Azrael was going to be the nickname I used in a story for a serial killer, but my ADD kicked in and TV suddenly seemed way more interesting. Also, I misspelled it when I joined here (because I'm stupid).

slit slammer posted:Ferrous (from the Latin ferrum) actually refers to iron, not steel. Hence iron's chemical symbol being Fe. I thought as much but that's what I get from going with Google translate over my own admittedly rusty latin.

My typical username was taken by a banned account. I saw a guy who had the username Anatharon and thought "yeah that'll do." Total thinking time: 2 seconds. The WoW character named Anetheron had nothing to do with it.

Alternate to Quod Erat Demonstrandum or "That which has been demonstrated" which is the End of Proof statement mathematically... typically implies others incompetence.

When we were teenagers my friend and I used to pretend to be a Russian guy named Yivgev on original Xbox Live. We'd constantly try to sell people fresh produce over Xbox Live and accuse people of stealing our sweaters and credit card numbers, among other things.

"Random Japanese I thought was cool when I was fourteen and didn't know what it means". Turns out it means "Snow Demon", approximately.

Random name change thread. My original name was something dumb too, though I don't remember what exactly. So no, I've never actually weighed 400 lbs, or even close to it.

I stole it from that french canadian starcraft pro player who use to be big in Korea back then. The 1.0 part is after being banned in early 2001. My first account was a beta account.

I had just gotten my herbicide operators license when I got the account. I'm pretty bad at coming up with names, so I changed Homicidal to Herbicidal. My picture is from the study guide for that test, and the quote is from JTHM which I was really into back then. I feel so dull.

Helicopters are pretty cool. So, to a ten-year-old making a Runescape account, a Hellcopter is like twice as cool. At least.

Scathach is from my writing. He's the basic angry, rear end in a top hat character that everyone who reads my stuff ends up loving for some reason. He's a real goddamn jerk. But the name sounds awesome. He's also a doctor-ish thing which is where the avi comes in. Scathach fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Aug 11, 2013 |

I tend to use the same username everywhere for about five years and then switch to another one. I was going through a super girly phase a couple years ago, so I decided to come up with something involving my favorite flower (wisteria). Finnish is my favorite language, so one quick trip to a Finnish dictionary gave me Visteri. When I registered here, I spent a few minutes trying to think of the perfect clever pun name that would make all the goons respect me.  Then I said gently caress it and went with Visteri again.

I just pasted together a few Japanese words that mean, very very very very loosely, "daughter of the rain", because I like rain, and I like Japanese too even though I don't really know it. Also it's not a username I'd used before and avoiding being easily googled is a fun challenge.

As a big Electric Light Orchestra fan, I wanted to use "Mr. Blue Sky", but it was already taken, so I found another male moniker. I could have used Mr. Radio, but I didn't want people to think I was in the radio business. It comes from this album:

In some traditions, mine is the name of the Queen of Sheba, who was supposed to be smart and beautiful and full of those Mary Sue characteristics. However, I prefer to imagine it being used in the context of, "That jaded hussy, flaunting around like she's the goddamn Queen of Sheba."

Kind of a random nickname I chose in the early 00's, after thinking that my previous nickname "prodigy" was a bit too generic. Pilsner is a type of beer, and I don't even care much for beer.

It's the German word for shark, which I picked sort of at random. Sort of. I'm terrible at thinking of usernames, so I'll resort to looking through my music collection until something clicks.

Two words that sounded cool when I was in middle school. I learned "vertigo" from a Bon Jovi song when I was eleven or twelve, and "ambrosia" was the name of some black gradient in some 3D rendering program (I don't know either :confusion:). I really usually just do Vertigo, but that's often taken and sometimes I don't want to just add some numbers in. People sometimes ask if I named myself after the movie; I've never seen it (though I know I should), and to be honest, I don't entirely care for Hitchcock. In retrospect it's really weird that a word I picked at random has been my go-to identity on the internet for over ten years...

I picked my name from an obscure villain from The Tick cartoon series, on the basis that nobody else would pick that name. It turns out plenty of people pick that name for the same reason.

My first name is Derek, and once when I was a teenager I was making a D&D character because my new girlfriend's friends were playing it, and my cousin walked in on me and went "Holy drat, Derek's doin' D&D, the Double D Dandy Doodle D Quad, dorkin' it down" etc. Called me D Quad that whole summer, a friend heard it, it spread, now everyone calls me D Quad or Quad and no one remembers why.
