DalaiLuke
Im narrowmind, self rightous, judgemental, arrangant, and i think im better than everybody else. so why be just Ishtar.. when i can be a Goddess..
Guys just can't resist such charm :)
mythas
Back when I was younger and playing world of warcraft, I couldnt think of a name for my character so i used the random name generator and it came up with mythas. I thought was cool, and since then I use it for most online games.
1pawndown
I looked at the board and saw that I was .... 1 pawndown.
DaBigOne
Well, I'm one person, and I'm not big, so I chose DaBigOne

zborg
I chose the mostinterestingstrategicMrGrobeelectricborgkleiner first but it was taken so I went for snakesbelly which is an anagram for that.
Outstanding algorithmic thinking by @Snakes.
With about 3000 @borg on this site, I was hoping for more privacy at the end of the alphabet, hence @zborg.
A bit scary too? That planet looks way too hot to land on.
I'd quickly become pork barbeque.
True.

AndyClifton
You all got to choose your own usernames?!
Figures. I get screwed again.
lol
bobbyDK
bobby is my name and DK is international short for denmark.so Bobby from Denmark.I choose my name as a 5 year old because I had to change my name because my former name Bent didn't do well in english speaking countries. As a child I played with a lot from US and Australia and they laughed hard each time I told my name Bent. guess why
I think you should have just kept it ... probably worked well with certain "circles" ... and anyway, who cares? it's your name! if you look at Thai name (where I am currently), you'd find far more to wonder about! :)
cabadenwurt
Interesting thread, my name is quite basic. Ca stands for Canada, where I've lived for many years. Badenwurt is short for the name of the province in Germany where I was born.
Crosspinner
VULPES_VULPES, I think this thread is so neat. I enjoy reading how others decided on their username.
sanan22
it's very long story going about 13 years back.. but long story short it stands "Sa- N(and) - An - 22" which are the first 2 letters of of 2 names...and "22" is my birthday
however I've stopped thinking about this long ago, but I'm still using it because I'll probably never forget it or the username
VULPES_VULPES
Interesting...
Hm, that actually is one I've wondered about. I used to have a tough time remembering it, though I think I've got it down now...
Wilfried
Well,I have two christian names,Johan & Wilfried.There are many Johans around but apparently no Wilfrieds,so yeah.....
Sorry if you expected an interesting story
