Why/how did you choose your account name?

[kansurj]

Mine is simple, it actually is my name depending on how you read it.

I would especially like for sophist to answer this since he has yet to share much information about himself on this forum. Someone on this forum said you can only make a first impression once, and i have a hard time trusting/respecting someone that doesnt like to share information so i figured i'd call you out. :D

[LukkySe7en]

I live in Atlantic City, the second largest gambling city in America, and "LuckySeven" was taken...so LukkySe7en came to pass. (yes, my name on the boards is my acct name)

[Dlav123]

Well my accnt name would have been Dalv123 hence my name spelled backwards but i misspelled it and i became fond of dlav123 and it sounds better than dalv123.

I added the 123 because that like the oppisate of my accnt name vlad987.
srry for mispelling alot fo stuff and usin bad grammer cause im sick.

[LukkySe7en]

so you being sick...eliminates your grammar abilities online? Damn...that's one awful disease.

[Dlav123]

i dont have the streght to use proper grammer and spelling

[LukkySe7en]

rofl, good answer

[Sophist]

Sophist is just random, and refers to individuals from a long time ago, and it was completely arbitrary and completely unrelated to any other alias I have used in the online world, so it was perfect for the job, as it lets me be completely unbiased and indifferent in moderating this community. By keeping anything about "me" out of it, Sophist is just a moderator, and not someone's friend, someone's enemy, or someone anyone knows about. I can do my job and nothing about my life or past or history or relations with others or the community can impede it.

I know that really is not the answer you were looking for, but I'd rather answer your question as you asked it :)

[Skullcaptain]

My username: Skullcaptain has been taken by some bastard, so I just use my real name then. Daniel Sim, my real name ;)

[SkEpTiKaL]

Was doing my homework one day and found a sweet vocab word on the list: Skeptical. Back then I UsEd To TyPe LiKe ThIs, and Skeptikal looked better than Skeptical. Ergo, SkEpTiKaL.

[2.0]

Because...

My original (active) Username on these forums was Deathawaits, well that account got banned.

So, when they let me back in, they said I couldn't use my old account and had to make a new one. (Makes sense right? LOL) so, I made it DeathAwaits2.0.

But, everyone started calling me 2.0, so I asked to have it changed to 2.0.

Hella sick username imo.

would be nice if you contributed to the community some too, banning members isnt much of a contribution...

you'll never be like dom but you could be somewhat helpful in the field of answering questions/guides

no offense intended, just some "Constructive Criticism"

"RANDOMOCITY"

[Aaron]

My name is Aaron and......I R LAND SQUIRREL.

[SarG3]

I chose "SarG3" because my old acc name on here was "SaRg3_wAs_HeRe" and I thought that was too long.


So I went this way.

God, all you people keep stealing my old threads! :O First "Create Your Own Runewords", now this...*dies*

As for my name, meh...I honestly forget. I guess I just thought it sounded cool. :P

*Nibbles on kitten*

[Belhemel]

I chose my name after playing FF8 and fought a monster on there called a Belhelmel but I actually typed Belhemel. I was going to change but I grew to like it more. Still thinking of changing it though.

[Skullcaptain]

You can request it via PM to Admin :)

[Belhemel]

Yeah I know but not sure what I want yet.

[Wallenberg]

I just took something with the name kiss, so i went up to take the name kissrake :)

[icemanya]

Well at first i was Ice-13, but one day i thought to change and Icemanya was born! lol =P

Icemanya.

[kalenjder]

i have this user name because i always call my self kalenjder. it started last christmas i think, i was making a char and found out that kalenjder was a good name because kalender is the norwegian word for calender, and there i live we say kalenjder. kalenjder was a good name because it was christmas and i was thinking much on the christmas calender:D

[ThatCrazyDrummer]

My name is the forum name I use wherever I make a name on Forums really...it is my aim name, my e-mail name (if you add @aol.com...)

I like it because I am crazy and I am a drummer.

I like to think of it as if two people were talking they'd say...

Guy 1: "holy sh!t who was that guy? He just rocked my face off"

Guy 2: "he's that crazy drummer, you know that drummer that is crazy, that guy."

Guy 1: "damn, that drummer really is crazy, he just beat up some old lady just because she was in his way."

well that was very elaborate :)
i didnt have to put that much thought into my acc, kakashi is just 1 of my favorite chars on my favorite show

[yehaw]

Well my account name is womenaresexy (obvious reasons) and because they jsut are.

[Black Necro]

Well, i usually use Black Warrior as a username for other sites....or Bw1192 for emails.

And since this is a Diablo site and i like Necromancers i just took out the "Warrior" and put "Necro"

there wasnt much thought when trying to make the name though.

[Immortal_Daemon]

It all started back during Halo 1 days.

My old name used to be "Mike Hunt" (if you don't get it, you're not old enough to be on the internet) and then I changed it to Immortal_MH because I was so good at Halo (not bragging).

Then people said I played like a demon, so I changed it to Immortal_Demon. Then I found the latin spelling, which is "Daemon" so I kept that spelling, since it's cooler.

[jiggyjack]

I choose my name because a AM DJ here in the Cities would call idiots jiggyjack's. I liked it, I stole it. I worked hard to create my identity. I' glad I was able to reregister her before some Ahole stole it.

If you google jiggyjack thats all me except the moron on engage and Gilmore girls.

I tried to copyright the name and but the web domain but can you believe someone already bought it?!!! Probably jesse. I hate him.

[dainbramage]

dainbramage is a pretty simple pun, slightly more original than lysdexia, and less of a slap-in-the-face-with-a-large-brick, which (I hope) actually makes it somewhat amusing/charming.

[TheDOMINATOR]

"dainbramage" is a pun? I thought is was a satire. :P

[HiTS]

The handle comes from a cut down version of my usual one, Hole-in-the-sun, which relates to my avatar; a photo I took of a partial solar eclipse some time back. Before you ask, no, there is no digital enhancement involved.

[September 28, 1987]

It's a certain celebrity's birthdate. If who is not obvious enough, then we do not play D2 together.

And it is your mother.

He's Gunit
...

I was asking who the birthdate belonged to. (Jokingly of course)

I knew that was Gunit the second I saw the username, even before I read anything he had posted.

Edited quote a little because I didn't get the exact way you had it.

A clever one. :p

[Belhemel]

pun /pʌn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[puhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, punned, pun·ning.
–noun 1. the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words.


sat·ire /ˈsætaɪər/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sat-ahyuhr] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.
3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.

From the two I think dainbramage would be closer to a pun.

[Sophist]

I believe "Spoonerism" applies best to 'dain bramage' :)

[JaBaSh]

Jabash nick was born when certain person miscalled my last name long time ago during one occasion... I used "sh" because English language doesn't have a "š"

I started to use it in lot of Lan parties, spreading fear and terror between my QIIIArena opponents. Lot of IRL friends call me up to this day with that nickname, although many years passed since...

[Jordan]

Jordan, My name.

[Akount]

Because...

My original (active) Username on these forums was Deathawaits, well that account got banned.

wait wtf i thought u said u were GUNIT in another topic?

Aren't we all?

Anyways, name is self-explanatory (I hope). :p

hey wats up with you not having a big maroon name that u can click on

My name is the forum name I use wherever I make a name on Forums really...it is my aim name, my e-mail name (if you add @aol.com...)

im a crazy rock band drummer!

[HWS-pvpowner]

My last accname was also HWS-pvpowner so...

[Akount]

umm kinda lame for me, i still really dont like the name Akount that much but i stick with it, w/e. my first d2 account was called something like Bloodbath159 and then that got stolen when i was dumb enough to use my name as my password, and a "friend" guessed it. lol. anyways i didnt lose too much since i was pretty nooby. so i was making a new account and couldnt think wat to call it... i didnt like bloodbath... so i just called it Akount, just like account but with a small twist.

[prod689]

My original name was Deadlycough. Then because I was so new, someone got me with that stupid "hey whats ur kill stats?" I was like "whats that?" he says well just type /dnd then your acct name and password....so like an idiot i did..(god i feel stupid). Now my acct name is prd_689 on USEAST Ladder. Just chose that because of the song Prod by Mudvane and the 8 is like an infinity sign between 69, heh...

[DG.Havok]

Well my name dates back to Starcraft and it's carried over to basically all blizzard games.

It used to be [DG]Havok when you could put [ as the first character in your name but bliz stopped letting people do that. And my account expired from not going on it for a period of time so I had to make DG.Havok to replace it. I miss [DG]Havok. My friend still has his [DG]_|)estroyer and I hate him for that cause its a relic of the old Starcraft days which I wish I still had.

That and my old record. Sigh I'll never rack up a 1500-250 record again. While his is still 2000+ - 400. Yes I know his looks crappy but you lose skill after a while so you lose more games like that.

[horse]

I like horses.

[Nosferatu]

Uhh...

*FaygoKlown bc i used to use that on runescape.

Lol

*Potluck. bc I started listening to the underground rapper "Potluck" :D

[®@þþ3¬]

My name is Robert and my last name is Appel, so RAppel. After the reset someone used that username (RAppel) so I encrypted it with ®@þþ3¬ which happens to have been my msn name since I started using msn (6.0?).

Its written in 1337-sp33k which I thought was funny to use/write when I was a very active member of the official Blizzard (Diablo, battle.net) forums.

[Omnicide]

As I've told everyone multiple times by now. I was messing around with prefixes and suffixes of words and wanted something that sounded like it had a little power behind it.

omni=all
cide=death of

Think of it like homicide and genocide.

Homicide=Death of someone.
Genocide=Death of a group.

Put it together and you have "the death of all".

Turns out it was already a word...so I wasn't being original at all. Damn me.

[Oilerfan]

I like horses.

LOL

I like the Oilers..

[Daventry]

From the Mask of Eternity.

Because everyone in Daventry was turned to stone except for one wizard.

[orc_dragoon]

i chose my name because i played alot of warcraft which has orc's in it and i played a game called legends of the dragoon so i combined the 2 to make orcdragoon but it didnt look good so i put a under score to make orc_dragoon.

[eNtitY-]

my friend eNtitY~ inspired me
but since it doesnt work? i use eNtitY-

[Taurean]

Taurus is my birth sign ^_^ and therefore i am among the Taureans on this earth. I use that intensively ingame too.

[September 28, 1987]

It's a birthdate.

Oh SNAP.

If it`s the birthdate of your celebrity dream, she`s a Libra ^_^ They are widely known of having either a lot of outer and\or inner beauty...

Interesting.

And I like the intrigue of my name. New people won't catch on but the older ones seem too.

Taurean is also a bull, is it not?

[Taurean]

Yes i tend to bring up old good ones when i think the forum is getting slow and "worn"...

I`ve been around on this forum for a while you know ^_^ I hear things .... hehe...

I`m not sure about that one. Taurean .. a bull? Maybe you`ve heard about that somewhere. Gives me Avatar changing ideas ^_^

Ferdinand is a bull though xD Moo moo He should`ve been the "Cow king" - like there exists a Cow king .. Think of the name. It`s all wrong xD Cows are females

That's what you think.

It's an empty reward anyways...

So...instead I'll give anyone who correctly guesses the origins of my avatar/user name all my credits...all 0.90 of them.

[Dlav123]

There is a band called 3DS?

Boring guess, boring answer. :)

You didn't even try and link it to my avatar and explain how they were related.

Blind guesses won't get you anywhere. Research people...research.

[Taurean]

Here we go ^^ I managed to provoke an answer out of you. But, it didn`t make it too much easier.

Might be a name of a Rap-band or something.. but that`s still a bit blind answer.

Is there a prize for the winner ^^ =D ?

[3DS]

Ok...it has nothing to do with a band...or even music for that matter.

The prize is my entire bank account...all 0.90 credits.

[Taurean]

The sign on the skull is japanese for something.

And DS stands for Death Skull

The number 3 i know nothing about.

I want those credits ^^

[3DS]

None of the above.

No Japanese stuff...no 'death skull'...

2. In MGS1 Sniper Wolf is a HUGE boss, also my favorite. She captures Snakes girl, Meryl Silverburgh, neice of Roy Campell, and faces snake....twice. She ends up being lung shot by snake, sad I know, but dies with honor, courage, and her rifle.

and uhm, to add onto everyone's guessing and fun and, maybe for some, even stress....
