Why Did You Choose Your Username?
 
Sorry if this has been done but I couldn't find anything.
So
mine is hennessy because that's my surname
it was ghostface77 before because I like the name Ghostface from spirited away and wu tang member and 77 the year I was born and star wars released.
so how about your?

Appearance_Of_A_Junky 25-08-2009 09:39 AM

Appearance Of A Junky.

Trying to come up with a user name that is different and unique so I can use it for mutiple things (previous forums, Xbox account)

I'm tall, skinny and generally scruffy appearance.
I have an interest in the counter culture and certain writers of this, and the lifes they led.
One Writer in particular was William S Burroughs, and one of his best known books is Junky (which also is the reason why my names Junky and not Junkie).

Not that I look like him, but I like the imagery.

For your eyes only - William S Burroughs

Naked Lunch is very hard reading, as did a lot of his 'cut and paste' stuff.

Junky though is an amazing read - or, if you prefer to be lazy, you can find it as an audio book read by Burroughs his voice is amazing.

Lewis. 25-08-2009 10:18 AM

Mine has quite a good twist to it ;)
I am in love with Leona Lewis and it is her name backwards. If I was called Harry I wouldn't have chosen it, but my name is Lewis.. so it makes sense

Lewis is my name
Leona - I'm in love with her

LewisLeona is Leona Lewis back to front

Maia 25-08-2009 01:19 PM

I came up with my nickname in February 2006 after becoming addicted to Ratchet: Deadlocked (PS2 game). There was a weapon on there called "The Harbinger", which was the most powerful. I liked the ring of the name, so I started using it on MSN etc. I've been using it ever since, on all forums/websites I go on. A lot of the time, I'm refered to as "Harb" for short :tongue:

And as for the "24", I'm not quite sure where that came from. Random I guess :laugh:

Jayson 25-08-2009 03:08 PM

It's my name.

Although I used to be called Showtyme. It was basically because Eric Young (TNA wrestler) is called Showtime and Cryme Tyme (WWE tag team) have Y's instead of I's. Thus being called Showtyme.

Zac 25-08-2009 03:16 PM

Because 'Zach' wasn't avaliable. And yeah, that's just about it.

Ramsay 25-08-2009 03:22 PM

Named after a Green Day album
shame their new album is SHITE

Tom4784 25-08-2009 03:30 PM

I had a first account called Deanzyz but I lost the log in details for it so I just chose to make a new account. Dezzy's just a variation of Deanzyz but I think it's better then my original name.

Omg, I used to think Showty me was like "Shorty me" said in an accent.
