Origin of Username

What's the story behind your username? Mine was from a sci-fi game where I wanted to call myself Princeofthestars but it was too long, so I shortened it and it stuck even though it sounds a bit awkward.

Got a megathread for this over in YF.

Random letters put together.

EDIT: Hey, that's a nice rhyme and rhythm.

Mine's an acronym of my salutation and my initials, though it can mean other things at different times. 1981 is the year it all began for me (though I wouldn't use that if my first account here didn't get forum-hosed).

Mine obviously came from my obsession with love and happiness.

I was doing some research into quadrilateral detection algorithms for images at the time I needed a user name on a different forum, and I've been using it various places since.

Plus once I wrote a really crappy comic on the back of a maths exam about the Adventures of Captain Quadrilateral versus the evil Dr. Parabola, so the name sort of fit as a mysterious stranger in that universe.

Mine came from when I was obsessed with Danny Phantom in the third grade. It is what I would be called if I was like Danny. My first name is Braylee so...

A long time ago, I knew someone whose username was some variation on storyteller so I thought it would be funny to have storyyeller instead. And I've used this name on various sites ever since.

I use it for everything.

Needed one for a character in Atlantica Online. Thought the Gaelic word for eleven looked cool. Been using it since.

You all know where mine's from. If you don't yet, you soon will.

You can probably guess where mine's from.

My name and my birthday 30/1

I used the first name and surname initial of the most awesome person alive.

Dark Star

Mine's from a needle in an egg in a duck in a hare in a trunk under a tree on the island of Buyan, obviously.

Half Life 2.

It's my pen name.

As for how I got my pen name, I just translated my last name into English and put an E at the end. A more complete discussion is on my profile page.

My username was pretty random. But "Suzy" is not a real name of me or any of my numerous aliases and body doubles IRL, or anywhere on the internets.

My username was a Take That! to users who string numbers with names, as well as a Shout-Out to Kamen Rider Faiz (Faiz555, Kaixa913, Delta333, and Orga000 were all taken)

^I hate to derail, but there's no [oh] sound in Johan.

I don't drink, essentially.

Corruption of "The Boss".

First character in World Of Warcraft I actually got to max level (70 then) was called Dustwind. For my next characters, I figured trying to keep a theme within a race was good exercice and I decided on Earth-Air for my taurens. Sandbylur is (according to Wiktionary) icelandic for Sandstorm
