The Story Behind Your Name

[DuhFlyingPenguin]

I like penguins

[WooKzTra]

WooKzTra is my name i got it from friends, its a mix of my last name and wookie

[GeoffFromAccounting]

Ninjaboy00 was one of the many ideas I had when creating my PSN account, I can't even remember what the other ideas I had were but Ninjaboy was one of them and that was taken... and I can't remember why I put 00 at the end of it, no one will ever know!

[CheeseHasLeafs]

I needed a name that no one else was idiotic enough to pick. Especially for games where basically every name has been taken. And this one came to me in a sort of daydream. The only issue is when it is too long, as sometimes there is a 12 character limit or so. So then I go by any variation of CheeseNoLeafs, CheeseNoLeaf, CheesNoLif etc. ('no' is shorter than 'has', but I enjoy being positive. So I use 'has' when I can.)

[CyklonDX]

I was looking for a nick name that wasn't taken in '90's on IRC, so i thought cyklon ... taken so maybe as 486DX processors lets take CyklonDX so it stuck like that.

[NoeleVeerod]

Assuming I didn't write mine yet...

Stole the name from a weapon in Battlefield Bad Company 2, I liked the game so much I started using it everywhere, sometimes replacing my old nickname. I discovered only some time later that Vintovka is a Russian word meaning "rifle", which also explained why quite a few players from several games thought I was Russian.

 

I choose different nicknames from time to time, and I invented quite a lot of them, although a fair share of them is obviously taken elsewhere.

[Deydreus]

Deydreus, because it's one of my roleplay forum caracter.

 

I just have to choose a name, and this one was one of my favourite so... ^^

[MageMeat]

My first username was Magic Ham (the idea for which has been lost from memory), used in League of Legends. When I migrated to later games such as this, I technically swapped ham and magic, ending up with MageMeat.

[Zakalwe]

The name of the main character from the book Use of Weapons by the late (and great) Ian M Banks. 

[renleech]

My nickname is a triple reference. "ren" comes from my real name. "leech" comes from two things:

 

1- my behavior in p2p programs like bittorrent before i got a DSL connection. with a 56k dial-up no way i could be a seed for files

2- Leech is a Tleilaxu unit in Emperor; Battle for Dune, a RTS game. In this game, Leeches were bio-engineering tanks with a very special attack. They "spit" a parasite at enemy vehicles. The parasite, unless removed, drains the hit points of the host until destruction. When this happens, another leech is born. now imagine this in large scale. A true plague...

[GruntySoldier]

I'm bad at sniping.

[Vras]

I first encountered warframe while watching my friend play it. I saw the boss he was fighting (Vor) say, "I'll kill you, nooblicker69!" I like to put myself in my war frame so I gave him a sort of RP nickname, to make it more fitting when bosses taunted me. Also, it's four letters. That's a +

[XandoCalrissian]

My name is Xan, the rest is self-explanatory.

[VrounBroun]

My name, Vroun Broun is a variance of the name Von Braun, which is the name of a starship in the game System Shock 2. The ship might be named after Wernher von Braun, which I kinda hope not, but oh well.

[UmbraVenator]

1.Couldn't think of a name

2. Know a little Latin (my choice of a secondary language)

3. Diablo 3 have a hunter, named him Venator (yes, it means hunter)

4. Umbra = Shadow

2+2 = 5 - 1 = 1.5*2+1 = chair

[PillsburyDoughBoy]

So, I kinda sat here at the beginning of the Warframe beta sign up, and it asked me for my username. The few I usually use were taken, so I had to come up with something else. I thought to my self "Surely nobody would take this name!" and I entered it in the box. I hit enter thinking it the user name would already be taken, and sure enough, it wasn't. Whether this is a grand achievement, or horrible mistake, I have yet to figure out. All I know is my friends make fun of me every time lol.

 

PillsburyDoughBoy has been downed.

PillsburyDoughBoy has died.

[YouHaveShamedYoFamory]

My name is better than all of yours

[Morgax]

My name is better than all of yours

IMPOSSIBRU!

[Ragnarlee_Prime]

I actually misspelled my name on this when I first started so now I am stuck with "Schanbel" instead of Schnabel. Doktor Schnabel Von Rom, is a german name given too a famous plague doctor that hailed from Rome. He was "popular for many reasons and no hard evidence that I know of has been found why he was. There was some stories of his cruelty and torture of the patients of his, in his efforts too find the cure, and stories of his faith and intelligence being able too heal anyone, so afflicted with the black death. I chose this name due too my love of doctors, and of their work. I find that his story is appealing too my due too the mystery of his history and the cruelty he put his patients through too find the cure for this horrible contagion. He killed few too save the many. That's the way I see it, and I respect him for it rather than condemn him.

[Ragnarlee_Prime]

In SHin Megami Tensei games, I usually pick Guyman Brodude as the name for the main character, to feel extra manly. It's the manliest name of all names. I wish I could be that manly one day, so I use that name in games sometimes.

I LOVE IT!!!

[BadPoetry]

Did I reply to this?

 

Because if you get killed by me, you get killed by Bad Poetry. Execution, Vogon style.

[HatchetTrain]

This is too funny not to post on. My name is derived from from an old fps clan I was in called the drunk brigade. Each person was named after a beverage, my play style being liken to a train wreck, I chose to be named Boxcar or caboose, I however would add faygo to my boxcar beverage and a fellow member named it a HatchetTrain, following something along the lines of the ICP fandom, I just went with it, been with this name a good 7 years now.

[OneFlyness]

Most of my friends make fun of the fact that I speak proper English, think the Queen. 

So I decided to call myself HisRoyalFlyness as a play on the term His Royal Highness (used commonly to refer to the Queen (Her) or King (His) of England) & the flyness came from the fact that I'm terrified of flying.

But since this name if often too long for most usernames, I often use OneFlyness as I should be the only one with that name.

[baobab]

I love going on safari in Southern Africa and i saw my first leopard in a Baobab tree
