Yeah the title says it all. Usually I hate titles, as they're a useless denomination of words. But today's is good.

Anyway, me first.

My username comes from my earliest days on the internet. Internet access was available in dialup form from the time I was a kid, but broadband access came when I was around 9. I had just read Harry Potter. So when I got on the internet and started Yahooing (because google didn't yet have 90% market share) I found fanfiction - a creative yet restricted form of fiction writing that makes for interesting reading. One of my favorite authors was named silverphoenix. I chose a username with a color and an animal to match.

The red lion has a certain significance, but its antiquated to have an imaginary friend. He is my alterego - the courageous knight slaying anglo-saxons. The king of Powys flew a red lion rampant on a field of or.

Until i wikipedia'd red lion I didn't know that "Red Lion is the name of over six hundred pubs, outnumbered only by The Crown[6].[7] It thus can stand for an archetypal British pub." I've been to Britain. I never left London, but that was because of tube bombings. Not my fault I saw plenty of pubs, but I never saw a redlion.

How about you?

[iargue]

Its because iargue.


A friend made it when he created me a wow account. Lol.

[Drakonid]

A friend took mine when he registered ages ago (Drakonid), so when I came here, I took over his.

[Philly]

Philly looks a hell of a lot like my real name, though not quite. What a lovely story

[ShadowLink64]

I liked Legend of Zelda a lot six years ago? (I still do, but I haven't played much of it lately. )

[Drakonid]

By the 64 I'll have to ask:
MM or OoT?

OoT (MM is alright but I got bored with it)

[Drakonid]

I played MM before OoT, not sure why, and to be honest, I found MM far better than OoT.

[jcrdude]

Wow mine seems boring compared to yours.

I was 11 and uncreative (having not had proper music exposure yet). So I came up with my initials + gender. And then I opened my hotmail account.

I started with underscores (J_C_R_BOY) but moved away from those because not all username fields support underscores.

Once I realized that noone anywhere ends up being JCRBoy but me... then I knew I had a keeper.

[Crepe]

This is a real interesting topic. Now I want to go to have a drink at the Red Lion.

Todd

Penny dreadful motha fucka.

Uh, I was 14 when I first got the internets at home. I know, I was SO OLD, right?
I was really into Team Rocket, and went onto this one Pokemon board. I tried to think of something that sums me up as a person, because I didn't want to be ILuvEeves84, and so I thought, "I love punk rock music, and no one can ever get me to shut up." So punkrockbigmouth. People had a hard time with it, because it's so long, but I really don't give a fuck.

[Dan]

My current username is relatively straightforward - it's a nickname of my real name, Daniel.

I previously had LemonyBrainAid though... that one is an anagram of my full name. (Daniel Robin May = Lemony Brain Aid)

[LeeEn]

LeeEn was the name I used for my English test. The part where you can put any name under "Yours sincerely".

[Boggart]

Mine was create for my WoW account. I'm so cool

My favourite type of weapon are bow and arrows, but didn't want to use "bow", so I used "boh".

And then I used another shield reference to put "gaurd"

Then I realized i spelled "guard" wrong haha.

The name stuck

[GreenScissors]

[talbs]

[Mr. Hobo]

Originally ToxicHobo because I thought it brought up a cool mental image (like 4 years ago )

Got tired of getting called Toxi Chobo or ToxicHomo so I changed it to Mr. Hobo because you bitches best respect me

[Melchoire]

My friend was in a play called "Spring Awakening". One of the characters was named "Melchior". But I'm always thinking about changing my display name

How about you?

Dude you've had the same username, avatar and sig for as long as I can remember. The only other person who can boast that would be Hydro and his sig....and Noit

[outsidedream86]

It's a general username I've used for about 7 years. It's my birth year, plus lyrics from these fine gentlemen:
