Topic: What's The Meaning of Your Username?

Since the OG thread was archived years ago I thought I'd start a new one!

As for the meaning of MY username? I have an adorable Calico cat named Lily and she goes meow lol. Stupid, but cute username haha! 😹

Mine is just the experience points you get from Paper Mario: Star Points. Pretty creative, I know!

Anti-Matter is one of Replicant-D-Action song from Dance Dance Revolution X2.

I wanted the most offensive username I could get away with. And still, nobody's figured it out. JK. Because they say woomy & nyes in Splatoon. Although, the spelling I always see is "ngyes".

My birth year and favourite Mario character. First chose it as my SMM2 nickname and kinda use it for most things now.

This is the name I chose for my first World of WarCraft character in 2005. It is with shamanistic origins!

And from that time on I use Zuljaras for everything!

Kermit was taken but Kermit1 wasn't taken

My favorite character from my favorite Neo Geo game series, Magical Drop.

It’s a longer version of my switch username, ChaosMags. My playstyle for most games, especially competitive ones, is to just cause chaos and confusion, and my favorite Kirby character is Magolor.

It used to be ChaosKirb, or ChaoticKirby for a while, but I decided to change it recently.

@Magician When I read that I thought you meant Magician Lord on the Neo Geo What a fantastic game!!!

I was given a name suggestion from Yahoo email because this name with less or zero numbers was taken.

I've kept it, partially because of laziness partially because its very dumb.

Originally a nickname inspired by one of my favorite characters, Sunset Shimmer from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. I remember calling her "Sunsy," so I stuck with it as it sounded cute.

A character from the Anime Fushigi Yuugi. When my friends and Insaw it years ago they said my temper was like Tasuki's and started calling me that for laughs. When I started needing usernames and such when I first stated going online, I just used it since it was a user name I could remember.

Mine comes from the classic Space Knight Tekkaman anime from the 70s: hero Jōji Minami calls out “Teksetter!” to summon his space knight armor.

Tekkaman wields a double-ended lance, which long ago was my favorite hunter weapon in Phantasy Star Online. I guess PSO and classic SF anime were on my mind when picking a handle here.

What can I say, I’m a geek! 😅

It's a kind of chicken casserole popular in 1970s.

gcunit was born sometime between 2006-2008. I was trawling console modding forums like maxconsole and gbatemp, first to softmod my GameCube, and then in 2008, my Wii.

I was not particularly 'down' with the hacking/modding scene so wanted a username that could be interpreted as being a hardcore gamer for a touch of insta-credibility to get existing users to engage with me, and seeing how I was dwelling in Nintendo-specific threads and GameCube was my first console, the letters G and C seemed an obvious 'wearing my heart on my sleeve' type prefix.

I then wanted a bit of post-modern irony to it, so wanted a word that was hopefully obviously edgy but in a deliberately generic way, hence the 'unit' part.

I then wanted to go a bit post-ironic and subvert the blunt and generic edginess of 'GCUnit' by writing it all in lowercase.

Hence 'gcunit' was born and whenever a name creator allows me to use all lowercase, that's what I do.

@gcunit maybe I dreamed it, but I remember seeing someone complaining that your username looked like a bad word at least once.

I remember looking twice when I first saw their name, thinking surely that's not what I think it is. Ohhhh, there's an i there.
