use anything you want to use, it doesnt really matter. I usually have a handful of different screen names, the one im using right now "Catsup" is from that memorable episode of the simpsons when mr burns tries to take care of himself and cant pick between 2 ketchup bottles.

its been my name on the few forums i've been on, it just happens to fit in well here because of the apparent notoriety of cats.

just try to avoid numbers in your name if possible.

I vote you use penguinofhonor2. It's a great name, and I'll make sure to nod and wink at you every time I encounter you.

In this vein, you could use Doomblade178 or some other number after Doomblade.

But seriously, pick a name that's meaningful to you, as in relates to something you have as a hobby, or something like that.

I wanted a memorable name. I wanted a ghetto name. I wanted something else than 2kyle33. I was eating cheesecake. And so, Cheesecake was born.

Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

Well...derived mine from Tolkein Fiction and mythology.

Picked mine because I like math and wanted to be able to pass as a guy.
TBH, Vector was mostly sounding neutral to me :P

@OP: My advice is you'd pick something that has meaning to you, like all names do.

Pfffftt, its from Final Fantasy Tactics (uber serious game of seriousness), so I should hope not. The Hokuten are a band of knights who played a big part in the universe's world war. They're pretty sweet.

How I came up with my username? Well let's see..
I used to go around under a fake name, Jessica Thompson, which I ended up shortening to JessiCat because it seemed clever, but when I started using my real name (Alyssa), I didn't really want to go around as JessiCat any more, so I combined my fake name and my real name. But then wherever I went, AlliCat was already taken, so I opted for an alternate spelling.
