At first I thought red death would be cool (the red death) however it was almost 100% taken so I dropped a d to red-eath shortly changed the pronunciation to re-death then I changed over to redspear then I decided the letters hq looked SOOOO COOL so I put red infront and ended up with redhq.

T__T IM so lame lol

When I was 12 or so and first playing SC on bnet I had a few dumb names I cant even remember, and I wanted to come up with a new name. I wanted be NuclearPowered something but adding basically any word after that it got too long so after thinking for a while I came up with NukeTheBunnies, but with the clan tag it was too long, so it got switched to NukeTheBunnys and has been misspelled ever since

Astragoth is a special character from a discontinued race in the tabletop wargame Warhammer.

Basically it's a sorcerer so old his legs have turned to stone, and he walks around in a steam powered exoskeleton.

I've been wearing the name online for close to 20 years now, and the name is starting to get appropriate....

I like Gnu's and one day i decided to change my name from Klick_Hmmm(from a book, last book in the Hitchickers guide series) to something else and could not decide on any then i started to think about Gnu's and how i want one ride around on and then went "aha! a Supergnu would be so cool!" then i decided to take that as a name, a SuperGnu would be awesome IRL. this was back then way before BW.

Gnu is the swedish word for Wildebeest.

I really liked the characters from the Legend of Heroes VI series, so I used one of their names as a base.

Stupid nickname contest with friend when we were drunk ( back in 1998 or something) then i won by adding erection + rectum = erectum

SnK was a sc group of like 6 people that I joined, I had to think up something to tag onto that, and I decided on the MT:G darksteel arcbound creatures.

That was like... 6-8 years ago or something crazy like that.

I loved the nickname Chicken Chaser ever since Fable (ironically I never finished the game or played the sequels.) I started using Chicken Chaser for various FPS games and I was going to use it for SC2 but the 12-character limit screwed me over. So for SC2 I'm orlyOWL--

[image loading]

I just couldn't get enough of the meme and it transferred over during beta. After retail, I couldn't think of a better name so I stuck with it. Random people I encounter enjoy it

I stole it from a guy who used it many, many years ago.

Its mine now.

I was a little kid, playing runescape, and this guy named 'pevergreen' gave me gold to go buy him stuff, saying that if he left that little area he was in, his ex clan mates would kill him irl.

So i bought the stuff and I got money. Little does he know that every instance of pevergreen is now me. MWHAHAHA.

When I first started wow I created a female NE hunter which had the name Huntelina, but I got bored of that and created the human female Magulina which obviously is a mage...

I've got the worst fantasy evar and have yet to come up with a better name.

Who cares, I was here first my man so I am the only real Lemon.

It was my SN since I was like 11, and God just told it to me in my dream or something, as there was no real reason behind choosing it back then.
