How and Why did you choose your username ? everybody

Postby MoonRock Dragon » Mon Sep 29, 2008 9:34 am

First off the (Questionable And Slightly Offensive username) = Well the reason is because I WAS a very big fan of it since a few months ago and its the longest Japanese word I can spell.

Second Is how I chose MoonRock Dragon = The reason I chose MoonRock Dragon is because OF 3 Very helpful and kind members who helped me figure out a way to get me out of the mess I was in.

Tsukuyomi = Moon
rockLobster = Rock
CrimsonRyu17 = Dragon

So put them all together and you get MoonRock Dragon.

My username is short for Sajuuk, which is actually short/modified for Sajuuk-khar which comes from the the game Homeworld2 and means "chosen one". I just use it because i like the name Sajuuk. Its also the name of the Paladin that i created when World of Warcraft first came out, and i still play him too but under a different name.

I'm really big on Japanese mythology ^__^

Tsukuyomi is the God Of The Moon ^ ^ Yup, Tsukuyomi is actually a guy.. The one in the myth, that is XD

I've always loved the moon, and the name would go both ways <33

Sheenar is an old nickname from junior high/high school. They made my name into an -AR verb in Spanish class and then would conjugate it (Sheeno, Sheenas, Sheenamos, Sheenan). XD And then the trend spread to some of my other friends (Mandy =Mandar, Andrew = Andar).
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Sharienchan is my screen name. I got it when I was looking up words in an online Japanese dictionary. I searched fate and magnesium sulfate (sharien) came up. Then I thought it'd make a funny name iwth the word chan added on XDDD

I used to go around the internet with names referencing Jin Saotome or Kyo Kusanagi, but then I needed a new AIM name, as well as a name for a story (now lost) that I had written. I took my name and translated (through a website somewhere) both my first and last name and it came out KagayakiWashi (shining eagle). It could have been Keihatsu Washi or Takayama Washi, but I like Kagayaki Washi the best, and that's generally what I use if I can (due to some sites blocking some of the letters in there).

O_O EMBARRASSING ORIGIN STORY TIME!

So, in 6th grade or so, Pokemon Crystal was announced to come out in a couple months in Japan. I was totally stoked for the release because it was the first Pokemon game that let users play as a girl, so I read up a lot about it. One bit of news noted that there would be a BRAND NEW CHARACTER named Minaki. Naturally, I assumed this was the default name of the main female character and adopted the name Minaki-chan in anticipation.

No. It's this guy:
Image

I didn't feel like changing it when I found out, so it pretty much stuck. I use "minakichan" (no caps, no hyphen, one word) now. I don't really mind; I think it's pretty funny ^_^

The other name I go by, fusakugyoku, is my Chinese name (Fu Tseyu/Fu Ceyu) in Japanese (Fu Sakugyoku)

Back when I was obsessed with Japanese culutre, I loved how Kitsune sounded compared to the word Fox. XD I'm not really so much obsessed with the culture anymore...but I love the word still, haha. It sounds more elegant?

Postby Raiden no Kishi » Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:53 pm

Why: Because . . . I needed a username.

How: Because I used to be more of one of those dorky Japan nuts, and so I -had- to have a Japanese screenname. My old Xanga was Engetsuken no Kishi, which was (if online translators serve me, which I nowadays doubt XD) "Knight of the Crescent Moon Blade". Yeah. I was even more of a dork then. I shortened it to Raiden no Kishi (Knight of Thunder and Lightning) for practicality's sake, and got rid of that previous moniker (everybody hated it because it was so long and not in English XDDD). Now I'm kinda tired of Raiden no Kishi, but I can't think of anything better. Someday, I'll change it. I might just shorten it to Rai, because that's what most people use that either know me or have been on the board for any period of time.

I made this name up about five years or so ago because all my old screennames were lame and I wanted a better one. The best one I could come up with was "shiroi hikari", which means "white light". I use it just about everywhere now. Also I think I'm one of the few CAA vets who hasn't had a name change. XD

Postby Bobtheduck » Mon Sep 29, 2008 5:13 pm

Yay, this thread again!

I am neither a bob nor a duck, and yet I'm a little of both.

Ah, waves of memories dating back to 2003 are flooding my brain now...
**lets it soak in** Way back when there were some people who thought I was smart!

Anyhow

My username has a few points of origin. They all fit together, so don't ask questions until I'm done... That means YOU.

1. My dad is an old fashioned type. Possibly because he's also old. He's the traditional old-fashioned American Ettiquite, treat a lady nice kind of guy. Holding doors and chairs and things, you know. So, one day, I was at the doctor's office, and I was in a rush to get back to my car. As I rushed out the door and let it close behind me, I waited for my Dad to come up to the car. He comes out, furious, and I don't know why, but apparently I had let a door slam in some old lady's face. He let me know in more than a few words that I ALWAYS hold the door open for people. So, from that point on until a couple years back when it kind of wore off, I did... Obsessively. For everyone... To the point that my parents would get angry with me at theaters, as I'd hold the door open for everyone leaving the movie. Ah, good times.

2. I had a generic name I'd use when I didn't have a name for a guy. I'd call him Frank. Well, my friend had the same sort of habbit. He'd name characters in RPGs or random people the same thing: Bob, which was his Biological father's name. For some reason, I dropped Frank and Picked up Bob. Frank is now my secondary name. (For girls, I use Mary. Bob, Frank, and Mary) I started using Bob all the time, and it became a part of the "random, but not really, Luke (my real name)"

3. In 2001, I was doing a Summer program I didn't really want to do, it was a last resort (that, or go home, and going home sounded like torture) I was in a bad mood a lot, and I was really jealous of some guy because he got a lot of attention from Girls. That's beside the point, but even when I was angry, I'd do my door-holding thing... Even for people I was angry with. On one particularly angry afternoon, I held the door open for this girl that I had liked (and, of course, wasn't liked back) and she said "Thanks."

I was tired of people saying thanks... It felt empty. Why thank someone for something like that. I told her "That's like saying thank you to a duck for quacking." So she responded (She was quite the interesting individual) "Ok, duck. Thank you for quacking." So a bit later, probably that day but possibly a day or two later, I was holding the door open for a different girl, a counselor at the camp I was program staff on, and she said thank you. I replied "Hi. My name's Bob. I'm a duck." She said "So you are no longer Luke the man, but you are Bob the Duck." I said "It's my secret identity. Like Superman... And if I take my glasses off, I'm Clark Kent." That girl ended up being my girlfriend for a while. I called her Lois. She called me Clark and Bob, alternatively. I used to salute all the time, but her kids couldn't salute, they just kind of put their arms against their heads. So I did that and said "Quack" but she said I sounded like the Aflac duck... So we started saying "Aflac" to each other, and she got her kids to do the same thing. Ah, good times.

Here's a pic of me (red shirt) with her on my left in the pic (my right) and my friend Nate on the far right of the pic (my far left) doing the aflac salute.

Postby SnoringFrog » Mon Sep 29, 2008 5:27 pm

Essentially, I was playing the Metal Gear Solid 3 Demo, tranquilized a frog and a guard in slightly different spots. Was trying to pick up the frog, stopped cause I heard snoring that seemed like it was coming from the frog. Collected the frog and the snoring ceased...so I assumed that's what it was at the time, may have been the guard for all I know.

Month or two later, needed a screename, wanted something unique that wouldn't be taken ((although it has been on occasion)), and SnoringFrog worked.

Oddly enough, I started liking the color green and frogs after I chose the name.

Postby Hana Ryuuzaki » Mon Sep 29, 2008 7:20 pm

[font="palatino Linotype"]Well, hmm.....this brings back mem'ries. XD;;

Hana came from an old, OOOOOLD Naruto RP in which Konan (The female member of the Akatsuki) still was un-named.
So, since she had a flower in her hair, and "hana" is Japanese for "flower", we started calling her that.
--I was the one to play her, and I still like her, even though the RP died suddenly. =[

Ryuuzaki comes from, well, L's nickname in DeathNote. :3
L is my favorite character.
Why?

My name is a direct result of me being a real life legume who is very Charlie Brown-esque....ok I can't continue on with that horrible lie/joke/attempt to be funny...

My user name comes from an overly used nickname I got in middle school because of my allergy to peanuts. When I joined CAA I needed a username so I used it since I was used to being called by it anyway. And thus I have been Peanut ever since...

I tend to fail miserably at making good usernames (the best one I've ever come up with is "Exaggerated Disinfectant," but it's so long that I've never gotten to use it XD), so my name here is based on my favorite video game/character, Chrono Cross/Kid. Naturally, that extends to the related game Radical Dreamers, but I heard it from Chrono Cross first. XD

When I first joined CAA 3 years ago, my name was Rurouni_Kaoru, because I was a huge fan of Rurouni Kenshin at the time. XD Most people then called me Kaorrie, but now people either call me RD or they call me by my real name, depending on how well they know me. XD

Postby Sparx00 » Mon Sep 29, 2008 8:34 pm

Sparx00... How I got this name is an interesting story.

Once we made a game at my church, it was a card game that we called Clay. THe object was to throw different elements at each other, and the player with the element that over powers the opponent's element, wins. There was this weird thing is youth group that we used to do. We used to give each other nicknames. When I was first old enough to go into youth group, I was given the nickname Sparky. Yes, I was first called Sparky. Clay didn't last long enough to catch on as a main game, but the nicknames stuck. Once after a while though, I out grew the title of sparky, and was re-nicknamed Sparkz. But I chose to cut the name short to Sparx. When you first hear this name a purple dragon may come to mind. XD

But it worked, it matched my personality to somewhat of a fault. Powerful, kind, and known to make sparks fly in Halo.
When I was putting in my user name, the title Sparx was already taken. So I added 00 at the end. Why you may ask? It's easy to remember.

However, some of the members on here call me Sparky so I go by that nickname too. :eyeroll:

Well mine isn't hard to figure out. In fact you can find out three things from it.

1. I like to watch anime.

2. Im a dude.

3. I was born in '90.

I know I should try to make up better usernames, but on other forums I have always been -insert something-90. So to fit this one I just said animedude90.

I may decide to change it, but Im afraid people might get confussed. So I won't.

Rushia was one of my characters back in the day, so when I needed a username for fanfiction.net I just used that. Then I got an account on DA and I added the "lady" part and it's been my username everywhere ever since. I always pronounced it "rush-i-ah," but my friends here pronounce it like "roo-shi-ah" so now I kind of say both, XD.

Postby WrestlingOtaku » Tue Sep 30, 2008 12:07 am

Well, when I first joined I was called Undertaker64. I chose that name because The Undertaker was my favorite wrestler, I was really into wrestling at the time, and I thought just plain old Undertaker would be taken and needed to add a number to it. I chose 64 because the Nintendo 64 was the newest video game system I had at the time, thankfully that has been rectified.

Well, after a while I realized that my username wasn't very original, so I decided to change it. I had seen a few other "-Otaku" members on the site and I knew that it was Japanese for fan, so I decided to add it to the thing I was the biggest fan of at the time, wrestling. Unfortunately, I'm not as big of a fan as I used to be. More into football now, but that's another story for another time.
