How did you come up with your username?

I chose my name because I'm an atheist. However I did not invent the phrase "Impeach God", this was on a button Richard Stallman (famous computer programmer and philanthropist) used to wear when he was a kid.

Barracuda was made for NP. In 8th grade, me and a couple of friends were talking at lunch, and I mention that if I ever did graffiti, I would sign 'Barracuda" the name stuck.
I later change to Gatefreak, as I love the show Stargate, and am sort of a freak. I tried to change back once and that didn't work, so I figured I would just use Gatefreak there, and Barracuda everywhere else. I do like Barracuda better, as I think it describes me and my personality better.

it was my nickname on swimteam.
people said that i looked likr the dude who played iceman on X Men 2.

It was a name that kids used to call me in elementary school. I think something about my skinny little arms and legs and maybe something about some wild gesture I was into reminded the other kids of a flailing pile of spaggetti.

it's my initials, actually often i add a number two or zero zero two..but i thought i would just use the three letters this time.

hehe interesting thread.. my name is just based on an interest in electrical energy. Windpower, Solar, etc

It's short for "edward"

Well... I play a lot of videogames.

In the game Gunstar Heroes (and several other games made by the same company), the last boss is named Golden Silver.

I chose the nickname back in 2000 for a web forum, and have used it ever since.

My name is based off the god of the dead in old egyptian culture. Most people think it's from Stargate, though the Anubis in stargate is pretty cool. The 612 portion was created in a random name generator for a video game I played where Anubis itself was taken as a name already. I simply stick with the 612 part now.

I like snowboarding. If there's snow, all I want to do is snowboard. Weeee!

I used my first initial! I can't believe that this site allows one-character usernames!

Mine comes from a secret club me and my friends had when I was 12. We had secret club names, and mine was Frankenstein. Hence, Franky.

I used to be totally obsessed with Doctor Who, and as I grew weary, I moved on to other interests, including what many consider to be the ancestors of Doctor Who, the Quatermass serials. I have been using this as a username for years now, over 4 of the forums I've been to (not including this one). For two others, where apparently "Quatermass" has already been registered, I used "coprus sanctum". Latin scholars will get the joke.

Mine is the welsh verison of my frist and middle name!

My user name is named after a card (obviously), but please don't mistaken me as a card-playing fanatic (I'm actually an FPS fanatic). I only have a general interest in cards. Ace of Spades simply means good luck.

* Someone * (please do not ask who, as I might NOT remember that person...) called me Blue Fire Bird last year. One of my drawings shows a ' Fire Bird'. Blue is my favorite colour.
