I got it by hitting three keys on my keyboard at random.

Real answer: it's a secret.

I made a joke name for Xbox live and it got reported so much that I had to change it, even though it wasn't rude or whatever. I had just started playing fighting games and was the shittest of the shit, so here we are.

15 years ago, I wanted to create a new AIM username. Jet Set Radio Future was one of my favorite games at the time, so I took Jet Set Radio and just jammed my real name into the middle of it. Made it all one word and sexy like. For some reason I'm still using it after all this time. I also go by HeroOfHyrule (or just "Hero").

I had a similar name for Snapchat to hide my gender that I was a female & I've used that version since. No one suspects I'm even a female in overwatch unless I hop on the mic

I-, I don't now. I searched for a short username and realised to late that it sounds stupid.

Name I came up with a character I was working on and designing. Ultimately, because I wanna to move away from my old username, "ChibiGoku", I decided to go with Mendinso. You can still find my old username at a couple legacy sites (such as Fandom Post, ANN, etc.,), but otherwise I've used Mendinso since forever.

As for the older name? Was a huge fan of Dragon Ball growing up, participated in some old RP sites and just kinda used it as a general username. Plus rooted in with the GT avatar of Goku I had for a bit.

Whell...

- NarcAn is an abreviation of NarcAnastasia.
- Narc Anastasia is a Jojo character originally named Narciso Anasui, but the time All Star Battle was released he got his name changed to avoid copyright issues.
- I found the new name to be funny, so i started to use it as the big Jojo fan i was. I even used Britney Spears avatars to go with the nick.
- Maybe now i'm not that big of a Jojo fan, but i still use NarcAnastasia/NarcAn because i like it, sounds cool and kinda identifies me.

It's one of my favorite anime as a kid. Edgy and emo stuff were the thing back then.

I used it as my username in various sites and online games, and I just stick with it until now.

Had this for like fifteen years now, just combined the word "mono" with the the city of Valcourt.

Really liked when someone thought it was a echo of Vonnegut though.

Bash Nasty was a pen name I came up with for a comic I wrote called "Sharkus Farkus". The comic was about a sarcastically murderous shark and the name was absolutly stolen from Freddy Pharkus: Frontier Pharmacist.

I had a different username over in the old forums, but I'd taken to using the Pizza Dog avatar consistently and had Pizza Dog as a tag, so I just decided to switch over when these forums started up and we all moved across. Obviously a reference to the Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye run, which is amazing.

I've been Van Bur3n ever since I was on the Bethesda forums warring with others about how shitty their Fallout games were and how the Fallout Van Buren project was the wrong kid that died.

What a wonderful time in my life, when I gave a shit about dumb shit.

I like dragon quest and first wave black metal, that's basically the story here :) figured trying to fit wrestling in it as well would just make things too confusing

It was more than 20 years ago.
I don't remember the logic that led me to it.
I only remember I had just discovered a website called segasages and I needed a nickname to register.

Named after the beautiful creature in my avatar. I was looking for a character name for my first world of warcraft character back in vanilla launch, and went looking at childhood favourite movies such as neverending story and of course the dark crystal.

Due to a lack of creativity I went with my name.

Due to a lack of availability I put a number behind it.
