The Origin of Our Names

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...no. im not talking about our REAL names. god forbid you guys find out my real name. anyway, here's another thread where some posters can stop by and drop some info on how they came up with their forum names.

as for me, it all started with my fixation with AzuDaioh's NekoKoneko, you know, that stuffed toy of 2 cats on top of each other. since someone already has the said monicker in the internets, i decided to add "great" to it. just to make it different. hence, GreatNekoKoneko. the name has stuck ever since.

what's your story?

[Haro!]

I was previously known as Epyon followed by something I cannot recall. That was because for several years my AIM name was Epyon. Then it changed to Haro! because I think Haro from Gundam has a nice combination of cute and annoying.

[chii-chan]

I was obsessed with chobits at the time o.o. sometimes things are just that simple.

[goddessofanime]

I was watching Ah My Goddess at the time I joined here.

[Sushikins]

It's my nickname, although now my friends call me just Sushi. There are two other variations I'll use if Sushi-X is taken somewhere, Kiryu-Sushi-X and Nanaya-Sushi-X.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Well, before, I was the legendary Deathscythe. It basically came from Gundam Wing. At the time CN started airing it and I fell in love with the DS design and the fact that it had a scythe. That made it extra cool in my eyes. I was 14 at the time(assuming it aired in 1999). So, you know, young minds get easily influenced by such things. I thought it was a cool name. I still use it on SRK till this day because that name started there and it became quite famous.

That's a name I miss on these boards. It struck fear to the hearts of nerds and geeks everywhere. That was a fine name. And then, change decided to set in. So, a few weeks ago I decided to change it to Sendo Takeshi because over the time I started to become a HUGE Hajime no Ippo fan. And the discovery of Reidar's avatar site made me change the name to match the avatar. The avatar symbolizes my love for fighting games(to me at least) because it has Sendo in a victory pose. And when it comes to fighting games, it's all about winning.

Deathscythe will forever remain a part of the history of this site. This was name that took down Richi(Sony Fanboy #1) once and for all. Now I've become the Smasher. *goes off to smash*

[goddessofanime]

Dude you were Deathscythe? I remember you.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Dude you were Deathscythe? I remember you.


Yup. I changed the name recently(as explained in that long drawnout essay). I kinda got tired of it(here at least).

[HSaabedra]

Mine is the result of an admiration of a musician and a video game character.
(Axl Rose and X from Megaman X)

[germanturkey]

^^ yeah, it was only a few weeks ago you were deathscythe...

anyways, back in my starcraft playing days, my friend had a screen name swedishchicken. which was funny at the time because he was neither swedish, nor did he like chicken very much. so we made our own clan with nationalities and species of birds. germanturkey, norweigianpigeon, spanishcockatail... etc..

it just kinda stuck

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Sadly the story behind my name isn't as exciting as everyone helped, you know, no blood lineage or anything. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawns)

I'm actually the second person to use the name Prons on the Internet, when I registered my AIM name, "Prons," was taken, so I made a different Prons name (I started with Prons103, because I liked ending everything with "one-oh-three," and if I remember right I used it for like twenty years before registering Mobile Suit Prons) by sheer irony, I did meet the original "Prons," one day, he, like me, is a Vietnam War veteran in his mid-50's.

I also was awarded the title "Big Boss Prons," from the United States Government, for "tappin'," a Communist woman, the first Westerner to do such a thing since Jon Lennon.

[Soluzar]

I've been using Soluzar as my alias online since at least 1997. I just needed to come up with something for a username one time, and I took this one from the surname of a character in a sci-fi novel I was reading at the time. It stuck. Here I am, ten years later, still Soluzar.

I didn't like the character or the book that much at the time, and I care a lot less now. It just struck me as cool. I don't spell it the same way. He was "Solusar" and I prefer my version. Plus this is like my 'first name', although Soluzar does not have a surname.

[Haro!]

Prons you don't mean Yoko was a Communist do you?

[kenshinbebop]

I loved Rurouni Kenshin and Cowboy Bebop. :/
Not exciting.

But over the year or two, I've grown away from anime and manga for some reason or another...if I changed my name it would be something music or Jmusic relasted, since that's what I'm into nowadays...
probably pillows related, for obvious reasons.

[Reidar]

I was slaughtering a colony of hippies one day when I noticed that their dismembered organs laying on the ground spelled out, "Anthropophaginian". It suddenly dawned on me that when the letters were unscrambled and an "e" and a "d" were added, it spelled out "Reidar" after omitting the unnecessary items. Divine intervention or mere coincidence?

[Jon]

Well, my story is boring. I used to be ThatJonKid2009, switched to ThatJonKid, and then Jonn.

Why I chose Jonn? Because Jon was already taken. So I just added a "n" at the end. Lame I know.

This was name that took down Richi(Sony Fanboy #1) once and for all.
Silly Rah...I mean Richi. Man that was hilarious.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Prons you don't mean Yoko was a Communist do you?

No, remember that song, Back in the USSR? Even though it was written by McArtney, still:

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind

The second verse is also sexual:

Oh, show me round your snow peaked
mountain way down south
Take me to you daddy's farm
Let me hear you balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

Except I think I won because mine are actually IN the party. AM I doing it right?

[Haro!]

Wait I want a link to this Richi thing. I'm a Sony fanboy myself but its something I'd like to see.

Jonn I preferred when it was ThatJonKid. it sounded cooler I think.

Ah I forgot about that ^_^ I wasn't thinking abstractly enough.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

It was the first thing that popped into my head when signing up, and 0314 is my birthday

I've actually been debating about whether or not I should change my name for about a month

[Old Ape Face]

My last name in polish means As strong as an oak. >_< now everyone's going to be hording for a polish to English dictionary.

And my UN name

Yukimura mean Snow Village i think, i'm not quite sure where the Sanada comes from.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Wait I want a link to this Richi thing. I'm a Sony fanboy myself but its something I'd like to see.





Hmm....it was definitely one of the older Next-Gen threads from last year. It was pretty much onesided because I left Richi with widest anus in the entire galaxy. I left him crapping out planets.

[Jon]

I didn't even know you knew my username back then, that was a long time ago.-_-; I almost changed it to CrazyNakedMan to match my XBL name, but then I decided not to.

I'm sure Sendo will give you the link, he probably has it bookmarked in three different locations.

You turned Richi into Galactus?

Me and Richi are actually quite similar in that we are both Sony fanboys, and (if I'm not mistaken) are both some combination of Mexican and Japanese. I think we may in fact be clones and may not know which is the real one, kinda like that Spiderman arc. I'm now thinking of changing my name to RichiReborn or something of the sort.

[Lord Timaeus]

This is actually the third name I've used on AN. The first was my original username, ORANGE-KUN, which derived from two of my favorite franchises at the time, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and NINOMIYA-KUN. I ditched that name after certain events I'd rather not discuss, and changed it to Lord Kuroishi. That name was intended to be a combination of the Japanese words for "black" and "death;" the "Lord" part was just there as filler to make it sound cooler.

Now my current username is derived from an RPG character I developed back when there were chat threads on AN, which in turn was derived from (sadly) a Yu-Gi-Oh card from the extra-cheesy Doma arc. Once the RPG died down after one of the major players left, I began to use the name "Lord Timaeus" in other forums as a homage to that character. So I figured if I was Lord Timaeus everywhere else, I might as well change my name here.

I don't know, but you're a lot smarter than Richi. That's the difference, Richi tended to pull "facts" from his arse.

And I found the link to where the debate was. Starts on post #59 I believe:
http://animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=192307&page=4

I don't know if anyone remembers, but I also found Rahxephon91's dupe account named Roxxas on that thread too, great times.

[Old Ape Face]

let's see the long list of names i've had.

1st. was Old Ape Face, (in reference to the chief of section 9 Amirmaki of Ghost in the shell, as his nick name.)

2nd. i got a little taste of Samurai Deeper Kyo, and loved it, loved the name and his character, and so i was Kyo Dono for a number of months...

Until i read about another character in SDK, Sanada Yukimura, who is a very femenistic yet horrifyingly strong leader of the city of Kyoto.

I got mine from THE best game series ever.

Indeed, though the series needs a movie made after it.

Speaking of names, mine is due for a change rather soon.

[Mort]

My name is just from the title of my favorite book at the time.

[Solid_Snake]

I would like to change mine. And get rid of the "-". But there is another account with that name. :(

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...so Lord Timaeus is actually Lord Kuroishi. gadzooks. finally found ya.

[Sendo Takeshi]

You turned Richi into Galactus?



It was more of a rape than anything. No lube. And it involved a blood red tampon. Richi became Rachel in those threads.

[Old Ape Face]

...so Lord Timaeus is actually Lord Kuroishi. gadzooks. finally found ya.

You should have been around when the Chat threads where still active, he used that name more times then I say IS

I'm thinking of using an original name this time, Neko God? Na too high and mighty. Prince Neko? has has a nice ring to it but it sounds too out of place for me. NekoWannabe? na, too annoying. Kainshi? that's my Wow Paladin Blood Elf's name. it sounds too much like Kenshin. OrangoTang. a pun on words? a mix of the orange drink and the ape. Noobsinhower? (my brother uses Dubesinhower all the time. ROFLCHOPTER) Elfdragqueen666. Hmmm no too odd.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...whoa whoa. lay off the neko. i think there are already waay too many people here that have "Neko" in their names. but hey, whatever floats your boat. it'd be nice to build my lil posse of Nekoyaro.

[Old Ape Face]

I've always wanted to go drag, on the internet, :P just to piss people off, but i'm not that kind of person.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...well, a lot of people are not aware of the fact that im actually a guy. or at least, i think i am. WAIT. (checks pants)

yep, im a guy. it's still there.

[Old Ape Face]

lol the last thing i want is one of those special operations :shifty: if you know what i mean.

:lol: ok Dramaqueen :D perfect

[earsofdoom]

Mines from all the horrible Ear infections i used to get when i was younger (almost lost my hearing, hearing is bad to this day) loud noises or ppl give me an "ears of doom" like feeling.

[Kali-chan]

Mine, contrary to popular belief... is not a kitty, it is the nivkname for Miriallia Haww from Gundam Seed and GS Destiny, and she is my favourite character from the series, and my idol to boot

[Steagol]

When i was obsessed with Lord of the Rings, i would always sneak around like Gollum. So, my friends decided to mix my name with Smeagol, making Steagol. Funny, it was suppose to be a "one week" inside joke...it's kept to me for 3 years...i use it in most of my screennames on any site...

[Japhyl]

I made mine up. I wanted an original name, and I just combined sounds that I like. It was also going to be the name of a character I made up, but I decided to just use it as an internet name.

[Meganly-chan]

This was a very old nickname for me, back when I first joined the forums.

[Stafal-chan]

:P mine is actually a little nickname from real life :lol: though i added the -chan :)....back in like 7th grade...me and my 2 best friends had one of those "Slam Books"...ya kno..the ones where you talk **** on people hahahaha....well after gettinga few taken and losing some...we decided real names...nto so smart...soooo we made up dorky little names...

S-Sir
T-Trip
A-and
F-Fall
A-A
L-Lot

yep that's what it all means XD we were all girls...we just chose Sir....because...it sounded cool....and if any of you have talked to me...you have probably found out...i'm a totally klutz...^_^ sooooo the name is rather fitting ^^

[konamiforever]

konamiforever:

im actually not a big die hard konami fangirl but its the 1st thing that sprung to mind when i was to pick a username i was sick of using my othernames so i started fresh- with possibly the lamest one ever

I couldn't bring myself to put konami4EVA so konamiforever it is

Konami btw for the seriously knowledge deprived are a development corperation that do games like silent hill and slot machines, trading games movies etc blah blah (on the offchance that maybe someone viewing wonders what konami is)

[Leader Desslock]

My real name is Desslock, but I'll admit that I shortened my title to Leader because of the forum username limit.

...whoa whoa. lay off the neko. i think there are already waay too many people here that have "Neko" in their names.
So... no NekoDesslock... Got it. :thumbsup:

[Ikari Warrior]

I took my name from a mountain range in a story that I thought I'd never write, and ended up writing it. Now, if only I could get motivated to publish the damn thing...

[Hopelesromantic]

Mine is basically the reality I live hehe.

No, no specific series based name for me.

But what can I say, I watch something like Sailormoon more or less for the sappy romantic sequences. I'm not watching it for much of any other reason eh.

After 45 years of this planet, you need to have something that's "nice" and not dark and miserable.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

So... no NekoDesslock... Got it. :thumbsup:

...hmmm. has a nice ring to it though. i do hope that the whole adding neko to the name thing will not be as instensive as the whole "OJ incident" a few weeks back.

see if you can fit a neko in you name. save a cat. put it in your name.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Once again, I shall explain:

VIDEL + She's a COOL....GIRL....

Videl...+ Cool + Girl...= VidelCoolgirl

Once again, I shall explain:

[JoeStrummer]

I got my name from the great Joe Strummer (RIP), lead singer of the Clash, the only band that mattered

[VidelCoolGirl]

...wow. that's pure genius.

Better than trying to make it all witty and such. I mean, I made that Username when I was a major noob and had an unhealthy obsession with Videl. It was a good idea at the time.

Although I did go for just Videl, but somebody took it, and posted only once.

[blackknight]

My name is blackknight because Black Knight was already taken. As for why I chose it, its because the Black Knight is my favorite character in the greatest movie ever made, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. His is a motivational story, teaching you to fight on no matter what the odds.

Or it could just be a really good laugh. Take your pick.

King Arthur: Look you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
KA: Look!
BK: Just a flesh wound.

[hiei_kurama27]

YuYu Hakusho was my favorite anime when I joined. Originally, I needed a name for my email account, so I could host my YYH fansite on geocities. I picked the two characters I thought were the coolest at the time, which were Hiei and Kurama. I usually used a number, 23 or 25, but the number 7 is awesome, so 27.

Though Im not much into Hakusho anymore (though it is still a good anime), so it can be referenced from the two mountains in Japan . . .

at school, my nickname was "snowplough" but then it eventually got shortened to "plough". then when i made hotmail address i chucked "super saiyan" on front because dragonball z is awesome, but most forums dont let you have a 17 letter long name so it was shortened to just "superplough".

That line was barely a step above the abysmal level of "ANIME MONTY PYTHON!!!111" that some person in the fanart/fiction board thought would be a great idea a while back.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

When I finally signed up here (after six months!) I'd just watched Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. I thought 'I remember why I love this song.' However I know someone who uses the moniker of 'One Winged Angel' so I chose Katayoku no Tenshi. Unfortunately that was no where near fitting, nor Was KatayokunoTenshi so I put 'の' to make it work. When ever I can fit it I'm Katayoku no Tenshi.

[RyoTD]

This is an old name of mine... I think the "Ryo" part is a reference to Ryo Hazuki of the Shenmue games, but I'm not sure. "TD" is short for "the Demon". I have no idea why I kept it. It sounded cool at the time, I guess. -_-;

AN is one of the very few sites I still use it on, though.

Yay, I understand now! o.o/

[Undrave]

My names come from great legends found all across the world that speak of a powerful creature...

Not really no... I totally made it up.

'Undrave' is short for, believe it or not, 'ThunderRaven'. (thUNDerRAVEn)

For quite a while I was known as HellRavenmon but after Tamers came off the air I decided to break out of the Digimon dependance so to speak and go for a real original name. The raven being a sort of totem animal for me I decided I had to fit that somewhere. A thunderraven is like a special type of thunderbird I invented... it's also got a complex origin in my head that has something to do with my love for neketsu stories like Saint Seiya but I won't bore you with my weird and complex thought pattern.

How I got around to cutting those specific letters in 'ThunderRaven' I'm not quite sure.

Now I use it everywhere on the net! On another board I'm known as 'Undrave Limito' but I kept the 'Undrave' part.

[Holy Knight]

I'm a great lover of irony. About three years ago I was obsessed with Hellsing and the awesomeness of Alucard. I considered his way of acting and found it to be quite similar to a Knight in some respects. Where the irony comes in is the "Holy" part. Hence, I had an avatar of Alucard and the name "Holy Knight" to go with it.

To follow suit, I now have an avatar of Yagami Light, who is definitely no Knight and certainly not holy.

[HSaabedra]

Pam Grier ftw.

Well, yes. But, blaxploitation was the dopeness back in the 70's. And it was hilarity at its finest.

[VidelCoolGirl]

No. I haven't changed mine. Well, I did, but I only got the letters capitalized. So I don't really count that.

[Suiko Eiji]

Are Jaehoon and I the only people that never changed their name on the forum?

Nope, I've had mine the exact same why since I signed up.

Where does mine come from? I was (guess I still am) a fan of Yoroiden Samurai Troopers and 'Suiko no Shin' (Shin of the Water) was my favorite of the five. The word itself is a fairly old origin from the Chinese literary classic - The Water Margin. It shares a similar pronounciation of the games Suikoden (which I've only thought about playing).

'Eiji' comes from a long, convoluted story relating to Battle Arena Tohinden because a good friend of mine adopted the name 'Sho' and Eiji was his little brother. It's grown on me, although I've fiddled around with the kanji to use.

I chose it for the forum because I wrote (very poorly) fanfiction and participated on the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers Mailing List e-mail group all under this name. I find it ironic now that I've looked at it how each of these are referenced in stuff in video games I think it's safe to say, I hate 90% of everything to do with video games.

[VidelCoolGirl]

For the record Suiko Eiji, I've always loved your Username.

Thanks. I thought about dumping it for a period of time for another name (a joke name I use on ANN - SalarymanJoe) but when I really considered it, I just couldn't give this one up.

Oh, and having Prons scream "SUIKO!!!!" at odd hours of the day helped, too.

Same here. I thought about getting it shortened to just "Videl," since everyone refers to me that way on AN, but I thought my username is so...weird. I mean, don't know why I chose "cool girl" at that point in time in Jan, 2003. but now, I would never give it up. I'm too attached to it.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

was my favorite of the five. The word itself is a fairly old origin from the Chinese literary classic - The Water Margin.

Damn it, I've always wanted to read Water Margin but can't find a good "version," of it I don't have to pay for. I'd buy it, but 20 bucks used is quite a lot of money to spend on something, especially if it reads like the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," novel, which I've read some of online, it'd go right over my head! I'd get the "English," All men are Brothers version but it only has like 700 pages, compared to the expensive one's 2,340.

I wish they'd make a manhua of Outlaws of the Marsh, like they did ROTK.

"Satsu" as in "殺" means to kill/slaughter etc in Japanese. I don't know, I guess I liked how it sounded at the time http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/Satsumaru/Emoticons/041.gif

Seeing how the username "Satsu" was taken on many other sites, I decided to added "maru" to it at the end. Which goes well when I try to sound it out, and makes the username rarer and more original http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/Satsumaru/Emoticons/onion14.gif

[{NG}Fidel]

Being Cuban but having lived most of my life in America put me in a weird spot. When I was young and not imparted with all the family secrets of the horrors that were commited to my family in Cuba when Fidel REALLY took power I always thought light of the subject. As a result I would always joke with my Grandfather and Grandmother about Che and Fidel and what not. And Finally when it came to Video games and for the first time I had to input a name Fidel was the first thing to come to my head. Plus in Middle school me and my brother always joked about Communists and Fidel came up for having a grade A++ Beard. I now use Fidelita in order to mock Fidel and me and my clan members mess with peoples heads online as they think Fidelita is a girl.
NG is Neutral Grounds which is the Clan me and two others started after our old clan FR (Federation Republic) had a not so glorious fall out. And Ive never changed my name.
Altthough Im known to use {NG}Nihilist and {NG}Clayer1 (messed up spelling player on the 360 and it stuck).

[Soluzar]

Are Jaehoon and I the only people that never changed their name on the forum?
You can pry the name "Soluzar" from my cold, dead hands.

[Undrave]

I never changed name either. I like to remain recognized.

Altough I wouldn't be against adding something after 'Undrave' *Shrugs*

[Illusions-chan]

Are Jaehoon and I the only people that never changed their name on the forum?

I haven't.

You can pry the name "Soluzar" from my cold, dead hands.

Ditto.

Personally, my name came from the fact that I'm not very keen on telling anyone the WHOLE truth. It's better to let people believe what they want until it's gets too obtrusive. I won't lie, but it may have come from the fact that I BS a lot. -_-; Oh well.

The -chan just got added on to be cute. ^_^

[Jon]

You know, I think he means for people who have been members for a few years. After a while, a lot of people change them after a couple years. I've wanted to so bad, but that damn "Videl" girl took the name, and posted only once. Pissed me off when I joined.
That's what happened with me! I wanted Jon but ther person who made it made two posts, and that was in like 2001.

:( :(

[Suiko Eiji]

Damn it, I've always wanted to read Water Margin but can't find a good "version," of it I don't have to pay for. I'd buy it, but 20 bucks used is quite a lot of money to spend on something, especially if it reads like the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," novel, which I've read some of online, it'd go right over my head! I'd get the "English," All men are Brothers version but it only has like 700 pages, compared to the expensive one's 2,340.

I wish they'd make a manhua of Outlaws of the Marsh, like they did ROTK.

Still buying collge text books, $20 sounds like a steal. Still having to read said books, though, I typically don't have time to read something that size for pleasure. Well, in addition to keeping up with other non-school activities such as my writing and avoiding a certain someone's translation projects...

[Alice Catherine]

I don't plan on changing mine in the future.

[Len]

Nebilim is a secret boss from Tales of the Abyss.
There are no pics of her on the internet, so I had to make my own.. xD

[lil' warrior]

Are Jaehoon and I the only people that never changed their name on the forum?

Nah. I've kept mine the same ever since I joined, in August 2002~

[Etchd]

*previously Li Syaoran. I was a CCS fanboy back then. And I remember another guy named Kinomoto_Shinji or something like that, so when I registered I tried to compete with him (I was childish back then, I still am :D )*

Changed to this name, cuz I felt I'm too old to be using that name, too cutesy. I was writing certain words on paper and something came up to me and wrote the word "Etch". It sounded cool but I wanted it to sound less familiar so made it past tense. Then, I was typing I missed the letter "e", and it looked better. Juz then I had my name changed.

Actually I'm waiting for another name change.
I hope I can get it.

:teehee:

[Kali-chan]

off topic, but how do you change your name???

[Bernard_Monsha]

off topic, but how do you change your name???

You have to invoke the forum gods pity and supplicate yourself to their manifest magnificence.

[Kali-chan]

?????? in other words...

[Etchd]

That means you'll have to request a name change.

2^ :lol: Yeah, I had to bend on my knees to get a new name :P j/k

[Len]

Does name changing do anything to your post count etc? If so I'l probably get mine changed. Where do we go for it?

[Evil_Koala]

^ Ma'am, you PM one of the mods...or Kevin...or something...

Are Jaehoon and I the only people that never changed their name on the forum?

I nevah changed my name

42ty3

[Etchd]

Uhm, nothing. Juz your user handle.
All you need is a very good excuse, I mean, reason. >_< :lol:

PM any of the admins and that'll do it.

[Suki]

You have to invoke the forum gods pity and supplicate yourself to their manifest magnificence.

You're the greatest.

[Len]

xD I PM'ed Josh about a name change. xD

[Evil_Koala]

O RLY? Who is Josh? What are you gonna change it too? Am I asking too many questions?

[Len]

Yup. xD Josh is the webmaster of AN.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

Keep your Avatar for a few days so we know it's you^_^
What was wrong with Nebilim?

[Suki]

I've changed my name 3 times.

The ROTTK Games, Anime Movie and Novel Etc were bad ***.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Geez. I just asked Kevin if he could just capitalize the letters, and he did it. If you give a good enough reason, most of the mods will do it for you.

[Lemina]

Originally known as SNK fangirl Yuri-chan, I then choose this current username more than 2 years ago. She is a sorceress from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue who specializes in black magic!! I found her personality to be so similar to mine, hence, I became Lemina. Lunar was a popular video game RPG series released for the Sega Genesis and then later on in the Playstation in the 90's and was released by GameArts. BTW, I still retain my Yuri-chan name at an SNK forum I frequent in, so I don't really miss it since I still use it there. :P I ended up changing it here because of an annoyance of messages about me liking "Yuri". >_<

[Kiyone]

I was going through a phase in 2000-2001 when I didn't want to be identified by my real name on the Internet, so, when I signed up with Ain't It Cool News, I decided to be "Kiyone" since... I like Kiyone.

Then, in December 2001, somehow an AN thread overreacting to a satirical anti-anime piece (http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.11.20.94827.169.html) that was obviously written just to troll anime fans came to my attention, and I decided to make a post pointing out that it's not a serious article and it is in no way meant to be taken at face value. I wasn't feeling too creative with the usernames that morning, so I just recycled my AICN user name, "Kiyone", even if Kiyone is a female and I'm not.

A month later, I (re-)joined the ANN forum, which had just rebooted from scratch since the older ANN forum was flamewar-central, but I used the more gender-appropriate nickname Tenchi.

Today if I join a message board, I'm just plain old Steve Brandon.

[Lemina]

Ironically, back in 2000, I used to have a username of the opposite gender. I registered the IGN VG boards as trunksdojo. Back then, I was just getting into anime and I had really got into Dragonball Z when it came out on TV. My favorite character was Trunks, hence, I became trunksdojo in IGN. Back then I didn't care, so I just chose what I liked at the time. I still use IGN just to link to my video game collection, but I still post there on the free boards once in a while. ^_^

[Geo]

I choosed Geo for three reasons:

-The Neo Geo.
-I felt there were too many Neo like names and not enough Geo's.
-Geo kinda associated with rocks/earth, an element I favoured at the time.

Then, in December 2001, somehow an AN thread overreacting to a satirical anti-anime piece (http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.11.20.94827.169.html)

Ah yes, such memories.. I'm pretty sure I'm the dude who linked that site when my brother showed me ^^; Not only was it a troll, the site that it was posted on was a site aimed at certain single white males (can't really remember what kind of male population though)

[Jeht Black1]

i chose Jeht Black because i act similar to the character Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop. i just decided to spell it somewhat different.

[Nano]

I got this name while walking the plains of Africa, it means "Ginger Man".

[Panko Z]

i honestly made mine up, i just didn't want to use my real handle but it actually took me 20 minutes or so to come up with. no associations or hidden meanings like everyone else. i'm sure some people assumed i'm a girl based on the "ko" but i am, in fact, a guy. the Z was added for some oomph, X is too common and at first it was going to be ZX but eventually it just didn't feel right. and although i enjoy DBZ it was not intended as any basis and it didn't click with me at the time.

coincidently, about 2 weeks after signing up i was at the supermarket getting some snacks and i spotted an item called Panko, apparently it's bread crumbs for cooking.

[shin_gyokakuran]

I'm not german, oops just pressed the enter bar too quickly XD

I was fascinated by mechs and robots. The shin was from shin getter robo, final days. I like that anime very much. I didn't want to use the name shin getter because someone is already using it and there was a shin username already :lol: I was also playing front mission for the super nes when I saw the name Gyokuran which means jade flower something' XD Just had an idea if I add a Ka to it, it will be more cooler to pronounce. Hence i came up with the name shin_gyokakuran. Its fun to write it in japanese too :lol:

[Dark_Shiki]

I liked the name Shiki, and I happen to look it up in a japanese-english dictionary, and it also happens to be a word meaning 'the four seasons'. I added Dark to give off my own touch of mystery and darkness.~Angela

[lister]

RED DWARF.. duh!

[Len]

Well, I changed my name, so I guess I should explain it. Len is from the Anime Tsukihime/The game Melty Blood: Re-Act and Act Cadenza. Backstory is on Wikipedia. <3 No spoilers.

[Sushikins]

Hey, my guess was correct...maybe it had something to do with you stealing my avatar in the collectable thread...

[Len]

Hey, my guess was correct...maybe it had something to do with you stealing my avatar in the collectable thread...

I didn't use it though. xD I grabby pawed it and made Nanaya make me supper. It was fun.

[yasly]

It's just one of my nicknames that my friends gave me.
I used to put in my phone messages at the end: yas ly. It meant: yasmine loves you. I know, I'm really cheesy sometimes. Well, one of my friends thought it was supposed to be: yasly.To make a long story short, it ended up being a nickname. And I like it, there's a sweet meaning behind it.

[Victory]

Uho! Thread resurrection

I don't remember why I picked this name, maybe the victory drawing at the beginning of some movies. I try to pick original user names for each forum. Also if you pick different user names people can't find out if you're a white supremacist (that's happened once here and another time on a 4ch text board I think).

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Obvious. As the token Key fan, I need not say more.

[Rurouni Saiyan]

Mine is an combo of Rurouni Kenshin and the Saiyan race.

At the time I joined, I was (and still am to this day) a huge Rurouni Kenshin and Dragonball Z fan.

And thus, the rise of Rurouni Saiyan continues.

[Alice Catherine]

My pen name. :)

[ANIMEJUNKY]

I got this name when I was fat, at around 12 I ordered a shirt off of this website in a size L with the words Anime Junky on it. Now I wear a small.^_^

[Lord Timaeus]

I got this name when I was fat, at around 12 I ordered a shirt off of this website in a size L with the words Anime Junky on it. Now I wear a small.^_^

No offense, but... that's not something I'd like to be wearing if I were (still) a 12-year-old albino quasi-Shrek.

Hell, I wouldn't even be wearing it today, as a 20-year-old quasi-Val Kilmer*.

*And I really wish people would stop comparing me to that guy...

[yasly]

Good for you! Did you have to work out a lot and do diets or did you just became thin when becoming older?

[ANIMEJUNKY]

*And I really wish people would stop comparing me to that guy...

Never said I own one of thise shirts now. I threw mine in a bon fire with several other large clothing articles, celebrating when I got to the big 100.

[Lord Timaeus]

I bet it's a fair assumption that you were picked on all through middle school. Nevertheless, I'm rather envious that you still decide to keep that username.

[Trefellin]

My name comes from one of my own characters:

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/Trefellin/Trefellin.jpg

This is Trefellin, son of Trefellgus. He is a faunish chieftain and obviously a badass. I just wrote down a bunch of name beginnings, middles and ends and then mixed and matched them until I got something I liked. Then I googled it to see how many other people had come up with the same thing. Trefellin was completely original.

[ANIMEJUNKY]

I bet it's a fair assumption that you were picked on all through middle school. Nevertheless, I'm rather envious that you still decide to keep that username.

A name is a name, not a person. Label me what you will if you are being negative, if you are not, then yes I was a big time back in middle school secretly staying up late to see Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim. Thankfully I changed, and trust me I know what you mean. Yet when I am working out to get through those last few tough sets I listen to one song and just picture my former fat self, then change my thoughts to the girl that means the world to me. These lines can sum it up, as I got the message, changed, and still don't care about certain things, as such my user name is just a name, not me.

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Suck My Kiss

Should of been, could of been
Would of been dead
If I didn't get the message
Goin' to my head
I am what I am
Most mother****ers
Don't give a damn

[Lord Timaeus]

I only mentioned it because I was pretty much the same way, only a lot less weeaboo than I am now. But I'd rather not think about such things anymore, and be prepared for the ****storm that is the future.

[Holy Knight]

I'm a great lover of irony. About three years ago I was obsessed with Hellsing and the awesomeness of Alucard. I considered his way of acting and found it to be quite similar to a Knight in some respects. Where the irony comes in is the "Holy" part. Hence, I had an avatar of Alucard and the name "Holy Knight" to go with it.

To follow suit, I now have an avatar of Yagami Light, who is definitely no Knight and certainly not holy.

I quoted since I already responded to this thread when it started.

However, I now have an avatar of Clark Gable, whom I found quite fitting when combined to my username.

Plus, the man is made of awesome.

[Alice Catherine]

Hell, I wouldn't even be wearing it today, as a 20-year-old quasi-Val Kilmer*.

*And I really wish people would stop comparing me to that guy...

Not really...

[ANIMEJUNKY]

Like you can do any better.

[yasly]

The worst comparison I ever got, was that I looked like the lead singer from the ***** cat dolls. Hell, how he came up with that I don't know, but you can trust me when I say, I don't look a bit like her. People are sometimes really blind.

[Lord Timaeus]

Not really...

That's what I thought, as well.

PS: lol, off-topic

[Alice Catherine]

I remember Char Aznable. VERY briefly.

[Lord Timaeus]

My apologies, Bernard.

"Timaeus" is derived from the Greek name Τιμαιος (Timaios), meaning "honor". Therefore, the name is pronounced "Tim-EYE-us" rather than "Tim-MAY-us". It, of course, is shared with the name of Plato's dialogue referring to Atlantis, which was in turn ripped off from the Doma arc in Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters.

[Lord Timaeus]

...meh. weren't you Lord Kuroishi?

I was, but I've grown sick of how weeaboo the name Kuroishi made me sound, so to speak.

[Ken-Ohki]

My cousin and I were trying to come up with names for Starcraft online. I got KenOhki'sRage and he got Freya'sRage (from FFIX). I became KenOhki'sRage when I forgot my password to my earlier name Tekrelious. I asked the moderators to change it to Ken-Ohki later when I realized the name wasn't taken.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

My parents were hippies, that's how I ended up with a name like Prons.

When I started talking to Chinese people I found that it was really hard for them to pronounce and spell Prons (Pronce, Pron, Pons), so I adapted a chinese name, kind of like how Cat Stevens adapted an Islamic name. I'm glad to say mine is a little less sillier than a lot of other foreigner's chinese names (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rowswell Big Mountain? I doubt he gets any chicks)

In everything on the Internet, I go as Prons. If I need a last name I put Amuro

[Mikosage]

Seeing as how this is an anime forum, I assume that many of you have heard of Gaiaonline. For those of you who are scratching your heads and furiously drawing out math equations to figure out what I'm talking about, it's a site where you make a little person and walk around in a little world to chat with people. It's...well...meh.

Anyway, when I was trying to sign up originally, I could not figure out a name. There are millions of users on that website, and I am seriously not exaggerating when I tell you that even scrawling random punches across my keyboard received the message, "USER NAME UNAVAILABLE".

So I thought for a minute. I absolutely adore Miko. They are what I consider to be one of the sexiest group of women on the planet. I dunno why, so don't ask. I have issues...lol

Then I thought, "Well, Miko are wise. What is a wise person called...?" *cue lightbulb above my head* Aha! A sage is pretty wise, right? Hells yeah!

So I put 'em together. Mikosage was born. To this day, if you Google "Mikosage", you'll get a bunch of my AMV's on Youtube and random posts across a bunch of forums. I suspect that I am the only one on the internet with that username thus far, as it is ALWAYS available on different sites.

(Lol, I was really mad when I tried making a Gmail account. It said username taken. I was like, WTF?! Who took my name?!!! Heh...turns out I made the account a few months before and totally forgot. XD)

We're not /b/tards, no matter how hard we try to be here. And there are plenty of hides more filled with scum and villainy than simply Gaia, like Habbo Hotel and GameFAQs.

But, I'm surprised "mikosage" is even that unique. There's even a Myspace account used by another Lord Timaeus, and I am in no way affiliated with it.

I thought that was you the one time I searched it.

Also, GameFAQs is absolutely horrible.

Also:
What the hell was with me IMing you and you signing out? I mean, I'm already pissed and emo and thinking I have nothing to look forward to this year and thinking I'm gonna die alone and listening to Cubicles by MCR and you pull this stuff.

Seriously.

[Gannon]

I'd explain, but it should be pretty obvious.

[MirKz]

Okay, my story about mine...

When I first joined here... possibly back in 02 or 03 I was under the nickname Apophasis (or some adaptation of that using other symbols etc to make it look "cool"). I used to only use the FanArt / Fiction section and barely glimpsed at the rest of the board. (That was back in the day when I first started to learn how to draw anime characters).

I then stopped coming here (life/busy/girlfriends etc got in the way), for a while, and when I'd come back I'd only check it out and then disappear for a long period of time again... needless to say, I ended up forgetting my password and login details, I think I also changed my email account so I couldn't get it back... LOL

Anyways, since coming back, I've had Mirkz since I was at school/highschool.
It's a shortening of my last name (u know... typical bloody Aussie type thing to do...idiots.. LOL), and because my last name is actually spelt differently I used a few different letters etc to make it look "cooler" :P

[Meson]

Wow, I didn't make a post last time.

Meson comes from my science fiction video gamer days when I was a noob. Meson guns are a type of weaponry. It slowly came my stage name as it began to stick. It also refers to a class of particles, which relates to my love of physics, which is good.

[Spadesy]

I think that spades are pWnage because they resemble sharp objects.

[Alice Catherine]

I'd explain, but it should be pretty obvious.

IT'S NOT ME I SWEAR.


Where the HELL did you find that?

[Scandiadream]

I like Scandinavia. And I dream a lot. Last night's dream involved my having a Barbie doll named Brooke with really straight blonde hair and a bikini.

Back in October 1997, I was trying to pick a Hotmail username. "Scandia" was taken, so I just put "Scandiadream" because I dream so much and so fatidically. And it was not in use. So it has been my internet alias since then.

Things are MUCH better now in every possible way.

[Samurai Drifter]

Trying to think up a name for Starcraft, and it seemed like everything was taken. So I grabbed a Gamepro and started flipping through it for ideas. There was an editor named Tokyo Drifter. I thought that was pretty cool but didn't want to rip it off directly, so I named myself "Samurai Drifter."

[YuriFanboy]

I was trying to think of a name. I figured I love yuri series, so I picked YuriFanboy. I kind of wish that I picked a different name. Maybe.

[Broand]

I kind of wish that I picked a different name. Maybe.

Luckily, you can change your name on this forum. Just ask a S-Mod

PM Kevin or Josh and have a good reason to change it.

I've been wanting to change mine to "Justin", but I can't think of any other reason than, I hate the 2011 on the end now and it seems too unnecessary and the J not being capitalized bothers the **** out of me.

In '96, i had no tolerance to caffeine and sugar, and 2 cans of coke were enough to make me hyperactive

one weekend, we organised a sleepover at a friends place. Having had a few cans myself and watching rugrats, i sreaked all over the place (in once incident, slipping over some water and landing with my bare arse on someone's face.. poor guy)

Tommy from Rugrats kept saying something about "being nakey"

which i was

which i am now, 12 years later

(well it is summer down here...)

Lord StarTimeusMorpher,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[ladyshiro]

why I came up with ladyshiro
well "lady" because I guess i'm a girl
and "shiro" is the name of one of my main characters in a story i'm writing.
and I thought ladyshiro sounded cool.

I wish there was some fancier reason for my name but that why.

I actually just made my name up pretty fast, I liked the Anime GTO I added Sub like substitute, and 21 is my favorite number :lol: it was really corny but it actually just stuck with me I like it now :)

[Syraxis]

I've had a bunch of names before I came up with the one I use now, I think it originated from a character I named when I used to play The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Since then, I've stuck with the name Syraxis.

I use the name in other forums, and video game characters.

[lister]

Red Dwarf. if you know the series then you know the name

[RecentMidget]

I did'nt really think of mine, it just happened. I was starting, and I just put it in.

[Old Ape Face]

I want to change mine to Metal Militia

But I think the mods are annoyed at me for asking to change my name so many times (like twice)

[superplough]

LOL NECRO POST

btw I miss Alice Catherine, Lord Timaeus, Evil Koala and Suki. They were all awesome.

Uh as previously stated, my user name is my high school nick name of plough but with super in front of it. It used to be supersaiyanplough but I shortened it before I joined AN.

PS Videl should change her name back to VidelCoolGirl.

[autsiticanime]

I wanted to use my You Tube account name, but for some reason didn't fit. I was going for autisticanime, but mistyped the name.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Any particular reason why you put autism in your name?

I mean it'd be like if I named myself Gonorrhea.

[autsiticanime]

Thats my diabillity, a high functioning type if I recall, but I'm not completely like Raymond Babbit if thats what you think.

However, when you say you're autsitic in a forum, CERTAIN people tend to disbelieve you.

@autisticanime's name: As I've learned the hard way, there's no such thing as autism on the Internet.

[lister]

well on the crazymeds website forum they'll belive you if you say you are autistic. any meds you take? just curious. also im wondering if one can retrieve an old screename.. see i was once belugakixazz but got banned because i one day suddenly turned on my sea friends

[Nakey]

However, when you say you're autsitic in a forum, CERTAIN people tend to disbelieve you.

Except that the quote's from the attention whoring retard tool that was Starmorpher. not worth even thinking about...

Peppermint is one of my favorite candies. I also use it on the bladegash forums. Im an oldie there as well lol!

Its nice to be back for a while :)

[333jeffery]

It's the name of my fav cartridge...

[lost7]

I don't remember how long ago it was but whrn i first joined AN i was under the name battosai. this was back when there were clans on the forum. i forgot my password so i made this new name. i use it for a lot of my internet names. i couldn't think of a name at the time so i thought "damn i am lost". and that's how my new name came to be.

well i think its about time for me to be hitting the old dusty trail.

[f2akid]

I think I owe an explanation for my name as I'm pretty sure no one gets it.

Basically my close friends call me 'faith' or 'faith man' (that's another story altogether but to put it bluntly it's because of me being more religious than my friends when we were younger). And I had an American friend years back who would always say the word 'kid' at the end of most of his sentences, ad-libbed it all the time. Now I've always been a fan of the east london rapper Kano and he sometimes says 'K.A!' (the first two words of his stage name) in his songs, so I would say 'F.A!' as a joke every now and then. My American friend liked me saying F.A. and when he saw me he would say something like 'Yo, F.A. kid!'. And that rolls off the tongue for me considering the context of it all (also I haven't seen American guy in years) and when I was thinking of a name for AN I was going to put faith or faithman but me being myself, I decided to make the name a little complicated and thought about f2akid as in - F.A. kid.

So, I'm sure that's not what anyone was expecting but it finally explains the name.

[superplough]

^It explains everything but the 2.

[f2akid]

^It explains everything but the 2.

Just added that as a link between the F and the A, like saying F to the A but shortened to f2a to make it a whole lot simpler (while complicating it at the same time).

[superplough]

ahhhhhhhhhhh

[wrathborne]

I Came up with the name for a character I was making a while ago, thought it would serve here too.

[Dudie]

Hi my original name was Dudeman3 which came from dude as in "DUDE" and man because i am one and 3 cause theres 3 of me, but then i shortend it to Dudie and now i sound like something that comes out the rear end of people, lol:P

[taily]

Indeed!!!!

[SuperSailorMoon]

Well at the time I liked Sailor Moon, much more then I did now. So I picked Super Sailor Moon. Because the was my fave from of Sailor Moon.

[DazarGaidin]

My name is taken from a fictional language in a fantasy series of novels by robert jordan called The Wheel of Time. Dazar means "Eagle" in that language and Gaidin is a title for special bodyguards of magic users in the world, and it means "Brother to Battles".

Ive been using this name for at least 11 years on the internet :D

[Yuki]

I like staring at the blue sky while blowing up dandelions. I guess these two things do not sound all that connected to one and the other.

[Achron]

well, mine's pretty simple. I often feel like I'm not living in the right time, so I'm a bit of an anachronism.

[Nomnomnom]

Punnchy

I used to get into fist fights back in middle and high school and i was known for throwing punches more then anything else, after putting one kid int he hospital, i was given the nickname Punnchy by my fellow scouts, shortly before i got kicked out for beating up said kid.

[SangoStrummer]

I went through a "Sangoissofreakingcool!" stage. I really admired her loyalty to her brother.
I added the Strummer for the late great Joe Strummer....an because I was a little crazy about AN's JoeStrummer. :P

[superplough]

I used to get confused between you and JoeStrummer on here :P

[Jia]

Jia translates to pretty in Chinese. After a song.

[Caster13]

This old thread seems to pop up every now and then.

[ThePhillyFlash]

Well, when I first joined up, I was plain old JeffB which was grossly unimaginative. But I corrected that oversight by renaming myself ThePhillyFlash after a character from a crappy comedy from 1980, "Chu-Chu and the Philly Flash" starring Alan Arkin and Carol Burnett. But I liked the handle since it incorporated the name of my hometown!

:)

[The Collector]

*Appears*

Many view my name "The Collector" as a description of what fans of a certain fandom does as in Anime or anything else; and that's collect items. This had a part of having this name as it works, but it does have a materialistic view of me which I did not intend to possess.

The true meaning is that I'm a collection of many things that make me, me. In thought, action, beliefs...etc., an eclectic being if you will. (It also describes my secret powers of collecting lightening and collecting the powers of others and turning them into live action figures and putting life into non living action figures.)

Some made a referance that I'm named after a name that the comic book guy used in a Simpson's episode, but I can tell you I never knew about that episode until way after I made my existance on AN and the episode may have been shown after I debuted here on AN.

Thank You.

*Disappears*

[0235]

cool. i think that my name may have been an important security number of some sort, and i must have forgotten it, then re remembered it, but i cant remember what it was for, maybe a school locker, or a computer ID name, but i cant remember, lets hope it was just a locker number, not someting important!

[Fobb]

Its the last four numbers of your SS. I checked.

[Meegle]

Its just a different way of spelling my real name

[DavenIII]

Daven, (or dav) is a nickname I got in RL, me and a friend were at a bar like 8 years ago trying to pick up girls, we used fake names, we met girls, eventually started hanging out with these girls alot, they learned my real name (Mike) but decided to continue calling me Dav (short for Davenport lol!) anyhow.

to this day there is 2-3 girls I hang out with on occasion that call me Dav.

[l0k1]

I just liek mixing numbers and letters for thrills..

[goddessofanime]

*was watching Ah My Goddess at the time.*

Wanted something original. I kinda hate it now, but everyone pretty much calls me GOA or Goddy now.

[Jae Hoon]

It was in a Video Game.

[Onigiri]

I was hungry when I made my account.

I keep wanting to call you Nogara coz I think it sounds cool, but then no-one knows who I'm talking about >_<

[f2akid]

The true meaning is that I'm a collection of many things that make me, me. In thought, action, beliefs...etc., an eclectic being if you will.

So why not just call yourself 'The Collection' instead? There wouldn't be as much confusion then.

[DavenIII]

I keep wanting to call you Nogara coz I think it sounds cool, but then no-one knows who I'm talking about >_<

??? because its her Twitter name?

GASP! I'm shocked! How can you hate being called a goddess? :lol:

[superplough]

??? because its her Twitter name?

It's her name on IM too

[goddessofanime]

??? because its her Twitter name?

I use it on YM.

[goddessofanime]

GASP! I'm shocked! How can you hate being called a goddess? :lol:

It's actually kind of nice now :)



But still...I've had goddess since I joined here back in the Dark Ages.

[0235]

oh, and @l0k1

loki is also the AI for the planet harvest in the Halo universe,

[Arnold]

Because it's my actual first name and I REALLY suck at coming up with handles...

[Wolfgang]

It's my middle name

[Jon]

My name is Jon.

[superplough]

This thread always seems to resurface

superplough:

at school, my nickname was "snowplough" but then it eventually got shortened to "plough". then when i made hotmail address i chucked "super saiyan" on front because dragonball z is awesome, but most forums dont let you have a 17 letter long name so it was shortened to just "superplough".

[A Dead Spy]

It's one of many names I've used while playing Team Fortress 2, specifically in the peak of the Sniper vs. Spy update. Simply put, it's a name ideally used by a Spy equipped with the Dead Ringer unlock, which allows the user to feign death after taking damage while simultaneously cloaking yourself. Naturally, it's a name meant to deceive the enemy players after supposedly dying.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

It's my name.

If you have ever read the SDK (Samurai Deeper Kyo) Manga, you will understand why I picked my username. In the event that you do, there may be more than one character personality I feel I sort of match.

But Yukimura is so shiny :P

[fujyoshi]

well I asked for a name change like a year or 2 ago and thats how the fujyoshi name happened /heh before I was rebekah1-anime which came from an old email that I used ta have.
