Why did you choose your username?

This is a thread asking why you chose your username.

I chose mine because bosox is an abriviation for boston red sox and they are one of my favorite teams. The numbers are my birth date.


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Why did you choose your username?

The reason I chose my username is pretty lame really.
I started scratch when my mum was still up to date with computery stuff, so she made an account for me. My littlest brother was only 4 and couldn't say Sophie (am I allowed to say that?? hmmm...) so he called me toasty. Then my dad started calling me it as a sort of pet name. They thought it was cute! So that is how I got my name. You might have thought it was ok before you heard this story, and now you probably don't never mind!!  tongue

Re: Why did you choose your username?

I have no Idea.... My friend had the name "empoleon". So, because that was the pokemon I wanted to start with for diamond, it ticked me off in a fun sorta way... So to get back at him I named myself "torterra", becuase thats who he was going to start with. aaahhh... pokemon.... when I was twelve I was still so headstrong with it. O_O

Re: Why did you choose your username?

Mine has a long and stupid story attached to it.

In the fifth grade, I gave out this weekly comic series called redwood, which is about these friends at a camp(unoriginal, I know.). The climax kinda involved the world's tallest Redwood tree, so I guess that's where I got the "tree" part of my username.

The floating part is an inside joke. I am NOT telling it to you guys.

The magic part.....well, I am a good magician, so I guess that's where it came from.

I read this over, and it sounded kind of stupid. Just like me.

Re: Why did you choose your username?

Well, I have a long story, too. Well, back when I was in, like, 3rd grade, I was really into that T.V. show, Xalion Showdown. So, that was what the "X" was for Xalion and the Khaoz was for chaos control (you know, from Sonic). It used to be Xchaos. But then I did the "K" to make it cooler. Then, not so long ago, I did the "Z" to make it cooler. So, that's how I have the name "Xkhaoz".

Re: Why did you choose your username?

BoltBait... a slang term from the game Magic: The Gathering.

Some would say that I am the perfect target for a lightning bolt.  So, yeah, it fits like a glove.

Re: Why did you choose your username?

Well, lets see.  I used to use the user name RandomLightbulbHead when Planet Hot Wheels was around. That got a little repetitive to type, so I switched to Racer or Mach1 or TheFastOne or a zillion other ones, until I started to use Blaze. Then I added a "r" at the end, because I thought it was a lot cooler sounding. Then the "V82" part of it is a PS1/N64 game I still play, Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense. Thus, "blazerv82" came into the world, and I have been using it ever since.

I also abbreviate it to BV82, and also use Cyanide sometimes.

I'm obsessed with history, and Gettysburg is one of the closest battlefields to where I live, so that part's explained. I was born on August 11th, and I've got a couple other connections with 11, like it's my number for my soccer team.

Re: Why did you choose your username?

(was there a topic like this before? I remember posting the story to mine somewhere.)

Well, my username had a lot to do with my series/story Shift Beast and it's dominant species, werewolves. Werewolf and Half-wolf are the same, but in my story, half-wolf was more commonly used to refer to the wolf-shifters.
And then Leader to establish the highest rank in the God Tribe (wolf shifters).

Apparently my nickname became HWL or Half-Wolf after that, even at school.
