Why did you choose your username.

[Rival Max]

This most recent name was chosen as a nod to my first name on pe2k. The Shadow Tracker..which became The Unreal Shadow Tracker a few weeks later. I picked Shadow Tracker Max because my fanfic is based around a young boy named Max. The same character was used as my character in the early versions of GCEA Red and Blue.

[Neo Emolga]

Because Emolga just rocks. :D

I know, I know, I used to be a nutcase for Pikachu (I still think he's cool anyway), but Emolga... so cool and hilarious on so many levels. As for the "Neo" part, well, that goes all the way back to my fascination for the Matrix movies, which is pretty much a fazed-out fandom, but it was good while it was still around.

[Death's Spook]

My first name, narphoenix, was based off of a character I designed initially called the Chosen One of Fire. No, I will not elaborate, the character is an old shame. Buuuuuut, I liked the name, and so used it as an alias. I still do, actually: on both Wordpress and the Jim Butcher Forums, I am still narphoenix. Nar because it's the Arabic word for fire, and phoenix is obvious. And it is only properly spelled narphoenix, not Narphoenix. Nar capitalized is fine though, and I still giggle a little when people call me Narph (*cough* @The Nonexistent Tazz *cough*).

My second name, Socratic Sarcasm, was a modification of Socratic Irony. I stuck by it until people started calling me SS, and I was like, "Well that's a big giant pile of NOPE."

My current name, Death's Spook, is because I like The Sandman. Death is perky and awesome.

[Zodiac]

I wanted to pick something different for this forum, and I decided to pick a favourite song. No deep meaning to it (yet)

[ShadowJay]

Heh heh, my username doesn't have a cool back-story like most others do. It's a combination of the word Shadow and the first letter of my name. Despite spelling it "Jay" in my username, my actual name lacks a 'y' and is spelt Jaden. I just decided to use it because it sounded cool.

[Suicune's Fire]

WOW. XD I love reading through everyone's reasons for their usernames! I didn't know any of those backstories so it's so interesting to find out. xD


I've gone through a few usernames in the past... I think my very first one was Flareon_Girl or something silly like that. But haha, that was back when I had no idea how a forum worked so I posted in places I wasn't supposed to and got in trouble, so when I came to Pe2k a month or so later, I didn't want to be recognised (the fact that I thought it was probable is sort of hilarious) so I mixed it up completely, going with Graceful_Suicune. I thought it was a thing to put an underscore, which is why it remained in my name. Suicune are my favourite legendaries, and one of my favourite pokemon, which was why I chose it as part of my name.

However, I signed up everywhere else as GoldFlareon (originally Golden_Flareon) or just Flareon. I don't know where that came from; the 'flareon' part is obvious, and I think I chose "Gold" because it sounded sort of majestic or something. My pokesona ended up being gold coloured because of this. xD

When I joined PXR, for some reason I didn't want to sign up here as GoldFlareon like I am everywhere else. I think I wanted a name I only used for my home forum, much like Graceful_Suicune, and I also remember Harry saying to us all that we should pick a name that means something to us and that we'll treasure. I thought about it for a while and decided on combining flareon with suicune, so that people might still recognise me, but also so that I could be associated with flareon. I thought Suicune's Fire was cool because it's obviously not possible for a suicune to be able to breathe fire, but it had an allusion to my favourite type and my favourite pokemon. ^^

If I change it again, which I'm hesitant to do because it's grown on me, then it'll be something related to Mass Effect but still pokemon-related. x)


~SF.

[Maddox]

My usernames here have all three been the character I was currently playing on my pokémon games. *shrugs* No other big story, really.

[Homura]

I'm Homura? Well I say I am anyway. Besides, @HKim always calls me a magical girl anyway.
@Caite-chan Right-o, Captain. :3

[Mr. Nyan]

All started in Pokestadium... Welp, it's nothing that much. I choose Zekronyan because I like Zekrom, and then I fused it with Nyan Cat... Boom. Then, in pokepavilion I changed to Mr. Zekrom, and now, Mr. Nyan. Nothing fancy.

[DarkNerd]

I've had this username since I started using usernames on the internet. Seriously, if i'm not using my DarkNerd username of a variety of it, I'm either on my Facebook or, god forgive me, Myspace.
It began with my first idea for a comic. I had no idea for a name for the protagonist, however, so I settled with what I thought was cool. Dark. But it needed more. And since I was the school nerd, I decided to might as well give him the moniker of Dark Nerd. When the movies came out calling Batman the Dark Knight, it instantly changed it from a working name to a final name. So when I signed up for Animal Crossing Bay all those years ago, I used it. But not knowing if spaces worked for usernames, I went by DarkNerd. Since I'm terrible with names, I kept it.
It's incredibly appropriate now, for various other reasons, but that's how it came about. And all I'm saying.
