The inspiration for your profile name

edited April 2016 in General Chat

I have seen a lot of interesting names on this forum, and questioned why they were chosen. Please write the origins of your Telltale name in the comments. Thanks!

Mine, @AChicken, comes from the fact that I am terrified of horror games. The first person perspective, atmospheric environments, horrifying monsters, and usually the unexpected jumpscares put me off too. I get scared very easily... So, therefore I'm just a really big Chicken.

    I wanted dojo when I was 10 or so but Club Penguin recommended me dojo32161 since dojo was taken and I thought it sounded cool.

  • InGen - Jurassic Park, company that made it/

    Nate - Nate the character

    Kenny - Kenny the character

    I kind of wish I could change it around, I'd definitely keep InGen and the underscores, but maybe change Nate and Kenny to something else. Maybe InGen_Negan_Rhys or InGen_Bigby_something else.

  • "How do you think? By being big and being blind."

    Big Max and Blind Max were two of my nicknames in school.

  • Lingvo dictionary. However, when I came up with it back in the day (which was February 2007, holy shit was that long ago), I haven't thought of it, so it's likely unconnected, but I like to think it is.

    Something else doesn't quite have the ring to it though.

  • Lingvo? That's 'language' in Esperanto.

    Was it an Esperanto dictionary?

  • No, just a general one.

    Still no connection, though.

  • I called her Clemenem once as a play off nickname combination of Clem and Eminem. Thought I'd just roll with it

  • I have Asperger's syndrome. So I figured I'd call myself TheAutisticGamer.

  • Leatherwolf is the name of a rock band I like and 1989 was the year they were most famous. And also because I like Bigby Wolf from TWAU.

  • Sam & Max Season 1 has a "Warp Drive" setting. No one has ever figured out exactly what it does. Much like myself.

  • I guess it's because my favorite animal is wolf.

    And in a game, I wanted to name my character 'Wolf' but since that name was taken, I just put(ted) the 'enus' in the end. And I thought it sounded cool. :P

    Yet, sometimes, people pronounce my name as Wolfanus -_- cough @Eryka cough (Don't take it seriously, though, Eryka, it's just a harmless joke)

    When I was in 8th Grade, my Homeroom teacher had us play a game to help her remember our names. We had to name the other kids in front of us, and then come up with a name of our own. It was a describing word and then our actual name, but the describing word had to start with the same letter as your name (Ex. Joyous Jacob, Silly Sarah, Kind Kayne, etc.) When it got to me, I had a fantastic idea. I asked the teacher if I could use one of my middle names, and she said yes.

    Beautiful Banjo was born that day.

  • By being big and being blind, don't say that shit in front of people, it's embarrassing.

  • I love Metallica, they're my favorite band, and because they do fucking rule.

  • I honestly don't know, I've been Poogers555 forever.

    I mean if anyone wants to try to discover what Poogers means and why there is 555 of them...

  • Man I don't know, because two i's is cool?

    As I look back, I couldn't really think of a good one on the spot when I was making mine so I just named myself after the video game series and the song called Dead or Alive
