    For me - Martin is my last name, 82531 is an old employee ID from many years back.

    Haha, awesome. Never would have guessed, actually. I pronounce your username 'cody-ay'.

    I used to roleplay with a good friend years ago using fake Facebook accounts. Weird, I know...I used a fantasy name generator and it gave me Anya. I invented her last name, though, which I usually have to use, because plain 'ol 'Anya' is already taken. My username on most sites is 'Anyaheirkoya'. :-) Anya's personality I invented, and slightly adopted as my own...she's my sassy, aggressive side. ;)

    Baha I was pronouncing it 'Cody-ay' as well. I'll probably continue anyway :)

    Mine's my Xbox gamer tag, which was randomly generated and now I use it for pretty much everything.

    Mr Oni
    Since im not a Mrs, Dr or Sir I went with Mr.
    I see/hear the name I always pictured a professional looking Oni in a suit or getting ready for work...like he is people, so it makes me smile to think

    Is it the Oni who hides himself or the Human who hides the Oni.

    I've used my name for over ten years and i stink at new names.

    Mine is a name my hubby came up with for me years ago. I use it on most sites I join. I find it easier to have one username than trying to remember a bunch of different ones for different sites.

    Neal
    I was born with my name, or rather it was chosen for me. My dad is actually Neal, so I'm a Jr. Though I don't answer to Jr and I don't write it when I sign my name either.

    Normally my username is SiAScORCH because that was my handle when I programmed booters on AOL 4.0-5.0 when I was a teenager.

So I went with my two favorite things- sunshine and orcas :)

    Growing up my favorite book was Reptiles of North America. It was written by a man who is considered to be the father of American Herpitology, Raymond Lee Ditmars. He died in 1942 so I figured he was done with it.

    Mephibosheth1
    Many moons ago, Hotwjeels company was running an awesome promotion where y they created an early version of an MMO called Planet Hotwheels. There were little stickers inside the hotwheel packages that you could peel to reveal a code, and the codes would give you prizes in the game. You could win new cars, special energy boosters, decal sets, etc. to customize your vehicle before a race.

    That was my FIRST ting I ever logged in on the net!! I needed a username (which I had never picked/heard of prior to that) and I wanted one that would be unique. All the ones based on my real name were taken, so I used one I knew nobody would use: Mephibosheth. It's after a Bible character who's famous for having a long name (there's an interesting story about him too; PM my if you want to know about that lol). I added the 1 just invade someone else may know about Mephobosheth. So far the name hasn't failed me yet :)

    MrLang
    I was always about 10 years more mature than my peers growing up. Kids like to call each other just their last name, especially my friends; friends would call me Mr Lang versus the traditional 'Lang' and it stuck long term.

    Are you Japanese? I was just thinking most people would have to google 'Oni' to figure out what you were talking about. :) Only reason I know is I watch a lot of anime, and have brushed up on my Japanese folklore. :gj:

    Re: Explain Your User Name
    Back in the mid 90's,usernames could only be 8 characters. AOL assigned this for my email and username. First initial of my first name and my last name truncated.

    Easier to remember one username, and everyone know me by it now.

    I used to train in MMA, did it for 3 years or so very intensely, hence "Octagon". Came across crested geckos around that time, needed a username for the repashy forums, hence "Gecko". The 729 is a hangover from some other usernames from when I was much younger.

    sorraia
    "Sorraia" is a breed of wild horse. One of the few truly wild horses remaining today. I think they are beautiful, despite their primitive appearance. Very few people know about them. The name is also very unique, so I adopted it as my online name. Once in awhile I come across someone else using the name, but that's very rare.

    (Sorraia info here: http://www.sorraia.org/general-info.html)

    I still remember the theme song...I am sad I know.


    My user name was a nickname that was given to me by accident so to speak. My name is Ernie. In high school I had a very close friend, John. I think at graduation he might of barely made 5 feet tall. I don't remember what was going on one day, but I was giving him grief and calling him Long Johns, a nickname he hated. He became flustered, and couldn't come up with any sort of come back, and just stuttered Ern...Ern...Erndogg. A couple friends over heard this, and it stuck. It never bothered me.

    Sama
    Explain Your User Name
    My name is actually a character from one of my favorite books. Villains by Necessity by Eve Forward. The main character is Sam the assassin and at one point they are talking about their past and Sam mentions his full name is Samalander and how he was rescued from a fire by a member of the assassins guild when he was very young. It's an awesome book where the bad guys have to fight the good guys to save the world. Sama sounds more feminine Sam is usually taken, I do use Samalander often as well.

    decensored
    My username is one that use for almost every site and forum. I used to use censored after I was asked on a few sites when I was younger, to keep my opinions to myself, usually because they were valid and caused some controversy amongst people who didn't want to hear their opinions criticized. Censored was taken on a lot of sites and so was uncensored - so I started using decensored. It's been with me for 10 years now lol. :P
