I have used d-usa for at least 5 years now and it is for all effective purposes my online identity.

When I first started up my blog that long ago I made that my domain as a tongue in cheek reference to my dual citizenship (d=deutsch=german) (usa=american).

I then started using that domain as my email (whatever)@d-usa.(blahblahblah).

Then I started using d-usa as my IRC handle and my forum handle. My biggest variation is when the software doesn't allow for special characters, then I just use dusa.

Cunning as I am, they aren't variations on the same name...

Quite tied to it, what with it being my actual name, albeit with an "æ" where an "a e" normally lives.

Wait your name is Dale or your name is Dael pronounced Deal? Never heard of anyone called Dael, though i will admit i am incredibly, even militantly, ignorant.

Dael, pronounced Dale. It's generally quite rare with any spelling, my one is Hebrew I believe. Wouldn't worry about it though, I've never met anyone with similar spelling either.

I love my handle, had it since 98. It was my 1st e-mail address and i`ve had it since.

Not even Fox Mulder can work out where i got it from

Though my phone's blue tooth name is Creme Eggs and Ham...
I do like me some Creme Eggs...

No...no. Not crazy, just....

Okay, yeah, crazy fits. Don't forget the bat-gak in front of it though.

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa you so funny

Same! Well, except for "Arakasi" not "daedalus" I've been using it as long as I can remember - "Adrian" is always taken. "Arakasi" often is too, in which case I usually use "Arakasi75". Except for rare UK DakkaDakka events though, no-one refers to me as Arakasi outside of the Internet...

I used goliath111 as my run escape account back in about 2005, as I had had an R.E. lesson the day that I made the account.
I've used Goliath, Goliath111 or Goliath11111 as my username for every account I've made since, I guess because I've grown fond of it over the past 7 years (my entire adolescence)

Once I move to Virginia, and save up enough I plan on buying a one ASAP.

I only know what that is because of playing the DayZ mod on Arma 2 !

Mine is from probably 10-11 years ago, I first signed up to another forum (The Bolter and Chainsword), didn't really know what I was doing so just used my Email handle for the signup (which was one I had made when I went travelling).

I'm still using the same avatar as well from back then as well, for my sins.

LoneLictor is from the Tyranid Hive, the first 40k forum I went to. So I've had it for awhile. I like it ya know. It always makes me imagine a Lictor prowling through the jungle, utterly alone, reliant on its own wits rather than the Hive Mind to survive. Also, the Lictor is wearing a hat.

Well I'm pretty attached to mine, Tibbs is my surname, and I've been known pretty much exclusively by my surname all my life, so I tend to use Tibbsy as my handle on various forums. Wherever Tibbsy is taken (which so far has only been Xbox live and Steam) I tend to use Tibbsy IG.

I use this one a few sites, I don't really post on any of them other than dakka anymore though.

As for T shirts and licence plates, my name is a little too odd to be put on those.

I just went with something punny.

I have about 4 or 5 active names on various fora and games and at least as many inactive ones, I don't have any real attacment to my various psuedonyms.
This particular one was chosen as I like the sound of the word.

I'm pretty much Castiel everywhere. It is my alterego now.

My license plate only got me into "trouble" once. I was driving through Flint with it on one of my astrovans, and some dude got all butt hurt about it. After telling him to politely feth off, things seemed alright

I first had to become the Drunkin Irish Dungeon Master before I could use DIDM


and no I have never played DND, had a lot of the books including rules and such, just like now though, I had no friends into my games

Mines short for Nicodimus Rex. But it was a pain back when I used to have to log in with my full name so i shortened it and it just became the name i use for almost everything now. I was going to have in on my Lic-plate down in TX but I never got around to doing it.

I AM FM Ninja 048, the one and only, unique, one of a kind, unparalleled even

Try and steal my name and i'll hunt you down and shank you IRL*.

But yeah, I like my username, it was made when I had Xbox as my halo 2 username, then when I got live the [redacted] became FM for shortness, then when I started using forums and such I kept using it becuase it's easy to keep one username.

I am tempted to get some unique FM ninja gear for myself, but am very poor ATM




*probably not actually, i'm quite lazy

I think Im the only Ultrafool, I used it for everything that requires a username. If I can't for some reason I use Ultratool, UltraJebus, and other Ultrawhatevers. Pretty proud of it, I think its original, I hope it is.

I use this user name for pretty much everything now, It was Hlaine Larkin originally on the forum for my LGS but then the server closed the account but kept it so I created Hlaine Larkin mk2.
wouldn't buy merchandise with it on it but it's a nice constant in my life

Liquidjoshi has dropped away from most places now except my email and here. It was originally liquid_yoshi, but that was a pain to type... just like Liquidjoshi is a pain to type.
But, you know, if you see Authrix kicking about anywhere, it's me. I'm pretty attached to both.

My girlfriend and I had a pretty drawn out argument over my "internet identity"

I use it on my facebook account and she hates being "in a relationship with Bakero Fish"

I've had this handle since 1998 woman!

Only now do I realise you are not Baker of fish.

I have friends IRL that refer to me as "Monster."

I don't know if that counts as dedication, but it certainly indicates some spillover.
