thats him, ya I kow I said thats what I look like, but I modeled him after me :D

Knuckles 09-07-2003 06:46 PM

One time this friend of mine was being irritated by some kid, so he snapped his fingers and said to me, "Knuckles, destroy him." Lol, I liked it, and ever since I've gone by that nickname.

Brodie 09-07-2003 06:56 PM

Simple: Mallrats.

Psycrow 09-07-2003 07:08 PM

Well, the name itself is from the Earthworm Jim series...

The origin story is different however. Back when Starcraft first came out was the first time I ever got the internet (Hah yeah, I had to wait awhile, but I used my friend's connection prior to this event). :D

Well you know when you go on Battle.net you have to register an account? I tried something generic and I couldn't get it, so then I tried "Psycrow". And it worked!!! Haha. It's the only name I've used since then however. Hell, you can log on Warcraft III and still see me playing under Psycrow about 5 years later.

Reznorite420 09-07-2003 07:29 PM

I've had this name on another message board too, but here goes:

I'm a major Nine Inch Nails fan...
|
|
|
V

Trent Reznor is the mastermind behind NIN...
|
|
|
V

Hence, I call any hardcore NIN fan (myself included) a "Reznorite"...
|
|
|
V

While I don't do it myself just yet, I have a few pot-smoking friends who enlightened me with the meaning of "420"...

Voila.

damnhooligan 09-07-2003 07:38 PM

I blame my username on my heritage. Irish, Irish, Irish!

I also recall my grandfather mumbling on now and again about "Damn hooligan kids!"

It stuck.

Cascadia 09-07-2003 07:38 PM

I am a scientist and I am a geek about studying my science.

Donatello007 09-07-2003 07:53 PM

I was writing a TMNT fanfic where Don was the new james bond so i chose Donatello007. Plain and Simple.

GK Punk 09-07-2003 08:37 PM

My real name with 138 attached to it.

JameO 09-07-2003 08:43 PM

Mine is simple. Raphael is my favourite turtle. That is about it. :|

I hate to tell you this, but the way your username is spelled and the character's name in MK3 are the same. Here's unaltered proof:

SkaterMike 09-07-2003 10:37 PM

My real name is Mike, and I like skateboarding (not so much any more though). So my friends gave me the name SkaterMike, and I decided to use it when I joined here (and I also find that can relate to Mike the turtle).

XERO 09-07-2003 11:06 PM

Everybody should know my username origin by now. :lol:

But to those who don't...

Benvenuto Cellini: Renaissance Artist/Sculptor

Me: Hardcore Turtle-fan who wishes he was the 5th Ninja Turtle.

Put them together, you got Benvenuto, the UNOFFICIAL 5th Ninja Turtle. 8)

Kid Icarus 09-07-2003 11:16 PM

G = first initial, W = middle initial, G = last initial, Trunks = Trunks from DBZ, who's my favorite character. (before I found true anime :wink: ).

so yeah. easy story.

Leo656 09-07-2003 11:33 PM

Leo is my favorite Turtle, and 656 is part of my old phone number. It also shows that I'm Ten Steps Away from being the ultimate evil. :evilgrin:

Phoenix Fire 09-08-2003 01:12 AM

Hmmm, Phoenix: Mythological egyptian bird. Fire: Really hot thing.
Phoenixes are hot things, thus that is the logic of it all. Um,yeah... how I'm connected to a Phoenix I will never tell!!! Unless someone asks...

Peanut 09-08-2003 04:22 AM

I've never really used any really cool names for anything. Just plain names. I just wanted to get one of the most popular names a TMNT board could get before it was gone. Luckily there weren't that many members.

Sparvid 09-08-2003 04:46 AM

Quite long story too. Short version: a friend called me a long long time ago, a couple of other friends "came up" with it by their selves years later, and I thought, "Hey, what a good name to use online, since it always avaliable everywhere!" :)

Explanation:
First name: Arvid
First two letters on last name: Sp
And "sparv" in swedish means "sparrow" so the full nick does have at least some meaning to it...

Taloniss 09-08-2003 05:32 AM

Was my name in a game I played.

Quiller-Bee 09-08-2003 06:19 AM

Mine's kinda dumb, I'll admit. Anyway, here goes:

I'm an illustrator by trade. One of my favorite phases of the illustration process is the inking stage. One of my inking tools of preference is the Hunt's #102 quill nib . . . that's where the "Quiller" part comes from . . . and it sounds kinda like "Killer". I work like a bee, so combine that with "Quiller" and you have the "Quiller-Bee's" lame-ass username.

:roll: :sleep: :roll: :sleep: :roll:

Barkworm 09-08-2003 07:18 AM

Mine is dumb, too. A few years ago my brother and I tried to register on Audiogalaxy with a lot of famous nicknames like Aragorn and stuff which weren't accepted of course. Then my brother said all of a suddden: "I bet there's know one in the whole world who would call him/herself "barkworm"!"" Since then I use that username (or its German version) everywhere I register.

gobo 09-08-2003 08:41 AM

Super Fraggle-jin 90210 Gobo (that's a lot of levels!) was the beloved pet of Goku Jr. who just had a thing for names that start with 'Go'... and Muppets. Blame my love of puns and Jim Henson. 90210 is just an iconic number. Wasn't it a show once upon a time?

Wow, I never realized we had so many people on this forum with Irish heritage.. (Myself included, hence my last name: O'Neill)

impetus 09-08-2003 10:57 AM

I found mine in the dictionary while looking for cool words.

Ninjatron 09-08-2003 11:30 AM

It was bestowed upon me by an incredible force due to my extreme awesomeness.

Sayonara.

If that's the case, I must say... You so totally reek of awesomeness!

HorseTechie 09-08-2003 12:29 PM

:roll:

Mine is really a long, funky story.

Originally, I used to go by HorseTurtle, when I solely hung out on TMNT listservs and stuff. My avatar was just another mutant turtle that time too. It was like a Turtley way of saying I was horse woman or a horse person.

But when I left the horse business, and started dabbling in more computer/technology based things... my mood changed. My avatar appearance also became that of a turtle-horse hybrid, with cybernetic features. Then this idea of being an Internet loving, cyber horse junkie grew on me, and I started using HorseTechie in more and more places.

Mars-Chan 09-08-2003 12:40 PM

Don't laugh...okay?
I was watching "Sailor Moon" one day.....blast you, CN!!! :x *shakes her fists* ....and I was trying to figure out a cool name for my character. When Mars came onto the screen, it hit me....MARS. It stuck with me after that. That's where I got the name for Mars. Besides...how else would the boys call her...Mona Lisa?!? :lol: :lol:

Aaron 09-08-2003 01:45 PM

My screename is just my real name. :wink:

Mars-Chan 09-08-2003 01:48 PM

:D Good choice of screen name, Aaron! ^^

Donatello007 09-08-2003 02:11 PM

Wow Aaron your SN is soo original. I wish mine was that original....

Mars-Chan 09-08-2003 02:13 PM

Well, you don't have to be sarcastic, Don!

Eternelle 09-08-2003 02:28 PM

Éternelle was the name my best friend in Quebec gave me when she made a comic-strip based on her everyday life. Why she picked it, I never bothered to ask. In case you were wondering, Éternelle is French for eternal. :)

Mars-Chan 09-08-2003 02:30 PM

I did not know that...
There's something you learn every day! ^^

Dr. Doom 09-08-2003 03:16 PM

Mine is obvious.
