What's the origin of your FFR username?

[Hakulyte]

Horse supplements for exercise and low electro"lyte".

<insert ads about Grandtotal and Horse Power>

I got tired of "your username is already taken" and came up with this.

[Izzy]

Nope, seems like that thing was called Lizzie anyway. I have played the game though. Most people think the name came from digimon, but I've never seen digimon before.


The beanie baby Lizzy claimed it was a female so I just assumed Izzy was a boy's name and really liked it so I started using it for everything back in elementary school. Some of my friends used that as a nickname for me so I've stuck with it ever since.

Edit: Also the username IzzyData that I typically use whenever Izzy is not available is from my favorite Star Trek character. Also it is just a nice tech word.

I will forever know you as silver_007

[DN_Catastrophic]

DN (Death Nation) was an old clan. Thought catastrophic sounded like something that went along with the death of a nation, so I rolled with it!

[CocoaPuff3100]

Just finished reading this thread, love all the responses. Seems like a lot of people don't really like their usernames much anymore even when they seem really cool to me. There's honestly not a name in this thread that I didn't like somewhat.

My username's from liking pizzza and 69 the sex move. Oh wait, wrong consciousness. In 2009 I was bad on kongregate and I got banned a lot so I kept making random usernames. CocoaPuff310 was one of them. Sadly, it was the one that didn't get banned, so now I have it everywhere...

So I had CocoaPuff310 here and made a new account after some months and added the second zero. But I have at least half a dozen names that I use regularly, depending on the site.

[rtech]

Nothing too special here.

I have always been interested in computer science and technology in general, so one day when my friends showed me ffr and i had to create a nickname, i wanted it to include word tech and i just randomly thought adding my first name second last letter to it, and result was rtech.

[xVaLoRx]

i dont use this shitty nickname anywhere else

other places i go by either lockjaw or getsquirrely, both being song titles from xanopticon and terminal11 respectively

[Evascythe]

evascythe

[Snapps]

genius

I have been craving for this info for years.

I always fancied short and clear usernames which start with a capital letter. I have a lot of nicknames of my real name and Hese is the shortest one of these. I just wanted to anglify it and make it easy to remember and look cooler

I was 16, that's why I still suck

[purity_angel]

Well I started with the name ddrchampionaj
Then I met someone named Kane he was part of the Riot Breaker Clan so I joined them they seemed pretty cool and changed my name to RB_Championaj.
After RB got closed because Kane was dealing with some stuff I found another friend named Allie. We use to skype each other and she loved kittens. So she made a kitten clan, I believe I was purity_kitten. And then after the kitten clan stopped being active I like the purity in my name so I just changed my name to purity_angel because I always saw myself as a one winged angel like Sephiroth.

[darkedge22]

I choose Darkedge22 well because... I thought it well a cool name and I wanted something different. This is probably the only place that I go by the username of "Darkedge22". The Dark part came from an anime "Darker than Black" The edge I though of from homestuck from a character named Dirk and his unbreakable Katana and the 22 was from my email "matthewvargas11@yahoo.com" I just multiplied the 11 by 2. Everywhere else I go by the name of "mattBQ" or "mattBQ_234". The "Matt" stands for well... My first named shortened, BQ stands for my brothers last name which is "Berto quirindongo", and the 234 stands for the place I used to live in Brooklyn which was 23rd street and 4th avenue.

[Nullifidian]

My first ever nickname for videogames was TKO cause 3 digit nameslots for old games. My first name is Tristan and my last name starts with Ko. My second username that I used for online games (and first account on here) was Novistador which originated from Resident Evil 4. They had really cool insect enemies called Novistador that were invisible until they attacked you.
Then came _.Spitfire._ which was really just a lame name idk why I picked that. It had something to do with the airplanes but in hindsight it was such a generic name.

Now my username is Nullifidian. After searching for a new username for a while there was a piece I read where I saw the word (and it also reminded me of a song by t+pazolite and Linda called Nullifidian Death). I thought the word sounded cool. Turns out it means skeptic/unbeliever which I thought was quite apt and decided to go with that.

[Razor]

I dropped the 00's from my name after Velocity gave me the original Razor name <3

[#_#]

I always try to get an extremely short, meaningless username when creating an account.

I also learned that having symbols in your username breaks a lot of URLs.

[V-Ormix]

[Kiyah Moonglow]

Kiyah Moonglow is my FFXIV name. Kiyah I created in WoW and it's some Japanese flower. It's pronounced KEYah not Kia. Moonglow was my old Linkshell in FFXI. Hence, Kiyah Moonglow

I decided to make a new character. I couldn't think of anything so I made "cedolad", and I purposely pronounced it with a 'k'. That's where Cedolad originated from.

From some thread in 2007 ha

[Wayward Vagabond]
