My general use ID I got because there was/is a famous YouTuber by the name Philip DeFranco who would shorten his name to PhillyD. I thought it sounded cool and since my last name starts with C and basically rhymes with D so it would sound equally cool, and thus PhillyC. However, on most sites that name was already taken, so I changed it to double "e". Only later I found out this name would match up with my full name . Worked out perfectly.

If you see a retgery on-line it's probably me. I made this name when for my ps3 account, I wanted some thing that sounded like a real name but was unique, and something no one else would ever think of using. | ||

Hulavuta
United States1252 Posts
My most commonly used named, Hulavuta, I actually got from the game Diddy Kong Racing for the N64. On the stage "Hot Top Volcano" there were some words to the background music, although they weren't in English (or at least not intelligible, if it was in English) and I swore they were saying "Hulavuta". At that age, I was also obsessed with Dinosaurs. (That's also the reason I played Zerg in BW and now in Sc2) and a Lego dinosaur I created was then named Hulavuta, and eventually when I got older and got onto the internet, it was the first username I could think of and I basically used it for everything. You be the judge: Other names I used on StarCraft II are "Yes" and "Django". I used Yes because I was a fan of the band Yes, and also a fan of xkcd. The author of xkcd actually used that as his name in chats because he wanted a name that did not mean anything. I chose Yes because I wanted a name that basically means everything, or anything. Django is simply the main character of my favorite video game series, Boktai. | ||

In the movie, the band is phonetically pronounced the 'Wonders' but is spelled like ONE-ders. This is a band members idea they insist on, but people keep mispronouncing it as OH-NEED-ERs or OH-NED-ERs. Finally Hanks (the record label guy) makes them change it to Wonders before they sign their big contract. The name is both an inside joke from the movie and making fun of Starcraft community names that are not spelled the way people pronounce them (cough Noonie and ih-drah) which they insist on correcting people on when they should have just spelled it phonetically to begin with. =) | ||
