Where did your username come from?

[Atroxide]

I am always interested in how people created their username, this topic is for everyone to share their story about how they created their username.

The name Atroxide was creating because I was in chemistry class trying to brainstorm a new username because TexasMd91 (My previous username) was getting really boring, and wasn't unique, just my state, my initials, and the year I was born. I decided to go with the the base word Atrox, its a race in the online game Anarchy Online and I liked the look of the word, I couldn't think of anything interesting to spice it up and make it unique, and I looked up at the board and saw "sodium bromide" written on the board so I stole the suffix "ide" and Atroxide was born.

[[JiF]BloodGod]

I like this thread Atroxide, I have often wondered the same myself.

The username I used at the begining of playing Battlefield was ( Time To Die ) wow that was many moons ago. I switched to BloodGod about 3 months into playing, for pretty much the same reason you switched.....it bored me. So at the time I had just watched ( Blade 1 ) and really liked it. So I decided to become the evil BloodGod no one ever got to see. And now with a little luck, alot of dying, and some really great guys here on [JiF], the name [JiF]BloodGod is known world wide. Sometimes admired, sometimes laughed at, but known all the same.

[[JiF]Uncle Stinky]

As you might guess, my nephews and nieces gave me my name. We share the view that farts are hilarious.

[[JiF][AARP]Tissueman]

31 years in the tissue industry making toilet paper and paper towels. I was signing up for something and needed a 'user name'. Spur of the moment decision. Given how many 'bullets' I've absorbed playing games it seems appropriate -- New and Improved - Now can absorb bombs and rockets too!"

Atrox,

I actually used to work with Tissue (now he's retired and I'm stuck!!).
I used to do all the water chemistry & treatment for our business unit.
Plus, I do a mean Bobby Boucher imitation!!!

ps. Frenchy, if it makes u feel any better, my head has been shaved for the past 5 yrs now to help Father Time along. Much more "aerodynamic" being folic-ly challenged.

[[JiF]FrenchAfroman]

[clant]

My user name is a mixture of clank from ratchet and clank the video game and link from, well if you don't know where link comes from it's pretty disturbing.

[[JiF]phantomx]

phantom is what I used way back in my dial up BBS days (the good ole days when you thought your 14,4 baud modem was the fastest thing around). Added the X after having too many people with the same name and the 2005 when I got my gmail account. Am getting very tired of it but unfortunately I have had it for so long and I have a lot of accounts connected this this alias, I can not see getting ride of it.

[[JiF]KellysHero]

Growing up I had a calico cat named Kelly...that and love the movie Kelly's Heros. My BF3 name is KellysGyros though as Heros was gone and love gyros!

[[JiF]Uncle Stinky]

Wasn't Kelly played by Telly Savalas? So Kelly's Gyros kinda makes sense...

My username is a portion of my last name and a nickname that me, my brothers, and father have all shared.

[[JiF]corn]

When i started gaming my son was sitting in a chair beside me and gave me some suggestions.
He was saying things like, killer,punisher,full clip,etc.....
I told him i wanted something that was generic and non-threatening because i knew it would be different and maybe even disarming.
Names like Dusty Carrot,Pie Crust,and even turkey dinner came to mind.
That's when a random thought came to me in the name cannedcorn007.
After several years i decided to shorten it to it's current simple version.
