| To everyone. How did you come up with your username. Mine is a long story and will be in a reply to this one. You wouldn't believe how mine changed from digifan30 to killrbladez |

| I use to use digifan30 because when I first used it I was a fan of digimon. That's where the digifan part came from. The 30 was because somebody already had digifan and digifan3. When I changed it on runescape it was killr-kevin. On AQWorlds I shortened it to killrk. The way it got to killrbladez was MapleStory. I tried to think of a name for the Dual Blades and I tried killrblades. somebody already used that so I changed the S to a Z. killrbladez sounded better than digifan30 so that's what I've used since. Except on my oldest brother's X-Box 360. He tried to enter Killer_Blades which was used so he changed it to digifan30. |

| Forums Name: CC-2224 I personally am a big Star Wars fan/nerd. Although the 501st Legion of clone troopers used to be my favorite, about a year and a half ago I changed favorite groups to the 7th Sky Corps. If you are like me you know that Commander Cody, their commander, has the number CC-2224. Ergo my forums name. IGN:crazychicken93 Purely random. Just randomness. |

| I actually got my username from a random generator- I was spamming it and got Highway Wizard from it. I liked it so much I took it and ran. I find it rather fitting as I've always liked the concept of magic that changes things from a spacial perspective.
Think less fireballs, more portal gun. Except magic. |

| Mine was the only variation of a random set of letters that wasn't taken on YouTube. No interesting story unless you count the 20 straight minutes I spent trying to find one that wasn't taken :/

| Just made it up. I was thinking how sad it was tiny creatures don't get grand evil masters and such, and thought of the plght of dust bunnies. So I took up the cause and became a Lord of Dust Bunnies. Except LordDustBunny was taken so I added _ between. |

| HUGHmungous was a nickname that I got in real life. I used to hate it, but then it grew on me. The "100" in it on the MC forums is there because it was apparently taken. |

Shit, how did I not even see that for so long. My story is kind of bleh. It was originally "Zap 2100" on RuneScape. Zap because lightning is awesome. 2100 because ... well 2 is because I was born on the 2nd day of the month, and 100 I don't know. That account got hacked (not worth it, I was Lv 7), so I made another called "Zap 12100" - that is, with the extra one. Now to Minecraft. My MC username is not Zap_12100 - this is because I got my MC account from a friend, who thought "Ko5mo99" was a cool name (it's not!). I suspect it's actually one of his, because Ko5mo99 also happens to be a Xbox Live account, and I don't have an Xbox. But anyway, most usernames do not accept spaces anymore, so it became an underscore. And Zap_12100 is how I am known. (my YouTube account is ZapOneTwoOne, because somebody took Zap_12100.) EDIT: I own "Zap_12100" as a free account and plan on repurchasing Minecraft under my proper name one day, and returning Ko5. I mean seriously. Award for shittiest name ever, behind "YogNotch3419964" |

| Over the years I've used a bunch of usernames. I believe my first one ever was Blade, because I really liked the 'Dark Blade' card of the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game. - Spoiler:
I mean, look at it, it's badass! Anyway, moving on, I used my real name for a while (which is Thomas, if some of you didn't know yet). Then, I don't know why, but I really liked the letter X, so I went with with Xion for a while. I don't remember where the -ion came from, but it sounded awesome to me. Then, while playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory online, I saw someone named Zero, and I thought 'Dayum, that name is badass.'. So, after that day, it became Xero. When making a Minecraft account, that name was of course already taken, so I decided to put my real name behind it, and used that username for the four hams as well. That's pretty much the story of my name. |

| I got my username partly from when i first played runescape. I choose it because it was easy to remember, related a little bit to my actual name, and was related to lugi from Mario. So after that, i used this name everywhere for conveince/ and so people can remember me better. |

| For me, the name was embedded in my memory. I did not know what it meant, or where it came from. I assumed the word was common knowledge.
However, upon investigation (aka Google search) I found that someone had used it as a throwaway account on another forum. For whatever reason, my subconscious remembered it. |

| Mine is a long story, hidden in the depths of my darkest secrets. ...Not really. At the last year of highschool, all students should form groups and choose an international song and record a video singing the song (for an English project). We were four girls. We chose Guns 'n Roses. The students were supposed to choose any subject they wanted for the video, it didn't have to be related to the song - but we thought it would be nice if we crossdressed as the band's members and recorded our video as the song's videoclip. So during the whole process, including the project's presentation, we dressed as the members of Guns 'n Roses. To get into the mood, we even began calling each other by the member's names, and I was, well... Axl Rose. After that I adopted it as my nickname for GunBound, and later on for DeviantArt, except making it Axl Rosie so it sounded a little cuter and female. That's it. - Spoiler:
Dat's me in the right, and my friend in the left as Slashie.
Edit: Holy crap, that is a big avatar. Rosie rushes to fix it. |

| No prob. I constantly do crazy things to cover up my personal life on the internet. This includes FB and Twitter accounts solely for groups on the internet that I would rather stay anonymous in. Yeah. I'm that paranoid. |

| Well, my name is Matt, and I'm a geek. My minecraft name is mattgeek314, but For some odd reason I didn't use that for the MC forums, and went with some random number. I decided to keep it for this forum, because, well, that's how the people here know me. |

| Weirdly, mine came from the Minecraft forums itself. There are soooo many people with the default avatar that you see it in pretty much every thread you go into. I figured it was kinda like a Steve mask, and, because of the grey colours that it comprises of, AshenMask was born. |
