How did you come up with your user name Cred Forums ?

>look at two random objects around the room and mix them together
>mash random letters and add vowels where necessary

Star Wars character. Not even that obscure but I get away with using it.

Lesser Greek Gods
Gerund Verbs (Crowning, Flying)
Nouns (Wind, BottleNose)
Uncommon Verbs (Coruscate- To shine or flash, Undulate- to move in a wavy fashion)

Simple.

Song titles and lyrics.

>Decemviri Litibus Iudicandis
Sounds cool, too bad about character limits.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typha_×_suwensis

????

I came up with mine by being a creative genius. You should try that, that helps a lot in my experience.

>Yaqush
I like it.

It's a nickname originating from my last name. I love it.

First 2 letters of my first name and last 2 letters of my surname.

I usually go with character names from obscure sci fi or fantasy books. My current one is from abarat.

Me and my friends all got a 360 at the same time. We were a bunch of D&D nerds so we used our names and then ___theStrong ___theSwift etc.

From this character like 14 years ago

>Loch Drunkie
I can dig it

When I first played some MMO in the early 2000s I couldn't think of a name, so I mashed the random button until a name I kinda liked showed up, then I changed one vowel. Stuck with it ever since.

>use the same two retarded usernames and variations on one password for years
>can't stop using them because I'd have to actually keep track of them per site

My two favorite anime/manga characters at the time.

I was the edgiest weeb jesus christ.

>Novemberinte Nashtam
>Novemberinte Nashtam (English: November's Loss) is a 1982 Malayalam romantic drama film written and directed by P. Padmarajan. The film is about a girl's emotional turmoil after a breakup and her ever supportive brother and how they try to get through the difficult period.

It's shit.

I took the name of an old RPG I used to play, then added the fan name of a character from a videogame that I liked.

>Whitecrow Lake

Sound something out of an anime. Might use.

Minor side character from a PS1 SRPG.

Usually isn't taken.

I have several but my typical pattern is to use a word from my native language that's can be pronounced in English if I don't want my name to be easily google'd. If that's not a problem I pick an interesting word that doesn't really work in English but modify it a little in some way so it does, making up an original and easily searchable word in the process.

If all else fails I just pick an anime girl and name myself after her

Whatever's on my mind

it's inconsistent because I don't give a fuck. Even if I later think it's kind of retarded I don't bother changing it.

>Parkinson's UK

I just take names from things I like. Cap'n Beefheart is one of my longest running handles. Also Jack-O is a miracle of the universe.

It's my first and last name on xbox live.
[spoilers]First name is three letters, last name is eight.[/spoilers]

I just tried to think of something that might fit into an RPG in a way where it wouldn't be questioned. (Ex. Zennicrais)

>slam keyboard
>add vowels
Gee, that was hard

I suppose you erp too huh?

No, I draw

My Japanese friend's mom pronounced my name "Eon"

That's it.

>see neat word in game i played
>added a first name for role playing purposes
>grew out of roleplaying
>shortened the name to first letter of first name and whole last name crammed together
>still use 6 years later

i had a handful of usernames before that, mostly just nonsense.

"0yashiro-sama"
It came from my friends who'd seen Higurashi and kept calling me that atfer the way I sneak around during 1v1 in CoD, causing them to be very paranoid and the zero comes from 0verflow which are the people who made the VN School Days which I was playing at the time.

My usual MO is

>find three random words that sound not retarded together
>make an acronym out of them
>use that

If all else fails, default to Josuke Higashikata

I still have a bunch that are mostly just my real name. A few years ago I came up with one proper. When I made my Steam account it asked for a custom URL. I picked some random words from a couple of my favourite games. For some reason I was much later inspired to take the first two letters of each word and put them together as a name.

>Pick a name at random ages ago

I watched inuyasha and the godfather when I was young.

It's always available.

Use a random word generator and pick two words that sound cool together

Winter Catfish
Attention Horse

Lazar Wolf?

"Vidya"+favorite thing
Generic as shit but usually identifiable
Very rarely taken

Lazar Wolf the Butcher, to be specific.

>Bud Boeringer
its time

I sat down and thought about it really hard and ended up smashing together two words

Single player games, I'll use Majora. Unironically a good name. Other games, I just smash two or so syllables together like Ardei

Sounds like mgs boss names

>Controversies surrounding Mortal Kombat

>Jalan Gunung Brinchang

holy shit this is pretty fucking good.

I portmanteau'd the name of the (eponymous) protagonist of a book I read in primary school. Almost a decade later I found out it was also the name of a group (I think) in Naruto.

Three (you)s to whoever can guess it.

Just my vague life philosophy because I'm a giant faggot

Are you docile?

Shit, that's a good one.

>xXxReadingsForNerdsIdRatherSmokeWeedxXx

>Abecarnil

Jako

I wanted something simple, so I looked around and the first thing I saw was the thermostat on the wall.

I took a name of one of the dnd deities, took the last three letters out, and replaced them for another three letters to create such an original name. I'm not very clever.

oh shit
J A C C P O T

Akatsuki?

>xXMathewXx

No. Actually it's not a group just a phrase associated with a certain character. Apologies but I know very little about Naruto and I have little interest in learning.

Ah, it must be Zandatsu

I was into homestuck when i was 16
that was 4 years ago
username changing system fucking when sony

I took the name of a character I liked using in a fighting game and added a word he said a lot.

RyuHadouken98?

Who are these people?

Here's another hint.

Thing I like + Norse mythological reference

Drives tech support absolutely nuts.

doujinshi are good forms of inspiration

Ibn abd al-Malik al-Marrakushi

save me.

>The Lord Touhig
Sounds good

Not even close, champ.

I'm in the same boat, but at least mine's not particularly noticeably tied to Homestuck.

(adjective) (noun)

That one is pretty gay too

what is it?

neither is mine, but that's actually worse than being tied to homestuck, because without context i look like the edgiest motherfucker around

Ralph because it was a default multiplayer name in Halo 1

"a" because I wanted my name at the top of the list.

I just like the craft.

it was just for logging in, because my two brothers and I shared an xbox, and I refused to scroll down.

White Fangu

AK is a very sexy gun, so I used my language's common name for it. People couldn't pronounce it so I shortened that.

When I was younger I used to watch my older brother play FFXI, and there was a mithra named Cussypat.

I've been using that nick ever since.

It's ok, I forgive you.

My current one is Something About Inertia

I like it, but it's typically too long outside of Steam so I'll just use Inertia

I was young, like, 10 years old when i made my go to username. Was a huge fan of Megaman X (still am), and for some reason i like throwing in words like devil or demon into things i name (I was 10). I can justify it now saying it's inspired by the yellow devil, but really its also a username i will never forget.

I wasn't considering a change but fuck, "Texas Night Train" is pretty good.

originally I thought I came up with it on my own but I realized later that I must have seen it before in one of those warhammer rulebooks or something of a friend of mine, it was the name of a unit/creature
that was ages ago and I still use it like that or switch the two parts of the name around

Who else here is aggressively Googling as many of these as possible in an effort to be an edgy fuck and ruin their day?

I have approximately one nick name per game / website / service / forum / whatever

Some of the names are character from fiction I like, jokes, memes, waifus, invented names or references.

I might have an identity problem.

Got it from this based mother fucker right here.

It was an ace of hearts.

used a fantasy name generator for DnD once, I then took the firstname and shortened it for a username and it stuck with me
I use 2hu characters when I play with Cred Forums though

I was 15. I was just banned from gamefaqs for invasion, and I no longer had a LUEable account.

I bitched about it on some AOL chat room, and some guy said he didnt like LUE anymore, and gave me his account to suicide on the board. He expected pics.
I changed the email, changed the password and just stole his account. It's been my identify since. I think of myself as that person.

I just used a song name with a part of the band's name.

I played Ragnarok and Gunz as AgonyScene . I only stopped using that because I started playing games with IRL people and didn't want then to know my 2edgy name.

I pick two random words and remove the vowels.

Man. Gunz. Fuck. Can we go back to when that was awesome. That was the best time. That and Warrock were the best free games out there.

If my friends and I were to play something in co-op I usually just type in "cum-dump" or "semen demon" as the girl character name, I like making myself and others around me at least have a giggle if I can help it.

I used to name my pets and mounts in mmos after places in canada.

people I typefucked always referred to me by the same like pet name thing for whatever reason and then it stuck. It's alright and I'm attached to it now

I also have patchouli as a play on a nickname on a previous website and maki because I'm a lazy shit with a maki image on my desktop that can't be arsed to pick a new image as a profile pic as a result, four different accounts use the same image.
