Was eating curry and decided to make a username. "Curry" was taken so I just made this account. And plus it looks Japanese now.

Uhm...

Yeah, I just sat in a sofa one day and just realized how awesome it would be to be called "Captain Mayhem".
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

I came up with my name wayyyy back when I played Diablo 2 probably in 2000-01, I wanted a "fantasy" sounding but unique name and one day this just came to me and I have been using it ever since.

Been using it every since, maybe different variations.

Fortunately, most of the new people who meet me think its like my Chinese name or something, which is okay too. (Doesn't know his Chinese name >_>)

actually Zhou was a name of Chinese Dynasty..:D:D (wow that Asian history class payed off)

anyway.....back before 4th year high school...I was thinking of a different ID since I was just playing with oxymoron back then.

The name SkyLark actually popped into my head before sleeping, you know, those small time thinking moments you have before you sleep. It stuck to me ever since - didn't ever know how it got there in the first place and I didn't know that Skylark is a bird...

Just added the Silver so it'll sound unique or something.

Friends started calling me Arod when I was 13 blending my first name, with a joke about how skinny I am.

It's my favourite character from Chrono Cross. Complete badass.

My last name is "Sigmundson", so I've been called "Siggy" for years. Problem is, "Siggy" is usually taken everywheres on the internet, so I typically add something to the front. Recently, I've been trying to promote my card game, which I'm attributing to my "company" that I made up years ago called "Flaming Snail Productions", so FSP.Siggy, just makes sense.

(Normally, I've been adding "t3h" to the front, so "t3hSiggy" anywhere else is usually me, but I think this FSP.Siggy thing works much better)

A lot of cute stories in this thread.

I kinda hate my nick.
XsebT [except]
My real name is Sebastian (seb), so my brother thought I should use that somehow and then came up with this, XsebT, which is just a play on the word "except". This was back when I was about 11 or 12 years old (19 now).
Nicks kinda stick with you, and since my online gaming friends know me by that nick I don't really wonna change it no matter how childish or bad it is. I don't care that much about my nick anymore though, so if I join a game of CS or something I usually just call myself Seb...

All i have to say is, Panda Bear Guy, runs in the family.
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

it's from 10 years ago when I watched my first anime Love Hina (lol) and i thought the main guys name Keitaro was coolio. so i used Keitaro and Keitarosan for a while like the true weaboo I was. then I stopped watching anime almost completely and didnt want to have such an animu name so I changed it to simply keit since i thought itd be cool to have a short nickname without capital letter. and no its not pronounced kate then ur gay it's kiiiiit.

I played Tides of Blood (an AOS) on wc3 in middle school. One of the heroes was Leto Atreides II, a character from Dune. At the time I thought it would be cool to be "leet-o"..

I made a list of 20 IDs I thought were artistic (over thought it too much lol). I thought the eYe part was cool. So I picked Sharp-eYe.

Like most retards who end up choosing names like ShadowStar or StarfireDragon, I like adjective-noun names where both words chosen are somewhat fantastic (for lack of a better word) in nature; meaning no DumbBrick or WoodenHouse. I forgot why I was making a new username (I think it was for Battle.net West) but I tried to think of one that sounded okay without coming off as blatantly retarded like the first two.
But why?
