Why did you choose the username you have?

Avatar of Kinnmark

I'll start:

Kinnmark

  • a reverse of Kramnnik, my favourite chess player. There's also an added letter n, because Kinnmark looks better than Kinmark in my opinion. Like german prince or kind of nobility "von Kinnmark".

Enough. And yours? Laughing

Because I couldn't think of a better one.

My younger sister couldn't pronounce my name when she was 3 and called me Pelly.

My middle initial is K.

Avatar of 3FFA

It is an abbreviated abbreviation for the gaming term Three Player Free For All (1 player vs 1 player vs 1 player) in which three players are all fighting against eachother for victory. 3PFFA didn't look as good when I was discussing how to abbreviate it with my gaming friends at the time. We came to the conclusion that 3FFA would be best. No sexual connotation to be had.

Harry Potter. Snape is one of my favourite literature characters of all-time.

Avatar of Quasimorphy

One of my favorite players(though Capablanca is my top favorite) and I thought Quasimorphy had a good ring to it.

Avatar of macer75

Macer75 was the username of my second RuneScape account, from way back. Since then I've used it as my username on pretty much every site where I create an account, for the sake of not having to memorize a bunch of usernames and which username goes with which site. I didn't use my first RuneScape account's username partly because it contained my name, and partly just because Macer75 sounded better.

Avatar of chessdex

my incredible brilliancy and creativeness to add the word chess before my nickname, that's why. I want to change it, but I think it's too late

Avatar of Quasimorphy

I think chess.com will let you change your name but only once.

The name I wanted was taken.

Dashkee (pronounced dah-SHKEE) is a Navajo word that means "white man."  A group of Navajo adopted me as a brother in 1994, soooo....

I've only just noticed that Embarassed.

Avatar of Pyrolisis

Pyrolysis, decomposition through extremely hot temperature. Although I replace the "y" with "i"

Avatar of IOliveira

Just my two first names' initials, a dash and my last surname. Many people do not realize it is two capital "i"s and instead think they are two lower case "L"s.

Avatar of Idrinkyourhealth

I choose this username symbolizing that i like get drunk with company...until the total faint , ..and even if i troll or joke - i want the best for the company(drink TO their health) The meaning of my username is that I stay healthy while drinking to people's health because "to drink someone's health" doesn't mean literally drink health, but drink TO someone's health.

Also i choose it knowing that not all people know the real meaning and will get confused, leading to wonder in their heads "why the hell does he drink my health and how does he do it?". Thats why.

So,, Always remember, every time i drink - i drink your health.

Avatar of Luvrug

It was a college nickname, because I have a particulally hairy chest..... kinda stuck with me but it's unique so happy with it.

Avatar of baddogno

Baddog was taken.  And as I bitterly approach my seventh decade it seems to summarize my life experience.  Too honest, too much information? Laughing
