The sexy secrets behind NPF's Usernames

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Introduction blablablaGood day, Nuklear Power Forumites.

When I click on Todays Posts under Quick Links there aren't many threads of interest to me right now. So instead of waiting, and effectively doing nothing about it, I hereby open a thread! Hurrah!
And what is the secret to a good thread? A topic everyone can contribute to!

It will go under soon, but at least I can say "Yes IG, you tried your best"

It's quite possible that there already is such a thread, but it's either locked or old. I just hope it's not a sticky, because I tend to ignore those (they can't be important, see?)

Tell me the secret behind your Internet handles. What does it mean? How did you get the idea for it? Which mod did rename you just to spite you?

Back in 2006 when I changed my nickname to InsaneGenius it was originally supposed to be Sanguine Melancholic, or Melanguine*(due to Last.fm's 12-letter limit, which was the site I signed up on at that time). More or less for the hell of it. Because it somehow describes my personality but at the same time doesn't at all.
I decided to change it to InsaneGenius because, a few clich?s and conclusions later, it would still hold the same meaning.

I also think it's interesting to see how people refer to me. Some call me Insane, others call me Genius. And some go for IG.
I'm not sure whether this shows what people think of me or if it's just coincidence.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Most of you guys know the origins of my nickname so here is a condensed version.

Got drunk, used last name as pick up line. The end

[Meister]

I'm just always terrible at picking names.

[Melfice]

I really liked the character Melfice from Grandia 2.

There's more to it now, but back when I signed up, that was it.

[Doc ock rokc]

Doc Ock because he used to be my favorite villain...and Rokc to make myself unique...
honestly I respond to Doc alot more then my Real name. I like being called Doc.

[Julford Hajime]

When I was 15 I was like hardcore weeaboo. Like my GOD I was terrible. I'd run around adding "-chan" to fucking EVERYTHING, not to mention desu. Dark days, those.

Anyway, I had to make up an original character for some Inuyasha-based (Or maybe Suikoden? I forget >.>) RP. So I started randomly arranging letters around in my head, and eventually came to Julford. I liked it, and kept it for the first name. Then I decided I wanted a Japanese-sounding last name for the character, and picked Hajime using random syllables. I later found out it was an actual word, but I didn't know the meaning then. Then I made him a moogle, because I love moogles >.>

So yeah. Julford Hajime was originally just a terribly out-of place moogle in a Inuyasha/Suikoden RP forum. I just kinda kept the name and used it for my own as I traversed the internet, hopping from forum to forum.

[Aldurin]

Why should I spoil it for you instead of seeing who is curious enough to go through weeks upon weeks on internet research to find the meaning behind my username?

[Aerozord]

mine was mostly frustration/sloth induced. Back when I was 12 I was making up crappy stories, what with being twelve and all, and since names have ALWAYS been my weakness one of my designs got aerozord slapped on it. Fast forward to my early internet days and the annoyance of trying handle after handle just to get on a forum I finally thoughts, screw it, I made up the name so I know its not taken, and then just kept using it.

Every time you post I think of Power Rangers and picture you as the (Usually pink) ranger with the flying Zord.

[Yrcrazypa]

Mine comes from way back when Diablo 2 first came out. I made a necromancer named Yrcrazypa, because back then, that was as long as the name could fit. It's been one of the three or so usernames I've had that stuck. It's also the shortest, and least silly of the three that I still go by, so it's the best one to go by.
