Yantelope Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Just wondering what some of your names mean or come from. My name Yantelope actually was just an inside joke amongst friends a long time ago and I never bothered to change it. There's not really any deeper significance to it. Originally I operated under the name Fronzel Neekburm as a reference to Space Quest 6 but that name is pretty much always taken for some reason.

Yantelope Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 admin powers have thwarted my thread title again. I begrudgingly accept its fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmeyomoves! Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Booo! Title nazi's... Anyway, mine should be obvious. But if it's not: F-Zero is my favorite game. In this game there is a character called Captain Falcon. In the Super Smash Bros. games, "Show me yo moves!" is a taunt used by Captain Falcon.

diedan Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 My name is Dan and diedan was an automatically generated user name many years ago. I thought it was funny that the computer wanted to kill me, so I've used it ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akuam4n Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 On WoW I started using Iambatman for some reason, and then I started naming all of my toons "Iam-" something, and Iamaquaman just stuck. I used to use Pixel Breaker on a lot of forums though, or I just use my last name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slithy toves Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 slithy toves is in lewis carroll's nonsense poem the jabberwocky. humpty dumpty explains the words thusly "'Slithy' means 'lithe and slimy'...'Toves' are something like badgers, they're something like lizards, and they're something like corkscrews." which amuses me greatly. also, it's kinda ugly / fun to say, slithy toves.

D-K Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 In honor of a deceased childhood friend, believe it or not. The redfaced bastard lives on through my various internet-based exploits, which I think is a nice (if somewhat obscene) sentiment. He's the K, I'm the D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkastprince Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I don't have any friends irl, I don't mind people just prefer they weren't near me. My family and my girl are perhaps the only peeps I can stand for more than a minute, hence the "Outkast" part. The prince part...I have a fucking ego.

Outkastprince Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 It is, Baguette. You "get" me, we're like bff's but not. Don't ask, but every time I see your name I can't help but think of that joke. The bag of dicks joke by Louis CK. Long story O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I wanted a fresh internet identity since my last one was rather dated. Everything seemed to be taken, so I looked around my desk for ideas. There was a Japanese-to-English dictionary on it, so I went with Kanji. P cool story.

RadiantViper Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I've used 'Viper' since I was a kid, and this is the name my 360 randomly generated for me when I was setting up Xbox Live. It was stupid but memorable, so I chose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarfunkle Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yarfunkle is a moniker I've used for about 5 years now. Before, I was known as iLjaG. Yarfunkle doesn't really have any meaning, I just thought of it one day and decided to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baguette Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I always hate this question. You're not going to come out one day and say "You guys, my name isn't Bryan" are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan H Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 You're not going to come out one day and say "You guys, my name isn't Bryan" are you? Nah, that would make me a liar. Unless I went by my middle name, Benjamin. Which... no. I don't know why I started going by my real name, I only do it for forums and chat rooms and the like. Everything else is a different name, like thirteen being my Steam name because thirteen is a good number that doesn't get the credit it deserves.

brida Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 iLjaG. sounds like the type of person that says they're a hackerzzz on their xbl profile so reading that almost made me choke on my gum for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
