How'd you get your name?

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 2:17 pm

Mine's just from my old go-by in online games...Aeon Flux.

My sister picked it, and when I was 10, Aeon and Flux were two hella cool words. Now I go by Umberger, but changing my name here would be awkward (like when Ketchup and Tural changed theirs, they each lasted like what...4 days?).

Anyway...I'm curious to see how people got their names.

Mine was changed for Halloween, but Kirk didn't get back on to change it back for a few days.

Anyways, no idea where mine came from. Just thought of it.

My original name on this site was ShadowDeath, then I changed it to RvBShadow, then I realized just Shadow was boring so I went to some translation websites and the only translation of Shadow that wasn't like 12 letters long, was Ombre, which is French.

My first username ever was Jim797, used it for Runescape. >_>

My first username here was "da_halord". Halo + Lord = Halord. =\

Then that one changed to th3 halord.

Then to H1Gh V0Lt4Ge, because of the song (You know which one...)

Then I got rid of the "H1Gh" because everyone calls me "Voltage" on XBL and stuff.

...it was an anime show on MTV way back when.

My sister later showed that to me because she's into all that Japanese culture/anime stuff...and it's a pretty messed up show. A lot of people didn't know that, so it was ok to be named Aeon Flux, then when the movie was announced and people knew Aeon Flux was a girl, I was all...fuck that, time for a name change.

HPDarkness · Post by **HPDarkness** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 3:56 pm

My original name was HPDarkness, but I forget my old email and password.
My original name on every game was always Darkness, Up until CS 1.5 where I joined a clan called Hell's Pwners, So I left it as HPDarkness. Then when I joined the clan called Halo PC I was all set. It can also mean Hell's Providers (The game I'm making in school.) Or My old Halo 2 clan Hell Pigeons. Plus HP + Darkness sounds cool.

Great topic idea.

Laugh all you want, but mine was created by....eBay! They asked me for my phone number and the last 4 digits are 9713 and it said name a hobby, and I said nintendo! so...viola! nintendo9713. Although I go by Agnt 007 on everything else, yes, agnt 007 without the E...because I don't know why, never liked the E so, Agnt 007 is my gamertag and what I go by in Halo PC and will go by in H2Vista, etc.

K_B wrote:Umm, well, I guess I'll just summarize my experience.

I was asking a girl out to Homecoming as a Junior and I was supposed to make a little fireworks display before the Homecoming football game, so I made one of my homemade bombs (with ketchup inside because the girl I was asking out hated ketchup with a passion).
Well, my friends switched fuses on me and took the slow burning one and gave me a fast-fuse. (Burns through two feet in about a second..)

The plan was to have Sammie, the girl, come down onto the field with me while my friends raised a banner that said, "GO TO THE DANCE WITH BRAD!" while I had her light the fuse.
Well... yeah. The fuse went isntantly, blew up the bomb, and smothered ketchup all over me and Sammie.

And the name stuck. My friends at school just called me 'Ketchup' from that day on.
But yes, she did go to the dance with me. ^_^ (After a few slaps and a kick...)

I knew it.
Umm I at first thought gokawa(It's something I used since I wached dbz) but then I started to state I was hawaiian in more sites, So since this was a modding site I used Hawaiian Modder.
If I was to change it, I would be 8ballah(Way old sn I used to use)
