The sexy secrets behind NPF's Usernames
 
Introduction blablablaGood day, Nuklear Power Forumites.

When I click on Todays Posts under Quick Links there aren't many threads of interest to me right now. So instead of waiting, and effectively doing nothing about it, I hereby open a thread! Hurrah!
And what is the secret to a good thread? A topic everyone can contribute to!

It will go under soon, but at least I can say "Yes IG, you tried your best"

It's quite possible that there already is such a thread, but it's either locked or old. I just hope it's not a sticky, because I tend to ignore those (they can't be important, see?)


Tell me the secret behind your Internet handles. What does it mean? How did you get the idea for it? Which mod did rename you just to spite you?

Back in 2006 when I changed my nickname to InsaneGenius it was originally supposed to be Sanguine Melancholic, or Melanguine*(due to Last.fm's 12-letter limit, which was the site I signed up on at that time). More or less for the hell of it. Because it somehow describes my personality but at the same time doesn't at all.
I decided to change it to InsaneGenius because, a few clich?s and conclusions later, it would still hold the same meaning.

I also think it's interesting to see how people refer to me. Some call me Insane, others call me Genius. And some go for IG.
I'm not sure whether this shows what people think of me or if it's just coincidence.

Most of you guys know the origins of my nickname so here is a condensed version.

Got drunk, used last name as pick up line. The end

Meister 04-18-2010 04:51 PM

I'm just always terrible at picking names.

Melfice 04-18-2010 04:55 PM

I really liked the character Melfice from Grandia 2.

There's more to it now, but back when I signed up, that was it.

Doc ock rokc 04-18-2010 05:02 PM

Doc Ock because he used to be my favorite villain...and Rokc to make myself unique...
honestly I respond to Doc alot more then my Real name. I like being called Doc.

Julford Hajime 04-18-2010 05:55 PM

When I was 15 I was like hardcore weeaboo. Like my GOD I was terrible. I'd run around adding "-chan" to fucking EVERYTHING, not to mention desu. Dark days, those.

Anyway, I had to make up an original character for some Inuyasha-based (Or maybe Suikoden? I forget >.>) RP. So I started randomly arranging letters around in my head, and eventually came to Julford. I liked it, and kept it for the first name. Then I decided I wanted a Japanese-sounding last name for the character, and picked Hajime using random syllables. I later found out it was an actual word, but I didn't know the meaning then. Then I made him a moogle, because I love moogles >.>

So yeah. Julford Hajime was originally just a terribly out-of place moogle in a Inuyasha/Suikoden RP forum. I just kinda kept the name and used it for my own as I traversed the internet, hopping from forum to forum.

mine was mostly frustration/sloth induced. Back when I was 12 I was making up crappy stories, what with being twelve and all, and since names have ALWAYS been my weakness one of my designs got aerozord slapped on it. Fast forward to my early internet days and the annoyance of trying handle after handle just to get on a forum I finally thoughts, screw it, I made up the name so I know its not taken, and then just kept using it.

Aldurin 04-18-2010 06:02 PM

Why should I spoil it for you instead of seeing who is curious enough to go through weeks upon weeks on internet research to find the meaning behind my username?

Magus 04-18-2010 06:05 PM

Magi in general are pretty awesome, there is also Magus from Chrono Trigger and the magus from The Thief, which was an awesome book.

Every time you post I think of Power Rangers and picture you as the (Usually pink) ranger with the flying Zord.
