View Full Version : Screen names ㋛

So I've always wondered where these artistic, cool, creative but yet sometimes a little strange screen names come from.

I thought it would be pretty cool for everyone to get to share how they come up with there screen name and the meaning of it (like how it represents you).

Hopefully everyone isn't so shy and participates. Now, let's have some fun shall we ;) . Please!

SIC DETH
12-29-2010, 12:02 PM
SIC DETH = Sick Death IMO, the worst way to pass. (so to my opponent in the gaming word I was this to them)

It started out as Mr. Sicwitit on the PC game Unreal. I was then asked to join the [DETH] clan and the DETH had to be at the end of your Tag (Salley DETH). Mr.Sicwitit DETH was just way to long and gave away my position with this Big Tag over my Avatar's head, so I cut it short. Its been SIC DETH for 12 years now.

roguetiger came about when I was invited to get online with some buds at the High School in which one of them was a Teacher. I always used Tiger for playing games and for my Joe code name and of course Tiger was already taken... I was reading Star Wars Rogue Squadron at the time and remembered in the book Rogue meant Scandalous so went with being a Scandalous Tiger. lol

EasySimpleStuff
12-29-2010, 10:34 PM
I chose EasySimpleStuff cos' when I was younger and played sports (hockey and football) it was used by some of my team to boost morale and remind others that the game is not rocket science(aka impossible) but just some easy and simple stuff...

It sounds ridiculous in english, but in my native language (finnish) it actually makes some sense, both part of the reason why I chose it :D

Also I like to think myself as easy-going guy who likes simple things...like action figures, beer, sports and occasionallly having fun, you know the basics :cool:

rnrhero
12-30-2010, 08:58 PM
For me, it came out of a Joke. I was visiting a friend at work back in 1998 and told him I had to go to get to the music store before a gig I had that night. He said to me "You think your some kind of Rock n Roll Hero don't you?" That night he showed up at the gig and I had bought some Mailbox lettering at Walmart. I had wrote out on my amp, Mike Troutt Rock and Roll Hero. He called me an ass but I thought it was funny. I then changed my email to rnrhero and started using it as my callsign in most forums online. To this day he laughes about it everytime he sees me use rnrhero for something.

Otto the Otter
12-30-2010, 10:53 PM
Quite simply, I'm cute, playful and I dwell in rivers and oceans and eat oysters on my belly while I swim.

My middle name is Otto, and it's the name I go by. Otter came from a few different sources. After I took the Force Recon indoc, the instructors asked us to see if we wanted to go for a record to see who could tread water longest. PT gear only (shorts) and all we had to do was not touch the side, we didn't have to stay in one place. During this time, I thought I'd be a smart ass, as Ia m wont to be, and a friend tossed me part of an MRE and I ate it on my chest. The instructor called me Otter, told me to get out of the pool and I had to do more than a few push ups. "The Otter" stuck with me for the rest of my time in the Marines, but was interchangable with my other nickname, "Phlip." I won't tell you th origins of that one.

After I got out of the Marines, the name didn't stick with me, but oddly enough, several years later, a buddy of mine slipped up when saying my name and said Otter, so he started calling me that, with it soon catching on with everyone else in the shop, and at the same time the woman I was dating started calling me that and it sort of stuck.

I tend to use Otter, The Otter, Otto The Otter, I am The Otter, etc on almost all the forums of which I'm a memeber.

SnakePlissken
01-02-2011, 08:35 PM
Snake Plissken from the movie "Escape from New York" is one of the greatest anti-heros of cinema history.
When trying to decide upon a screen name I didn't want something that was clearly identified with either the good guys or the bad guys. Snake Plissken is about as gray as can be. When I realized the character's history had him fighting under Special Forces in World War III during the Battle of Leningrad it sounded like a perfect connection for me for a G.I. Joe screen name.
I imagine that if Snake Plissken was in the joe universe he'd have worked for the Joes, but possibly like Chuckles in the new IDW Cobra comic book, have been asked to work as a double agent. He'd soon be hated by both sides because he'd have no use or respect for authority and would constantly end up disrupting operations on both sides. Ultimately he's a man who fights for the people, and does what he thinks is right.

4-Cobra
01-03-2011, 03:07 PM
4-Cobra is pretty easy to figure out,and the reason I picked it is I like Cobra better than Joes.And when I was a Kid watching the Sunbow Joe Cartoons I always wanted Cobra to win one.

San Pickles
01-07-2011, 06:00 PM
Pickles was a tool I used to work with. I used a GI Joe to perform some "artistic" stunts with my ex-bosses clock and stapler on his desk. I put the pictures up on flickr and the little tool turned me. Needless to say it was a awkward meeting with my then boss. San is the initials of what hospital Pickles transfered to. Thus was born San Pickles. Cool to hear about where everybody's name came from.

I went to my music collection for inspiration when coming up with a title for my comic. I had a few songs picked out, Another Holy War (Blind Guardian), Peace Sells, Holy Wars, Take No Prisoners, Dawn Patrol (Megadeth), Disposable Heroes (Metallica), Troops of Doom (Sepultura) War Ensemble (Slayer) and just about every song by Bolt Thrower.

Around that time I was watching Invader Zim and they're always screaming about "doom!" which made me think the funniest name would be Troops of Doom. :p

ThinkTank
01-11-2011, 07:42 PM
I once had a crippling addiction to MechWarrior3, an online game that still has no equal, even though its been offline for years. I was in a particular mercenary unit and wanted to join a real Clan, from BattleTech lore, to participate in an online league with a virtual economy, planets, "serious" roleplay and unending warfare. Before joining, I wanted to think of a cool name, one that indicated potential violence beneath a logical veneer. I was listening to the radio and heard a news guy talk about the latest offerings from a Washington DC "thinktank." I magic markered the word on the dash of my work vehicle so I wouldn't forget it and have used the name ever since.

Ctrl_Z
02-04-2011, 02:20 PM
Was fun reading through all of these so I'll add mine. It's a user name I've been using for about 5 years now. There was a time when I would meet someone at a convention for the first time and they would know "Ctrl_Z" before the new me. That's when I used to post waaaay more. My SN has 2 meanings.

1) I use ctrl+z (the key command) a lot. So much in fact that I sometimes forget you can't use in irl. Ctrl+f too! real life needs a ctrl+f function damn it!

2) (Deeper meaning) Ctrl = Control; Z = Last letter of the alphabet. Control the end. Everyone is (or should be) in control of their own destiny/fate.

1) Be good to each other. You can agree, you can disagree, and you can agree to disagree but don't get personal about it. We're all friends here, and we're all fans so let's just leave it at that.

2) Swearing is not allowed in any post in the forums or when replying to pictures. This includes the description area of your picture(s). IF your picture and/or dio has swearing, fine. Please keep in mind that we wish this to be a PG/PG13 sort of site. If you have a ton of swearing in a dio, please try and post a warning as a courtesy.

3) Absolutely no sniping and personal attacks on any member. If there is a problem between board members, take it somewhere else.

4) Blatant trolling. I'll be blunt on this one-- I don't care if you post links to features/reviews/dios/etc at other sites. What I do care about are people who only pop up to promote their site and don't otherwise contribute to the community in any way. This is "trolling for traffic" and I think it's a pretty sleazy thing to do. If you want to post links to your own sites/customs/work/etc, that's great and I encourage it! However, just don't show up to promote yourself and then leave.

5) Enjoy yourself. It’s a place to share stories and images w/ people who have the same interest. It’s great that we have a place like this.

The "order of battle" for disciplinary action around here.

If anyone is found consistently and intentionally violating the spirit of the rules above, the following steps will be taken:

1) Written warning. Either via email or PM you'll be hearing from me with one of those "Cut the crap!" messages. Hopefully this will be enough-- otherwise we move to...

2) Banning. I've seen too many boards grow "out of control" because some people can't remember to respect others. I won't tolerate that here-- ever. Anyone who consistently decides that they can do whatever they want will have to do so elsewhere.

BTW…

If you feel the need to disrespect other board members, make blatant insults, etc, your posts are subject to a bit of an edit. However, you'll know the reasons for the edit and everyone will be able to see that the post has been altered.

By the by...

You want a 1-way ticket to getting banned w/ no warnings?

1. Steal pics from another site, post them here and say they are yours.

It's one thing to post your own stuff. It's another thing to post someone's stuff with their permission. (ie; hosting pics on your own account and posting it for the public) But taking a pic from another site and posting 'em, that's a no-no no matter where you're from.

2. Racism in any form.

and

comments on pics should ALWAYS be honest and polite...........if you find something that looks a bit 'off', a 'gentle' suggestion should be offered. Nothing like 'that pic sucks' or 'I hate that it's stupid' or along those lines.......

Don't sell yourself short on your own pics either! Let's be honest, YOU should know if a picture is 'decent'.......look at it this way, are you proud of what you did? Or are you doing it so you can say to your friends 'look what I crapped out and took a picture of!'? Time and patience will show through your pics all by themselves. And if you get frustrated, don't be afraid to ASK!

Now I don't expect everyone to be able to take the same level of pics, it depends on so many things....camera, speed, surroundings, theme and the most important part........each individual!! Again, it all boils down to each person taking pride in what they are doing..........I mean it is your name attached to each shot!

So, take time and have patience...and just follow your mother's advice 'be respectful'...everyone can benefit from something and you'll be churning out brillant work in no time!!!

And

Some of the newer folks might NOT remember this particular ruling, but the JD has a 3-picture posting limit.

Either space 'em out or if you are trying to tell a story, sometimes it's best to host the shots yourself and make a post in the forum. I am deleting random shots if you are over the 3-shots in a row limit. Please try and let others post too.

80s Child

80s Child:

I was born in '77, so my childhood occured in the best decade to be a child ever - the 1980s. As a 34 year-old now with adult problems like mortgage, job stuff, etc. etc. I often think back to my happy place where hope and possibilities were endless - the 80s. So, when things get a little sticky in present day, I like to harken back to the days of Storm Shadow, Optimus Prime, Cringer, Chewbacca, Tygra, Uncle Jesse, K.I.T.T., Murdock, Angus, and Jessica Fletcher. :)

Youth IS wasted on the young.

Just my nickname. Nothing clever, it's just easy for me to remember.

I'm a HUGE H.P. Lovecraft fan, and by default a fan of lots of the authors that inspired and were inspired by him. Robert Chambers was an influence on Lovecraft, and The Pallid Mask is a character from his "King in Yellow" mythology, which I've been crazy obsessed with for decades. I don't know when I first started using "pallidmask" as a screen name, but it's pretty much the only one I ever use on message boards.

Great thread!

My name comes from a quote in the film "Army of Darkness". When Ash is taken prisoner by the knights at the start of the film, one of his fellow prisoners identifies himself as the Leader of the opposing knight's forces. He tells Ash his name and title, proud of his warrior heritage.

Ash, unimpressed, says "Well, Hello, Mr. Fancy Pants. Look, I got news for you, pal. You ain't in charge of but two things right now: Jack and sh!t. And Jack left town!"

Being a huge Evil Dead/Bruce Campbell fan since I was 12 years old (in 1983), I wanted to pay tribute to the series in some way. Also, I knew that any hardcore fans of the series would spot it right away and identify me as a fan.

It's funny because people on other forums thinks my name is Jack, but it's not, it's actually Dino. Yes, like the pet on the Flintstones. I used to tell people my Mom went into labor while watching the Flintstones and named me after the dinosaur. Older people ask if I'm named after "Dean "Dino Vino" Martin, lol.

The truth is I am named after my Father's nickname. "Il Dino" translated means "The Dean". The term comes from the Latin "decanus", "a leader of ten", taken from the medieval monasteries, which were often extremely large, with hundreds of monks (the size of a small college campus). The monks were organized into groups of ten for administrative purposes, along the lines of military platoons, headed by a senior monk, the decanus.
