How did you come up with your username?

Post Reply New Topic

Mine is a pseudonym I used starting in 6th grade when I began submitting things to the student newspaper.

I chose Dex because it comes from the latin dexter, which means skilled, which is the root word for dexterous, which means "having mental skill or adroitness." Kaden is my own derivative of "cadence" because when I write, all the problems I have with verbal communication seem to melt away and my mind has an uninterrupted flow to my fingertips. When I write, I develop a rhythm.

I also read somewhere that Kaden was a surname that meant "figher," although I can't remember where...maybe I imagined it.

I got given the nickname Fiz at uni and its just kinda stuck with my friends. Hence I just used that.

Ming: Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?
Klytus: An obscure body in the S-K system, your Majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet ... "Earth."
Ming: How peaceful it looks.
(He activates a console, and watches as earthquakes and floods occur. They both laugh.)
Klytus: Most effective, your Majesty. Will you destroy this, uh, "Earth?"
Ming: Later. I like to play with things a while. Before annihilation....

lol

I wondered where Dave Zephir got his evilness from ^_^

My username was made a couple of years ago, when I needed to have a nickname for a game of Quake 3 on a LAN. In my name, I tried to give the impression of a strange & wierd knight. And the name stuck for all the website forums I visit.

My username is GSDwolf, from the GSD, or German shepherd dog, the breed which I own, and wolf because I love wolves.

Since I was asked this twice on chat, I'll post it here. I first read the name "Ozymandias" in a British Sci-Fi trilogy by John Christopher back in the 60's-early seventies. The main character was a resistance organizer pretending to be "mad', looking for young recruits against the Alien Overlords of Earth. When the young people reached a certain age, the Aliens attached mind control devices or "caps" in a "capping" ceremony. So Ozymandias would look for those who didn't fit in or were uncomfortable with being "capped". He would find them and send them to a secret place where they could plan ways to get the Earth free.

Anyway, he would wander around pretending to be mad and spout odd lines from the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Brysse Shelley. I should also add that the "capping" didn't always work and those that were affected badly did go mad. They weren't violent, but, were mostly peaceful and just wandered around acting strange. I never read the poem until a few years ago.

Anywho, my user name has no origin in "The Watchmen Comics" or a minor character in the "X-men" comics. If I left anything out, please ask me.

Peace

Obsessions, obsessions...

It's a bastardized spelling of a 5,000+ year old Chinese mathematical / philosophical construction. Has to do with the idea of implicit order underlying apparent chaos. A bit of a cognitive stim, really.

Named after one of the most important questions in the whole world.

Cuz I like Jammin' when I can

Auron is my fav char off of Final Fantasy X. As for Kusari, it is the name of a space nation (an area of space conisting of planets, stations, and space lanes owned by an entire nation) in the space fighter game Freelancer. Kusarians are the ancestors of a thousand Japanese space colonists that came to the Siria Sector on the Japanese sleeper ship Kusari. Since Freelancer and Japan are both on my obsession list (along with FFX), i chose my name. I am no longer Archmage. [007] The name's Kusari. Auron Kusari. [/007]
