nickname that carried with me from military service. I should trademark it though.. hmm, GunWrath™ does sound exquisite.

I decided to use Kifflom112 because I was looking up GTA myths and all of the crazy conspiracies in the game. Also the New Epsilon Twitter thing was popular. I used 112 because someone was pointing out the 112 was an important number or something, don't much remember.

My favorite band for the longest time was Deftones. Their best album is White Pony.

 

Combine the two and add an "f" for phonetic purposes and you get deffpony.

 

I think it's original even if some people give it a kind of gay association. I used to play counter strike pretty hard, and when I dominated people it was funny hearing them bitch, " who is this pony guy"

 

I also felt like it was an underlying homage to my live for music and the film the outsiders. Stay golden pony boy Curtis.

Ahhh makes much more sense XD I haven't heard their music.... I will try some... And what is "Stay golden pony boy curtis"??

There's a famous book (movie in deffpony's case) about gang wars between greasers and preppies in the 50s. At the end of the book the protagonist's friend dies in a hospital and that's the last thing he says to protagonist.

My username came from that my real name is Kamil so i added 121 to it. No story for the numbers. I used it on one forum over 7 years ago and it stuck as my username

See what I did was I looked at the game forum I was signing up for, and saw that it was for the popular GTA series. That's how I got GTA. Then what I did was I thought really hard about what my name was, and it was and continues to be Stuart. Then I shortened it to stu because shortening things makes them better. You gotta cut out the excess. Art? I had no need for art being in my username, stu is all you need. In the ever modernising world you have to be at the cutting edge. You've gotta synergise sh*t. It's all about the synergy, and also streamlining. Mainly synergy though, I can't stress the importance of synergeticness. Then I put an underscore in the middle of those 2 words and Bam! I had myself a modern username that was both sleek and organic, or, sleeganic . Bam!

While I'm flattered you used my username as an example it was actually the original name of Pink Floyd. It comes from 2 blues musicians. Floyd Anderson and Pink Council. So they called themselves The Pink-Floyd Sound.

 

A bit if music trivia for you guys. Anyway, I was listening to them a lot in 2004.

 

I now like adopting the Pink bit as you can tell. It's a nice colour and it makes it easier for me to spot my old posts if I want to look them up. Manly colour, I know, but I suppose I like the irony of it.

Wasn't much thought. I just combined "Miami Vice' and "Vice City" together.

 

Only now I wish it was MiamiViceCity with the V and C being in upper case. Looks a lot better.

Would none of the admins not do that for you. Maybe as a thank you for your hard work?

El Diablo.

it's "The Devil" in Espanol.

 

just sounds cool.

I've used it for a gamer tag and on message boards for years.

I think mods/admins are okay with just capitalizing some of the letters in your current username. Completely changing your username is a whole different thing, however.

 

My username is my nickname in real life. My real name is Aaro and one day in elementary school one of my friends just started calling me "Areksi". I liked it, so I adopted it. tounge.gif

I was orginally going to choose GTRACER1989 as it was the same name as my first PSN account (I still have it but I rarely use it now, I go by GTAction on PSN now), but then I realized that it wouldn't make since, so I thought of some other names such as:

 

GTAce (Forgot if taken or if I just didn't want it)

GTAction (Taken)

GTActual (Just a random name, I was thinking of at the time)

 

And then that's when I thought of it, why not just use GTAction99!

GTA + Action + 99 = GTAction99! biggrin.gif

Every time my Xbox Live subscription ran out, I'd open a new account for whatever reason. When my second account had its' year up, I looked to inspiration from one of my friends that goes by Whatsskill. He also has a friend by the name of Whatsspeed. I settled on whatsstrength, but I felt stupid about it looking back.

 

I ditched that account and I've finally permanently settled into my current one, TheTruth7192.

I got my name from this sleepy old man. His name is Inky due to the fact that he is (or well, was) black as ink.

The "Dragonjack" name is my actual last name in real-life (It's what people call me that for some reason) ... But the word is a croatian last name known as "Draganjac"

Melchior is one of the three wise men that visited baby Jesus. I watched an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion and there was a supercomputer made up of the three components of the creator's personality, all named for the biblical wise-men: Balthasar representing her maternal instinct, Caspar representing her gender and Melchior representing her "as a scientist."

I did ask once a long time ago, but nothing came out of it. It's not a big problem just I wish I done that when I joined. smile.gif

I was originally x0x_vanzant_x0x because 99% of the time I go to choose my nickname as my user name it's generally taken. A few years later I found out it wasn't and got the extra taken off.

Its kind of a long story for me. Back when I was a kid, I used to play badminton with my cousins and friends. But I didn't have my own racquet so my dad bought me this really cheap one because he knew I would probably break it in a few weeks. So anyway, there was something written on the racquet and it was "Jupitor" (yes it was misspelled). When I was creating my account, I remembered this and I just switched the word backwards. biggrin.gif
