[The Silver Elf]

Silver is my favorite color and Elves rock!

 

[Khaled]

I wonder where Shaman Your Anus comes from. Until recently when I read it carefully I always have been reading it as 'shamy you rocks'. Would be cool explanation.

I would say you suck at reading but that would be trolling

 

[lexalex]

Mine is simple - Lex(nickname) Alex(name)...

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Just an awesome song from my favorite artist. (and the song isn't about what you might think it is...). Also, Greene is my last name.

 

[ironman47]

I just thought he had a cold.

 

[Dr Wigglz]

Sadly enough, mine comes from a school nickname lol

 

[GreenHocker]

I just thought he had a cold.

yea, that's what I thought too...or it was just that he had green crap in his throat from cigs and he 'hocked a lugie' into a bus-stop locker

 

[DeadZero]

Used it a long time ago in some random game.
If I could change it, it wouldn't be the same.

 

[Dawn Whitelighter]

thank you for the stories

 

[-Peper-]

Lol, i thought GIANT_CRAB's name was from a mission in Monster hunter freedom unite called 'The Giant Enemy Crab' lol.
Mine? When i was 4 or 5 i played Lego Island 2 (good old ps1 game) and the main character's name is Pepper (But i think Pepper would be silly, so i killed one 'p').
I have used it for my aliases everywhere. Lol.

 

[LucasMapurunga]

"LucasMapurunga" is part of my name... when I created Hive's account I was out of ideas ... but then I just use the same process in Garena and Battle.Net, so...

But my nickname is "Tutch". It comes from old Call of Duty 2 lan playing... good times.

 

[Goffterdom]

Goffterdom...
It comes from "Lanfeust" a comic book. There's a Troll in it, when he's angry or mad or when something suprising happen he just says "GOTTFERDOM".

I miss recalled the double "T" and thought it was double "F" then "T". So here's come my nick.

 

[The Quacker]

Stoner.

 

[PurplePoot]

Cube D way back in 2004 or so. I went through a variety of nicknames beforehand, and have now changed to "Pewt" for new stuff (which is obviously derived from how one might pronounce "Poot") or "PPewt" if "Pewt" is not available.

 

[Joe-black-5]

loved Snoopy when he became the famous "Joe cool" in some episodes. he was jazzy cool.
Started calling myself "Joe Cool"
Everyone though I was refering to myself as cool so decided to make a small change
heard the name Joe black by mistake
loved it as an alternative
went to create a Hotmail account, Joeblack Joe_black Joe_black_1 ---> Joe_black_5
did not work for me, tried Joe-black-5, and voila I got my internet/gaming name.

 

[HQCosTheta]

Back in the 90's I used to stay at a friends house to escape the eternal conflict that was my parents marriage. I ended up staying there so much that I had a permanent toothbrush. To keep his mom from junking it he wrote my name on it. He was going through this bizarre phase where he would say peoples full name in conversation but if he didn't know your middle name he just made it up on the spot. So he wrote some random letters and trig functions between my first and last name in parenthesis. It was a red toothbrush, transparent and firm bristled. I miss those days. Life got really complicated since then. No hiding places anymore.

@FM, haha

interesting stories, love it

 

[TheFairfield]

Fairfield is my last name.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I had been using weird names like nukular and other stupid things like that for a while for some quick things before I had been playing actual online games for a while, until I got warcraft 3.

The nick name "wherewolf" just sort of came to me one day, idk why really but I liked it as a pun and it's only 1 letter off from the original. So I used that on bnet for a while. Well it was cool and made some people laugh but there was 1 problem, there was always this 1 guy who'd be like "You spelled it wrong," "it's spelled werewolf," "typo?," "etc. etc. etc." I had the guy who got the original "werewolf" name for that time tell me I spelled it wrong. So when I finally decided to join this site after using models from it for a while I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have to deal with more people doubting my intelligence/not getting the joke - so I added on the "therewolf" to the end of it, if anything I like the name "WherewolfTherewolf" better because, well 1: it's never taken on forums, 2: it's both the question and the answer, 3: it communicates the pun even more effectively.

Also if I'm using something that allows me to change the name, I'll often switch it around with different variations: "WhenwolfThenwolf," "WhywolfBecausewolf," etc. etc. - it essentially sets itself up for that sort of thing.

Apparently there was some joke on the movie "Young Frankenstein" that had the pun in it, I've never even seen the movie so no that's not where I got it.

Also I've found from a google search that there's an indie jazz band that uses the name, aside from that few other people use the same name (I'm still pissed there's a name sitter on DA with the exact name...... that barely used the account).

Used it a long time ago in some random game.
If I could change it, it wouldn't be the same.

What would you go with instead? I think Pyritie's sig advertises name altercations are free if you ask him

 

[fladdermasken]

Awh, and here I thought you did get it from Young Frankenstein.

 

[ChoovakPetri83]

Yeah

 

[Total_Warrior]

I play the Total War series a lot. I also played the game Spartan Total Warrior. So I just used it.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I thought wand in english could also mean wall.

I was wrong.

So wand is actually dutch.

And i seriously do not know anything about the rest.

Gausslander. Kinda cool.

 

[DeadBoss]

Because i'm dead.

 

[Silly Lil Ant]

Because i'm dead.

And Boss of course, yes?

 

[DeadBoss]

Because i like mafia games.

 

[Billy the Cat]

I should have checked my username for other uses since it was supposed to be a reference to Billy the Kid, but ended up being an already used name for a French comic book character and that's what new people seem to mistake it with. Dx
I'm using raccoon for other sites and games now because I like the characteristics associated with the animal, can be sure it's not used for something I didn't know of yet and because the word in my opinion looks pretty and rounded.

 

[-Grendel]

picked this name in random. i don't know but this name is the first thing that came to my mind. i did want to change my username though. but i decided to keep it

Your avatar reminds me of the old cartoon rocky and bullwinkle. You probably never herd of it but had a cute little squirrel in it

 

[Billy the Cat]

It's Perry the Platypus (and thus doesn't really fir in with my username) from Phineas and Ferb (a show I don't really know well, but I like the character design). I googled Rocky and Bullwinkle and I got to say that I had to check if they had the same character designer since the styles do look very much alike.

 

[DeadBoss]

That cartoon is very intersting i have watched some times on Nickelodian or whatever was called the program.

 

[ironman47]

I was trying to remember the little guy's name I think he was rocky?

That cartoon aired with other cartoons like Yogia bear

back in the day .)

 

[Billy the Cat]

I was trying to remember the little guy's name I think he was rocky?

According to wikipedia the name is Rocky the Flying Squirrel, although lets not turn this into a discussion about cartoon characters (however they did apparently also make a Billy the Cat cartoon based on the comic that my name is not based on). :3

 

[Wazzz]

Wazzz was a name of an Orc Hero in the game Age of Wonders II. I liked it. And I like Orcs. So now I'm known as Wazzz, even before coming here.

 

[Cweener]

Hmmm I have been asked for the story behind my name many many times.
And everytime I am asked, I just come up with some lie to save me time.
Well, I guess since I only have to say it once here. Here is the full, long, truth.



Well, it all began about 8 years ago, back in a small desert tribal village of a people who called themselves "Ven'thra". I was just a mere girl back then. But then again, I still am. We were a happy people. Care free and inbred as there were only about 12 of us in the whole village. Anyways, one morning, when I awoke, I had a strange feeling. A calling is more like it. I had a calling to leave. To leave this village. To leave all my family behind. It was a strange feeling, but nevertheless powerful. And the next night, once everybody had fallen asleep. I began my journey.

Before I had taken so much as 20 steps from the place, I saw something out in the distance. "BANDITS!" I screamed.

I woke the villagers and we put up our defenses, luckily I could see very far and we had about 5 minutes to prepare. We slaughtered them whilst only sustaining 3 casualties. Although that was still 25% of us, we were happy to be triumphant. I was given the nickname "Seer". Because had I not of been out that night to see them, we would've been mercilessly killed. However the feeling persisted within me, and I had to leave. I told my fellow villagers, and I was on my way.

For months I wandered that barren desert. Eating nothing but feces and drinking nothing but water, condensed from my ever dwindling self supply of urine. It was not a good few months. Eventually however, I made it to Cairo. It was a magnificent city. But I felt like going to Germany and hopped on a cargo plane to Antwerp. This is where I meant a lovable fellow named ap0calypse.

ap0calypse and I bonded very quickly, although I despised his accent. He always pronounced "seer" as a "C" sound. It made me sick at first, but then I got used to it. And I just went by the nickname of "c". Eventually though I had a longing. A longing for video games.

I soon became a regional chess champion. Because chess is seen as a video game to those silly germans. Oh well.

I quickly made a name for myself. When people there talked about me, they would always say "There goes C, the chess tournament winner." And I won many tournaments. However, another strange thing the germans do is pronounce 'Winner' as 'weener'. I found it quite humorous. I loved the german people, but soon I had to leave there too. For the same reason I had left my people in Egypt. Because the feeling returned.

This time I went London. Here I met this very strange man who only walked on his hands. We also became friends, and he helped fill the void left by me needing to leave apcalypse. I missed him so so so much. But this new man named "Gregory Ashton Yeltz", or "Gay" as I called him. He was so funny, and charming, and he swept me off my feet. We fell in love, married, and had 44 1/2 kids. Then I divorced him for half his money because he was rich and I was addicted to cocaine which caused me to burn through any money I made.

Needing to leave I found myself on a plane. This plane was actually a hallucination from cocaine overdose, and I was in a rehab clinic for 7 months. Where I was rehabilitated.

When I was rehabilitated, I really left. I'm pretty sure...

This time I left for Dallas Texas in the USA. Upon my first day of arriving, I was asked for my "Name" and I didn't remember, as it had been so long since I was called my name.
I thought long and hard, and eventually the person who asked me just walked away in confusion at my silence, but I continued to think. I wanted to retain my title from Egypt of "seer" but I also wanted to be remembered for my success in the ways of chess in Germany.

I came up with "SeerWinner" but I just didn't like it. It didn't have that ring that nicknames should have.
I remembered the humorous German accents and Boom! It came to me.
I yelled out in the middle of the hallway "Cweener".

Of course every guy within earshot checked their zipper, but nonetheless, Cweener was born.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Well one day when I was 5 I turned on the TV and watched a show of "Bob the Builder"...

 

[enjoy]

People always think my name is perverted or something.

When I joined hive, I had no intention, to join the community.
I just wanted to make icons. So I wanted a name that took distance from personality.
Therefor, I picked the name "enjoy" as in "enjoy my work". A word rather than a name.

 

[rcshaggy]

I like Warcraft and the Horde so I'm a Death Knight Fan as well from the Second War, the WoW Death Knight got messed up.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Mine is obvious. I'm the reborn devil.
