What's the story behind your username?

Ice Flower · 2014-05-08 20:07:44

I got my username from Super Mario Galaxy, where you can find the Ice Flower powerup that lets you throw ice balls(?).

I still regret this decision.

What's your story?

When I was in first grade (or maybe kindergarten. Not sure) I saw a friend playing RuneScape during free time at my school's gifted program. I wanted to play it, so I signed up. When I came to the Username field, I picked a random word. That word was "Different", but that was taken. So, I added my favorite number at the time, 5. Anticipating another "This username is taken message", I added another 5. That was not taken and has been my username for most of the time since then.

-Prologue-

Each username has a meaning. Usernames display the personality of each user, so one may be able to detect their personality and lifestyle by it. Not only are they convenient as identifications, but each has a back-story. Usernames may be more deep than one may imagine, so it makes a great story to tell. So, today, I, T., also known as N1KF, will tell you the story of a boy who went on a great journey of events leading up to the reason that username is so, today.

One time, a boy was bored one day. He went to a website one day, known as "Kongregate." He signed up with a username being [real first name]100, though it got banned whenever he was foolish enough he was younger than the required age. So, he signed up on a identical computer, with a identical name: Number1KirbyFan. He was a great fan of Kirby, but he did acknowledge that he was definitely not number one. Little did he know about the internet, nor the fact that it would change his life forever.

To be continued...

I have to say, I am enjoying my name censor more than I thought I would.

I never played the old runescape.
I regret this decision.

Anyway, I made a YouTube profile, and all my other usernames were taken. Starvr344 sounded cool so it stuck.

The TV show Arthur.

There.

Are you happy?

Different55 · 2014-05-08 22:33:29

The story behind my username? I was young and stupid.
I have a new username now, but I don't just change everything, so I currently have 3 different usernames I go by circulating the internet.

What's the old saying? You can hide but you can't run?

That's definitely it. They'll just hide.

Different55 · 2014-05-10 21:17:30

Okay, this is definitely my favorite username now.

What is? Different55?

Different55 · 2014-05-10 22:51:22

Definitely. It's caused me much joy on these forums with these censors.

Well, I guess that's different from most of the reasons people would be happy with their usernames.

Don't feel bad, one of my first usernames was coolgamer22.
Feel free to laugh and point.

Different55 · 2014-05-11 09:56:04

Can I laugh OR point?

Nope. Gotta do both.

Different55 · 2014-05-12 14:52:57

Man, it's not even worth it anymore.

This is what happens when you get old.

If your username had come from your birth year, you would be 59 right now.
