I've been wondering what was your reason for the forum username you have now? The forums are still small enough were all single word names and good usernames aren't taken. Yet I see people with x's in their name. Why make it like that if you have so many options! Anyway, what was your reason for choosing your username? My reason was I couldn't think of anything good and this was the first thing that popped up in my head.
I've been using mine for years on various forums and communities. It's a nerdy variation of my first name Diana.
Prior to running as BallisticDad I was always a proud Jew (still am) and I used many "jew" usernames and gamertags. Some of them were, JewJitsu, Jewbacca, Jewtastic... Jew puns were my think. After getting my into my newest job, which I consider a career, I found myself being asked for my XB GT by a coworker. I thought that the whole jew pun this was getting old and childish, so I told him I would text it. Went home and changed my GT. I am a Dad in RL, with one lovely 2 1/2 year old daughter (who at the time was 2 months old), so I was high on being a Dad. I first tried "JewDad" (nah Im kidding)... My first try was something like KillerDad, and of course this was taking. After about an hour of trying different things I came across BallisticDad as an option and it stuck.
An "ail" is street slang for a person who has track marks all over their arms. Back when I was in the meth scene, I was notorious for my track marks because my veins are so hard to get to that I'd have to prick myself all over repeatedly just to inject. I just took this moniker and combined it with my name, Liam, and that's how I got my username.
Well my favorite game is legend of zelda and well Link is epic so I have been using that name from the start of my long gamming life XD also its my username. My only worry is that ben would stalk me one day ... creepy
My nick is at the same time my GT. And my GT was a suggestion of my XBOX (took it cuz I'm lazy if it's not importent) when i recently started playing online and there are way too many John's around on the Internet so i would have to go all out on the x's and numbers
Oh didn't know there was already a thread about this! Sorry, but no problem in having 2 different threads! Decreases inbreeding.
All of my names have been from anime series…. I started with Sumomo from Chobbits I used to use that for everything!!!! I swear every site I go to it is taken so I always add numbers to the end. Natsu is from another anime series that I really enjoy. The character resembles me a lot.
Oh wow! My xbox suggested name was UplandUniform1. I kept that thing for 2 weeks then finally changed it to ThatAmazingIdea... since im amazing and my ideas are suicidally successful and stupidly effective. Suggested names are stupid in my opinion
It was a chilly night on November 21, 2012. I was innocently parousing the Internet in search of information on a newly acquired game, CoD BO2. It was then that I had stumbled upon the great forum and met some pretty cool people as well as some very eccentric ones. Some of them are here now. I'm getting off topic, my username didn't take long to think of and I do not know how I came up with it. It just came to me and has been my internet identifier ever since, as well as my Cat. Previously a Mudkip, until I decided to venture away from the Mudkip avatar and venture into a new realm of awesomeness.
I've been using mine for some time now on twitter and blogspot. It's a variation of a term "useful idiot". From Wiki, which explains it quite good: a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause (often attributed to Lenin). : The term has been used in a similar sense as fellow travellers and other Communism or Soviet Union sympathizers in Western countries during the Cold War. The implication was that, although the people in question naïvely thought of themselves as standing for a benign socialist ideological cause, and as valued allies of the Soviet Union, they were actually held in contempt and were being cynically used by the Communist Party of Soviet Union for subversive activities in their native Western countries. The use of the term in political discourse has since been extended to other propagandists, especially those who are seen to unwittingly support a malignant cause which they naïvely believe to be a force for good. It's a long tale involving talks about politics and personal beliefs, why I chose this name, so I will restrain from explanation for now (who gets it - gets it plus, it's fun to know people are being fragged by idiots
Well, mine is the same as xblive tag wich I have had for a good 5-6 years. Chose it because I'm a pretty loopy guy that's a very manly 5'2" tall, and my wife's a Scott. So I get called wee man quite a bit.
i was pretty angry at the world when my brother died. he used to call me Tuff. he thought i was always trying to act hard because i used to come off as pretty boy. after he died me and my other brother were sitting up drinking and a commercial for Rubbermaid(yes the plastic container) popped up with Chuck Norris in it...my name just so happens to be chuck also btw. and there in bold letters it said Tough Meets Classy. history was made, babies cried in joy and and angels wept. A Legend Was Born....sike nah. figured i'd give you guys a laugh lol. had this name for years though. Me and this name go back like hairlines.
This is pretty much a given, my username is because Iron Man is my favourite Avenger. At the moment my gamertag isn't tied to it as of yet but I'm getting around to it as soon as we've sorted our team name. Razgriz is down to being a fan of Ace Combat and the story of the 5th game was my all time favourite. However thanks to being stalked and receiving abusive messages (no thanks to ex-eSports fame lmao I kid, but last week's encounter made it to the 11th time I've had to set the record straight and fend off abusive behaviour) starting to think a new handle is a welcoming change.
