How did YOU come up with your username?

edited February 2014 in General Chat

Out of pure curiosity, I was wondering how you all came up with your usernames, but first, I must tell you how I got mine:

I started online gamming when I was nine years old (yeah, nine year olds online...) and I came up with all sorts of cheesy names. My first online game was on Warcraft III, and I still play today. My older brother, however, thought that all my usernames were god-awful. So, in an attempt to have me not embarrass myself, he gave me the name, "Ohyoupokedme" and it kinda stuck. I've been using it ever since.

How about you? How did you get your username?

  • NOOOO don't let this thread die! :,(

  • it's my name, except just take away 1 L. So it's Elias.

  • I came up with my username randomly, almost 7 years ago. That was the time when I first got the Internet access and registered on some forum (I don't even remember anymore what was this forum about). I have used it ever since.

  • Do I really have to explain mine? lol. Well also, my favorite number is 86. I use it in almost all my usernames online.

    I took my name and added the number 46 to it. Overwhelming story I know..

  • Mixed my parents' names together.

    3 or 4 years ago I thought this was a good username... I was wrong.

    I signed up here for a BTTF game promotion, and the only other Telltale game I had played at the time was ToMI. I merged them together, and regret my choice of username to this day!

    Nuff said!

  • Combined my name Kristopher with Clementine.

  • I read some Sergeant Rock comics when I was young, and though "Hey, this guy is a total badass." My father players online poker, and at the end of his name he had the random numbers "114," and I think my dad is a pretty awesome guy, so I just combined the two.

  • I had a cat named Hartwell when I was little, so my username for everything used to Hartwell, until I came across a game where that username, and most variants of it, were taken. So I just came up with a name that sounded like something people would be able to pronounce, and so now I mainly use Zyphon, switching back to Hartwell whenever Zyphon, ZyphonZ, Zyphon44, or Zyphon98 are taken.

  • Everyone thinks Telltale takes forever to release its games, so I thought it was fitting.

  • My favorite quote from ep2.

  • I needed an username for a game and I wanted a name which was funny and then I chose: NaturalPineapple.

  • im dylan van de Grift, therefore my username XD

  • I named it after my favorite food: pasta with butter. But I still managed to misspell it

    My favorite anime is Guilty Crown. If I had to sum it up, I would say it's about the burden of leadership (How being too kind will get you nowhere, but being too harsh will get you killed). It ends with the main character having to live with his guilt over the sins he had committed while being a leader.
    Anyway, the main character is named "Ouma Shu". He is a guilty king. So I named myself GuiltyKingOumaShu. My avatar shows him and his awesome queen. That's all. Thanks for reading.

  • Good read.

  • Funny enough, i have no idea how i came up with my username....I guess i thought i was creative at that time. And no, the username doesn't have anything to do with me.

    Thanks, mate

    Good read.

  • Mine are just my initals and my favourite number and I acidently pressed "R" and didn't noteced so it just stayed like that :P

  • I really wanted Kenny to kill Vernon.

  • I don't remember making my account. I guess I made it to look at peoples profiles.

  • I watched Naruto a lot and I liked Tobi in his humorous mood, and that one phrase just stuck in. And I want to try and make this forum a little more fun. So yeah my name speaks for itself.

  • I used to write fan fictions all the time, except I called them imagines, and they were about all different kinds of people from all different kinds of fandoms so I just got imaginethosefandoms.

  • I came up with it when i experienced a certain scene in the game, If you know what I mean...

  • Well, I'm a guy... so yeah... That's how I made my name...

  • What's Clem's Last name?

    My username is a reference to this movie, which I like very much: Alt text

    It is also my take on the people in the world of TWD. You have "the good", "the bad", and of course, "the dead".

  • I wanted my username to sound cute so I though of "iHeartTWD " :)

  • I played on a GTA role play server where my name was Cesar Morales,and the 38 is my favorite number.

  • When I first played TWD and met Shawn and Chet, I say the three dialogue options for who Lee was, of which two were lies and the other just sounded weird. I remember thinking how weird that would sound like, plus it was the first major dialogue with a new non-primary character. When Shawn told his dad, I was just thinking how distrusting it all was

  • Senhor = Sir in portuguese
    Creeper = Many people refer to creepy in minecraft, no, creeper as in a creepy people

    So a Creepy Sir

  • My username comes from the fact that I've always played video games because of how good their story is. I'd replay ANY game based solely on how good the story is and so I named myself after what I like.

  • Clementine Ass-kicker!!

    What's Clem's Last name?

  • I said to myself, while registering: Hello, world! Clover123 is cool!

    See... Clover is my nickname in real life, and Clover123 is my fanfiction pen name. I wish we could change our names on here, because then I'd be Clover Neverseen. :)
