it's a long complicated story....actually it isn't

My gran bought me Digimon Rumble Arena and i looked at a FAQ for hints to beat teh LAst boss
when i saw the name TAkato...I thought it was cooly spelled...so i adopted it and it was soon joined with Middle names and a LAst name thus forming my Full "Circle/Band/Theatre" name
Takato Rayden(actual middle name) Krieger Defuniak
Krieger Being German for Warrior and Defuniak
was teh last name of a minor character in a Stephen King Book...thus making my initals TRKD
and i added 12X 12 being a Spaz 12 which is my favourite shotgun and X adding a mysterious quality and TRKD12X became a codename for a robot charater i already had form years before called
MetalShift like Sektor being LD-9T9...taht kinda thing. MEtalSHift is a Make Shift robot who is surpridingly durable in battel...andi kept adding to the legend making this chatroom alias a character in my book i'm writing whom is a assassin for a god on another planet...*whew*

Sub-Zero simply owns, sorted

Vainqueur = French for "conqueror". I capitalised the Q as well because it's my favourite letter and one of my nicknames my friends use for me. It has nothing to do with the word "queer" and looking back I wish I could change my nickname since most people will still pronounce my nickname that way. Oh well, too bad :).

Cheers,
VQ

I used to be a really big Simpsons fan like 2 or 3 years ago, now I hardly ever watch it. In the Simpsons, its well known that Bart sometimes spraypaints "elbarto" on certain buildings. So thats how I came up with the name.

I have always liked ancient Egyptian culture, because it is very unique. I chose Anubis because I seen a really cool drawing of him and I like that name. The 177 is just a random number.

Dr. Cube is a Kaiju wrestler. I thought he was cool, so I stole his name.

G'day

Aussie - Because I'm a fair dinkum true blue australian

Ninja - Because the ninja's are what makes MK the game it is, and are my favourite in the games.

My screen name most places is Bezo, but since this board doesn't allow four character screen names I went with Bezou instead.

The significance of Bezo on the other hand is a different story. It is written (admittedly, by me) that there are five holy priests known as the Great Power Soldiers Of The Future (tm). Rezo the Red Priest, Yezo the Yellow Priestess, Bezo the Blue Priest, Grezo the Green Priest and Pezo the Pink Priestess. Together they combine to form the awesome and mighty Rainbowezo, a guardian of truth, justice and low-priced slurpees.

Because my internet name is Quirk D. Phynder. I've been using that name for about 7 or 8 years now. Originally at a Metroid message board because I would "Phynd" all the "Quirk"s I could in the Metroid games. I've used the name ever since.

I've used Vega for as long as I can remember and added Tetra because in a manga I draw My Vega character has an attack called Tetra Illusion.
I could easily have used "Negativ Xero" the title of my manga.Tetra is Greek for "4" and Vega makes me think of purple ,which is my fav color,as can be seen by my purple and blue hair.

When i made my very first (and last) web site i wanted a web name.
Federico (my real name)
+
Vegeta (my fav. DBZ character )
=
Fedegita!!
(Fedegeta looked funny so i put an 'I' instead of 'E')

All your replies are very entertianing. thanks for posting them

Much weirdness surrounds my name...

Mine comes from Street Fighter Alpha 2, originally. M. Bison says something to the effect of "U.S. Army agents are no match for Shadaloo Soldiers (Shadaloo being of course, his army)". I thought ShadalooSoldier had a kickass ring to it, so it quickly became my E-mail addy, as well as my screen name practically everywhere.

However, I got tired of typing ShadalooSoldier, and shortened it to just "Shad." However, there's that dang 4-letter rule here, so I just made it Shadaloo. Call me Shad, and we'll get along famously.

It doesn't end there, though. The weird thing is that 'Sha' are the first three letters of my last name, and 'D' is the first letter of my first name. So my health care card says "SHAD" on it. Creepy coincidence.

On a side note, I cannot speak for him, but I'm willing to bet Hyuga's name has something to do with a certain character from a Square RPG called Xenogears. Of course, I could always be mistaken.

I use Dark in my name because i love dark colours, and i love being in the dark as well as scaring people......lol, don't ask, i've loved scaring people and playing pranks since i was 4.

"No0B" is a slang word in my Guyanese language, meaning "Bro".

Just look at my icon and sig. I used to havce a pic of Eddie Van Halen for an icon,and "Eruption, and Dreams...The Best of Both Worlds" as my sig.

its my last name with "er" at the end, like "zoolander"

For fans of older metal it's pretty easy, for everyone else it's a bit more difficult.

I took the name from my favorite Slayer song "Skeletons of Society" (track #7 on Seasons in the Abyss). Obviously I had to make it singular for it to make sense. But for those who get too lazy to write the entire thing out, SOS and SoS are acceptable.

When I first signed up it was a toss up between SkeletonofSociety or Expendable_Youth because both songs share a very similar (and very catchy) guitar riff; but I liked SoS more. I've used the same name on other sites and on my PS2 online games, but the trend started right here.

It's my real name backwards.

I mentioned before that "Grinning Evil Death" was the name of a cartoon short on MTV's "Liquid Television" aired, oh, twelve odd years ago (damn I'm old...) When I was picking my screen name I thought of Baraka and his big, toothy grin. So it all worked out from there. And while I was looking for the perfect Baraka avatar I used others that fit into Baraka's motif: Kroenen from "Hellboy" with his elbow blades crossed a la Baraka, my adorable pet sea lamprey and it's tooth-studded mouth. (And then there was HAL 9000 and Cartman, which don't really fit in the picture). Anyhow, I'm sure there's been a lot of controversy and rumors about my screen name/avatar - I hope this clears things up.

Prince: As in my favorite singer, Prince.

No Prince because my ancestors are from the Saudi Royal family. So I'm considered a prince from Saudi Arabia.
Abdul: My first name.

Having watched James Clavell's entire "Shogun" 12 hour maxi-series when it had originally aired on TV (in, I think, 1980 when I was only about 7 years old) I had become, and have been ever since, interested in Japan, the Orient and the Ninja.

So wanting to reflect that interest in my nickname, I chose "Jonin".

It's the highest ranking in Ninja Clan Hierarchy as well.

The "01" part was all due to a nickname theft on IRC when I first went on there...it's the only way I could differentiate my nickname with the guy whom stole my original "Jonin" nickname, as people would get us mixed up a lot.

There you have it.

My ex-boss D'Hoffryn gave me this name. My real name is Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins.

My Nickname and the year I was born...as you can see lack of creativity got the best of me

My real name is James.
My friends call me Jim.
Special people call me Jimbo.
U r AlL spEacIal.

I think this is the 4th name I've had in about as many years posting here (maybe 5 years now, so eh)...

Evergrey are a Swedish metal band, who have an extremely talented member by the name of Tom Englund. He does lead vocals and lead guitar at the same time, and he is absolutely amazing at both. Probably one of the most underrated musicians around today, IMO.

Anyways, Forevergrey is simply a little play on words. It kind of suits me, I'm such a moody little bitch at times
