Lhathron the Elf Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Well, Since I read There and Back Again a couple years ago, I've been absolutely obsessed with everything Tolkien, so I decided to find out what my elf, hobbit, etc names would be. My hobbit name was Orgulas Took, which I didn't like as much as my elf name: Lhathron. Lhathron, by the way, means eavesdropper. When I found out that the name Lhathron was already taken, I decided on Lhathron the Elf instead. On Twitch and Steam you can find me as Lhathron, and on most other sites and games. I also sometimes call myself Legolas' brother and king of the Silvan elves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PakledHostage Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Mine is an attempt at cynical humor... I used to work for a company where I felt like I was being held hostage by Pakleds. I long since quit that job but the name has stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temporalExile Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Mine came from a username for a role-playing character of mine. I thought it was pretty cool, so I decided to use it as my new standard username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkwinif Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Oh gosh, this is gonna sound stupid, but...I got my username for all things internet from one of my sister's books, called Dear Dumb Diary. I was bored on a car ride home from vacation as a kid, okay!Anyways, I remember that the main character forgot the name of a kid, and I believe she called him "That Ugly Kid Whose Name I Forgot", or abbreviated, T.U.K.W.N.I.F. I saw that abbreviation and immediately put two more letters into it, making it "TURKWINIF". I have no idea why I stuck with this username, other than I like how it sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticCossack51 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) My username from QuizUp. I have Welsh blood so Celtic. Cossacks are cool so Cossack. 51 is my favourite number ever since i had an interest in UFOs and Aliens. (I did not spell favourite wrong I'm Canadian:cool:) Edited November 15, 2014 by CelticCossack51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman7918 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I don't know how I came up with "mikeman", my name isn't mike and I am not yet a legal adult so it makes no sense. I just thought it sounded cool, so I used it for almost every internet account that I have. The 7918 part has been many things at different points (mikeman333 and mikeman359) and I change the number to something more complicated whenever there is somebody else that has taken my username. At this point, I think that I am the only mikeman7918 in the world because it has been about 2 years sense I changed it.

HansonKerman Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I always liked Andrew Hansen's YouTube channel, and KSP, so I decided my Scratch username would be HansonKerman, and this carried over to the forums, but I misspelled his last name, so my username ended up like this.

Kernel Kraken Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I really like cepholopods, and the Kraken is clearly the best one. The 'Mad' part comes from an Agario clan name my friend came up with, Masters At Destruction. (MAD). The 2297 comes from a failed attempt to use Boogie2988's username and I was trying to do 2989, but I typoed it. I came up with the full name making a Roblox account, as TheMadKraken was already taken, so I tacked on the 2297 number I made up a few years ago for a clash of clans account. It's been that ever since, but I realized there's someone else on the interwebs is named TheMadKraken, (the Roblox guy) and it was creating a lot of confusion. I'm planning to change it. I'm thinking of a programming joke... Kernel Kraken, and it comes pre- kerbalized! I might change it soon. EDIT: Anyone know if there's a way to change your username?

So now my real name, and my user name, are literally Just Jim. Cool story... adsii are my initials, all lower case. And 1970 is the year I was hatched from an egg. Had to be -- for many reasons. I use my user name on whatever forum I'm on. Here, Simtropolis, and even SubSim, although my membership there is fairly new. Oh, yeah, I am also on Steam with that same user name. (I want to make it easier for the FBI and Homeland Security to follow my on-line presence!) And I even have my own website using that, although I have not updated it in about a year. It's www.adsii1970.us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
