Where did your nickname/alias come from?

Just wondering, how did you come up with your Scratch name or any other name you commonly use.

My-chemical-romance, obviously I got this name because I used to like the band before they started making pop songs.

For those of you who know me elsewhere. Nervesplitter, was a weird thought in my head and instead of thinking "earspitting" I thought "nervesplitting" and a few changes and I got that name, anything new I sign up for doesn't use this though.

For those of you who know me on wurm (like, none of you). Liru (LiruOtaku if the name is taken) is a werewolf off an anime (discontinued  sad  ) which I was a fan of, I normally use it as a name because people who watch the show will normally talk to me and ask about my name and we normally become friends, REALLY important to have friends in wurm, or you're nobody. LiruOtaku is only ever used if Liru is taken, otaku means you're a fan of anime, so it fits nicely.

So yeah, discuss where you got your name from.

Re: Where did your nickname/alias come from?

I was obsessed with cats at the time I joined Scratch. Don't blame me now, it was 3 years ago  tongue
The name I use everywhere else (Skirmisher, or Skirmisher2048 if it's taken) was a name I came up with on a forum for a certain 14-year-old game. I played the "skirmish" mode a lot, so I called myself Skirmisher. (The 2048 on my alt name is a power of 2, BTW.  big_smile )


Yawn.

Re: Where did your nickname/alias come from?

This is a random series of button mashing.

My other nickname is from something I own.


Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Re: Where did your nickname/alias come from?

Because mine comes from several things. Because it has blazer. Because V82 is short for an old school vehicular combat game. Because combining the two sounded good.

Because.

For those worthy to know my other name, it is derived and slightly changed from this article's title.

Re: Where did your nickname/alias come from?

jji7 was the email address they gave me at school. My teacher said to get a Yahoo email address because it has unlimited quota unlike the school one. 4-letter email addresses were not allowed so I appended my favourite car, the Nissan Skyline and got jji7skyline.

I've been using it ever since  wink

Is your name actually JJ? Am I the fake JJ and are you the real one? Or are we both fake?  tongue

Re: Where did your nickname/alias come from?

fg123, fg3756547, xenotype, MrXenotype, xeno.

Lets begin.

fg are my initials. Look in many older posts to actually know my name. I decided 123 to append to it because I was four years younger when I registered for Scratch.

3756547 is RHY's signature numbers which I took the liberty of memorizing. So if you see an online account with fg3756547, RHY probably posted on the userpage telling me that I stole his numbers.

Xenotype is a name that greenflash came up for my scratch OS back then.
I've adopted the name and online users usually just shorten it into Xeno.

At one point or the other, I added Mr to it. And MrXenotype, which I use nowadays, is  created!

Thank you for reading and enjoy your day.  lol
