How and why did you choose your Username?

ComicGuy89 · 03-07-2013, 05:58 AM

About a decade or more ago, I was called HaruGlory89 on my first forum due to my obsession with Groove Adventure Rave (Rave Master).

I was rather anime-obsessed at that time, but my interest in Rave waned a bit, so I opted for a more general name and settled with AnimeGamer89.

Then, I realized I didn't game as much anymore so I went with the even more generic AnimeGuy89.

Finally, when even my interest in anime waned, I thought of the most generic thing I could think of while still keeping a geeky identity, and that was ComicGuy89.

Contrary to popular belief, I did not name myself after Comic Book Guy of the Simpsons.

That's actually pretty clever.

I remember making up Night-Skyward for a pokemon Forum I used to frequent, no idea where it came from though. Was just a lightbulb moment I think, that and Night sounded pretty badass as a first name =p

It stuck with me when I joined TFW, and moving over to here I figured I'd give it more of a toku flair. RiderNight didn't sound too good (its also too close to Knight Rider) so I went for RiderSkyward =]

My username was issued to me when I was a freshman at Clemson University in 1998 and has been my main handle online since. It is made up of my first initial and the first few letters of my last name.

I also like that it sounds like a South American dictator. El Jacone!

I'm not clever with usernames so I just named myself after a car.

Well, mine's not that interesting. I made a fanfic. Now I'm the rider in the fanfic. Woohoo....

I was watching Dairanger at the time I joined the forum and Dairenoh happens to be my favourite sentai Mecha.

Do I win most boring reason for a user name now?.

Gary Stu is that you?

I chose my Username mainly because I couldn't find any other Riders available, and had a deep seeded want of trolling OOO.

Switchblade · 03-07-2013, 10:29 AM

Switchblade was a character I'd thought up for some fantasy novels I wanted to write back when I was in high school. I eventually decided that wasn't really a genre I wanted to work in, but it was still my plan back in 2001 when I created my first message board account on the now-abandoned Final Fantasy website ffonline. I've kept the name ever since, even if I think it's kind of silly now.

conundrum · 03-07-2013, 10:44 AM

I first came up with mine about 5+ years ago when I signed up for a figurerealm account. I don't have a clue as to why I picked 'conundrum'. I've proceeded to use it here, on tfw, and rangerboard.

I've come to dislike it and would like to come up with something more creative but think I've missed the boat on changing it.
