  3. KougaMyazawa

    KougaMyazawa Active Member

    My username is pretty wacky. Kouga came from Jeil Koga, a seme character in a BL game, (NOT from Inuyasha!!) I added the 'U' because Kouga seemed more cooler than Koga to me.

    Myazawa came from an OC I made when I was a little girl, Julia Myazawa, an alien tiger princess that was sent to earth to make it a better place by....killing bad people. Of course I know now that something like that would give me the same fate as KIRA, but I keep the OC as a memento of my younger years.

  7. Shibuku_Dogenzaka

    Shibuku_Dogenzaka Well-Known Member

    My username came from a location within the Shibuya district in Tokyo.
    Although i can't remember whether Shibuku was a department store, or a suburb/street etc. Either way the names stuck with me so i use them. Besides i have an adoration for the Japanese area of Shibuya (i have a little japanese in me ^-^)And i want to travel there sometime.
     
  8. First part of mine is obviously my real name, the 'Infinite' part comes from a friend. I have an infinity symbol tattooed on the back of my neck, so my friend called me JessicaInfinite one day and I decided I liked it.
     
  9. Silvertie

    Funny how I got mine. Was playing Disgaea 2, made a prinny. Got random name. Game spat out "Silvertie".
    It grew on me, and here we are, discussing a username.
     
  10. Croassassin

    Croassassin Well-Known Member

    hmm well not that anybody would care but my nickname came around randomly when i was playing Halo 1 on the pc with my friend and u know i was thinking of a good username but couldnt think of one so i kept on playing the game using Luk@ as my nickname that one is my real name which is Luka not Lukat as many people think and because im Croatian i was thinking of something to do with Croatia. As the match progressed i relised i was mainly getting Assassinations on my friend so the idea just came to me CroatianAssassin and i though it was quite catchy but since in most forums or game etc the nickname CroatianAssassin dosnt fit i ended up getting stuck with the name CroAssassin Cro is shorter for Croatian not the bird crow
     
  11. tvrtko

    tvrtko Well-Known Member

    My nick is my nickname in real life. My teacher always mistook my name for the name of another student who was 3 years older. It was kinda weird, but the nick lasts to this day.

  14. RadicalLucas

    RadicalLucas Member

    Mine's simply an hommage to 'Radical Edward' from the Cowboy Bebop anime *points at avatar*. Putting my name (Lucas) instead of Ed's. Before you mention it, yes, I am fully aware that Ed is in fact a girl :'D

  18. MessoMesso

    MessoMesso Well-Known Member

    I chose "MessoMesso" because it sounded catchy, and my other handle I only use in a... specific community (don't kill me!). I only found out later that "Messo" is a real surname, and also the name of some big company that specialises in crystallisation processes.

    Haha... Maybe I should've gone with... If only I had the balls to do it on the Internet!
     
  19. markswan

    markswan Well-Known Member

    Mark is my real first name and Swan is a surname i use when i write poetry because it seems right to me.Not because i'm particularly fond of swans or anything like that...it just seems to make sense
