geo Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) This has been asked before, but I'll answer it for the new generation. My mother was crazy enough to name me Geo. Literally. Like the "you are my world." It could have been worse, I could have been named "world" or "Earth." Due to harassment in school and later on at work, I just use a normal sounding name. Especially after Geo the automobile gained popularity. I remember my third grade teacher renamed me and it stuck for 2 or more years. She felt that she just couldn't stop laughing at my name, so she renamed me for class. I should also add that I dated a girl named Terra and it was spelled that way too. It was a rocky relationship. To my recollection, this is the only forum where I used my real name... because who would believe it? Not to mention most forums require 4+ characters in a user name.

DMPhobos Posted May 7, 2018 It has some really dumb and stupid origins Sometime, during the early Doom Connector days (2005 i think?), stupid 14 year old me, thought it would be pretty funny to set my multiplayer name as "FuckerOfDoom" and at that moment i thought i was being clever and funny until i was chased by a moderator into a server room and he told me to either change my name or be banned, so in a hurry i changed it to "DoomMarine", a few weeks later i shortened it to "DMmarine". Since DMmarine was a very generic name, and because me and some friends we're talking about greek gods at the time, and because Phobos is the setting of knee deep in the dead in the original doom, DMmarine became DMPhobos, and i've stuck with it ever since. 4 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted May 7, 2018 Dragonflies surrounded certain aspects of my upbringing. They were iconic components of some of my favourite video games when growing up (Spyro the Dragon and Jade Cocoon, to name a couple). My grandfather was an artist in his spare time and he was one of the main 'carers' for me while my parents were working. Being a creative-type person I used to sit and draw with him and one certain sketch-session stuck with me, where we drew dragonflies together. I adopted the username roughly around the time his cancer was taking over, I guess as a way to let my memory of him live on, preemptive to his death. He passed away when I was in my teens; as soon as I was old enough, on my 18th birthday I got a dragonfly tattoo on my right upper arm in memory of him. :) 17 Share this post Link to post
Xyzzу Posted May 7, 2018 I loved Colossal Cave Adventure growing up and made its magic word my username, as well as the nickname of the blue guy you see here. The two numbers computers think in are only there because without them, I would have a username that is already taken. And no amount of case-sensitive-ness (?) can change that. 8 Share this post Link to post

Merry Widow Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) An older sister of mine was always a bitch, so we called her grouchbag. I thought it was funny, sooo there it is. My sister still has no sense of humor. I do. :) 6 Share this post Link to post
ShoDemo Posted May 7, 2018 I am pretty crappy with usernames and they may end up being pure cringe at times, but I like to have a special name. Here I chose to have ShotgunDemolition as my name, because, surprise surprise, I love the shotgun in Doom. I liked it, but it was a bit long. Then I changed it to ShoDemo, because a friend called me like that one day and I liked it more. Plus it doesn't sound as ridiculous. 4 Share this post Link to post
MarsHappyNation Posted May 7, 2018 I took lyrics from a David Bowie song. "Mars happy nation, sit on my karma Dame meditation, take me away" Almost all of my usernames are tied to music in one way or another. 3 Share this post Link to post

Vermil Posted May 7, 2018 My username was inspired by, well, as if my avatar didn't make it clear enough, the Toshinden series of games. Long long ago, I used to be 'the shinjo2002', but then IIRC, I forgot my password. 1 Share this post Link to post

Aquila Chrysaetos Posted May 7, 2018 Yes, Gaea/Gaia is the personification of Earth in Classical Greek myth. I was running around Wiktionary trying to find a possible masculine form of the word (Greek) and I stumbled across the most magnificent article on the site. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hell_on_earth#English 0 Share this post Link to post

Aquila Chrysaetos Posted May 7, 2018 Now we just need someone to adopt the name Ouranos and our Classical Greek Primordial pantheon will be complete. Off this site, on imgur, primarily, I have an older username of Monitor1863, which comes from the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1863 in the American Civil War, in which the ironclad vessel USS Monitor faced the former USS Merrimack, CSS Virginia at that time. 0 Share this post Link to post
