Reason(s) behind your name.

[Stranger]

The idea of this topic is for people to understand why others use the name they use. For instance, why is Defaulter called Defaulter. It helps eachother understand you more (I hope).

Please don't take the piss out of somebody because named themselves after their imaginary friend, a lot of people here look down on that kind of behaviour, and the last thing you want is a bad reputation.

Someone posted a topic like this in the LDR section (can't remember who), and seeing as it was deleted I thought I would kindly borrow the idea. Anybody is welcome to post here, not just BAS members.

If I get 5-10 replies, I'll post my reason behind calling myself Stranger.
Have fun!

[NamTaey]

My username was created via use of all the letters in my last name. I suppose I have a lack of creativity.

[IronShotGun]

My name comes from the dark ages, of Ye Ol' Minecraft *Thunder then lightning hits a near by tree*. Get it 'cause there is iron and its a shot gun. Better then my friends name "Bitch1". :3

[MUSEFan]

MUSE is a music band, I'm their fan. MUSEFan.

My IGN is PABH, it stands for Pulled Apart By Horses and it's another music band.

As you can see, these two nicknames are the result of several months of work and effort.

[Varun]

Ok, well.
My name is my name. My IGN is the result of ten year olds not being able to pronounce my name. Hence Vroom.

[Valor]

I was playing a game called assaultcube, me and a friend were creating a clan and we were looking at names that were only 1 word long for our clan. I came across valor, he didn't like it, so I ended up using it as my name =P.

[MrHatter]

My brother and i spent about 5 million hours trying to come up with a minecraft name that didnt have #'s and was somewhat good. And somehow, we came up with Mr_Hatter ^.^

[Ryu]

My favourite names Ryuga but due to the fact that there is a 15 limit char for your name and i had to abbriviate my name to Ryu then i just fancied it and kept how it was.Also another reason is because Ryu represents dragon in japanese and i am a keened of dragons.

[Stranger]

Great replies guys :D
I guess it's my turn now.

When I was quite young I made a friend on the internet called A Stranger Returns. We would often talk about stuff, play games and other stuff. He died in a car crash in Poland. So in honour of his memory, I use Stranger as my screen name across just about everything I do.

I also use it because my favourite movie is called Sword of the Stranger (Valor's favourite genre, anime).

I'm also known as Lynx in some places as Lynx' are my favourite animal.

[MUSEFan]

Ok, well.
My name is my name.

Wow, cool name. Sounds badass.

O wow, sorry Stranger.

[LordmilkyNcookies]

Oh boy, where to begin...

I'm not really sure how my name came out to be. It could have been when I had been eating cereal(Of course, with milk) one morning, and my mother got a call, and she blurted out "Oh Lord..."
I was signing up for something later that day, and I guess i put two and two together to make the name Lordmilky-and thus the legacy of the username continues.
Maybe I had thought it up earlier, but didn't pop up in my head at that time.

Who knows?

(The cookies part was thought up approximately a year ago.)

[Varun]

Thank you. Thank you very much ;p

Please don't look on this question as an intrusion of your privacy, and feel free not to answer, but how did you know that he passed away?

His sister told me about a month after I found an RIP topic dedicated to him on some forum.

[CrisisFlarez]

Well my name was CrisisFlare but I changed it recently to Crisis the reason behind this was it was actually a nickname IRL at school. My teacher I think in 4th grade a few years ago called me a crisis and well it stuck I guess. Why she called me a crisis,is becuase i spilled confetti on her . Dont ask why I had confetti with me...........
