Cool story early bird! Mine is just my first name. That's how you spell it... Sorry that I don't have a cool story like early bird.

I can't imagine that coming up too often.

I never said it was frequent. It's just when I hear it, I think of myself.

[Fyacin]

Fyacin is based off of some word for archer in norse or something, I took the word and changed some of the letters so it sound more like I wanted, and now I have no idea what the original word was.
I have also gone by Excelsior (was doing latin and liked it, though it's too generic) Mistidon (Cool enemy in FF9) Bloodred (It's a color, and sounds kind of like blood dread), and Fymbulvitur (My magey name if I need one, I like the way it sounds, plus it's great winter or something in Norse).

I love Mario.

[Soviet Stinger]

Well, back when I played Starcraft, I was in a top-end Diplo clan, Clan Soviet. Soviet was the prefix to all our names. I always kept it as a reminder of the first clan I ever seriously participated in.

Stinger draws from a lot of things really. Probably the biggest is back when I was playing Planetside in Darkskies, we flew formation and called quick names over vent. I was 'Stinger' since I would always bust in there, fire a salvo, and draw back out, then hit the same spot again. Stinger also stems from the fact that I spend most of my time snipan' in the vidja. And yes, the Hornet in my avatar is a direct reference.

PUT IT TOGETHER AND ITS SOVIET STINGER WOOO

Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The upper case L is my attempt to be cool back when I first made the screen name in the fifth grade. It just stuck when I signed up at NDose.

[Swan]

deejzguy - Old GT name, deejz was an old nickname in elementary school. And I have a penis.


Swan - Awesome character from the Warriors and I was pretty into it when I changed it.


Wooden Pint - When trying to figure out a Gamertag tried a bunch of stuff, Mr. Krinkle(which I fucking love), Korpiklaani and other random stuff...then remembered awesome song by Korpiklaani and went with that

[Dylflon]

Man, we've had so many of these threads over the years.

One day about 10 years ago, one of my friends decided to merge my name (Dylan) with flon (a disgusting dessert dish). He called me Dylflon out of nohere and it just so happened that I needed a new hotmail account since my original (Joe_Cool_55) had been hacked.


Nobody can pronounce my username correctly. Most people online pronounce it Dial-flon rather that Dill-flon. This is wrong.

[The Germanator]

What is wrong with "Flan"? (spelled that way) It is delicious.

[Angrist]

Joe Cool 55.

[Dargogamer]

I have been a big fan of Farscape for years and am a gamer so I combined my love of farscape and games into a username. (Dargo is a farscape character)
