Title: Why did you choose your forum username?
Post by: Stick on February 02, 2013, 09:30:46 pm
It's interesting to learn the story behind a name. What's yours? :)

I chose 'Stick', not because I wanted a name with a sexual innuendo (or because I love sticks) but as it is a neat little acronym that somewhat summarises the type of person that I am. You can see what it stands for below my avatar on every post, in case you haven't noticed. :P

Because I like zombies and my friend went to a zombie walk recently and i was gunned that I couldn't go because it was in brisbane and also I didn't want to go to the one in melbourne on my own (no way my friends would go dress up as zombies)
I was watching playthroughs of dead island and playing zombie flash games etcetc.

and I'm lazy.
yay no.

typos galore

Well I chose the username "Starfish" because it has the word "star" in it, which makes me feel all special  :)

Plus, most starfish are really colourful creatures - not just in the way they look, but in terms of their lifestyles as well!

Apart from the fact that "Starfish" renders me anonymous to some degree, it's also the sort of name that people are typically non-judgemental about. You know...like nobody really has anything against Starfish  :P

When I joined this site, I think Tumblr the internet in general was going through that phase where we just say Le in front of everything, so I was used to that, and the Brightest Witch part comes from Hermione.

Needless to say, I regretted it within a week and searched all the settings and things for a way to change it to just 'The Brightest Witch' (I was over the underscore phase but didn't know you could put spaces in your username). Eventually, I gave up.

My picture just happened to be the only image on my desktop that I hadn't put in a folder. It was called untitled.

I use this username for most sites where I'm not fussed about my identity. It's just a compound of a bunch of different usernames I had back in my pre-teens/early-teens, except I chopped and changed it so it made a halfway pronounceable word.

Post by: AngelWings on May 02, 2016, 08:22:40 pm
I realised I never did this. Okay... long story short, my username has meaning.
That meaning just happens to be because I used to see myself in a character of an anime I used to enjoy back in my childhood. (Go ahead and search my quote. You'll find it.) Very simple storyline and yes, it's honestly not a good one, but its biggest things were the main character searching for her mother and success after trying hard at something. My username is the roughly translated catchphrase the main character shouts at the beginning of each match and is meant to remind me to try hard.
(Side notes: I don't even watch anime any more. I've used this username prior to making an account here.)
So deep, right?

Because, naturally, my name is not Joseph.

A proper response.

So back in the day, when I could actually do things without getting injured, I played a lot of cricket. I made my seniors debut when I was  barely 14, so most of my teammates were a lot older than me. A few years in, I was probably playing at a grade or two higher than where I should have been playing out of necessity (a lack of wicket keepers in our club at the time). So when I did something well, people used to say "good, Nick" (because my actual name is Nick) as encouragement. One bloke thought that that sounded a bit like "Gutnick" in rapid speech. Now (and I hope you're following), there is a guy called Joseph Gutnick. In the late 1990s/early 2000s, he was President of the Melbourne Football Club, which I support very heartily. Hence, Joseph. It usually became Joey, which also had the double meaning of me being much younger than most of my teammates (as in a young kangaroo). The name really only stuck for a short time because I then had to give up cricket due to injuries, so nobody calls me that now (except for Brenden accidentally hahaha). I've sort of adopted it as a pseudonym, though.

And 41 was my cricket playing shirt number.

So there you go!

^He's lying.  That cricket shirt thing is just a cover-up.  '41 is actually his birth year, as he's reluctantly admitted to me before, and let me tell you, he looks his age too.  Fact.

(And I have both substantial in-person and photographic proof).

... and yeah.  If only we didn't censor things round here, that's what I should've changed his name to... JosephFuckNick.  Classic Brenden.

My name on this forum was originally 'amalgam', which I also use on some other internet sites. I just probably wanted a boring name, and I use actual and made-up words as my internet usernames most of the time. Funnily enough, I'm actually enrolled in a dentistry course now, but I came up with the name long before then (either that, or my subconscious is way ahead of my conscious mind).

Some time after I joined, I wanted to write a unit review for a subject I did at Monash University. The subject featured a lot of embryology. However, it so happened that the string of letters 'yolo' was blocked in all posts at that time, even if the string was contained in a larger word. Of course, this made it hard to write a review of embrYOLOgy, so I begged the mod/admin team to temporarily suspend the blanket ban, and thus help me post. Grudgingly, they did ... and also changed my name to 'yologam' instead.

Some months after that, the mods/admins found out that I was happy with the grades I had for that semester of uni, and again changed my name to nerdgam. From there, it was only a short step before they changed my name to what it is currently.

I'm almost tempted to post and help out more so I can eventually become a mod and exercise a most terrible revenge on the people who altered my name ... but let's face it, they'll probably be long gone by then, and I'll just be a sad, cranky, spiteful old codger  :(

to be honest, i kinda like my name now

You surely have the coolest name journey of any of us.  That's classic.  Gave me a laugh.

Seeing as Bookworm101 already dug up this thread, ill just add to it by saying "studybuddy777" was my bos username (before i changed parties :P), after changing it from "bioboy123" and "biobuddy123". I then picked 777 because I'm lucky like that and like the number 7
OFFTOPIC:
Spoiler
Anyone put crosses through their sevens? Like a line on the lower part of the 7?

Anyway.. someone had already claimed studybuddy777 so i just added another 7.
Lol

I was going to be studybuddy7777 but the username was already taken. :(

They don't look right to me at all without the strikethroughs.
