Okay so I was thinking one day (cue for applause) when I asked myself: I wonder where most of these people's usernames come from? I mean some of them are probably plays on people's real names, but others may have long and complicated histories. Anyway, I invite everyone to present a discription of how they came up with their username. --ZB 15:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Zombiebaron: Okay I'll go first, my name came from a character in a game I used to play. I used to be unbeatable with my Zombiebaron...oh those where the days. Anyway, when I was younger, I thought "Why not get an email?". But then I was like "I need something no one has taken." (Because numbers are so ugly) So I looked around my room, and saw my beutiful miniture. The rest, as they say, I'll leave up to your imagination. --ZB 15:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hindleyite. Mine's dead boring - nothing to do with the Moors Murders, but my town of residence. A (fairly) common name for people from Hindley. --Hindleyite | PL | CUN | Converse 16:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Orion Blastar My name came from a Space Pirate I played in the role playing game of Traveller. It is spelled Blastar because I wanted a unique name and I put Blast and Star together to make Blastar. --2nd_Lt Orion Blastar (talk) 16:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- CartoonDiablo well I was a giant fan of Adult Swim and still am and wanted to join the forums so I wanted an odd "Cartoony" name but wanted to sound cool so I wanted to bring in demons to the mix. Then I thought hey Diablo sounds cooler then demon so there came my name and sounded cool so I just stuck to it. -- CartoonDiablo

- MoogleEXE It came from when I tried to sign up on GameFAQs, I liked Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles at the time, I liked Megaman Battle Network, and I liked computers, so I tried Moogle.EXE, but I screwed up, so then I used MoogleEXE...and well...here I am. --Moogle.EXE 19:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- 02BarryC The name comes from 3 parts:- My nick name, "Oz", which when turned into leet spelt 02, the Barry part comes from the acronym "Beyond All Reasonable Recognition?: Yes!" and the C? - well, I'll leave that part up to you. --The Rt. Hon. BarryC MUN (Symposium!) Sigh. Double Sigh. 19:54, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- keitei is the romanization of ケイテイwhich is a Japanese form of "Katie". I used to be all paranoid about using my name online, so I used that, which is almost as close as it gets. --KATIE!! 20:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Insertwackynamehere It was 8th grade and I was just learning html. I put down my Creating Web Pages for Dummies as I stared at the Yahoo Geocities registration screen. "What should my online name be?" I thought. I had never had to do this before (except when I was a lot younger and wanted my own email and tried going by Samuel backwards 'Leumas' I believe). I stared at the screen. Then it hit me! I can't think of name, so I'll let others think of it for me! Everyone has stupid names online followed by numbers, so why not put "Insertwackynamehere57" as my username? It sounds just like the stupid names people really use! Later on another messageboard I used "insertwackynamehere#" cause the number could be inserted as well. Later it was changed to "insertwackynamehere." Or "inswackynamehere." Or "insertwackyname." Or "wacky" or "insert." Yeah.. heh, its been over 3 years since I started surfing the net regularly and this name has been with me pretty much the whole time. --Maj Sir Insertwackynamehere CUN VFH VFP Bur.

- Tompkins. I made it up... in my head. unfortunately, it was later stolen by the evil cartoonists behind "Homestar Runner."

- Actually, I was in eighth grade when some of the kids in my alegebra class started calling me Tompkins. I was pretty short back then, and I had somewhat of a "bowl cut" going on... I guess I looked kinda of like Tompkins. Of course that was before I had ever even heard about Homestar Runner, so when I muttered "... taller than you" they decided that I would be forever christened Tompkins. t o m p k i n s blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 01:53, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Composure1 It's actually a pretty boring story, but the bottom line is that 8 years ago someone referred to me as "Mr. Composure" because I was so calm and composed. I wanted to make it an AIM screenname, but at the time the maximum screenname length was 10 (and MrComposure is 11 letters long). "Composure" was taken, so I made it "Composure1" and I've used it as an overall internet name ever since.--Composure1 00:45, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Todd Lyons. ~ Was just some jerk who caught the business end of my baseball bat when he wandered into my neighbourhood. You'd be surprised how simple it is to assume someone else's identity when they're stupid enough to carry every bit of plastic they have in one wallet. Anyway, I have to spread lime in my crawlspace every month or so to keep the smell down, but so far no interest from the police, or any relatives. Apparently he wasn't close with his mother. Happy Mothers Day, everyone. :) Hope you sent her something nice, just in case you take a wrong turn down a dark alley someday. ~ T. (talk) 00:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC) P.S. This is B.S. ~ T.

- Hardwick Fundlebuggy It all began at an all night craps game with Telly Savalas and William Shatner. Telly had all his hair back in those days. It was golden and flowing, like a waterfall made of spaniels. But he knew it would all go, and it bugged him so he kept on asking Bill to mix him another Manhattan. I figured I would cheer him up with a joke, so I said "Hey, you know what's on the telly tomorrow?" and Telly said "What?" and I said "Nothing!". That was when things got ugly. Then the shooting started. Anyway, the next day I woke and decided to call myself Hardwick Fundlebuggy. --Sir Hardwick Fundlebuggy (Bleat) 08:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hardwick Fundlebuggy Please ignore what I wrote above. I was out of my mind of jugbusters at the time. The truth is that Hardwick Fundlebuggy is a character in a short story I wrote. He's the head of personnel at Supercharger Condominium Inc. But you would have to know the story. --Sir Hardwick Fundlebuggy (Bleat) 08:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

- Dawg - Short version of the only nickname I was ever given that stuck, which was E Dawg. I was given the nickname by the biggest, beefiest, black guy you've probably ever seen. I'm a small/passive guy, but he liked me a lot for some reason, and affectionately called me by my nickname and did a most peculiar "woof woof woof" sound to greet me. Hence my nick. 08:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Zork Implementor L: My first name begins with L, and I like to edit Game:Zork. The choice of the word "Implementor" is left as an exercise to the reader. --L
- Codeine: Contary to popular supposition, my username doesn't indicate a predilection for opioid abuse. It stems from an addiction to Final Fantasy VII when I was at university in 1998, during which I had the (amusing to me at the time) idea of renaming all the characters after various prescription drugs - so the main character Cloud Strife became "Codeine", Barratt was renamed "Ibuprofen", Aeris was "Morphine" and so forth. The "Codeine" thing stuck as a handle/nick since then. (Jesus, it's been 8 years! It's official, I have no life.) -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 13:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Savethemooses: There was a time I had a different IM screenname for every day of the week. It was an addiction. One day, though, I had the realization that there were no Mooses in Kansas anymore! I decided to start a faux environmentalist movement to save the moose population in Kansas, beginning and ending with my screenname. Savethemooses is my screenname for quite a few forums and in other capacities on the net. So it has remained pretty consistent for me. And "mooses" came from my love for grammar. -- 14:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ghelæ: It'd from an ancient language from about 3000BC, and it means 'golden', 'yellow', or 'shiny'. Really, it's that simple.
~ 14:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC) - Ialdabaoth: I stole this name from the infamous demiurge of Gnostic lore. To date, he hasn't demanded it back. The name is thought to be a corruption of the Aramaic yalda bahut, "child of chaos," which is kinda cool in itself dontcha think? -- Ialdabaoth 15:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- SimulacrumCaputosis: Ooo, this is going to be long. So, it all began over 7 years ago. Pokémon was on the rise, and I was swept up with the rest of the juvenile world. My favorite monster quickly became Cubone, for reasons pretty much unknown. My friend ran this message board at the time, and everyone there RP'd with Pokémon-related screen names. When he invited me, I decided to call myself "Phantom Cubone" (as the creature was associated with the dead to begin with). Everyone developed a second, darker persona, based roughly on their first (i.e., the same general type of monster but the dark side). Name changes seperated the personas, and so I decided to use Latin for my new avatar. Keep in mind, I wasn't proficient, for all I knew came from a dictionary. Anyone, "phantom" translated well enough to "simulacrum", but obviously "Cubone" wasn't going to come out right. I got "-osis" for bone, but Cu? Well, I looked at Cubone's distinguishing features, and the skull helmet came out the most prevelant. Thus, I decide to use the latin for skull, or "caput." Butting everything together, I got Simulacrum Caputosis. He then evolved into a character of my own fictions, and I've become rather attached to the guy. In fact, he's not even a Pokémon in my writing anymore, and according to the history I created for him, never was. Granted, he wears a skull upon his head, but I came up with a unique explaination for that quirk. ~SimulacrumCaputosisTheGreat*moan* F@H MUN CM NS 15:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- DeathByPie: I saw a store named Death by Chocolate. Later, when I was thinking of a name to use on a forum, I remembered that store name, and changed chocolate to pie, because pie kicks arse.

- sannse: I was trying to register at a busy site, and every name I could think of was taken. I kept being given the option of being "frog245" or "I_am_me456x". I AM NOT A NUMBER! <ahem>. So I sat putting in random-ish letters that seemed to make a name-like nick and that no one else had used. I was very nearly xylande, but sannse seemed a bit more me. -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 20:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- AsteroidB612. An asteroid discoverd by a turkish astronomer. Too bad that isn't my actual nickname. If I knew I was going to stay fo so long I would have picked something better than the lame one I have now.--Rataube 20:29, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- gwax: Beginning of first name, "G", concatenated with the phoneticized beginning of my last name "Waks"=>"Wax" becomes GWax but domain names don't do capitals, so "gwax". Basically, it's the shortest unique representation of my real name that I could come up with. --Sir gwax (talk) 20:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Flammable This name comes from several places. Firstly, it was the product of an annoying orientation intoduction thing, in which I said the most interesting thing about me was that I was, of course, Flammable. Secondly, it's a product of my previous tendencies toward argumentative pugilism in discussion boards; the fact that my own statements typically never degenerated into ad hominems and nonsequiturs usually resulted in me being rather flame-able and as such, I figured this nom de plume was apropo. Lastly, it's a great game nick, good for a laugh in FPSes or MMOs.--Sir Flammable KUN (Na Naaaaa...) 20:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Witt E, I love humor, and as such love spreading humor. Also, I am a lover of word games such as palindromes, anagrams and ambigrams and have even put in a few palindromes in some articles. My original account was Witt E but one day I forgot the password and instead of an entirely new account name I picked the same one as before with just one minor difference...hence the comma in my name.--Witt E, 22:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

- SirNuke Heh, I was playing C&C Red Alert online. If anyone recalls that game, the nukes were much cooler looking than useful. One of my opponents called me some variation of "Sir Nuke" after I used a nuke on him, taking out most of his army. I am not sure why I started writing it as one word, but the name stuck.--SN W | T 03:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- theRealSheep: Not actually that exciting to know that I am a truly exisiting being of the ovine species. Unfortunately, I did all my best work on Uncyclopedia late last year, but I like to hang around in case I think of something funny one day. Though, you should keep a look out for theFakeSheep.

- FreeMorpheme is a technical description for a specific type of word, or 'language unit' if you're a linguist. I came across it at school when I was into The Prisoner, and the rest is history. Also, it means I get my own page on Wikipedia, and 1337 users ofen hail me with cries of 'yeah, man, free drugs for me too!'. Except in leet, or IM speech, you know.

- Isra1337: Many English Bibles use hyphenation to cram an extra syllable into each line. I guess with something that long it saves them pages. Anyhow, the word "Israelite" appears often enough that I started to giggle every time I saw it hyphenated as "Isra-" on one line and "elite" on the next. This is mainly because I am incapable of saying the word "elite" in any but the nerdiest of voices. Since 1337 means leet means elite, my screenname became Isra1337. After a while I got really embarassed about having 1337 in my name and started going by Isra. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 01:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- splitmyselfin2: The first reason I chose this name is because the name is a song by a band called Meat Puppets about a guy being delt cards that dictate his future (I think that's what its about). The second reason is that I enjoy hurting myself. It makes me feel cleansed.--Splitmyselfin2 02:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Bradaphraser. My name is Brad, and a friend of mine always used to tell me I had the wierdest way of "Bradaphrasing" things (or saying things in such a strange way that only I would think of). Thus, I became the Bradaphraser, though I no longer fight evil, I just kinda lay around and type a lot now.--<<>> 16:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Kalir Made it up when I got a GB Zelda game that wouldn't accept my former, six-letter name Gorkel. Yeah, that was one hell of an improvement right there.

- Olipro - Well, I was assigned to a project to work on at some point in the wild past, and it just so happened that nobody really had any relevant knowledge to work on the project at the time since their skills didn't go past hitting the on button of the computer. So, I named it Oliver's Project, but, being a stickler for abbreviated stuff, as all techies do, I renamed the directory with all the crap in to Olipro, and people noticed it and used it here and there, making me think hey, that's pretty nifty! that'd make a pretty cool net name and so, here I am... (I would try to drag the story out more, but I'm out of ideas) --Olipro Anchor (Harass) 23:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Tripod2282 - The "Tripod" part comes from H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" which is about an alien invasion of earth. The aliens use giant walking machines with three legs called "tripods" that are equipped with heat rays that, if you've seen the Speilberg movie, are really cool. "2282" is my street address.

- Mindspillage - I got tired of getting attached to names and then going to use them somewhere else and finding out they were taken, so I figured I'd make up a word so it would 1) never be taken somewhere else and 2) always be me (as opposed to all the people who share my real name). At the time I kept a blog (this was back before I got addicted to wikis instead) and was looking for a name for it. So I thought "spill your guts", except that I didn't write about anything emotional, just assorted thoughts—so "spilling my mind" became "mindspillage".

- Sliferjam - I have very little idea what it means, but I might know where it came from. Two ideas.
- The Divine Fluffalizer - A few years ago, two things happened: 1. Either me or a friend of mine first began what has become a since-running in-joke between us and a few more, including an online friend (the one responsible for originally writing Fluffalization); describing things as fluffy, and using fluff and derived terms for various things. 2. For the heck of it, I declared myself The Holiest Being In The Universe. A year or two thereafter, I and some others began concocting crazy concepts during a couple of incoherent story games on a forum. I thought up a lot of rather... interesting stuff, which was repeatedly used and further developed. The concept of fluffiness was taken to a whole new level with the advent of The Holy Broken Chair of Fluffiness and related ideas. (the articles of that and related things are part based upon those weird stories once made, though containing no more of them than various references. except for Fluffies, which was originally a completely separate article, later adopted into the larger series and further developed) At some point further on, when and where originally I do not know, I gave myself the title of Fluffalizer, ie. bringer of fluffiness, someone who makes things fluffy. Concidering myself mock-holy, I soon added an extended form of the title: The Divine Fluffalizer. These two names have then gradually become the ones to replace my old one on new communities that I have joined. -- 04:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

- Sikon dates back to school. I was writing a programmer language interpreter and needed a cool name, so I pulled a Zend and constructed "Sikon" from the first syllables of my two classmates, who actually had nothing to with the program. After a while, I started using it to refer to myself, although I used other nicks before. My IRC nick, LucidFox, is a rather recent invention, but it's another story. For now, let's just say it's more easily googlable. - User:Guest/sig 10:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Tooltroll - 15-odd years ago, I was the maintenance guy in an apartment building, and had a damp smelly little workshop/office/storage room in the basement. One day I came in to work, and somebody had painted "Lair of the Tool Troll" on the door. So I repainted the door and had a proper sign made up, and I've used it ever since. ••••• I my cat! 14:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Strange but untrue was the name of my first website, where I told funny lies startlingly similar to the ones I tell on here. It's still far too findable using Google for my liking. Also, it's a really good username and nobody ever seems to take it for signups. --Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 01:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- High Gen. Grue I used to love military stuff, and I loved to play the real Zork. Beat it. I was going to be "High General Zork, but I like Grues. But now, I'm a Star Wars fanboy. I wished I could change it "Han Solo" but High Gen. Grue rules as well.

- Cainad is one of my many names, derived from the ancient mystical practice of sticking a bunch of phenomes together with duct tape. To this day I am unsure of how to pronounce it, but nevertheless it is the name I use for pretty much everything. --The Acceptable Cainad (Fnord) 07:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- 15Mickey20. Mickey is my nickname from university. One of my housemates couldn't remember my name at first and just went for the first one beginning with "M" he could think of. Somehow it stuck. The 15 and 20 originally come from the character 15Peter20 in the British sitcom, Nathan Barley. -- 15Mickey20 (talk to Mickey) 18:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

- Heerenveen. When I first clicked on Create Account, I had the WP artice on the Dutch Eredivisie on another tab. I couldn't think of anything to put, so looked at that tab. Heerenveen was the pick. Thought it sounded the most catchy. It's a shame, as I now have the same username for everything but this. 04/8 22:27
- BreakDancer. One of my hobbies is topdancing, often mistaken for breakdancing. Hence my username. Psst! I'll let you on a little secret! I am not as old as 99 in my User Page. The man in the chair is not actually me, but you Uncyclopedians should be street-wise enough to know that we users can lie about their age and appearance either way younger or older! :D BreakDancer 01:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

- Dr. Skullthumper. My username came from a skit my friend and I did in drama class, entitled Doctor Skullthumper. Interestingly, neither of our characters were named Skullthumper, but it was still an awesome name for a skit. For those who are wondering, it involved a psychologist and a nervous patient. The psychologist convinced the nervous patient to go out into the waiting room (the audience) and tell them exactly what comes to his mind. He walks out and monologues, insulting each audience member in turn ("Hey buddy, it looks like you just won a 100-yard dash in a 90-yard gym!") until he finally annoys the psychologist and leaves cured. It was a lot of fun to do — drama is filled with fond memories. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 00:27 Dec 18, 2007
- AE - I was never into AIM so I didn't have a screename. At other websites, when I registered an account, the names I chose were completley random. When I registered an account at Uncyclopedia, I was initally going to register as "AlligatorEater", but than I decided to shorten to "AE". -- 00:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

- Thekillerfroggy -- I forgot where I first used this... it might have been in Diablo or Warcraft III. Whatever the case, one day I was bored and typing random words into the address bar and slapping a ".com" on at the end. killfrog.com ended up being a hit, I found some of the cartoons somewhat nifty, and I needed a new name for my new Diable/Warcraft account. The rest, as they say, is history. -- 04:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

- Jim Groovester. When I was a wee little
lasslad I was engaging in the creation of a man in The Sims. The last name was Groovester, because that sounded cool to a twelve year old. The first name was Jim, by mere coincidence. Once I entered the exciting world of online competitive gaming, I was searching for names and remembered that little piece ofcrapgold. Sir Groovester | Contributions | Talk Page 12:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC) - pieface. Well, my favourite username is really pietopper, which is an unimaginative concatenation of my first name and last name, but people confuse it with pie topping which is fun and I don't mind it much. But for some reason, probably due to the influence of an ill-natured fairy or some malicious impostor or sockpuppet, I was not allowed to have pietopper, so I changed it to pieface in honour of slapstick comedy, which is the most I could ever aspire to. In a cruel twist of fate, I am also not allowed to use pieface in the chatroom, so I never go there, which is why I have never been even close to being banned. I think that about covers it.

- THEDUDEMAN. Came from my 8th grade class washington DC trip when we saw this guy flying a trick kite/ kiteboarding kite in the mall. Sence some of my friends are kiteboarders, we stoped and talked to the guy and he actualy spoke like one of those surfer guys in the movies, saying dude, man, like, and totaly more than a normal person should. He later because refered to as "the dude man" And when i created this account, i was thinking of that. Also, we got his kite stuck in a tree.--Lieutenant THEDUDEMAN Dude ...

- Wehpudicabok - How have I not added myself to this page before? Oh well, it matters not. Wild Arms is my favorite video game series. At one point in the first game, you get a magic wand, and when you use it, it makes this crazy sound effect. Like, really crazy. My onomatopoeic attempt at spelling it was Wepudicabok at first, to which I later added an H for no reason whatsoever. I came to use it as a username because it has no meaning at all and is thus very cool. That the abbreviation that I use in my sig, "Wehp," is also "phew" backwards is an interesting coincidence. — Sir Wehp! (t!) (c!) — 00:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- THE - Well, I originally wanted to call myself "Skippy," but that name was taken. So I stared at my computer screen a little while, then typed in the word "THE," thinking I'd call myself THE...something. But I couldn't think of anything else. I stared at the word "THE" a little longer, thought "What the hell," and used it as a name. Skippy became the name of the main character in Grass in the Mist. In all honesty, I'm glad I didn't call myself Skippy. Saying "SKIPPY END" in IRC just wouldn't make sense. --THE 00:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Roman Dog Bird - It's a song by one of my favorite bands, the Melvins. I first used it on Wikipedia, and liked it enough to use it again here. Although, as you can see from my signature, I usually go by "Frankie" now, who is my favorite character on some stupid cartoon called Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which I don't really like as much as I did when I started calling myself "Frankie". -- Hi, hey!

- eralakiy I hit my head off the keyboard and these are the letters that came up.
- sleepygamer: Because it's been bumped, I might as well... I used to play a game called NeverWinter Nights... a lot. It was the first game I had ever stayed awake for over 24 hours nearly non stop playing. My first username had a lot of characters and numbers and whatnot, so I made a new one (also, my old name had been banned from a few servers for being so damn Über) so I sat there for a few minutes thinking and then typed "SleepyGuy". It was taken, so I thought, well screw you then, and typed in "sleepygamer". I didn't capitalise the word, nor did I put a space in between, "sleepy" and , "gamer". I was hardcore like that. Also, "Phencyclidine" came on IRC one day when Codeine was around. I became Co-Codamol, then a few other drugs, then Phencyclidine. I liked it. So as a mind bending drug I stay. Another one of my old nicks is dying_wolf. Don't ask me why. I wanted to sound hardcore whilst I played Enemy Territory. 19:18, Dec 23

- Lee Harvey Osmond From an episode of Beavis and Butt-head where they watch a Donny Osmond video and claim that his dad "killed one of the presidents or something".

And then I was like "I bet writing shit is also pretty awesome" so I made an account with wangs in it so RAHB would get a boner every time he saw me edit.

- When I was younger, I used to write little stories (usually 4 pages, with 4 chapters for each page. I always wrote in a paper with a pen, never with a computer.) about a cat called 'Sasu' (which was lately the name of one of my cats) and his friends. Oen of the catfriends was called as 'Kissa Kirjava', which is finnish and roughly translated means Cat Colourful (in that order). And, in some children's TV programs, animals are called as, for example, 'Tommy the Cat' (heh), Jack the Mouse, Fuck the Dog and so on, so I had to have my 'the' between Cat and Colourful. :) 17:28, 6 August, 2012 (UTC)
