[nenjin]

I was 15 and trying to come up with a name for a rogue in EQ that sounded like ninja but wasn't. After like 20 minutes I came up with a good name. I think it's the hardest I've ever worked on a character name.

So I just stuck with it and kept using it.

[Itnetlolor]

In my early days of being a dedicated DF player (before Real Life had to get in the way), I decided to take up a new online identidy using the dwarven language. It's more a self-identifier kind of name.

In summary, Itnetlolor = Uncertain Letter; Itnet = Uncertain, Lolor = Letter. So far, it's done me well.

[UltraValican]

I think Valican started when I played Digimon World. Its an anagram of my first name with an extra A thrown in to sound cooler. I forgot where ultra came from, I think it was when I made a youtube account. Most characters I create are basically named Valican, Valzy, Val something.

[Eagle_eye]

I have pretty mediocre vision, so I thought it would be amusing.

Huh, I always thought your name means "he who laughs at the Internet".

[Korbac]

Have a guess.

[WillowLuman]

As much as I hate to admit it, this name started with Runescape. I was thinking, "man, I HATE all those names with numbers after them. I need something no one else will have thought of. Maybe some kind of generic, non-cool name? There's billions of possible ones and they can't all be taken..." So, as Luman is not a surname you see everyday, I find it's conveniently unused everywhere I go. I'd say what I use in the rare instances it's taken/won't fit, but that's a security risk.

I've always wondered how many people on the internet think it's my real name...

My first City of Heroes character.

I... I think I saw you in that game.

[gamewizard]

Mine is from managing to reverse engineer Gameshark codes back in the day on GBA, managed to make some good codes for Leaf green that way.

Could mean that too, depending on the situation.

[Pwnzerfaust]

Mine's a pun or something like that. Made it up many years ago when "pwn" was commonly used by gamers. Noticed it fit nicely with Panzerfaust, and here I am. Also, it alludes to my German origin.

My previous online handle was FluffyGimp. Before I realised what a gimp was besides a cripple.

[Biowraith]

I... I think I saw you in that game.

Cool   Unless I was making a dumb mistake that caused a team wipe or something at the time, in which case, d'oh

Nah. I was waiting on a group from DFB and your name came up in the global chat. I think I saw you heading towards city hall. Did you have Flight?

Yeah, I had Flight/Hover on pretty much permanently, as part of his look.

[Karkov]

Way back in the days of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, when the custom maps were populated by thousands and you could always find a game of NotD:Aftermath being hosted, I had an account named DarkCalling.  I was 10, sue me.  Anyway, hung out with a specific set of friends at the time and they were extrapolating their names into longer, more formal names.  I wanted in, and they went ahead and used DARK and made me the name:

Drakthan Aldos Resken Karkov.

Drakthan and Karkov both stuck, I use them interchangeably at times.  I usually go by Karkov nowadays because it's easy to remember for a lot of people (moreso than the whole DARKthan thing that people made fun of me for).  Fun fact:  I didn't actually know that Karkov is a cheap vodka until about 2 years ago.

I always thought it was related to Kharkov/Kharkiv.
