Your first User name?

<< < (5/9) > >>

Plasmarobo:
Pretty sure mine was SheepBalloon... hey man, I wanted nothing to do with those numbers. I think it was AOL IM, but I'm pretty sure I used netscape's client. Lolz netscape.

Now I feel old.

But Plasmarobo has been my identity since the first year of Highschool. Yeah, it was also an AIM thing, but then I was like "this is unique and I don't hate myself." so it sorta stuck.

Squidslinger Gilder:
Before the net and in Marathon LAN games I was simply nicknamed Cougar. Fell in love with mountain lions as a kid and it stuck, specially as school added to that feeling of being more solitary. Had friends but didn't have friends. Changing school districts added to that.

Then Unreal Tournament came and I got the net. Took a name from an Aliens action figure I saw in a store, NightCougar, and it became my call sign for the next decade, and still is although more commonly cut down to NC37 because of morons...thank you very much Del Taco jerkbags for that stupid Cougar campaign which "educated" the bottom feeders of gaming. If only there was a "report abuse" button back then in games...sigh.

TracyJackson:
TracyJackson was my first and still only ign for gaming...in fact, for pretty much anything really.

Tracy= from Tracy McGrady, former Houston Rockets player
Jackson= my maternal grandmother's maiden name, she worked as a legal aide to the UN Sec. General for 8 years and at the Pentagon for another 15...inspired me to want to become a lawyer

FightBoyVash:
First user name EVER was on RuneScape. It was BobBongBob1. I was in the second grade, and I wanted it to be Bob BOING Bob like the onomatopoeia for a ball bouncing, but I spelled it wrong. Also I didn't even NEED to put the one, I just added it because I was stupid and in second grade. So people ended up thinking I was a stoner because my name was bobBONGbob everywhere.

Eventually I realized that that was a stupid name and I started going by MitchBoojah, because that's what Jace(my brother) used in everything. We played alot of XBoy back then he was JaceBoojah I was MitchBoojah his girlfriend was RenneBoojah so everyone knew we were together. After watching Trigun (which is an anime, I recommend watching it) the main character's name is Vash, I loved the sound of the name and loved the anime, so I would put my name as Vash... Vash was taken on almost everthing, and I didn't want to be a VASH1233423546475763487652. So the way I got the Fight Boy is that I was doing community service that had to do with Acting, and I would tell people my name is Vash if they didn't know me for fun, and people kept suggesting the  Fight Boy character to me. "Vash should be Fight Boy, Fight Boy Vash" FIGHTBOYVASH

That was long and not completely on topic, but there's the story of my name and my first gaming names.

Shukketsushi:
I find this topic to be really amusing.

My first online account was for AOL in '99: SailorJ18. It was after Sailor Jupiter and my jersey number for soccer. My first handle for videogames was Shukketsushi. I can't really say why, at 14, I decided "death by blood loss" was a good name, but... At least it's not popular. I've only run into a few other people who use it, some guy and a weeaboo that likes Inuyasha.
