Topic: whats the story behind your username?

Exactly the title - what is the story behind your username?

Xtreme_Playa187

Xtreme was my nickname growing up, since I used to come home scrapped, bruised or injured a lot.
Playa was just a young me trying to make gamer sound cool.
and 187 is my favorite number.

WigSplitter87 - Already explained mine before, is from a line in Men in Black 2 (crappy film but hey!)

And of course 87 is the year myself, final fantasy and I thinkkkk metal gear was born. So a great year all things considered.

KALofKRYPTON
I'm a shameless superman and DC fanboy

Clay Davis is a great character from The Wire, was lazy and threw in the year I was born.

Mine is actually the name of a character from the anime Fushigi Yuugi named Tasuki (pronounced Tahs-kay). When my friends and I first watched the series they started calling me Tasuki cause he was my favorite character and according to them I was most like. When I started posting on forums and needing user names I just started using Tasuki and have been since.

When we first got AOL at home, my brother used to go on the chatrooms a lot, and his handle was get2jaime. We always joked that I'd eventually become get2sammyb - and, when it was finally time for me to enter the wonderful world of AIM, that's what I went with. It's stuck ever since.

SKC_Diamond
At my old school I was obssed with minecraft and my username was DimondzHunter and we played halo at lunch time but then we all started making our own little clans me and my friends came up with SKC Super Kool Clan yes I know it sounds stupid in halo we had to put our clan tag infront of our name the problem was SKC_DiamondzHunter didn't fit in the text box so I had to make it SKC_Diamond I don't call the SKC super kool clan now its just there and will be forever

I used an online anagram maker - it's my real name as an anagram. A bit clunky but it has stuck now.

I think its great. I would do the same but it would be ibananaman_ haha. Everyone says I'm quite load so noisy and I once was a rapper so M C. But what's brilliant is anyone online has always called me mac noisy which I think is pretty awesome.

I did reply with a Wire reference but looks like my post "got lost" - rest assured it was a doozie and you'd have loved it.

When younger my friends and I used to do prank phone calls, because we were awesomely cool thirteen year olds. I used to speak in a rasta voice when doing it. Someone we called asked for my name and I just spat out "Rasta... made... us, Rastamadeus!"

Couple of years later a band by the name of Mystery Jets made a song called it too. I've long thought of suing.

I love YouTube Poops from 2007 til now, need I say more?

Was playing TradeWars on a BBS in college with some friends, and we all took names from old cartoon characters. Duddly Doright, Underdog, Droopy, Bugs Bunny and the like. I used to leave message beacons in each sector "Savoir Faire is everywhere!" and get a lot of hate for it as I would leave an amount of space mines that made it look as if a port or a ship was in an adjacent sector when you scanned it, and people would warp in to destroy the beacon, and die.

All of that is nonsense if you've never played TradeWars, or even know what a BBS is. suffice to say, that was some time ago, but a lot of fun

I had a Rasta on the phone yesterday asking for a Tata venbis - turned out after 10 minutes it was a Toyota avensis was that you?

iSillyBoiJudas... chose this name at 16
'i' is implying myself
SillyBoi is just from what I used to call myself on the internet
Judas I felt at the time was a darker side to me. Judas from the bible who betrayed Jesus. I just combined the names & it sounded, & looked on paper pretty cool. 5 years later and I would still not change my name, maybe the 'i' I would take away though.

I can neither confirm nor deny.

I don't think they have the money to afford a lawyer nowadays, haha. They've gone on and are still around but sadly once the singers dad left the band (yep, dad) they decided to go after the money with chart-friendly crap. They lost everything that made them special and faded along with all the other Thamesbeat bands from the mid '00s (God I still miss Larrikin Love). Shame. If you find yourself with a free hour, have a listen to their first album 'Making Dens' as it's still wonderful.

NathanUC (also nathanuc1988.. year I was born):
Nathan is my name (no really!). The UC is actually from my Dreamcast days of gaming. Back in the 56k modem days of online gaming on my Dreamcast, I used to stay up countless hours playing Unreal Tournament. Having gotten quite good, I joined leagues and tournaments on SegaNET and was eventually picked up by a clan named Unreal Champions. In those days, you'd denote your clan simply by modifying your name... in this case Nathan~UC.

We generally dominated in the fan hosted leagues and were recognized as the second best. Over time, the leader left me in charge of UC, where we continued playing until 2001. I've lost touch with all of my previous members, but I've kept the UC tag in my name ever since. It's one of my proudest gaming achievements. While UC might be gone, I've since created "Functions" as a cross-platform gaming group of friends.

When I was young I used to write poetry and a poetic license is called synalepha, also called elision. The spanish word for that is "sinalefa" so I stuck with it and here I am.
