Pink was my favorite color, and I liked the name Leon for having Leo in it.

Then, I changed my online alias to Dynastid. Mostly reflects my love for dynistinae, or horned beetles.

Then, I went to Power-Line, as a reference to A Goofy Movie.

Lastly, I landed on Altia. It was inspired by the Pokemon Altaria, while it sounded a little more feminine than my previous names, it was unique, short, simple, and easy to remember. This username is more permanent, as I now run a small business with Altia in the name.

Altia is great! It's short and sweet.

What's your business?

[Altia]

Altia is great! It's short and sweet.

What's your business?

Thanks! It's hardly anything to mention, really. It's just an Etsy store. Anybody can make one of those!

Lol no, not Ryu King, His Tuffness.

And actually, no, N7 wasn't a reference to Mass Effect. It was actually a reference to an old user who had the name before. His name was Moogles. He went by N7 for a bit before changing back to his other username. It initially started as a joke but it kind of stuck.

Don't tell me you're going to change your username! I like your username! Sacred Fire for lyfe!

[MC Elesa]

I've always wondered of the stories behind usernames. Many of you here on PXR have unique usernames. My own name, Soups, was created by @MC Elesa back on Pokemon Elite 2000. During those times, I went by the name of SuperBoy, but MC Elesa nicknamed me Soups after some time and it stuck.

What's the story behind your name?

Damn. Way to go and call me out. haha

Originally it was Charizard_maa back on PC. When I joined PE2K it was Charizard_Mike which I later changed to Charizard_Michelle. Long story, short....I really like Charizard.

Currently I am using the name MC Elesa. I really like Elesa from Black and White and I wanted something that sounded unique. I think maybe I wanted to do DJ Elesa but some how I have to have M in my name. So I went with MC. Maybe I should change it to Writer Elesa because I write a lot for the site.

I was only giving credit where credit is due.

I think you should stick with MC Elesa. It's different. Writer Elesa is a little... plain. xD

[Suicune's Fire]

Also, was N7 in reference to Mass Effect?

I thought the same thing and asked him when he changed it to that. XD I loooooove Mass Effect.

I feel like a broken record because I've told this story so many times, but I was Graceful_Suicune on Pe2k which I stuck with my entire time there. I had previously joined a forum called Dragonair's Den under Flareon_Girl and I didn't want to choose anything similar to it when I joined up to Pe2k, so instead of sticking with my favourite pokemon in my username's title, I went with suicune, my third favourite. I have always pictured suicune as the embodiment of grace, hence "graceful." It was not at all a reference to me being graceful because that is not an accurate adjective for me. XD

When I joined PXR, Harry made a comment in the Skype chat at one point saying that we should all pick names that were special to us and felt described us in a way, so I changed it up a little and kept the Suicune (partly for identification purposes) and chucked in 'fire' as a reference to my favourite pokemon, flareon. I've changed my name once here to Undyne while the Undertale craze was happening, but that was only ever a temporary switch.

I go by a few different names on other sites, but here I am Suicune's Fire. :]

I agree with Gemma. Underscores are sooo last century.

[Soups]

I started out on PE2K with Lost Soul, I really don't remember why, I think it was an sn I had way back in the day when the only internet that was available would screech and beep and bong.

I brought it over to XBL with a little twist because Lost Soul was already taken it became Lost 555oul, which was a mash up of my name and a clothing company that had one of the comfiest zip up hoodies I've ever owned.

A little later on XBL I changed my name to PchuPchuGotcha, which was a reference to a scene in the Family Guy Star Wars special.

Meanwhile when I first joined PXR i decided to start new with J U Ice, J being the first letter in my first name, and the rest actually spelling out juice, as in "I've got the juice now". It's also a bit of an inside joke with my friends because of my sarcasm and dry humor "J, U Ice cold"

I later changed it to The Oxymoron, mostly because that's how I was feeling mentally, sometimes the things i did or thought were so contradictory to what i would do or think 2 minutes later.

When I followed my friends (and to a lesser extent COD and Destiny exclusives) over to PSN I went with Wookie Mistake, because 1) I'm huge star wars fan, and two I had heard a joke where the punch line was wookie mistake. It has to be one of my favorite names I've used. So when I decided to get back into pokemon I brought it over here for everyone to enjoy XD

That's interesting, dude. I personally like Wookie Mistake. It's funny and clever. The Oxymoron is pretty clever as well.

I thought the same thing and asked him when he changed it to that. XD I loooooove Mass Effect.

You do? I do too! I'm a HUGE Mass Effect fan. It's easily one of the greatest video games I've ever played (that includes each entry in the trilogy). I can't wait for Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I like how you eventually merged your favorite Pokemon into one name. Suicune's Fire is elegant and it fits you. :3

OH MY GOSH YAAAAS. We are now friends. I adore it so much. Let's take this to VM because it's so exciting. YAAAAAS I HAVE PREORDERED IT AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!!!!!

Aw, thank you! :D I'm glad you think it suits me. :3c It's grown on me in these four years. (Holy moley, four years!)

[Trainer17]

Well let's see. I joined PE2K when I was 17 years old. I, like many others, aspired to be the greatest Pokemon Trainer. Not the most creative, but it was something I decided in a gist, and stuck with it; Trainer17. It was for so many years, after which I decided to go with Tsuna, named directly after my most favorite anime character during that time, but I had gone and reverted back to Trainer17 because it held so many memories. Like literally xD Gemma suggested to make it Trainer27, reflecting that I'm getting older by the day, but I had to tell her again that she was OLDER than me <333

I might change it again, I dunno :'3 Trainer69

I REMEMBER YOUR TSUNA NAME CHANGE. I like Trainer17 better. <3

Of course. xD I still remember you used to call me grandma! *shakes cane in defiance*

I actually still find it a bit weird getting used to this name. Like, I love it and it's adorable, but I had Lunar Latias for so long it almost feels wrong. XD
