Explain Your Username.

[Nameless]

the gamer tag i've used for years is Nameless_one1988. not sure y i didn't add the _one1988 to my user name when i signed up years ago.

The nameless one is a character from an old RPG... and if you know which one then you are an awesome person

I continue to stick with it as it's what people know me by here and I couldn't really be bothered changing it now.

Interesting. Funny, I thought it was something else.

That's what I thought, too!


As for mine, I'll quote myself from the previous thread for this.

"Mine is fairly simple, actually. I am a big Marvel fan, and one of my favorite female characters from their comics is Ms. Marvel. I'm also married female, so it serves several ways- I'm a Marvel fan, I'm a Ms., and she's one of my fave Avengers. The Duckie part is because my last(married) name is- no kidding- Duck. I get called Duckie a lot at work because of it, and yes, I've heard just about every play on the name imaginable. In fact, one of the jokes I tell people when they learn my last name is to tell them that I married a duck. (No, not Howard- though my hubby has confirmed that they are related....) I've been using this name on almost every site I'm on, ever since I first used it on the Marvel boards back in 03. It's just kind of stuck, and I don't really feel like changing it, since A: it makes it easier for people to find me on-line when I use the same name every time, and B: it's too hard to remember more than one or two.

The only other username I go by (on Candlekeep and Eilistraee.com) is Alystra Illianniis, which is the name of one of my D&D PC's. She's a half-drow(AKA dark elf) priestess of Eilistraee, the long-haired nekkid goddess of dance, music, sword-fighting, and moonlight. Don't judge- she's actually the one GOOD deity of the drow(dark elves) in D&D. All the others are EBIL!!!"


And there you have it!

Which was good, because I had been wanting to change my XBLtag, but couldn't think of anything else to use. That name kind of stuck, as my cousin (JameO) started using it IRL, which caught on to other friends and pretty much became my nickname all over the place. After a lot of deliberation, I finally changed my user name on here from Michaelangelo to Peanut.

So, yeah. My username means I routinely allow drunk people to decide things for me.

Technically "CyberCube" is actually a real product:

Its some weird puzzle toy, anyone heard of it before? Although my username has nothing to do with it.

[Netkeeper]

Holy ****. I WANT ONE.

[BabyTurtles]

[Wesley]

My username originates from the character of the same name in the tv shows Buffy and Angel.

Looks like those things with the magnetic balls I've seen by other brand names, my brother in law had a set but not that brand.


(Keep them away from children and pets! They can damage the intestines if more than one piece is swallowed and the magnetism pulls them together from either side of the organ walls.)

I just adopted it and capitalized all the letters. Been using it ever since.

To exaggerate it: I'm a zero who takes it to the extreme. Hence the "X" instead of the "Z".

[LeoRaph]

Mine's nothing special, my fave turtles are Leo and Raph where I like them about the same, some versions more than the other but they balance out overall...also my fave colour is Blue hence why it's LeoRaph not RaphLeo.
