I'm an identical twin, and we have disputes over which one is older and which one budded off the other. Since I'm a bit taller I stick to my guns that it was me (y'know, the extra development time?), but we really can't settle it. So I decided to pick prototypedesign because y'know, I was the first one?

When I bought sc2 I decided I was bored of the old "poopmcwienerballs" or whatever random name I thought of, and went with this.
It stuck, and now I'm using it for everything.
Woo boring story!

Lol, I've got like a dozen unopened Ice Age Magic card pack thingies somewhere. Had em since they were new, never cared enough to open them.
I think my name is as much a mystery to me as it is to anybody. I started using it when I was 11 because it was the only username I could register on Runescape that used real words and didn't have numbers in it!

Lunara_Noctis
Luna (lat.) = moon
Nox / Noctis (lat.) = night
Luna Noctis sounded weird. I added some letters... sounded better.
From this moment on i was known as Lunara Noctis! ... but you can call me just Lun
I love Latin and always when i write my stories I use names with connections to that language.
I sometimes think about the caracter of some people and give them Latin names wich fit them.

For the first year you were here I literally thought it was Scratchy, because that's a real world, and never properly read your user again after that.

This was my first name associated with online gaming where I played with friends and other people. From that point on I just decided to stick with it because it was hardly ever taken and I thought it was catchy. Now, it represents me on many gaming platforms/websites.

A while back I was trying to decide on a new xbox live gamertag, and my girlfriend was trying to help me. She called be a panda bear and I felt that I should be the only one, and thus JustOnePanda was born!
Before that, I went through crappy usernames, like Shadowligh7 and Machoman (had that one since I was 7)

My screen name is actually pretty basic. When you put the "n" sound in front of the "8" sound, you get Nate, which is my name. G is the first inital of my last name, and I added the x'es just because I needed a screen name at least 4 characters long. xN8Gx = Nate G.

Yeah I'm happy I never had a gay username. I mean, some of the usernames that people were making back when I was a kid (for like emails and shit) were like blondbaybee212 or sexiigurl69 and shit. I've literally had people give me resumes to try and work for me, with that as a point of contact (as their email).

Well, i started using "Shintengin" for minecraft, Basically, my screenname, is a mixture of my two favorite anime characters and my favorite number which is 10, Shin Seijuro is the name of a linebacker in a football anime called "Eyeshield 21", and Gin Ichimaru. which is another character from Bleach, whom is the captain of the 3rd division..Thus the name of Shintengin was born! woot.

My screen name orignated back when I was 8, when poelpe satrted to use rifregaretors wtih fereezrs so i taught stahrs are kewl.
Then I started playing DotA and thought of freezer on the spot but i thought that the name freezer just sounds like a retard running around the city naked so I ripped of the "r" and kept the name freeze but the name "freeze" is obviously taken so I added the numbers "135" which is seldom used as a number combination and I suddenly got stuck with it.
Also, my old screen names suck so I thought of new.
My old screen names are garet9999( Garet is a character from the GBA game called Golden Sun and it really sounds retarded and the password i often use with garet9999 also sounds retarded), o2weak, cO2(which is often colored with blue for those that supports colored names).
I also thought of a new name which I currently use on steam, Freeze4Dummies.( its like Math4Dummies)

For those of you that don't know, my minecraft username came from my student ID number. Back when I first started playing minecraft, I had no life and no imagination. This was the best thing i could think of.
For some of you, It CAN be my SSN if you must call it that. LOL

(You know who you are)
Because my username is "long" i go by 2004 or grant. Up to youu, i answer to both.

My name was originally F, then was [F], as certain sites wouldn't let it be just the letter F, and then was [F]eather, as I needed a longer one again to fulfill more things. I chose Feather because it started with an 'F'. It was also feather as in rowing, not as in birds, though both are fairly cool. That was my steam display name, and I used it for a while. Then, I met this french dude (
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198021075019/), who played TF2 on the map 2tpl_mine_alpine with me. He didn't speak English very well, and pronounced my name like Fay-zore, which would be spelled more like Fehzor in French.

My name is a composite of three things!
First, Haf Is A Bastardization Of "have," Which Was The Name Of The Protagonist in a book I once read. Ni is obviously a reference to Monty Python (You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with...A Herring!). The "um" part is because I needed more than hafni, was too short, but I couldn't think of anything. I said to myself, ummmm, and then history was made!
I can't imagine why anyone would think my name come from anywhere else.
