Where did you get your name?

[Tfp BreakDown]

The story behind my names:
BioPlayerX60: I just added the first few words I thought up at the time to the default "player" tag (used to be my main tag)
Tfp BreakDown: I thought up of this name when I saw Transformers Prime's incarnation of BreakDown and I thought he was cool. I then started using this name and it soon became my main name.
Lil' Ol' Glaceon: I had (still have) a bit of an obsession with Glaceon, so when I saw Gummy's Glaceon skin I thought up of this name (For some reason I imagine talking with a southern accent with this name.)
Caboose: This one is recent. I recently started re-watching Red vs Blue again. And soon I started quoting some characters from the show (including Caboose) So whenever I feel like being a derp I use this name.

[Russel]

Yaaaay.

Ok, so I was 13...and I was making stop motion animation with Legos. My you tube name was Legofan20, which to this day remains my name on several websites. [And by several, I mean two.] I was getting tired of the "fan20" part of my name and it just felt wrong. So I changed my name in 8BDM to the chromatic name you may or may not have seen and I asked Mike to truncate the last five characters of my name on here about 2-3 weeks after I joined.

There. Done. Now I wonder how many people will actually read this.

[Turbodude]

Well, back in the day, I used to be one of the many IAM youtube users, and I was IMMATURBOMAN. I was good friends with some other IAMs and I had my own XAT that, believe it or not, was actually kinda popular back then. [/ego]
That and on top of Turboman being the best my favorite RM in MM7 have sealed the name for me.

[Jatea]

Ok so I've had like 3 names over the years (one was dropped but it still exists and people still refer to me by the second name)

w00t1
It was 2007 and I was fairly new to the Internet, I guess. I found that weird Roblox thing that nobody likes today (except for maybe Travis B. Sword and his pals), and when I signed up I just threw in the painfully obvious phrase and appended a 1 to the end because websites hate exclamation points.

That Guy Over There
Yeah, I don't remember how I got this, but I adopted it during the pre-8BDM age, where I discovered Skulltag near the end of v0.98c. Probably because I stole Chuggaa's Creative Thinker Award still didn't know what the heck a creativity was.
Then people started shortening it down to TGOT (because thatguy74 Cap'n Barley existed) and then Ken spelled it phonetically as 'Teegott' because he was that kind of guy (Kackebango called me the God of all T's this one time) and then there's all this other shit about how people bastardize my name: teegoat, teegawt, teegot, etc [I probably forgot the rest]

A big teddy bear
This is the only name that actually has a story behind it.
So there was this one time where I was in the middle school play (Guys & Dolls Jr.) and I was Big Jule. I had a green suit, gold tie, plastic snub-nosed revolver, you know, the works.
So we were having a dress rehearsal for some scenes (The part where Sky Masterson knocks out Big Jule, if I recall) and I was practicing how to fall while Sky was practicing how to throw a fake punch.
During a short break, someone went up to me (we were still on the stage just because) and said that I should stop looking like a big teddy bear.
I don't get it either.

[*Alice]

So I first played this as "Alice the Valkyrie"(intially dark red (cr), later light blue (cv)). I don't really know where the Alice part comes from. "the Valkyrie" was because I loved playing Nethack back then and my most used classes in that game were Valkyries and Rangers. (maybe Alice the Hunter/Ranger/Archer could have been a good name).

Later on: "Alice the Ice Fairy"(always cv). This was because of multiple reasons:
- Fairies are cute
- Cirno from Touhou is a nice character
- I often played DCSS (another game like Nethack) as a Spriggan Enchanter which is basically a fairy-like thing with different forms of magic, including a nice amount of ice spells.

And now it is just "*Alice"(ca for the *, cv for the rest) . That is supposed to be a bit of a "Digital - A Love Story" reference and having my name always as one of the first in the user list is pretty handy.
And I like those litte star things.

I had some rather short-lived names in the meantime, too, but I barely remember any of them.

[Red]

at first I was Lag Man
because y'know, I lagged a lot

then I was Red
because of that one Invader Zim character

and now I'm Red Eyes
because...

Lunatic Red Eyes wouldn't fit so I just went with Red Eyes

OTHER NAMES WOOP

(click to show/hide)

Fixa Halvljuset: A song by a band that I really like, it means fix the headlights, i think.
Yrsel Sixaokai: Yrsel is a swedish word (i forgot what it meant lol), and Sixaokai comes from the number 606.
Dentaku: another song, different band, it means "Calculator".
Voyage1970: You know, that one touhou song that plays at kaguya's last spell.

[SaviorSword]

I can't believe that I never replied to this topic.
My IGN is two parted. The "Sword" part of my name is from an old IGN that I used pretty much everywhere else. My IGN is "SwordM13X24" used in many big games. When I first came over to MM8BDM, I still used that name for a short bit, but it looked very ugly.
Since the number of folks around is hardly comparable to big MMORPGs, I decided to change my IGN. The "Savior" part came up when I decided to revamp my name for MM8BDM. I picked the word "Savior" for 2 reasons. First reason was from a Starcraft professional thin' (no surprise). Savior (spelled as sAviOr often though) is a professional Zerg player's IGN. Usually I don't quite care about Zerg players, except Savior became the first Zerg player that I liked to watch (His games are amazin'). Second reason is that I just like how the word sounds.

I suppose I can dig this up for folks to see and explain other parts that I haven't back then. "M13X24" is a code that I use everywhere. What does it mean? It's not important. I used to use my actual name everywhere, but I don't think that was a smart idea so I did take bits and pieces of it to frankenstein the code that's part of my name.

[KuruKuruKuru-Kun]

Came up with mine on the spot.

[BiscuitSlash]

I don't know how I thought of my current alternate name "BiscuitSlash". I can only think of it being random luck and I am happy about randomly thinking of it. If I can think of anything that would have inspired it it's probably because I love biscuits and things like Slash Claw is pretty cool I guess. The latter thing seems less likely though.

Later on when I played X5 there was Grizzly Slash. Just by coincidence we both have similar names.

[Sora]

Back when I first joined CS, Kingdom Hearts was my favorite game series (still is), and due to my lack of creativity I just absconded with the main character's name and used it for pretty much everything.

Now that I'm a tad more mature and creative, I kinda wished I had chosen a more original name, but since Sora described me so well and it stuck with everyone I met, I've just decided to leave it.

[Galactan]

A long time ago, I wanted to use the name Galaxian for something.  I toyed around with variations that did not involve numbers until this one popped up.

Also, I was Number Man on MM8BDM for a while because NumberMan.EXE is the best Navi and you know it.

[Proto Man]

Well my name comes from me favorite MegaMan character, ProtoMan.  But, since 8BDM was a MegaMan based game, I thought i would be fitting.  Then I just slapped on a black and blue color scheme on it that coincidentally matched DarkAura's old color scheme.  Because I thought black and blue looked cool together, even one of my binds used to be "I'm gonna beat you black and blue!"  with the words black and blue in their respective colors.  As a reference to the old discipline saying and my color scheme.

[LSDLucifer]

Well my primary name i made because i was listening to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and I have dial-up witch is as slow as the devil.
I use Krillan because i get pwned alot, and Senor7up was a combination of two other user names.

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

My daddy gave me this name.

[Ceridran]

My daddy gave me this name.

You just won the thread.
