The story behind your name

[Mr. Franklin]

There are more than 3 reasons why i created my name(Ill tell you guys one).

My original name on steam was Mr. Franklin1972. The day i created my steam account, in 2003; My grandfather passed away from lung cancer. He was a retired Commander in the United States Navy, and was a WWII vet. and was stationed on the U.S.S. Franklin during the Island Hopping Campaign. The U.S.S. Franklin was one of the most famous Aircraft carriers in WWII. I thought of that Aircraft carrier that day, and choose Mr. Franklin1972 for my name. 1972 is my birth date.

I changed it to Mr. Franklin in mid 2009, when my first account was hacked and i could not receive it back. So ever sense mid 2009 i have stayed as Mr. Franklin, on steam.

[Tiger Guy]

Because I'm obviously a furry.

[ChaosEternal]

My name was first made in Starcraft. For single player I invented the name Eternal Destroyer off the top of my head. That didn't fit in the multiplayer name box, so I changed it to EternalNothing. Later, I changed that to ChaosEternal, possibly foe Warcraft 3, and I have kept it ever since. This was all very vaguely inspired by the Kingdom Hearts series. Very vaguely. If you search "ChaosEternal" you can find the various websites I have used. It is kind of fun to be able to see the mark you have left on the internet over the years.

(3 years on the interwebz if anyone is wondering. ^.^)

[Сєşάя]

My mother gave birth and gave me the name of César. 
Dunno why, but I put my real name in games. 

[Astropilot]

Lego Mars Mission. Crystalien Conflict game. (Like Starcraft only in 2D and more lego!) Favorite unit was Astro-Fighter. Name is Astropilot. I now think of changing my name to Hunter Pilot.

[Sabb]

I usually use the username "Nickybobby14" which I made after watching Talladega Nights when I was like 10 years old for my Millsberry account (It pretty much became my username for most everything after that). I then two years later, converted over to using KHMarie12, which I used as my fanfiction username.

KH= Kingdom Hearts (one of my favorite games)
Marie= My middle name
12= My age at the time I made it

And I've used it ever since. If it doesn't work, I will always use Nickybobby14.

You forgot the part where you _{fap to KF}.

[Tezuni]

no story to my name, i just plucked it from my mind maybe 4-5 years ago.
no known meaning of any kind i know of, and not related to any TV or movies that i know of xD
i still like it :-)

[·UηİŦ··]

tl;dr

It was first my Email, then my name, then somehow played out to have deeper meaning. Woah.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Originally, it was 246978. (Which was also my pass and no one ever HACKED ME FOR 3 YEARS LOL)

But, things do change. Who the hell wants to call themselves 246978.

So, I borrowed from my Email: UNIT.

And my Email goes alllllllllll the way back.

It was probably July 2001, and being that age i was just so FUCKING FLABBERGASTED that my StudentID was 476541. Oh shit.

So eventually, like almost every child then, I was finally fascinated about dose kewl internet gaems and such, instead of dose Console gaems. Wanted to make an account for something, but: "YOU NEED AN EMAIL TO SIGN UP>?"

ohok

So because I liked my StudentID so much, I wanted that in my fucking Email (DOMG). But something had to be in front of that. Hey, since it sounds like I'm calling myself a number and not a person (and because robots are just awesome), LET'S ADD UNIT TO IT.

So then I borrowed from my Email, which then became my name, and regardless of the incredulous amount of Prefixes etc to my name, UNIT will always be a part of it.

Oh and I think I like Gravity_UNIT. Thank you Snivy. Now I'm accustomed to hearing "HEY GRAVITY." Lol.

It's also my favourite, because it ties to being an individual.

Unit.

I don't know if I did this on purpose when I was a kid (Because I knew anyways or something, planting a seed or some weird asdf), but it worked out pretty good.

At least I didn't bring out LEXICON or BIAS... or 'Merge. Or Magnum.

THOSE DAYS.

Pretty much the entire story. Not unique, not creative, and if the name is taken, I simply add 708 to the end since thats just... Always been my number I guess.
Never have been creative :c

[metalbeersolid]

I guess since all the cool people are doing it, I should do it too...

My older brother came up with it after listening to a podcast with the voice actor of Solid Snake as a guest. At the end they started telling jokes and one of them was;
"What did Solid Snake say after drinking from a rusty beer keg? Metal beer (Said in Snake's voice)."
He like the joke and made his name Metalbeersolid.

But that changed when an artist made an EP called "Gay Deer World Takeover*". He liked it and changed his steam id to Metaldeersolid

And I am utter shit at names.

The end

[Rocket50]

I liked rockets and then said, hey! Let's put 50 at the end of it and call it my username!

:L

[Shockah]

Well it was originally my brothers xbox live name he made it because the name shocker was taken which is eh sexual. I inherited it from him and have liked it every since. I have adapted the name many ways to iShockz in competitive games Shockah as you all know me and in RPG and medieval games Shockakan

[Deathie]

I sort of inherited deathward from my older cousin who went to Iraq. Before he left, he gave me his runescape account which was named "deathward" and a password of "55555555555555555555555555555555555" until the password box was filled ._.

This was like, way back in 2003-4, when runescape was still 2D, mind you. I sort of just adopted the name.

I haven't talked to said cousin for a while now. The last time I saw him was about a year ago, when he was working at an EB Games.
He's one of those guys whose really into the whole steampunk thing (Thinks FF7 is the best game ever, listens to death/heavy metal, that kind of shit).

Anyways, I'm getting a little offtrack. I sort of started using "Death M.D." for a few months when I really got into house. I thought it was a cool oxymoron (Doctor Death), to which point, I switched over to "Snivy M.D." for like, a week. I forgot why, I think ManualMonaro (if any of you even know him) made me. .-.

BUT THEN, fgt deg decided to change his name to my old one, so like, I couldn't switch back. After like two months when he finally changed it back to Degtyarev, I just didn't feel like changing it back since people already started remembering me as Snivy

so

ya.

[Tezuni]

wait so.......where'd the snivy part come from...does that mean death or something?
