When I was a kid, my friend Jonny and I were way into fantasy--D&D, LotR, you name it. When Warcraft II came out, it was HUGE for us. We often played a pretend/roleplaying game where he was an Elven archer, and I was a human footman. One time, we had an "adventure" that required me to play the part of an Orc chieftan. Given the nomenclature of Orcs in Warcraft (Hellscream, Doomhammer, etc.) I crafted the name "Brawnfire", obviously "brawn" and "fire" put together. Like, I dunno, burning muscle. Anyhow, the weird thing was that this chieftan's backstory was very similar to the one Thrall had in the cancelled Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. It was different enough, but still so eerily similar that it just creeped me out, because I didn't know about that game or the character until years later when reading about WoW. (I've never played.) tl;dr pretend orc name

It's latinised 'paladin'. Because paladins are pretty cool and so is Latin.

When I was in college in 2002 or so, I tried to make a Slashdot account, but all the lame names I had used previously for online accounts were taken. My three main interests then (and now) were sci-fi, history, and politics, so I took those three things and made a name that wasn't used by anyone else anywhere. And I've used it ever since.

paradox was meant to be "paradoxical", but that made the username too long, so. I like overcomplicated, brain-twisting stuff such as riddles, worldbuilding and Homestuck, and that's why I wanted to pick that. Gentleman comes from my belief that being on the Internet does not excuse you from being impolite.

Dennis Ray "Oil Can" Boyd (born October 6, 1959) is a former starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. Boyd played for the Boston Red Sox (1982–89), Montreal Expos (1990–91), and Texas Rangers (1991). He batted and threw right-handed. His nickname comes from his beer-drinking days in his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi, where beer is referred to as "oil."[1] Boyd had one of the more colorful personalities of his generation and a quotable outlook that made him memorable long after his career ended. Contents [hide] 1 Major league career 1.1 1982-89: Boston Red Sox 1.2 1990-1991: Montreal Expos 1.3 1992-2005: Minor leagues 2 Personal life 3 References 4 External links Major league career[edit] 1982-89: Boston Red Sox[edit] He attended Jackson State University. He was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 16th round of the 1980 amateur draft, Boyd made his debut in the 1982 season. He pitched 10 years in the majors before blood clots in his right arm ended his career.[2] According to the Inside Baseball portion of the April 27, 1987 Sports Illustrated, Boyd listed Haiti in the '87 Red Sox yearbook as his favorite vacation destination. In a 10-season career, Boyd collected a 78-77 record with 799 strikeouts and a 4.04 ERA in 1389.2 innings.[2] From 1983-85 Boyd won 31 games for Boston, with 15 victories in 1985. In the same season, he posted career-highs in games started (35), complete games (13), strikeouts (117) and innings pitched (272.1). In 1986 he won a career high 16 games for the Sox. 1990-1991: Montreal Expos[edit] Boyd signed with the Expos as a free agent after the 1989 season. In 1990 he won 10 games for the Expos and compiled a 2.93 ERA. When the Rangers acquired him from Montreal during the 1991 season, it looked like a deal which might lead to a division title, and though Boyd's work with the Expos before coming to Texas wasn't great (6-8, 3.52), it was plenty good enough for the pitching-poor Rangers. That was the plan, but Boyd turned out to be a disaster. In 12 starts he posted a 2-7 record with a 6.68 ERA (the highest of his career) and allowed 81 hits in only 62 innings. Boyd was a free agent when the season ended, and after turning down some offers for relief duties, he retired. 1992-2005: Minor leagues[edit] Between the 1990s and 2000s, Boyd has pitched in the minors, Northern League, Puerto Rico and In 1993 he played for the Industriales de Monterrey Mexico. In 2005, he came out of retirement to pitch for the Brockton Rox of the Can-Am League. Personal life[edit] In November 2005, Boyd was indicted by a federal grand jury in Mississippi for threatening a former girlfriend (who was also a business associate) as well as her son. On November 14, 2005, Boyd surrendered to F.B.I. agents in Tupelo, Mississippi.[3] In February 2009, Boyd announced he was attempting a comeback to Major League Baseball.[4] In February 2012, Boyd admitted to extensive use of cocaine while he was playing in the Major Leagues and said he was often under the influence of cocaine while pitching.[5]

I watched the movie Platoon before registering. I'm named after this dude from platoon, specifically because of this moment, because I was really high and it was funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_exJ1zLufl8 Apparently his character is named Rhah not Rah, but using too many h's in a single word gives me flashbacks to nam.

It was a randomly generated password from a game I played back when I was like 11 or thereabouts. Rolls off the tongue nicely though; probably why I remembered it after all these years.

Whilst not actively looking to troll people...well in here at least (intentionally), I discovered Eduard Khil, the man responsible for the "troll" face from his 1976 appearance on Russian TV singing "Trololo". He was told if he wished to sing on TV he would have to change the lyrics, as there were censored words he wished to use at the time. So he came up with "Trololo". Also I came across the Eduard Khil, My Little Pony by an artist called "Eponymous". I'm not an active "Brony", but thought of the irony of combining Mr Khil (RIP 2012), and the MLP version of him to create "Pony Khil" which in itself is another play on words, from two different "Memes" (if you will) combined. Troll/MLP it was meant to be. For the record my partner is a Psychologist, and she still hasn't figured me out yet.

Because they do. My pre-cure username was HastyDeparture, which I just kind of came up with for some running-related site. I ran track and cross country in high school, and it just kind of popped into my head at the time.

I used to always just "pop" up on my friends and suprising them so they started calling me a phantom/ghost. I was playing Vagabond's Quest and was chatting with a group of people that had started playing an mmo named Priston Tale. They invited me and I joined their vent server and after several months of banter I explained how I wanted a new "cool" screen name (used to go by Hakura [what a terrible name]. An egyptian buddy told me I should just name myself Phantum since I always dissapear/re-appear. It seemed like a good idea at the time and it's always just kind of stuck Phantum is still a terrible username, but I am literally the worst at naming anything. If I had pets I'd probably just name them thing one and thing two.

Wordplay -Cyantific is the first Drum & Bass artist I ever heard, which got me into DnB -I really, really like science, particularly nuclear physics and astrophysics. Ok so it's not really wordplay, I just added an S to the former. But I think it fits. Also people always loving pronounce it wrong  (they say "Sky" instead of "Sci")Avatar is from a photoshop thread from these very forums.

I got in an argument on a sports forum about my colleges football team and how the worst coach in our history was actually the worst coach in our history. The guy I was arguing with thought it was clever to call me Panglossian and then Dr. Pangloss for the remainder of the argument. I eventually registered the name and using it to post things just to rile him up. Then I proceeded to use it on anything else I've registered for...
