Last name is Keebler. People used to call me and my brother "blur", so I just mixed the two.
Isn't it ironic and selfish to say that God made man in his image, when God was made in man's image?

Hmm... Well all of my names deprive from Characters I make in stories that I have in my head. I'm not a real writer, however, I did role play on forums for a good 2-3 years too, I guess I can say I'm a slight creative writer? Just have not actually written anything and published it. So now I just write stories to aid me as I go to sleep (calms my mind down)

My name used to be just 'Zen' when I was about 8 or 9. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't know it was a meditative practice for a good long while, and I had the name 'Zen' for a good 4-5 years when I first created the character beforehand. So I pondered for a good week or so to change the name up slightly to be not only unique, but cool sounding (Cuz all of us round 10-14 want cool nicknames).

I added the suffix -atsu knowing it was Japanese related, but had no connection to the meaning, I just thought it sounded cool together, so it became "Zenatsu".

My main character in WoW was a mage named Ixidor (named after a mage in Magic: the Gathering).

My friends convinced me to server transfer, and it seems some other MTG nerd had taken Ixidor on this new server, so I had to change my name. I had to keep the "ixi" part, because that is what everyone called me on vent.

My friend and I were on vent for like two hours trying to think of new names (his was taken too), and at one point he said "ixiRAWR!" and it was really funny, so I used it, and have been using it ever since.

I don't really like it, but I can't think of anything that isn't taken on 90% of websites. I totally want to have a name revolving around the number 42 though.

I decided to go onto google translator and started translating various words from english to various other languages until I found a name that I liked. Eventually I settled on feuerfliege, german for firefly. I added the various uppercase letters to make me look like a try hard.

Back when I played Quake Live my name was Mr.Laggy### and password was Bobanator. But when I realised that I didnt lag that bad I switched up my password to my name. And used it for almost everything so far.
I thought I was indecisive, but now I'm not to sure.

My Battle.net ID is 'Darryk' which was the name of one of my D&D characters. I figured why not be as nerdy as possible about it.

My Teamliquid ID is the name of the WWII fighter jets that won the battle of Britain.

My ID on TL.net was simple. I like the sea, I like birds. Hey presto! As far as imagination goes, that's pretty poor.

For SC2, my ID is Uijado. I don't know how I came up with that, but it sounds KICKASS. I hope I didn't subconsciously steal it from somewhere, that happens all the time

One main problem with it is it can't be shortened in chat very easily. Ui is used sometimes, but... meh.

My friend and I played wow and his rogue in it was called oogie. I just use variations of it like oogiez/oogieogie etc. I wish i could explain more, but I think he got it from the random name generator but I am not sure though.

I also use a lot of Sith like sith9283 because I used sith as my first runescape account name :D.

One the ### represent 3 random numbers. Second I didnt switch my name to password, that would be stupid. (Plus I use different passwords for everything mostly)

It's kind of a funny story.

It started back when I was 9-10 years old on neopets. My name is Tristan, and obviously it was taken so I added a 'do' at the end. (God knows why.) Hence, tristando.
I frequented the neoquest forums and chatted with a bunch of people, and people started calling me twisthandle as a joke. When I got frozen, I took up twisthandle.

Fast forward a few years to Counter Strike source, and I needed a tag for that, too. I shortened it to Twist during that time. Tristan > Trist > Twist, it works pretty well. Ever since then I go by the id Twist in pretty much everything. The only thing is that sometimes it's taken, so I add Twistacles because it's funny. Testicles, Twist, Twistacles, However, if the game allows me to use twist, I use that.

My brother was reading Batman comics to me, when I was a youngling, my favourite story featured this guy as the villain: [link]. I really liked the completly insane, random, sadistic dude. Years later I found out what cadaver means, it brought back all the childhood memory, and my ID was born. I used it first in a Duke Nukem 3d match at highschool.
When I ventured into the depths of the internetz I realized that assholes already took 'cadaver' so I had to think about something. And that something was the 'SW' suffix. It doesn't mean anything, I just thought it looks cool. I also really like silver age comics where half of the sentences end with double exclamation mark, I put it after my name, and I really liked the result. But a lot systems doesn't allow characters like that.
So if it is allowed I roll as Cadaver!!, if not then CadaverSW.
I have a folder labeled day9_dailies where I store my horseporn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
