[QUOTE=paul simon;48765948]Relevant: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WgYmrJzXVE[/media][/QUOTE] I miss tropsical guy. :( My username was just me being an unoriginal little shit, I can't make good sounding usernames that aren't already taken.
it's my name
I used to be into south park when i was a kid, and the username cartman300 stuck with me. But some time ago i came up with Cartmanium. It's a fictional element. [img]http://i.imgur.com/BiRbN9V.png[/img] [editline]26th September 2015[/editline] I use both. [editline]26th September 2015[/editline] And then i combined it with Carp and got Carpmanium.
I was a sophomore in high school and my computer class required an email address and I thought hippos and wombats were hilarious.
radio was taken
Eva- as in the series of "robots" from Neon Genesis Evangelion and 1337 because 2006 and poor life choices.
Long story. After getting bored of using a different name on every site and doing really stupid shit with my previous edgelord name that I had used for the first time in Minecraft, I decided to wipe my past and make some sort of a good name that I could use everywhere. From the beginning I decided that it shouldn't include any numbers or CoD-tier _{XxX}_ decorations and it should be in English. I tested a fuckton of names and eventually I thought that something with alliteration could work. I tried multiple names including "MagicalMongoose" and "SuolaSilakka" ("Salted herring" in Finnish) but after failing to translate it to English without losing the alliteration I dropped it. Next was "AwesomeAvocado" which I kept for a few months. When winter came and I saw people changing their Steam names to something festive, I temporarily changed it to FrostyAvocado (you can see where this is going). But after spring came I had started liking my current name/avatar combo more than AwesomeAvocado and kept it. FrostyAvocado was eventually shortened to Frosty_Avo because I wanted to remove the avocado from my profile picture and that forced me to also alter my name. Some time later I made one more change by removing the underscore (changing it to FrostyAvo), which sadly happened after I had already made my Facepunch account.
Mine comes from Team Fortress. When I first got hold of the Widowmaker shotgun I fell in love with it.
Ethan Asia sounds like euthanasia and I was interested in the topic of mad doctors at the time.
It's my surname. Although on most other things I go with Grumpo Marx, a bastardization of Groucho Marx.
I used to play Black Ops Zombies with my friends back in the day. My favorite character was Nikolai Belinski.
was a pretty big fan of rocko's modern life as a kid, used the name a lot along with trockolos, which was a combination of rocko and something else. :v:
It was something my friends suggested to me years ago when I was going to buy tf2 and get a steam username, being some cruel mangling of my real name Timo. Turns out it's part of Tinbe-rochin weapon combination (Tinbe being a shield and Rochin being a spear) in Okinawan weapon systems :v:
Played a lot of TF2 back then as either a Demoman or Spy.
gee i dont know
[QUOTE=Hatley;48766433]It's my surname. Although on most other things I go with Grumpo Marx, a bastardization of Groucho Marx.[/QUOTE] Hatley is a great surname. I'd go to a dinner party hosted by a Hatley.
My brother used to use it as his laptop password, I liked the sound of it, now I use it pretty much everywhere. My old username was so generic you can google it and not get any results related to me for about 20 pages.
a portmanteau of the Zone from stalker and transylvania
Part of my last name.
I wanted something with Kat in the name Catatonic was a cool word Simple as that The 717 came from my old xbox live username, Pyromaniac717. I picked 717 because 117, 711, 17, and 71 were all taken.
I thought chameleon was spelled like that
I found a hat that was made by the J Hat company, and my first name begins with a J and my last name is Hatfield. Sounded fine to me.
Well I was kind of a weeb back in the day and my name starts with L so my username is short for "my name is L" in Japanese
I'm Joe. I like SEGA. :suicide:
"phoenix" and "saphire" mixed together
My username had a story behind a another username. The first username I had was Sudo451. (Probably because I started on a french programming community. And I liked to use Linux. And the 451 come from a formula.) It took a long time before this well known Sudo451 become Gedo789 (come too probably from the formula of 451). If I remembered correctly, the formula was somethings likes: ghilo(xxxx)45113789520 The formula comes from a lots of what happened in my past. It was a reference/mix from a story/game I invented. I chose Gedo789 as my permanent username when I started to play Minecraft (classic) a long times after. Why? Because I have to guess a unique username that can only identify to myself and nobody else and the most important I had in mind in the past was that the Gedo789 username is reserved for the future of myself. (By reserved, it means this username should only be used when I will grow enough to use this username and drop Sudo451 as my identity forever) [sp]I really have difficulty to remember my own story of my username by the ways. I'm not really sure at 100% if I'm accurate on my past.[/sp]
My real name is Mikael. A common nickname to that is "Miksu". Some of my friends used to call me "Maksu" as an inside joke (it means both liver and pay in Finnish). Later when I made an account in here I decided to replace the s with a z because they sound a lot alike and they make you cool :-v
Im like 1-5% Native American and was having one of those moments where i was like "Im practically a Native American" so i was hopped on that with hunting and here we are. Now i wish i could change my name still haha
I like the Space Marines from W40K, I like the Diggles from Dungeons of Dredmor, so I decided to mix the two together. Not the most creative username ever, but hey, it does its job. The only problem is that in some multiplayer games people tend to put the word ''dick'' in place of Diggle from time to time.
I was trying to think of a new username for steam and facepunch and at the time I really like TF2 and thought the medic was fun to play so i just went fuck it and put my name as Dr._Medic
