I was 8 years old. That's the story. You could sit me in a chair and torture me, I'll know nothing more.
My name is Zoey and I'm not married.
Somebody I knew was on this site and implored me not to join, but I did anyway. I used this pseudonym instead of my usual one just to see how long before they realized it was me. Took 'em a few months.
My name is an incorrectly spelled version of illusioneer, because I really was fascinated by magic and how it works and I was also very bad at spelling and sounded everything out so I got illusineer. I thought there was an o in it when I heard it from somewhere but I thought why was there an o who needs the o. I don't so it's illusineer
I saw this guy in the binding of isaac and thought to myself how happy that head is. [IMG]http://puu.sh/kpiI2/ad2099d2dd.jpg[/IMG]
i'm ethnic chinese, and I wanted a stupid pun so cold as r/ice
My name's a ripoff from some guy from an old sonic rom hacking forum, all I did was swap the letters around
i got it from a lolcat compilation book's fake author [IMG]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61GqH2aRVZL.jpg[/IMG]
Spinoff of my edgy name, IlluminaBreaks. [sp]For those who don't know, an Illumina is a sword from ROBLOX.[/sp]
When I was in middle school I adored Norman Rockwell. I wanted to paint just like him, but I wanted to paint fifth grade spirited edgy issues. So I came up with a pseudonym: Normandy Rock-em-up. Sometimes I just use Normandy as a username, in fond memory of that stage of my life. :v

You know that old saying about monkeys and typewrites? My username came from a similar process of mashing a handful of random letters and trimming the excess fat. I also went as Cinnamon Bunny on Skype for a ridiculously short time. I can't remember why I added the cinnamon, but the bunny was due to my Chinese zodiac thinger.
well, I was obsessed with Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2, the hunter and spy were my favorite characters/class(?) and thus, Hunter-Spy was born [editline]27th September 2015[/editline] not much of a story, but oh well.
I was playing L4D and was simultaneously thinking of Harry Houdini and zombies, so the name Zombini was born. It's funny actually, I remember almost exactly what I was doing at the time. It struck me while I had just started No Mercy as Bill and I was about to enter into the first staircase.
When I was younger I watched a lot of Happy Tree Friends. So my user name happened. [IMG]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141020204620/happytreefriends/images/7/7d/Good-Flippy.png[/IMG]
It was my user name for a forum of a realism server in DOD:S. Though I prefer to use Happymartin as my user. As for the title, I've been good with Deviant Art Appreciation Station thread for a few years.
I had a terrible online name before (you can still see it on some of the stuff below my avatar) and I wanted to get away from it. So, I picked Infab.
A friend got me into Neopets back in 2005. I was really into Starcraft at the time, and I wanted to name my account Tassadar. Name taken, of course, and all the possible choices had six numbers, so I picked a random one. I've grown fond of the name and the numbers, though nowadays I just shorten it to T553412 or T-553412. As a bonus, I can shorten this name to T-55, like the tank. So if you see a T553412 somewhere on the net, it's probably me. Make sure to say hi, please. (As for my pets in Neopets, I [I]also[/I] named them after Starcraft characters. The four of them, though I gave one for adoption after about two years. Then I got lucky and got a limited edition pet, which I named after Lupin, from Harry Potter. I also put that one for adoption, and nowadays my account only has three pets)
I liked Koalas when I was a kid and god bless straya
Stole some dude's name which was sola angel and added nova cos it sounded cool to my 12 year old brain
Steak Styles happens to be the default player name for the game "50k Racewalk", which is part of the whole Homestar Runner thing. I tend to use lesser known/obscure Homestar Runner references/characters for online names and Steak Styles, only without a space, was the first thing that came to mind when I made my id for here.
We didn't know much about western cultures when we were small and assumed "Brown" is a common American last name, and used it.
We doing this again? I was a regular on mapletip.com, a maplestory community forum thing. There was a guy named EcksDee on there and I totes fucking plagiarize his name for everything I registered on ever since I got banned from there lol.
I thought of this name out of random when I was just a lurker :poot: My actual screen name, Diesel, comes from me making fun of a certain [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/218620/"]game engine[/URL] which gets raped into 20 FPS when using a Deagle retexture. Before that, my screen name was Skruddy, which came from my dad's PSN account that I took over and got stuck with when I signed up to Steam.
There's a deep story to mine... I played lots of Source engine games, namely Garry's Mod of course, and the year was 2008. ...and I was 11.
When I was 12, my brother suggested that I should get a PS3 so we could play CoD4 together. When I was signing up for PSN he told me I should use this name, and it stuck ever since. It's funny because nobody ever seems to know how to pronounce it.
Ďuri is short for Juraj the same way Dick is short for Richard. Ďuri isn't cool and nobody knows how to pronounce it, hence Drury.
im not very bright
I had a friend once who's name was Kaepton Josh. I thought the AE was fucking dumb, but Kapton sounded kinda neat-o. My name is Jack. I put them together and voila.
This is shortened from "Kartoffel Granate", which is something I came up with in high school with a couple of buddies of mine. It basically means "potato grenade", if I'm not mistaken. We would sometimes yell out "Die Kartoffel Granate" for some reason. I then simply shortened it to "Kartoffel" because that was my favorite word in German. :v:
