The Story Behind Your Name

[NetSlayer]

I was called this because I was bad at tennis. It's stuck since high school.

 

The full reason is in my profile.

[bejuizb]

My name comes from quite a complicated train of thought. Because of this, there in only 1 person in the world in internet history called bejuizb.

[BWS-1]

It's an alias I used for my character in Phantasy Star Online, back on Dreamcast, in winter 2000. Since I felt a PSO vibe with Warframe, I figured I'd ''recreate my HUcast here'', even if it turns out that just ONE Warframe reminds me of him (Excalibur). Still, many elements (the sentinels remind me of mags, the new Jungle tileset reminds me of Forest 1) contribute to make me feel like this Warframe game could be a distant cousin ''and some form of true spiritual sequel'' to the original PSO, well, with a different twist, gameplay-wise.

But YEAH, the name itself comes from the sword I got for my 17th birthday, the BWS-1 katana manufactured by the Ontario Knife company. BWS doesn't stand for Black Water Society (as some thought, during my PSO days) but for Black Wind Sword. the '-1' is just to refer to the model. The BWS-2 is a wakizashi.

I figured I was just like that sword: blunt and ''mass-produced'' like any other (swords or human beings); nothing special but functional; far from traditional and remarkable, but sturdy and practical; Dark on the outside, silver on the inside... yeah I know I put too much melodramatic thoughts into this back then...

[TheImmortalHotDog]

Originated from the Youtuber ''ImmortalHD'' Someone left a comment saying the ''HD'' meant HotDog. There's the story of my name.

[Jadoth]

My main character on World of Warcraft is named Jadoth.

 

A WoW buddy got me interested in this game, and I guess I just carried the name over.

[Katakuna]

This image with my first name:

 

 

Katakuna is Japanese for stubborn.  I'm stubborn.  I like Japan.  It fits.

[VKhaun]

When I was younger I liked the name Khan, out of Ghengis Khan, but Khan was always taken in games, didn't really even mean a name (I think it means 'king'?) and it always lead to Star Trek references.

 

VKhaun was the result of some strangely rationalized spoofing and letter adding for naming alts on the MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot, but it looked good and it's funny to hear people on the mic try to pronounce it, so I just started using that name all the time.

[Freelancer27]

I picked my name since... I used on every game I played.

 

But if Freelancer27 is used, I picked Protonus and vice-versa. Since there are just some people that are too unoriginal to make their own names. :l

Hey at least your's isn't Rukatakalumoshi.

[Sixty5]

My name is sixty five. Sixty5 is nice and short and easy to say, unlike my last alias which was pretty unpronouncable.

Buy yeah, there is a thought process behind it, but my name is Sixty5

[tonedragon]

Because I want people to think I'm a scaly, even though I'm not.

[Revel72]

I love revel I am always on the move. I always think. I always act. I pretty much always breath. I always outrun. I always outsmart. I always prepare for the worst. I always stay vigilant. I always know the enemy. I always know my ally. I am always a bit everything.

 

I love messing around and have fun but then time requires I go serious. Gaz: "oh you can't be serious" I am @(*()$ SERIOUS! *as loads a grenade launcher on Gaz's face. Damn. 72 comes from rotation amount what is 720 actually but I always spread lead like a man on rampage and revel.

[Ghost333]

I chose my name because I liked the Ghost units out of Starcraft. 333 is just a random designation I used as a character name.

[__Kanade__]

Isn't it obvious?

[raybjorn]

my parents gave me my name

[NoPainNoSwol]

Because I didn't think I would like this game to the point where I had to create a good name for myself.

 

I was wrong. But I don't regret the name I made.

[FatViking]

Because I am overweight and live in a country that once had quite the large Viking population. Also, It was a nickname I was given when I played Mass Effect 3 on the Xbox with several friends.

[Rubbix]

Tritium, Got it from the periodic table and I found it was interesting watching the Mindcrack guys (Nebris) play through Feed the Beast (Mindcraft modpack). If thats taken, I usually use Rubbix since I was fascinated by Rubik Cubes for a little while. I use RubbixCube as my youtube. Then as my final resort, if all those names are taken. I use UnratedTv, I had this name since InfDev of Minecraft. Stuck with it ever since (Still use it for Minecraft), I also use it for Origin, Steam.

 

That basically sums it all up. Except the other 7 Usernames I had back in Minecraft Classic.

[zubai]

I picked mine since its short and just short one letter from my real name.

[Warriorrogue]

I picked mine since its short and just short one letter from my real name.

You're a zubat?

 

Anyway, from a game where you could have multiple classes. Guess mine.

[meIody-]

Morte Tacere means 'silent death' in latin, the name a friend of mine chose for a clan of mine. The friend quit a few months later, so I chose this UN in honor of that particular friend.

[FrothingLoins]

"Your stupid mother and her stupid Frothing Loins!"

 

"If you EVER mention my mother's loins or their frothiness again...I don't know what I'll do but it will be bad."

[Moe372]

When I was a kid I used to have 'races' with my parents, with them doing chores and me doing mainly math. Hence the name Mathracer.
