The sexy secrets behind NPF's Usernames

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Lies and deceit Synk. Lies and deceit.

[Revising Ocelot]

Had a friend who played one of the MGS games (can't remember which) a few years ago get hopelessly confused with Ocelot's name. Decided to run with it. I've seen a fair few people think my username is actually Revolver (and one person start yelling for copying it exactly). Another name I tend to use is Krayzin, made it up a while ago for something... maybe a WoW character? Liked it anyway.

[bluestarultor]

I've said this before, but mine is the result of an old password being turned into an email and used here for a user handle because I didn't think I'd be sticking around.

To break it down:
Blue - my favorite color
Star - because I pulled it from an RP character's last name
Ultor - Latin for "avenger," because the Avengers cartoon had just come out, I had gotten really good at pulling strings to give people who pissed off my friends and I a ton of misery, and I'd been futzing around with Latin

What can I say? It was high school.

[mauve]

I always thought it was "Mawve" too, until I heard the Doctor pronounce it "Mohve", so now I am in a existential quandry. I prefer the "Mawve" pronounciation, but I don't want to contradict the Doctor. It's very troubling.

Oh, I know! I found myself in the same dilemma. Especially since the pronunciation issue came up in one of my favorite episodes. But the way I see it, the Doctor can break any rules of logic, grammar, or physics that he likes and STILL be right, even though it's still wrong for the rest of us.

Also, he's an alien. English isn't even his native tongue; the TARDIS could be mistranslating it. Yes. That's it exactly.

.....Dammit, synk. You are no longer my friend.

I pronounce it "muahve."

I always thought it was "Mawve" too

They're my friends. I'm gonna go stand over there by them.

....like Mawve, MD. Or Mawve, Ph. D. Or Mawve, Dinosaur Hunter.

I'm not comfortable with this for obvious reasons.... >_>

Well lookie there, I've discovered a new user title!

[Osterbaum]

My last name is foreign (ie. not of finnish origin) and some friends at the scouts decided to call me Osterbaum because of that. I dunno. In any case, once I started using IRC back in the 6th grade or something I picked Osterbaum as my SN. NPF was like the second place I ever needed a SN and I used Osterbaum again. These days I'm Osterbaum just about everywhere, as long as it's available.

[Token]

Nickname from Freshman year of high school, since I fill a lulzy amount of demographics.

[Mike McC]

Eh, I got tired of it. It was stupid (seriously, it was), and I just prefer it when people call me Mike.

Someone once told me my current name is boring. Which might be one of the dumbest comments I've ever received (as it completely misses the point).

[PyrosNine]

My name is both generic and stolen. Technically. Some other guy had the same name when I showed up, so I added a Nine, and then he changed his name either because he was too polite to demand me to change mine, or because he came up with a better one, "Incendius."

Because of this, people who I have interacted with the most started calling me "Nein.", or P9 when the other Pyros was around. Sadly, almost no one who called me that still frequents these forums a lot, or sees any reason to call me that since there's not been another Pyros for a few years.

Part of me wonders if Pyros has been here too long to still be just Pyros.

[BloodyMage]

I usually go by Bloodtitan, but due to the FF setting I felt that Mage would be more appropriate than Titan.
