Forum:How did you think up your username?

Hello Boys and...Caboose of Halopedia! I, KillerCRS (Or Kwarsh, as most of you know me) am here today to ask you a question. How did you think up of YOUR username? I suppose my story isn't really all that complicated, but I'll start.
 * You forgot CR. =D --Bl em o 23 05:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Kwarsh
I was on Newgrounds, thinking of an account name, when it hit me "Killer_Chris". I made that my name, but the guy who owned newgrounds said "No more underscores". So i was in the process of changing my name to KillerChris, but, someother asshole did before I clicked "Ok". Si I thought, and I was like: "Whoa, CRS looks like chris!" and I made it that. I've been using it on multiple websites ever since.

Now, to explain "Kwarsh". I was playing Halo 2, on Gravemind, when I challenged a Grunt to one-on-one. Apparently, he didn't want it that way, and he ran away making a Grunting noise that resembled "Kwarsh!". After that, and Ultra Grunt appeared, but he wouldn't shoot me, but was following me throughout the level. We got to the end, with the Ultra Elites with the Fuel Rod Guns, but an Angry Brute killed him. I was enraged, and punched an Elite in the back of the head, stealing his Energy Sword, and picking off Brutes one-by-one.


 * Your turn!

Caboose
Well, I was thinking: Hmm, another wiki thing about Halo. Awesome! I should totally be Caboose, after all he is my favorite character in RvB (I was a relatively new fan at the time, having discovered the show only a few weeks prior) and Ta Da! Caboose was born!-- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  03:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

The Chazz025
Go to newgrounds type in irving on the search bar, and watch the clip. That is were I got the name irving. Now The Chazz is a complete diffrent story, I had a weird dream about my friend sky diving with a bear named The Chazz. It was weird because the bears could talk and he was sky diving weird huh?, Peace.--The Chazz025 and Clan 04:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Dragonclaws
Usually, my username is Nogard (dragon backwards) because I'm a fan of dragons. But because Halo is a fighting game, I made several more warrior-like names for accounts in Halo 1. As Halopedia was a Halo wiki, I decided to use one of the dragon-related ones, Dragonclaws, in place of Nogard. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 06:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

RR's Derivations

 * On some day in April or May 2006, RR decided to join Wikipedia to edit the Imperial-class Star Destroyer article. Sad, yes, but he shored that up by helping out with a lot of the biology and chemistry pages. =D He wanted to edit ASAP...and he thought of a random name: Relentless. But he felt that would be too aggressive...and instead of rewriting it, RR was dumb enough to make it even more aggressive by making a second word: Rogue. Except he spelt it wrong, and only when he ran for administratorship did two peoples point out that it was a mispelling - RelentlessRouge (supposed to be RelentlessRogue
 * RR then joined the h2wiki (Halo 2 multiplayer tactics, sister to Halopedia), but spelled it correctly, and his name there was RelentlessRogue.
 * RR was still a major contributor to Wikipedia, working substantially on Halo articles. When the AfD process came around (Articles for Deletion - an utterly stupid process, as agreed by Sansee, a Wikia global administrator), the plasma torpedo and MAC gun articles were to be deleted. RR had in fact written the plasma torpedo article and made significant changes to the MAC gun article. RR searched for a place to move them before they were deleted...Halopedia! RR joined quickly as RelentlessRogue, transferred the bewildered articles. If you see my 1st talk archive, you can see indeed that I was RelentlessRogue. And no fancy sig. =D This was in July 2006.
 * After his vacation in August 2006 in France (where he edited the Covenant Destroyer, Covenant Cruiser, Template:Cleanup, etc... pages from a laptop with Frenchy all over it =D), he took a prolonged break from Halopedia, and instead spent his time at Wookieepedia as RelentlessRecusant...see the story at the next bullet point under the name
 * RR came back in maybe...September 2006? November 2006? However, he didn't want to continue as RelentlessRogue...RR is a major Star Wars fan, and read that the 850-meter Recusant-class light destroyer was a C.I.S. starship featured in Star Wars: Episode III (Star Wars: Cross-Sections, Episode III), and was enlightened and obsessed by Recusant. Relentless + Recusant = RelentlessRecusant. =D

Darth Gree
I was first on sw fanonpedia as Darth Gree(didn't know it also was on diffrent wikias.). Something star wars but not to diffrent and I was a Gree fan and a sith fan. I then went here and noiticed"Darth Gree" so for my sig I changed the sig name to Spartan 104 for a short time and then my more recent nickname Envy Skull Effects to comprimise with the pic showen(gold spartan with ESE up top.). Envy  Skull  Effects  20:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC) that it was still Darth Gree.

Rotaretilbo
Ah the history of my name. Tis been so long. Our story begins in the latter half of 2002. I am in eighth grade. At the beginning of the school year, I met a group of guys who produced video games on the side. I promptly joined. We originally called ourselves Juvenile Industries. It was founded by Bear and included myself, FrozenFish, TheEvilOctupusMan, I-N00B, and AgentSanaiha. We had a couple game ideas, our main one being something Bear thought up where you played a square that played the saxaphone, and you battled many circles (representing the masses). The final boss was The Onhcet (techno backwards). We never got around to making it though. Not long after creation, Bear met Monkey, and together, they created Crazy Donut Productions, which included all of those in Juvenile Industries and added Monkey as a co-founder. Around this time, we began work on Kill Zone (I would like to note here that we chose that name for our game long before Sony changed their game Kin to Killzone; we did not copy them, if anything, they copied us). Bear informed me that at the end of the game in the credits it would use screen names rather than real names. He told me I needed one. At the time, my only screen name was Crazy Donutian, at my first forum, ACC. Of course, since we were all Crazy Donutians, that wouldn't work. My next screen name, at EH (R.I.P.) was based on my name, Brandon Rebuga. However, that didn't work well either. So I began playing with things. At one point, I thought about Bob the Bringer of Doom, who was also named Robert Mood (because mood is doom backwards). I then began playing with backwards stuff. I came up with Robert Rotaretilbo (obliterator) and Robert Espylocopa (apocolypse). I liked saying Rotaretilbo better, and I cut the Robert. When I got Battlefield Vietnam (my first PC FPS and the end of my console only gaming), I used Rotaretilbo as a screen name.

As for Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank J Wimbleton IV, he is a character in my fanon. The name is derived from several things. First, I have always liked the sound of Master Gunnery Sergeant, and I like the Marine Corps. Second, Hank J Wimbleton is the star of one of my favorite flash animation series (Madness Combat). Finally, I added IV to the end to show that this was not the Hank of the 21st century. I chose 4 because it is my lucky number.

H*bad
Well I was born January 18... and... oh it's about my username... right. Well I used to be at a wiki called HRWiki, where I came up with my name. First I thought about my favorite characters from that wiki and I combined their names. One of the names was Homestar, then another was Strong Bad. So I thought: H*(Homestar) and Bad (Strong Bad). And there it is.--H*bad 17:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

James-001
Well, James is my actual name and I figured since spartan-James is one of the few spartan actually MIA, and it is speculated that he was the first spartan, I chose James-001. Peace. Contact me ·  · James-001 ·  ·  Find me  19:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Ares.117
It all began with Halo Wars ..... Sadly I do not remember when but around the time when I discovered the Halo Wars RTS site I had recently played the Xbox game Spartan Total Warrior. The final boss was an amazing looking god called Ares. Who happened to be the God of War in greek. So as it was I chose Ares. However unfourtunately someone had taken that name. Thus I added .117 to the end of my nam in the Halo Spirit. It's like walking down memory lane..... and now this thing isn't letting me sign my name. strange.

ED
People call me "Ed" at school (No, it's not my real name) and I was "ED" at old.halopedia. But when we transferred to new.halopedia, "Ed" was already taken by someone else on the network, so ED has become my primary contributing name on Halopedia and Starcraft Wiki. I also own the username "Ed!" for obvious reasons. -- E D  20:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Grievous797
It all began with star wars episode 3...I saw that movie and I said wow grievous was cool in that movie so I started using that name and then I made up a random number "797" so then I put them together and voila Grievous797 was created!

Guesty-Persony-Thingy
I was at HBO, and I wasn't logged in, but I wanted to post (long time ago, as you hopefully know). But I also wanted to be distinguished from other guests, so I typed in Guest, then made it Guesty, since I always put -y on the end of nouniess and adjectivies and other wordies. Then I thought that's too weird (LOL!), so since I'm a person it should have Persony too. But I'm not REALLY a person, I'm more of a thing... so I put Thingy on it too. Then eventually I registered.

GruntyBalboa
It had been a long running joke between me and some friends about how Rocky Balboa was god and how, prior to the release of Halo 2, an Invisible Grunt would be comparable in power to the aforementioned Italian. We ended up coming to the realization that a combination of the two would create an existence ending entity the likes of which had never been seen. I created the moniker "GruntyBalboa" and have been using it for years now, the successor to my old name of InvisibleGrunt.

Spartan 1138
Well it first started as Delta 38 from Republic Commando. Then I expanded it to Delta 1138. Then I found Halo and now you have the one and only Spartan 1138. Occasionally there will be a MCPO in front to give some rank.--Spartan 1138 01:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Ursus_trooper153
I was tired of not being recognized for things that I did on the internet, and the fact that I don't yet have myspace, xbox live, IM, etc. So, as a Rabid (capitolized) Halo fan, I figured a good place to take my place among the ranks of those with user names would be halopedia. On 3, 1...2...3...AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Now then, the etymology begins with my parents. When Mom and Dad were still dating and they were on a ski trip in Jellystone National Park. On the sign was a picture of Yogi and Booboo, they were bears. Dad tells Mom that it looked like them. Ever since, Dad calls Mom Booboo, and Mom calls Dad Yogi. It follows that my family addopted a sort of bear theme. We refer to ourselves as a "bear clan". I am Ryan bear or Little bear, as in goldilocks and the three bears. blah blah blah. Anyway, "ursus" is I think greek or latin for "bear", and they are also a symbol for strength and bravery.

The space is actually an underscore that doesn't show up.

The "trooper" part is simply because I am a fan of the Republic (star wars) and their clone troopers.

153 is the number you get when you add the numbers coresponding to each letter of my name Ryan Winstead.

Thus, you get Ursus trooper153

choosenow
Hmm. I was quite young when I made choosenow. I believe it was back in the day when I still played Runescape (this was when Runescape had just come out, I quit after about 7 days xD). Every name seemed to be taken (I wasn't very original then...), so I guess I was remonstrating myself or something and telling somebody to "choose now". I have no idea. Anyway, something along those lines. It's funny, cause I played Runescape for very little, yet now I use this name for everything. Online games, xfire, etc. The nickname lil azn man comes from a)the song and b)the fact that I'm little, asian, and male. lil azn man 23:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Guitarplayer001
I decided that since I like Ice cream I should name myself Guitarplayer001 no, really, it is pretty self explanitory, I am the #1 guitar player! (not really) I have only been playing for five years, however, I have improved greatly throughout these years, which can be confirmed by the fact that I can play the Van Halen guitar solo from the song Jump, have started to pick out parts of Eruption by Van Halen by ear, can play Spirit of Radio by Rush, have started to pick out a couple of Joe Satriani songs by ear, can shred in any of the musical modes with ease, can play Crazy Train, Iron Man, Rock 'n' Roll Band, have figured out how to make my guitar sound like an airplane flying overhead (with the doppler effect and everything, seriously, me and some people were at the beach, and I had pre recorded my "airplane" on my loop pedal, and I accidentally stepped on the play button, and we were all looking for the airplane, kuz it was loud and would've had to be flying very low), a car accelerating, a train, and several other things, I could probably pick out a lot of songs by ear, I have recorded in a professional recording studio, have been in several bands... you get the idea.

Krem Roy
This is actually a combination of words. Krem was derived from "Cremptigua" a tagolog word meaning to take out an enemy with dishonor, and gain. Krem is also derived from cream of the crop, or crem de la crem... Roy is derived from an indonisian word "Rioythuk" pronounced Roy-tuc meaning a annoying, angry, and small. Plus Roy is a nickname.

Ace99
Ive been using ace since i started to play that awesome flight simulator series ace combat. Before that i would make up random stuff from the top of my head....As for the numbers, i use 99, 91, or 2891. 91 is the year i was born, and 2891 is the day and year i was born. As for 99, i was playing Super Smash Bros Brawl and i got a score of 99. I don't know why i liked it, but 99 looked cool. (it was probably the font or something lol) So I've been using 99 for a lot of stuff since then. My gamertag is ACE2891.

KamakaziSparow
...Ok, you asked for it. Waaaaayyyy back in the day, when I was but a wee lad, I got my first "true" Shooter. It was and is one of my favorite games to this day, Battlefield 2.

Thus I chose "Kamakazi", in honor of my somewhat suicidal tactics in the game, and spelt it wrong on purpose. But I required somthing more! So I added "Sparow", in honor of my seeming innocence. However, I was too lazy to use spellcheck, and thus, KamakaziSparow was born. It has stuck with me throughout my whole internet career.

Specops306
Mine is a short tale, certainly shorter than I had thought about. In the depths of time, I had a fanfic idea. It was stupid, and I swiftly abandoned it - a team of Spartans and an Elite, venturing into the galaxy to fight evil, and fightin tournaments. And guess what the Elite was called...

...yeah. See why I abandoned it? It was basically Dragonball Z in space, and was quickly abandoned, leaving a disgusted feeling in its wake. How could a mind such as mine have given birth to such unfathomable horror? And that was the end of it - Except that later, I created a Bungie.net account. Taking a name that had Spartan in it seemed an obvious choise - along with the millions of other people trying to pass themselves off as the Master Chief. And, alas, Spartan306 was taken. So I chose the next name that came to me, replacing the Spartan with Specops. And thus Specops306 was finally born. The 306 stands for my date of birth - the 30th of June. And that puts that mystery to bed!

I sometimes use the pseudonym Qur'a 'Morhek, which was the result of the Elite Namelizer - not that that's the name my own name produced. Instead, I got "Elma 'Mopadee," which I confess just doesn't stand up. So I created my own, using syllables I liked - Morhek is based on Mortumee, a character in The Flood, altering the last part of the name, while Qur'a takes its sound and spelling from Qu'ran, the Islamic holy book. Random, yes? -- ' Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek ''  Honour Light Your Way! ''' 23:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
