[Wobble73]

My last name was mispronounced by a friend once and it came out Wobble, it kinda stuck as I was also skateboarding (badly) at the time! 73 is from the year I was born!

[karajorma]

Karajorma was the goddess of the undead in an AD&D game I used to run. One day I needed a username and since all the other gods and godesses in my game were even more unpronounceable, I used that one. And then it kinda stuck. 

Funnily enough, despite everyone calling me Kara, it has absolutely nothing to do with BSG.

[perihelion]

My name arose from a fascination with orbital mechanics and the kind of ego only a teenager can have.  I mean, at the time, I considered being the closest possible orbital approach to the sun to be pretty badass.  So, it is a bit of a relic from a previous and much less mature life (you know, the one BEFORE marriage and kids).  If I had to pick one today, it'd probably be something more descriptive, like "AssholeEngineer."

[Kobrar44]

Kobrar is a fantasy character my sister made up a whole lot of time ago and I liked this name so I started using it in games and in general on the internet. 44 is a number I will remember for those times when someone is already using bare Kobrar. It is a significant number in poetry of Adam Mickiewicz meaning the name of the "messiah" and also 1944 is a date of the Warsaw Uprising so it's overall hard to forget.

[Grizzly]

Although my name is bloody obvious, I do use "MoerasGrizzly" as a moniker just about everywhere else. My romantic mind indicated that one should not choose a nickname for himself, but let other's choose for him.

In High School, I was often refferred to as both "A bear" (due to various factors including build, being extremely huggable, tendency to wear black and brown, and the habit of pacing around "like a polar bear" (dutch saying). I was also refferred to as "that guy who lives in the swamp" (My villlage was very small and very far off, due to the high school there being crap). Hence, "SwampGrizzly". MoerasGrizzly since I wanted to show my dutchness, but a lot of people don't catch it's an adjective.

[InsaneBaron]

What inspired my username? Well, it's an emotionally scarring backstory. Back in Drusselstien in the days of my youth...

jk

Combination of "Red Baron" with "Maniac", in an attempt to sound like a crazy GTVA pilot.

P.S. First time I encountered Battuta here I thought he was from Turkey

[BritishShivans]

mine came from a stupid dream involving stereotypically british shivans

Your name always brought Baron Harkonnen to mind for me.

[Nyctaeus]

Mine is derived from old campaign name I had in mind when I was younger. It was Aeon of Betrayal. Later it evolved into Aeon_Betrayal I'm still using sometimes. While I requested change of my username a few times, Goober refused to change my nickname to Teeraal I really like because he won't change my name to something that is name of demon . Well, Betrayal remained.

[NeonShivan]

I was literally 12 when I made this username and has stuck since then. It has no real meaning nor does it have any connection to anything special in my life, just another one of my foolish childish mistakes that I shall forever wear as a mark of shame.

If you can request username change... I can rid myself of this mark of shame! Yay!

[Dragon]

Mine comes from my favorite fighter in WC4. I picked it before finding out who actually flew them... Still, it kind of stuck.

Sorry BTA. They won't change your name unless you have a really good reason for it. I saw a thread once where this was explained. I tried to find it again for you but I couldn't. As Betrayal said, his name wasn't changed.

Heh. I'm sure people would have thought you were named after a different fighter called Dragon.

[Scotty]

If you can't guess why I go by Scotty, ten points from Gryffindor.

Elsewhere, including Steam and Skype, I frequently go by Strobe, which is a combination of my first initial, middle initial, and the first for letters of my last name.  Being an actual word is just a cool bonus.

[NeonShivan]

Damn I was afraid you'd say that, oh well.

[FIZ]

Boomer is my callsign in all combat flight simulator games. It started back with Janes ATF and has stuck since then.

Cool, I grabbed mine from Janes FA!

[Shivan Hunter]

"Rather be fighting the NTF if you ask me. I never signed on for hunting Shivans."

well... I signed on for hunting Shivans. They were on the box art and everything. GTVA ftw (except the Gefs are the best faction because they use my ships)

[Rodo]

what where you on!

absolutely nothing

[LHN91]

As a kid, I came up with "Lohon" as part of a save name on one of my playthroughs of Starcraft. I've always sucked at thinking up original names, so it got re-used, and later truncated to LHN/LHN9/LHN91.
