the 'how did you get your name thread' (everyone invited)

[Freak83]

Hmm this thread was old in the intro section but that's ok, we needed a new one for it.

I chose "Freak" for Diablo II account but it was taken. So I picked a number out of random to go on the end of it, it was 83. It didn't mean anything to me back then but I figured it would eventually seem completely natural and part of my name. And it is, therefore I am Freak83

[PSyCHOtic779]

My nick name was psycho, psychoTIC for im not a psycho but act psychotic, 779.... my favorite number. Thus psychotic779.

[scorpio1690]

I'm the only person to have a name where the numbers actually mean something and aren't random.

scorpio - I was born on November 16th hence making me a scorpio
16 - November 16th...
90 - Born in 1990....

Hence comes scorpio1690.

[dancingmaniac3]

well mines pretty explainable. i dance. i dance maniacally. thus came dancing maniac. 3 is just a number that popped into my head. lol honestly tho, i thought of dancingmaniac off the tip of my head cause i wanted to have a name that fitted into ddr playing ppl and stuff. haha. it was the 1st thing my fingers typed and i said eh why not and put 3. then i realized its true...i am a dancing maniac. and the name has a little ring to it. reminds me of megaman X...DANCING MANIAC...3! (if u play megaman x then u would know that it goes MEGAMAN...X4 (any #)...im getting offtopic. so yeah.

[bballplaya]

[makaveli121212]

[tnyhwk900]

Back when I was all "OMG TONY HAWK IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE", I used this name when I joined another site. tnyhwk for Tony Hawk of course and 900 for his famous feat, the 900. I just got so used to using it, i use it everywhere. No one seems to use it either (except on AIM...grrr.)

[Moogy]

Haha that pic Bean posted is the same one I used in this pic:
Yes, that's me. The pic was taken at my school.

[IAMTHEEVILBEAN]
