This was just something I was wondering about. Why did you all choose your names? Is it your regular screen name, or did you just come up with it? Is it your real name, like Alan Bates or Just Jon, or is it completely unrelated to the real you? Mine is obvious. I took my real name, then added a few random numbers to the end, because Dan is a really boring screen name. If there's already a thread like this, nevermind, it must be long dead anyway. |

Depends on the angle you're looking from. Or maybe, reality is being twisted so that where stands a psychotic kid with homicidal tendencies, you see Mr Peanut. |

Ou des is a pun from the Oddysey. In the scene with the cyclops Oddyseus is asked his name. He replies he's No Body, or Ou Des in Greek. |

When I first joined a forum (it was for the freeware game Notrium) I was...hm...7? I wished to make an original name. So I played around with a keyboard and got Arc, added 666 to make it longer. Later on another forum, I just used Arc. On the SAME forum I discovered that my name 1)Was a PS1 game called "Arc the Lad" and 2)The name of some generic pirate in Final Fantasy....origins? So there goes zee original name. And Im pretty sure I have seen Malitixus or some variant of it somewhere....

I actually have a kinda interesting story 'bout this. See, everywhere but here, I go by "Shadow". It was because at the first forum I went to, you could choose an avatar while giving your username. So I found a nice Shadow avatar from FF6, and chose "Shadow" as my name. Not really imaginative. Anyways, fast forward sommat like two years, maybe more, and I was signing up at the TWC board for the purpose of posting for CSNES. At the time... I wasn't feeling particularly ninjetic. Now, there were three factors as to why I chose Cyrus. The first being I had just read about the... persian king, was it? I can't even remember anymore. The other two were two other Cyruses I knew online, one based on CT and one based on Cyrus the Virus from Con Air. I had just finished a Cyrus sprite representing one of them in my RPGMaker2k(3, it was just 2k at the time) game, and I figured it was small and I would spend much time there, so it wouldn't matter me stealing their names. I also added Knight to the end for a bit of personalization, but... Anyways, everywhere I went by Shadow either died or turned to crap, so now I'm pretty much just known a Cyrus (Knight). Though, I should also note that this is why I never go by "Cyrus" on MSN, since I have not one, but two people on that list by the same name. So that's the origin of Cyrus Knight. |

In a Chrono Trigger fanstory I made for kicks as a wee lad, one of my original characters, a weilder of Light, is called Cran. He's a very effective samurai and features purple hair, eyes, and gi. When I finally got around to converting this story into written fanfiction, I bombed it horribly, but kept the name Cran as my own as a tribute and personal reminder. Now, I have four characters who go by that name. The origin of my "last name", Rightia, also resides with the CT Cran, in that I always named him Cran Right, Cran Righteous, Cran Ritea, Riteous, it really just depended on my ability to spell at the moment. I don't think I ever nailed the correct spelling before coming online. Anyway, Rightia was presumably the final, definite last name Cran would have. I would later establish his last name to be Rightea as to avoid confusion with myself and RP character. |

My name Origins are pretty simple, Ryu is a nickname I got from my old MTG/Yugioh playing group for my half obession of using Dragon types and usually making a habit of being good with them. Planeswalker mostly came from me embracing all five colors nearly evenly in magic as most planeswalkers do. |

Back when I was heavy into the Godzilla forums, I had a fan-made (ugh, just fucking kill me now...) monster named "Mecha-Varan". Total ghey, but I liked the name MechaV so I just shortened it. |

As I have said before Redheero was originally put on my Gaia character. Gaia was also my first forum I started posting on. My name really is separated into two parts though. 'Red' comes halfly from my obsession with the color red, and halfly from the FF7 character 'Red13' in which I just shortened it to Red. Heero is my big obsession with Gundam Wing, what I consider my first real obsession with anime (even though I watched DBZ and Sailor Moon before it.) So in my Gaian character I wanted to be original and not have any numbers in my name so I just combined the two. It expresses my like of the color red and my love of Heero Yuy-sama, which expresses my intrest in anime. And I thought of my name in like 5 minutes too. All that in 5 fricken minutes. |

Mordain's just a name I came up with years ago. Middle school or such. It wasn't the first online alias I had, but it's the one that stuck for lack of being really stupid like the others. Apparently it's also from some book, but I was completely clueless about this when I came up with it. But it serves my purposes, since a search for 'mordain' on google does not find you much about me, at least not right away. ![]() Nila DelAri is actually a name with more history for me. That was the name of pretty much every single RP character I ever made, from the first elven ranger I wrote but never played in second edition D&D, to the human cleric I played for two and a half years (in a game that started in 2nd edition but ended after 3rd was released), and very nearly every character I've ever made since then, until I started playing with the same people and I had to come up with silly things like Rae Dartmoor, the fire using pison (figure out the source of that name and you get a cookie). I've tried to use various derivations of my real name, and there are plenty of them, but in the end I just don't really *like* my real name... |
