Forums → The Tavern → How did you come up with your username?

I got mine in a boring day with my mind lacking creativity and just wanted to rate games here. T.T

Um, I think miguelin11 posted in the wrong thread.

I suppose his username is derived from his name, though I might be wrong.

idk it was just like a spark that went off in my head. I am actually very smart and i love irony and the word "dude" is my favorite word so HalfWittedDude was born.

The first letter of my name, with my last name Abello and 11 cause thats how old i was. also its fun to say jabello. ja bell oh

Well my real name is Yonatan that explains the Yon, and my bro called himself Zidokid so I took the kid and it's Yonkid.

I used it because on Pokemon whenever anyone ask me anything I reply, "Soundproof Battlearmor" and Battlearmor was used.

My username is one of my favorite bands and it was available so I went ahead and used it.

I like Zombies and my Friends says that im a freak when it comes to video games

I looked at the Logo

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away...

Ooops wrong story.

Y'see.... Back in the mists of time, when I used to play Maple Story. I decided to join an IRC room that fans had created. Lacking a suitable name (I went by Xchron back then) - I NEEDED a good name, that could be used in that IRC and around the growing, pulsating mass that is the interwebz. I spent a while searching for the name that felt just right when I found the name Avorne - the Slavic word for Maple tree. Me (being the genius that I am) decided Maple tree + Maple story = Maple. Maple = Avorne and Avorne = My new name!

And that is the epic, epic ballad of how Avorne came into being. Of course, I could tell you about the incident with the dyslexic badger and the conjoined porcupines... But I won't bore you with that.

Stole it from a friend.

But, he got it when we were registering for Rakion Online. We were in a internet cafe. Beside us, there was a huge sign that said "No Shouting, No Gambling, No Porn Sites"

"nopornsites" sounded stupid and "nogambling" just didn't sound good. So he chose "noshouting".

It sounded cool so a year after he stopped using it. I claimed it.

Mine's an inside joke.

People in my school started calling me leet in the 3rd grade, I didn't know what it meant so I looked it up.

(most commonly 1337 bit often also leetspeak, leetspeek, or l33t) from the phonetic form of the word "elite"

Why do they call you leet in the first place?

That's the question.
