User Names: What's Your Origin?

As you can guess from my pic I am a major fan of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and my fave character was Marvin the Paranoid Android (with the 234 as a extra due to Paranoid Android already being taken).

Side Note: I did not know until two years ago that this was also an Radio Head song... Ive listened to it and I do not like it (Irony!)

I used to frequent [[this forum http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tt.asp?forumid=58]] for the longest time, with my real name as my username. One night, as I lays on my bed, I suddenly figured: Oh crap, my real name's not cool enough!

So I used my dumb kid brain to comes up with a new name. My first thoughts were: Dragons! But, this one kinda irritating guy was using some name or other that have something to do with Dragons, and I don't want the negative connotations. Then I figures that Swords are awersome as well, so I'd go with that until I can think of something better. Hence P, after my real name, and Blades, after swords.

My forum handle should shows as PBlades actually, because I had a pet peeve agaisnt improper capitalization, but am a hypocrite enough that I wanted to uses two capital letters in my name.

All things considered, I'm not really happy about my handle, this one or the other ones I'm using, haha. I suppose I'm still kinda immature.

Don't we have a thread like this already?

My username comes after a name that I used in Halo CE.
When I played Halo, I was thinking about names I was thinking about what kind of characters I like.
I liked lovable and adorable clowns as well as adorable and cute toys, puppets and dolls. Because I liked characters like the [[Franchise/Batman Joker]], Kefka, Piedmon, Puppetmon and Gimmick Puppets, I choose the perfect name: ClownToy

This is a REALLY old username that I don't use anymore (because this account is, also, really old), but its origin is simple:

I like Pokemon. I really like Flygon. Pokemon Master. Flygonmaster. Yes.

x3: Look, I started this thread back in October 2011, back when 2-month intervals were more-or-less sufficient grounds to start a new thread instead of necroposting in an old one (or so I thought, it's been a while). Cut me a little slack, will ya?

Ringabel from Bravely Default! I was surprised that this username hadn't of been taken, yet!

15 year old me thought Falco + Koopa = Fal Koopa was clever. Though it is certainly unique and never taken, so I kept it.

When I was much younger, one of the first Let's Plays I ever watched had submissions for character creation, named after the YouTubers who submitted the idea. I liked the name so much, I went on to name my first-ever D&D character, a gnome, after Shishkahuben. And then, on pretty much every forum. Etc, etc....

So, The Real Shishkahuben, if you're out there, I'm sorry, buddy. You're an inspiration. And his channel is pretty cool too.

I just sort of pulled it out of my ass when I was 12. Now that I'm 18 it's a bit childish, but eh, it stuck. On most other websites I shorten it to "WPancake".

Okay, posting here again because new account. This username is derived partially from Flight Rising; my persona on my YouTube channel is a Platinum/Pink/Pink Cherub/Toxin/Glimmer Skydancer named Silvie, though the colors might change soon because the color wheel expansion came out a couple days ago. (Sooo many more shades of pink YESSS)

I ended up expanding out and using that persona a lot more everywhere else, and thus, SilvieSkydancer ended up being my main username everywhere. Got to the point that I ended up wanting to be nicknamed Silvie rather than Syo!
