No, I don't mean your real name. I mean your handle, alias, screen name.......what ever.

I got mine when I was about 14, so I don't remember. But I'm especially curious about where "jcarkeys" came from...

Mine came from way back in the day when everybody playing Counter-Strike was either named Maximus (Gladiator came out) or Dark Killer 87 or something lame like that. I shot for the opposite for humor's sake. It still leads to some interesting scenarios as sometimes people think I'm a girl.

The actual phrase, though, was lifted form the very end of Roujin Z

Errr mine came from my name

there's already a thread like this: http://forums.pcapex.com/showthread.php?t=2730

I didn't see that.....I swear I did a search too!

Oh well, sorry guys.

my names from an old superman comic, my favorite one, man of tomorrow #19, mot19

Mine was taken from a TV show title called somethingorama then I just changed it to bazorama that was about 2 years ago or something.

Now its my name for everything any game I play I use bazorama / BaZoRaMa / BaZoRaMa!, I use all lower case in forums etc cause I cant be bothered to do the alternating upper and lower case to login

I have no idea.............

EDIT: Actually, there is another thread about this, too...LINK

What the Hell is going on here.....I just got -Rep point for posting on the Linked Thread!
Someone Should Explain........!

hopefully not ^

I came up with mine a while ago, when I first did my mod. My names cameron and im slick.. Not the most impressive name, but hey it works. My common name for everything else is Tundar, which I think makes up for the slack in this name!

Me and my friend used to go to aol chat rooms and bomb them all the time so he said hey make your name corruptjoker and his was corruptedjoker. It was fun but that was years ago. I just stuck with corruptjoker ever since.

hey Nev, bro, isn't it better "to post in an existing thread rather than to create a new one?"

For anyone who know that sounds common, look in the ATG forum and check this sticked "n00bs should watch this now"

anyways i got mine cause i once at one point in my life stuck a PC in a stereo case hence forth stereo- mod

yes...it is, but its 2 YEARS old...and about 80% of the new posts are in here, not there...so technically...leave this one open, as less people will winge.

For years I used uber techno, super slick, w/e names, all cliché "matrix baby" names. Well I got sick of looking just like the rest of the kids on forums; I wanted to be a respected member of a community. I also acted like a jerk back then and wanted to change that. I had loosely hung around pr for along time then I saw Overkill’s thread about the family who needed donations and help. I really wanted to send some their way so I finally register here at PR and have stayed around ever since then. Now before I post >60% of the time I will say this in my head; "does PR need this? Will this help, or will it be interesting to a majority of the people who read it". I delete almost as many posts as I post before I submit them. I realize that they are pointless and will make me look like a stupid kid. I also put almost every post into word and run a check on it before I post it. So I went on a mission to change my name and myself. It took me about 3 months to settle on Anchi. I wanted a name you can remember, one that doesn’t just sound like a net handle, a name with some personality to it. I remember thinking of Rob and users like him who have a simple name but are very respected. I thought Anchi loosely met these rules and closed on it. I sat down and thought about what motivated me, what I was made of at the core. I realized I still had a very strong connection to eastern history, culture, language, and art. This started when I was young. I found shelter in anime and then though whole of eastern culture. The word Anchi is a Japanese word meaning disliked for the first part of my name, then second half is Nekura, meaning dark-natured, introverted, dour, moody, and insular. These two words are very close to how I feel of myself and how others see me. keeping to the Japanese language, i say it Nekura Anchi. I decided to only use Anchi as my user here at pr due to its simplicity and it not blatantly standing for something. I do us Nekura in games thoght.

Allow myself to quote myself....

*hanging head in shame* I'm simply a geek . . . Mine's a name I made up for an old D&D character, and it stuck . . . esp since I've found that literally NO ONE ELSE on the net wants to use it . . . Every time I sign up for a service, old or new, it always goes through on the first try . . . So, I'd say it's a keeper.

The word 'foe' means enemy, which seemed to fit online games. Started using mine 4 years ago, when I first played any game online.

From this band i was in once upon a time, Cynosure. Means the center of attention, also, latin for the north star/dipper/ursa etc. Cyno was always taken (AIM and hotmail IIRC, that was 8 years ago...), or is under the char limit, or if your name has to end with a number or something. Ive been using Cyno01 for 8 years now, and for brief periods, my MSN or ICQ display name was CynOSur3, or back in my fone phreaking days, Cyno414 (my home area code).

EDIT:Also, i always figured that "cyno" was a root meaning center or something, but literal translation when i looked it up finally like a month ago, it just means dog...
