I wanted to change it up to be a little more original and ended up with Spyfire, there are no obvious reasons for this I just thought it sounded good.

It first started as (Starg) Because of star gate the T.V. show, it would continue in middle school I used to play this game called subspace(now continuum) and I still used the Alias (Starg). I made a transition to CS 1.6 where I still kept (Starg).

About 1 or 2 years ago I decided I wanted to try something else I felt that "Starg" was not doing it for me anymore so I put the name backwards!!! NOW! Starg = Grats.

MIND = PLEASED

I had my name as TheKing for a while but it was very unoriginal. I picked it because i am a huge Lebron James fan "Also know as the king of basketball".

My new name is FieLd. This has to do with my last name and i just think it is a simple but sweet name. Dont you agree??? ahaha

My first girlfriend's SN was Vasoline73 and I liked it so I took it on most of the forums I post on. She had it as a reference to Vasoline by The Stone Temple pilots. Forgot why was a 73 there.

For some reason everytime someone has commented on my sn, they think it's a reference to vasoline as sex lube or something. wtf

I like puns and i played zerg in BW. Also the idea of an Overlord acting like a generic frat douche type amuses me. I suppose i could've been guidOverlord too, but it's not as fun to say.

When the Real ID fiasco was going about I was going to stay anonymous no matter what even if I needed to make another account for the rest of my games. And I was also thinking of getting a good nickname for when the retail release of SC2 hit shelves.

Anonymous. Anon. backwards = nonA. NoNa.

Yep

I've been using Psychosis for years (best sounding word in the English language!!!), but sometimes I like to go as Psyclon - from the band Psyclon Nine.

Wyght means agile or something like that(I forgot).
Also, it sounds like White, which is my actualy surname, but sounds way cooler, and honestly, who wants to have a surname after a color?

I love wolves(basically any animal, but wolves are my favorite by a landslide).

so whitewolf -> wyghtwolf -> agile wolf

It even goes well together, because wolves are very agile and strong

to the dude above my post:
nothing wrong in knowing a bit of quenya. was a fun language to learn

(useless though :/)

Fun topic.

My regular ID is CosmicZ and I've been using that user name for 5 years. For those that know some stuff about 'Futurama' you may be able to follow this story.

There I was, sitting down in my comfy chair, surfing the net doing regular stuff and I end up at a registration form. I can't for the life of me remember what I was registering to. Was it a game? Was it a web page? I don't know. All I know is that I was nameless.

For years, I didn't know what my user name was. I would jump between anime names mostly but none of them felt right. I always felt incomplete once I clicked submit on registration forms. So, this time, I said to myself, "I am not clicking submit unless I'm 100% sure I like my user name." So, I'm thinking hard. I start testing out names, typing some out and gauging to see if I like the look and sound of them. There were some bad names, and there were some good names, but none I really thought was mine.

As I'm about to give up, I ask my twin brother, "What do you think I should name myself?". He didn't respond with a suggestion but with a "Dude, can't you wait until 'Futurama' is over?". And there it was, my favorite episode was playing, "The Luck of the Fryrish" (This is where if you don't watch 'Futurama' you may get lost). It was the scene where Fry and his older brother Yancy are in front of the building and they are prepping to break dance(with Noticeably F.A.T laying down the track). The crew leader is asking for their names. Fry answers with 'Cosmic F', and Yancy answers with 'Cosmic Y'. And I thought, hey, that's a cool name. I love astronomy and physics, why not. At this point I thought Fry had said his name was 'Cosmic X' and Yancy said 'Cosmic Y', so in turn I named myself 'Cosmic Z'. I typed in the name in the registration and clicked submit. Only after I watched the episode again I realized Fry had said 'F', but it didn't matter. I had finally found a user name that felt like it was mine, and it didn't leave me feeling incomplete.

And that is it.

p.s. I only use BabyFarkMcgeeZax for TL and USTREAM.

I used to be into competitive dance gaming. When I was first getting into it though, I realized that I needed a name to use on forums, for tourney entries, etc. While at the arcade with some friends, we were brainstorming random names, when my friend got bored and started using every single word on my shirt as a possible name. I happened to be wearing a World Vision 30 Hour Famine shirt. When he got around to "Vision" I realized that actually sounded ok, and stuck with it.

So, how did Vision get to vizniz? Well, over time it changed. Dance game machines allow for 4 letter initial tags for records, so for that I used VISN. Later, I needed to remake my ddrfreak account because it got purged due to inactivity (or I couldn't remember it...not sure). I felt silly, and pretty dumb for losing it, so I made my new account "visnistehn00b". VISN-is-the-n00b. Just kindof making fun of myself.

Then I got involved with a friend of mine and his ventrilo buddies from when he played guild wars. I started playing BW and other random games with them, frequently using the name "visnistehn00b". As more people I didn't know kept coming into Vent and playing games, I kept hearing it shortened to "visnis", or "vis".

Later, I decided that "visnistehn00b" was way to long. So I chopped of the end, changed the s' to z' and there you have it. Vizniz. A slow transformation from 2004-present.

It's not complicated, Pálmar is my real life name, and it seems fairly unique. I traditionally use the English spelling (Palmar) and the additional lol (Palmarlol) if the first choice is unavailable.
