**Shinigami**

That must be one crazy story. It is an awesome song though.

**joe_momma**

I used to work as a machine operator for an electronics assembly plant on swing shift. At the end of the shift the other machine operator and I were to leave a note on the production mgr's desk telling him what we made etc. I would always sign mine "Joe" the other operator would come in after me to leave his note and he always wrote "Momma" after my name on my note. I've been Joe Momma ever since.

**Malecus**

Mal: Latin root for bad/evil
John Irenicus: Sociopathic villain from Baldur's Gate II, whose last name I couldn't recall how to properly spell, but meant "the Shattered One".

Was originally used for my first Guild Wars character, wanted to use the same last name as my roommate who was also bought it when I did (day before street date, yay for inept policies at Best Buy). Last name was "Ontubra". Somehow Malecus Ontubra sounded sufficiently sophisticated and evil for my evil, half insane, and general pyromaniac wizard I had in mind.

Later, other games I tried to portray the character in didn't support last names, so the title was shortened to Malecus, which stuck.

**akira5665**

Been my Interweb name since I saw it on the Bigscreen whilst 'under the influence'....back in '88-89 or something.

Soundtrack is good to paint to as well

**halo3uber**

Mine's my desire to be good at Halo 3. But of course, without me, the servers would explode, a hole in the fabric of reality would be opened and robodinosaurs would walk the earth.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oddly enough, the word robodinosaur didn't have a red squiggly line under it.

**hawkeye**

Character from The Last of the Mohicans.

**Exarch_Nektel**

Mine is the name of my Dire Avenger Exarch/the leader of my first kill team.

**Oshova**

Well I misspelled O'Shovah (Commander Farsight) from the Tau and Tau Empire armies. But seeing as it was my email that I misspelled first everything else just followed. So yeah Oshova just stuck, and that is why I have my name =]

**Tyras**

Mine started out as a D&D character name. It just kinda stuck with me and carried on to several games and forum names.

**GoFenris**

Go Fenris = To Destroy God

or, more specifically: To no longer have a need for God

A cookie for anyone that knows how I got that meaning out of those two words? Another cookie if you even care to know what "no longer have a need for God" means. In case you think I'm some atheistic nut, I'm not.

**generalgrog**

General Grog was my screen name for Star Fleet Command, when I joined the Klingon Black Fleet.

It actually has two connotations, Grog is Klingon sounding, but Grog is short for Grognard.

Grognard is French for "grumbler" It is not necessarily pejorative and is sometimes used as a compliment. Historically it meant a soldier in Napoleon's army, particularly a member of the Old Guard It subsequently became an internet pop culture meme.
According to Alan Emrich , "grognard" came to mean a veteran wargamer in the early 1970s. It was first used by John Young, at that time an employee of SPI, and subsequently popularised by Strategy & Tactics magazine.

There ya go.

GG

**Shamfrit**

Mine is the name of my Skaven warlord, Shamfrit the Red, leader of the Clan Narroq, the Uprising Horde, Freedom Fighter of the Slaves, and general all round communist rat-thing!

**person person**

I really don't know why I use this name...

**darkkt**

Not a very interesting story, but... Dark was the pretentious on-line name I was using back in 99, and KT are my initials (and also my nickname).

They blended to Darkkt over time.

**Belphegor**

Kinda a patron saint: Belphegor.

**Road dawg**

Used to be a Roadie for a band here in the Philippines. Got to travel a lot. I was one of the Bigger guys in the group so they used to call me big dawg. So there you have it Road Dawg

**karnaeya**

my name means nothing.. I just like the sound of it.

**Roze**

Mine was the name of my very first Drow Cleric of lolth in D&D, i loved it so much Roze or some derivative Is my name on most everyting.

**Nightwatch**

My name is also my Space Marine chapter....stupid GW for coming up with the name and putting it in the codex an entire year after I thought of it first. ***!
But originally, it was the title of a book I read by Terry Pratchett. And a painting by some ancient dude, I cannot remember his name at the moment. And also a Russian movie trilogy, which I have yet to find a copy of. And I'm sure much, much, more.
GoFenris: Thinking very hard, have not cracked it yet.

Fenris was a norse monster that killed several of the norse gods in ragnarok, thus to go fenris would be to send fenris to destroy god?

**JEB_Stuart**

JEB Stuart was a famous Civil War cavalry general, both for his amazing ability and cavalier attitude and style.

**JubJubMarine**

My Username is derived from my JubMarines custom chapter. Which in turn was derived from my GamerTag JubJub. Whic was for the reason that i would be one of the only ons who hade lower-case in their gamertag back in 2001 (yes i was five when i started gaming), the fact that i'd just read a boring poem with the jabberwocky but it also had something called a Jubjub bird in it. Jabberwocky sounded like i was high and everyone had heard about it, but not the jubjub bird so i settled on jubjub which later evolved into JubJub (and occasionally jUBjUB)!

That is the story of what my username means.

**Doombot001**

My hero since I was around 4 or 5 years old has been Doctor Doom.

Doctor Doom uses Doombots to act in his stead so......there you go, Doombot001. The first among Doombots.

**aflax1**

Mine is from when my friend was trying to say my name (alex) and aflack at the same time.

**Kragura**

Mines just a random word I came up with (like grizerg or flagestic) that way no one will (theoretically), ever have it

**Ridcully**

I take my name from a regular character featured in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. He's not my favourite character, but who cares.

'Go' is japanese for 'five' and 'Fenris' is japanese for 'gods is plenty, thanks'. Hence the lack of need for further gods. As for "to destroy god", 'Go Fenris' is also an anagram of 'Fire Song'. The fabled Fire Song was said to be the only method available to mortals as a way of destroying the gods of Greek Mythology. It takes fourteen days to sing.

Some people believe none of that is true, but i'm an optimist who likes cookies.

A cookie for you, Sir!

**Ridcully**

You just couldn't handle the truth. God knows why anyone would want that cookie anyway. I can only imagine what foul demons possess such a thing as to make it stand on its side like that. I prefer my cookies horizontal and without eternal damnation.
