I got 'Napiform' because I used to be really into things that are in the sky and using the right word to describe something.

 

Napiform is the only word to describe certain clouds.

 

I also initially had no intention of making friends or associating any part of the internet with this site, so I had a different name for all my other stuff. Now, I have multiple Napiform-y thingies.

 

 

 

Where did yours come from?

    My original username was Harmony, got it from MLP:FiM.

    I then changed my username to Aisaka because of a character in the anime, Toradora! xD

    My name is derived from my actual web handle which is Yungthuggin89 shortened to Yungthuggin shortened to just Yung since that's what most people call me. Yungthuggin89 was coined as my Gamertag for Xbox Live by my step-dad the very first time I'd ever met him. He was making fun of me for my new nickname at school that some redneck kids on the bus started calling me. From that Yungthuggin was my gamertag but at the time it was taken so I had to add the year of my birth to the end.

    I would just use Yungthuggin but then people say Yunghuggin a lot for some reason which is okay just a little too cuddly for my taste. (They mispronounce it online quite often as Yunghuggin on XBL) We'd also have Scot always posting after I did saying, "Got that thuggin love."

    Anyway... that's where Yung comes from. It is a strong identifier to my online persona. You can find out more about all this in the Remembering Your Roots thread.

    Keil is a phonological derivation from the first syllable of my first first name by my younger brother when he was two. (pronounded KAIL like hail or trail)

    Thanks for the pronunciation. I pronounce it 'Kyle' or 'Keel' depending on my mood.

    My original display name was "Dower" because I was thinking about the Dow Jones Industrial Average when I made this account.

     

    As I got more interested in Codex I needed a less bad display name, thus Neoquest was born.

    On an actual note; there was a user with the name Adam, and he hadn't been active for over 2 years and he only had a few posts. I asked an admin if I can have the name, and they deleted the other persons account so I could have Adam xD.

    I came up with mine for Codex by referencing my XBL tag, too (Strategi5t). I also have a bit of a passion for Strategy games, hence the name Strategist. I have thought about changing it a few times, however, so many people know me as Strategist or Strat now, it would be pointless. I pronounce it Strat-eh-jist, cos I'm Aussie and thats just how we say it. You Murican's have a tendency to say Strat-EEE-Jist -_- :p

    For some reason when I was 13 I thought Turnip was a good name for some shitty Omegle-like thing! I've pretty much always called things after fruits/vegetables/other foods because I'm terrible with names hahaha :p It just stuck around and then like three years later I joined this forum and it was available~

    Mine comes from one of my OCs (original characters) I made for anime fanfiction. And I have a ton of OCs hanging around for fanfiction, and not just anime fanfiction.

    Pronunciation: Sat-sue-key.
