Idk maybe it started with cod4 campaign and gaz, Gaz was taken so i tried laz, being the second best option. also taken, then I thought about diablo 2 and the blacksmith that gives you sockets in act 5, I always misread his name as lazirick, also taken. So then I messed around with it and got Lazirith, but at the time I really hated french so I dropped the la.

Well my name began as Jedidiah, because my friend and I went traveling in a swamp on a god aweful trip where I called myself that, and he was swampy. We ended up having out boots fill with ice cold water for about 4 hours, canoeing and such. then after that, another friend called me Goby from this video.



So I put those together and got Goobadiah.

I don't really remember where mine comes from.

Pretty much nearly always shortened to Dhal, though, which coincidentally is also a type of Indian food that is apparently quite good.

I had a teacher during my freshmen year of high school who taught AP Human Geography. He was THE BEST and had alot of saying and themes that he used. Among them was the word "geo" which he was determined to make into a slang word for cool. That is where I got Geo, but Geo was taken here so I just but "the" in front of it. I wish the dynamic dominico dance volume could have been turned into a cool name though... that was the coolest thing about that class.

Back in my first year of highschool the thing that trended with us freshmen was a game called Flash Flash revolution, in which a friend of mine was absolutly amazing (Like how good kawirice is at OSU! good).
Now he had a habit of calling people who had done dumb stuff, noobs and at that time i did not know what that word meant. I found out what that word meant and when i registered onto the site i was wondering was name i should use.
In my attempts of being clever i thought of using the word noob and thus came up with the word Nooboon

Hmm, let's see...

I used to go by the handle of Atlas, because it's my middle name, wasn't all that common but still something I could identifiy myself with - albeit a bit ironic considering my physical build (6'1, 125-130 lbs/185 cm, 56-58kg). Anyway, I'm a metalhead but don't really have any physical metalhead friends, but I was registered at this forum with other likeminded Swedish people. In 2009 there was this festival called Muskelrock in Sweden, named after the debut EP of the Canadian bodybuilder/heavy metal artist called Thor. During the festival I met up with friends from this forum, and some of us were sitting in a tent smoking weed/getting drunk while waiting for the first bands of the day to go on stage. Me and one guy started chatting about music and the festival, and I started talking about the name "Muskelrock". What it means, which bands music you could put this label to... And, since there's hardcore punk, deathcore and so forth - shouldn't there be a genre called Musclecore? And then I realized no bands could be labeled as Musclecore, since the muscliest (???) music there is would be Thor, and he just plays Muscle Rock, so then I have to be Musclecore. Thus I added "Musclecore" as a surname to Atlas and changed my ID to Atlas Musclecore. After that I've registered on other sites by either the full name or simply Musclecore.

TL;DR version: It's derived from the EP "Muscle Rock" by Thor/The metal festival "Muskelrock" as a pun on genres and my physical stature. (Being thin, only possessing the core of muscular structure)

Past ID's:
+ Show Spoiler +
Coolpapado - something I made up when I was 9 years old out of nothing, probably inspired somewhat by the artist Papa Dee.
Sventevith - taken from the first full length of the then black metal band Behemoth.
Jarnroth - Not an ID per se, but my surname.

Truffles are delicious. :D But for AGES my name online was Juno. And it still is on almost everywhere but here. It's my SC name.

Ummm the movie. :D I think it's awesome.

man, this is an embarrassing story.

but there's an old internet meme that consists of the phrases "i don't believe it" "habeeb it" "twinkie house"

i used to flip between habeeb it and twinkiehouse when playing CS1.6 and TF2, but for some weird reason i thought "habeeb it" would be racist to certain people, so i stuck with twinkiehouse.

I play a popular rhythm game called FFR (FlashFlashRevolution) and my account on there is Xx{Midnight}xX. I decided originally for SC2 to use a funny name (RaginWaffle) but then decided to change it once I escaped bronze leauge. Now on the FFR site people commonly just call me Midnight or Middie for short (because the Xx{name}xX is annoying to type out.) So I simply decided to flip it backwards for my new SC2 account name.

So you take Middie and flip it backwards (including the capital) and it's eiddiM.

It was funny to watch someone try and cast it and say it backwards (Idim is how I say it, but I guess it's debatable.)

I've used so many...
When I was like, 5, I went on Nickelodeon Games heaps, and I figured Spike was cool. It was already taken, but it offered 35spike1 and I took it.

Recently a friend of mine's been using Wobblesock and I actually stole it on SC2. Turned out he was getting SC2, so he offered the name AnxiousHippo and I took it.

I used to go by TheShadowedOne (a character from lego's bionicle lol), or Roox.

When I created my first WoW character I had to get a different name, because he was a paladin and the TheShadowedOne didn't fit. Paladins have Auras, so I tried combining Auras and Roox, and eventually I arived at Auross, which I enjoyed a lot and still use in all my IDs.

This topic is one of the most awesome I've seen so far in here! It'll take a while to read all those 105 pages so far, but really worth it in the long run for curiosity purposes.

Allright, back in the BW days I used the ID Falc0n7. First, because at that time I was playing Metal Gear Solid and I got that code name after I've beaten the game on my second run (the first run I got elephant... ). Second, because this is a cool animal. Third, I wanted to add the 007 tag but thought it seemed odd... So I replaced the "o" of "falcon" with the "0" and kept only one.

For SC2, I wanted something a little more reprensentative of who I am and more personnal too. So I opted for the facts that I've got wheels and I'm a man. Why wheels? Car? Motorcycle? Bike? Caddy? NO! Wheelchair!! And yes I do a lot of wheelies to show off my skills For those who guessed the quizz right, congrats!!

It started out with a discussion between my friends on what we would do if we won the lottery.

I would pay for med school and become a doctor.

Seriously, What's better than a Dr.Billionaire.
(Shortened to DocBillioN cause of the limit on characters in SC2 names, and I refuse to look stupid by misspelling a word in my name....)
