Origins of your username?

Big Boss · September 16, 2015, 08:52:26 PM

When Bungie.net got the overhaul into... whatever, everyone got to change their username, so I changed from Kai Hiwatari to Big Boss because I could. And from there is all a long and woeful tragic tale.

What about you?

alphy · September 16, 2015, 08:53:55 PM

alphy? someone used it casually and it caught on

sounds much more innocent that alpha zero lol

I just shortened 'A Stolen Fruit' down to 'Fruit', can't fully remember how A Stolen Fruit came about though

Ushan · September 16, 2015, 08:56:08 PM

Character from a book I loved when I first made my account on B.net, almost six years ago.

I remember you and a lot of people from the Coup Group. I didn't really do anything noteworthy apart from be a massive Slowpoke and spend all my time in the tinychat

i am karjala takaisin · September 16, 2015, 09:02:15 PM

my xbox live gamertag is spirit of amber, which is the result of my 11 year old self attempting to sound cool

when i joined b.net for the second time, i decided that "ember" was slightly more masculine than amber and so i became spirit of ember

then when b.next rolled around i ditched the "spirit of" prefix all together cuz it was gay af

so then i became just ember

I went over a friend's house to play good old Halo 2. His character name was Eggroll and I just decided to fit the theme. Since that was my go to Halo username and Bungie was the first forum I got active on it stuck.

Cheat · September 16, 2015, 09:14:27 PM

I was obsessed with cheat codes and gameshark/action replay stuff in the GBA Pokemon days and even had a code request thread on NSider. From that point it went from SS4_Cheatlancer to Cheatlancer to finally just Cheat.

Ásgeirr · September 16, 2015, 09:16:16 PM

uhhh well 'Ossku' is my nickname with a extra S. 'Oss' and whatnot are other nicknames.

Current one is just because

Elai · September 16, 2015, 09:22:41 PM

I wanted to make my name "Lord of Admirals" but that was taken, so I went with "Prehistoric Human" as my ID and "Prehistoric" as my username.

After that, I used "Kennedy" after my "girlfriend".

After that, I was "Big Boss" on this website, for obvious reasons. I then changed to "Snake" a few months later when I invited you (the real Big Boss) to our forum.

Then, I was a variation of Snake. From prefixes like "Punished", "Venom", "Naked", "Solid", "Liquid", and "Based". Because I felt like it, really.

Then I was "Prehisnake", to fuse my two names together.

I then switched back to "Snake".

And then I started calling myself Saladin because I wanted to change my name to Big Boss, but that was taken. Plus it was pretty cool.

Then Gatsby posted a bunch of spoilers in my thread so I became "Sadladin" to emphasise my mindset at the time.

After the game released, I realised I didn't like Big Boss all that much anymore, so I switched back to "Snake" (which can refer to Solid, Solidus, Liquid, Naked, and Venom, all at once).

And a few hours ago I switched my name to "Eliab" because he was the older brother of King David in the Bible. David is Solid Snake's real name, and my avatar is Liquid Snake.

Spoiler

Also, "Eli" is a short form of "Eliab", and Liquid's real name is Eli.

XSEAN · September 16, 2015, 09:26:08 PM

Sean my name in real life

X I don't know why?

Was my username since elementary school and habbo hotel

Verbatim · September 16, 2015, 09:28:41 PM

Verbatim - i learned the word from a kongregate captcha, and i liked the sound of it so much, i made it my username

it reflects my love for the english language, it starts with my favorite letter, it's unique, and it abbreviates nicely into "verb"
perfect username

Fuddy-duddy - blame tru

Every name since then has just me trying to make my name more cancerous, well until now, because awoo is my waffle.

I lived and breathed DBZ back in my middle school days. My first shitty Geocities website was called DBZ World (even though SS4 is a GT thing, yeah I know).
