[Drrt4]

Got my name from the RuneScape name generator wayyy back in 2006. I orginally wanted "DR" as my name, but it was too short, so Drrt4 was generated as a suggestion, andwell, with no creative motive just stuck with it as my default username on evrything.

I once lived in a fuzzy bunny house (no I wasn't a fuzzy bunny, it was a cheap flop), the girls called themselves by room numbers. After awhile they called me by mine... 36, and it stuck, it's like my nick name now.

[Lion_ThunderPants]

My real name is General Admiral Wolverine Lightning Bolt Thunder Pants Face Man Super Ultimate Avenger Hero Spader Guy. I made it when I was young, thought it'd be funny for a super hero to have a really long name.

Otherwise, you'll catch my other accounts as Lion, Thunder, KiRK, or something of the mix.

[Metalbeard]

When I played Warcraft 3 dwarves were my favorite race.

First character, when I did play WoW, was a Dwarf and the first name that came to mind was Bronzebeard... So I went ahead and made it Metalbeard instead

[mmm_yep]

The first multiplayer FPS game I started playing was a Half-Life mod called Firearms. I was creating my profile in a hurry and thought the name would be funny since it's a phrase I often say.

I've decided to use "mmm, yep" as my name for any FPS game I play now. Other games don't get to use it though.

[WastingTime]

All of my standard handles were taken when I tried to sign up.  I ended up putting in random ones till this one worked.

[Coboxite]

Just a random nonsense word I came up with, it just so happens that Its almost never taken, so I can avoid numbers at the end of it. Beats R1885(Ribbs) though.

I thought for sure it was based on the Lego Movie mecha pirate "Metalbeard"

every good name I could think of without adding numbers was taken, so I just typed in some random name that sounded cool, then realized that it would be quiet the process to change it....

When I was a young man I rented a house with a few of my best friends.   One of those friends had a girlfriend who got a puppy.  She tried to name this puppy confuscious.  Not joking. My friends and I all agreed that confuscious was a horrible name for a puppy and started calling the little guy anything but.   The most rewarding names were the more insulting and the more childish the better.  Pee-head became the name that annoyed her the most and stuck.

Eventually they broke up and p-hed became my dog.  I now wear his name in remembrance.

You aren't the only one.  What's funny is that he refers to himself as "fed" half of the time now...

[Jelooboi]

My real name's Angelo. My aunt and her family have always called me jelly, some of my friends call me jello.
A long time ago I hung out with a black asian kid named Stewart and he added me on Myspace, and his username was simply "Stewy boi"

I've never seen anyone spell the name boy like that lol.
After Discussncuss2u2@hotmail.com got trashed with spam, I needed a new email account to sign up for Facebook at the time when it used to be a haven for college kids trying to break away from the aggressive takeover of younger kids from Myspace.

"What the hell should I name it_"
I'm not into naming stuff with numbers that are easily forgetful and I don't want anything fancy.
Jelooboi came right up as my first thought.
HEY, IT WORKS DON'T IT_

"Jelooboi@hotmail.com, sounds good to me!"
To this day I've been using that as my ingame names around the gaming communities.
I don't wanna sound cryptic like "Luminarc" or something that makes you try to sound badass like "Fatal_Damage".
Jelooboi is good enough, it's just a username.

[CapAllan]

I thought and thought and thought and realized that I love to lead a team and be the Captain of it. So I took Captain Allan at first(Allan is my name), but it was kinda lame, so I merged it and hence I've been CapAllan. Everybody In HAWKEN calls me Cap (informal) though.

Hey there,
Your callsign has been changed because it violated our naming guidelines.
We are happy to issue a one-time change to a more appropriate callsign. Please check out our naming guidelines at https://www.playhawk...ming-guidelines and then drop us a line with three choices for a new callsign just in case your first choice is already taken.
Thanks and we'll see you on the battlefield.

I'm a little older than the average mech pilot.

"Lunatic Fringe" by Red Ryder was playing on the classic rock playlist when I made this account.

[Interrobang87]

_!

My girl friend during my freshman year of college was taking a writing class and was learning about obscure grammatical symbols. She dashed into my room one day because she just learned what an Interrobang was and thought it was the coolest thing EVEERRRR! (nerd)

I happened to be making a WoW character at the exact same time (later turned out to be my main) and thought it would be a pretty cool name/homage to my gf


So we got married and we bought us a house and had two beautiful children, Nathaniel and SUPERFLY

(edit - the 87 is for 1987, some Jag took my name before i got to it)
