I got my username ages ago when I was just starting to use online accounts. I wanted something that wouldn't be taken, so I named myself after a minor character in a book I had just finished. Later I found out the actual name was Ramuthra and I had been misspelling it the whole time.

My username is also a misspelling.  I had misremembered the attack of Odin in FFVIII, which is Zantetkuken.  When I found out, I thought the misspelling sounded better.  Though noone is able to pronounce it properly.   :P

You are the first person that I have seen pronounce it properly without needing a correction.

When I first saw it on the You are a Hydra thread I thought it was Zanzetuken, but it isn't all that hard to pronounce if you read it correctly.

Anytime anyone I know outside of the forums has seen it, they mispronounced it.

It happens to everyone. Most people have mispronounced and/or misspelled mine Remurthra.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I've used my username since forever, so don't google it or you'll see how stupid I used to be a few years back. Basically it's a nickname my dad called me when I was younger, which basically meant "First Initial Last Initial the Magnificent." Pretty lame nickname, but hey, it stuck.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

We should have a general username origin topic if we don't already.

I'm freeformschooler because I was homeschooled and even then spent most of my time out of school learning stuff on my own. Learning is rad.

I always read it as Guin an Ronin. Now that I'm seeing it clearly, my mental label has been shattered appropriately. XD

Still, usernames are as unique as their creators. Doesn't look anything childish to me...Though I've never read it as Gunin an Runin for some reason. I attributed it to some kind of terminology as I usually read non-English words in short-vowel form...:P

Though I still like this thread. Username discussion instead of Origin of Username :P

OtherNote: Love how FFS does his style, Personal learning for the love of learning. So inspirational.
