Forum:SH:Where'd you get your username from? (permanent thread)

In light of the recent "How do you imagine other users" thread, I thought this thread would be appropriate. Mine is simple; my Dad was called "Cutch" in high school and college, and so have I been. Anyone else? Cutch 06:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I liked the sound of the name. The a instead of the O makes it Star Warsy. It doesn't really have much to do with the character, though. Havac 07:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The four dot ellipsis at the end of each opening crawl, bar stupid ROTJ, and at the end of the little GFFA thing at the start. .  .  .  .  07:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've always wondered that, fourdot. Wildyoda 21:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yoshi = Yoshi
 * 626 = Stitch -- Yoshi  626 [[Image:Yoshiegg.jpg|20px]] 07:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * From Tolkien. Tinwe is Quenya for "spark" or "star." --Tinwe 08:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Guess. ;-) -- Ozzel 09:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I like Mandalorians and the Fett family Mandofett Wrist Holoprojector[[Image:Mandoinsignia.png|20px]] 11:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I picked up the name after reading This Crumb for Hire, set on the Kwenn Space Station. Later on, when trying to choose a username during my Star Wars forum travels, I picked Kwenn, thinking I'd come up with the name myself. It wasn't until much later that I stumbled upon This Crumb for Hire again, and realized where the name was from - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 13:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I am a huge football fan, and I was watching a Patriots game, and Chad Jackson made a catch. I mixed it up in my head and got Chack Jadson. I thought that was a funny name, so I wrote it down. Then, when I decided to join this site, I waas going to be Executor or DarthGrievous21 or Chack Jadson. A line on someone's page, I think it was Riff's, about lots of people being named after Star Wars characters made me change my mind. Besides, I wanted to have a fan-fic. Chack Jadson 13:45, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw Riff's comment about users taking established names; although in my defense, I wasn't aware I was stealing my name at the time ;) - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 13:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * My name (Jorrel Fraajic) is sort of like my real name Star-Wars-ized. Basically, I use this name for everything (RPGs, fanfics, video games, etc.). 15:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Although it's kind of obvious, I got my username by combining my first name with my favorite Star Wars character's name. I created the name when I first started using the internet when I was 10, and have used it as my internet handle ever since. :) Adamwankenobi 18:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Old high school nickname, used for most "hobbyist" purposes on the internet as a reminder not to take things too seriously. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Xwing = X-wing (go figure)
 * 328 = My favorite numbers when I was a kid combined. George later decided to make a Hallway 328, and if you get semi-creative, you can get 1138 from it too. 21:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's also one up from Lucas' other favourite, 327. .  .  .  .  21:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I signed up for my first e-mail account way back in the day in the 7th grade and someone had already signed up as master_yoda with the provider. Just picked the next adjective that came to mind and out of habit still use it on most stuff that requires a login nowadays. I've actually developed a loathing for the moniker, but keep it around for consistency, and because my edit count is high enough now I don't want to start it back at 0 with another name on the various wikis I contribute to. :) Wildyoda 21:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I always wanted to be named Jack, and at one time, I was reading a book about nebulae. In it, it said there was possibly a nebula around our solar system, and they called in "Nebula X". So, I combined the two and got Jack Nebulax. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 21:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I am the fourth Baron of Grackle Rock, a tiny Commonwealth island dependency within the Irish Sea that carries a long-standing rivalry against the Isle of Man. The line was initially formed A.D. 1213 through an Eastern Roman beaurecratic error that illegally ceded it (it had officially been part of then-defunct Western Roman Brittania) to Gregorio Talltower, an established Byzantine rook. Since Talltower's death, the fief, title, avion loyalty, and other superpowers associated with "Baron Grackle" have passed on through generations randomly. The grackles really expect me to use my position to punish humanity, but I feel their grudge is stupid, plus I'm lazy, so I just abuse the powers on mundane things. -BaronGrackle 05:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Simple abbreviation of of my Star Wars persona, Jedi Master Aar'be Simara. - JMAS 05:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * NOWIS is SIMON upside-down, which is my real name. I figured that out in elementary school when it was on my lunchbox. Lt is short for Lieutenant. I chose that because it sounds cool, and also because Lieutenant Tschel was the first character in the first EU novel I read. -LtNOWIS 11:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This question comes up often enough that I've got a part of my website dedicated to answering it. jSarek 11:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As I said on on the other thread, my name came from Green Tentacle from Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle. Why the cowering green one and not the awesomely evil purple one? Well, I tried purple on one site and there already was one so I changed to green. Plus he listens to metal. Green Tentacle (Talk) 12:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Copied from Uncyclopedia: Sikon dates back to school. I was writing a programmer language interpreter and needed a cool name, so I pulled a Zend and constructed "Sikon" from the first syllables of my two classmates, who actually had nothing to with the program. After a while, I started using it to refer to myself, although I used other nicks before. My IRC nick, LucidFox, is a rather recent invention, but it's another story. For now, let's just say it's more easily googlable. - Sikon 08:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I suppose I just jolly well like pie! Mmmpieisgood 19:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Watch The Fifth Element :-) --Azizlight 22:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Odd reference to the Sonic the Hedgehog game series. They made a two-part animated special in Japan, the first of which was titled 'Journey to Eggmanland,' where the villain Dr. Eggman/Robotnik/Whatever his name is these days lives. I thought Eggmanland was a fun word. Eggmanland 23:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Jasca was the name of an imaginary Jedi I was when I was a small child. The Ducato part comes from the make of vans when i decided that my Jedi character needed a name. Darth Abeois however comes from latin, "abeo" means "to vanish, to disapperar&hellip;" [[Image:DarthAbeonisSig2.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 21:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Mine's pretty obvious. Bly1993 21:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Darth Nyne actually derives from a nickname I was given by a close friend, Yung Nine, adapted to the idea that N.Y.N.E stands for Not Your Normal Enemy, as to the fact that my personal Jedi character is a Chiss Sith that uses dualsabers that Lock into a double bladed, and when split he holds one in reverse so that the blade runs down his arm rather than away from his body.  N.Y.N.E. Comlink[[Image:sithempire2.png|30px]] 22:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Mine is a Star Wars Character I made up and role play as. The names come from different areas..."China" is from this old horror movie I saw on TV once, a girl's name was China, it kind of stuck. Monroe is from Marilyn Monroe. She was my favorite actress as a kid. &lt;3 China! 23:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * "Aziz, light!" Honestly, I watched The Fifth Element just to find out how to pronounce your name, Azizlight. Up until then, I always thought it was pronounced the way it's spelled. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 23:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool :-) --Azizlight 02:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Darth is obvious, but Ammanius is the name of a Romulan who appears in the fanfiction Star Trek Renaissance. It sounded like it'd make a cool Sith name. User:Darth Ammanius 05:25, 01 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Shortly before I joined up here, a friend and I were brainstorming possible names for lesser Sith employees. Because it seems obvious to me that the Order of the Sith Lords must have support staff. Sidious couldn't reasonably manipulate the Trade Federation and train two apprentices and serve in a public office if he also had to take time to balance his own checkbook and do his own taxes and so on. So we postulated the existence of the Order of the Sith Accountants, and I came up with a few names: Culator, Atabase, Expensa, Auditor (pronounced just so), and later Bacus and Ompute. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 12:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * When I first joined I loved Scorch from Republic Commando. But somewhere along the lines I developed my uber alias Bonko Klemmings. Don't know why I chose it but it has a nice ring to it.Bonko 18:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Loathe though I am to admit to this stunning lack of creativity, I went with my first initial, last name, and favorite/luckiest number.  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:Oldsith.png|40px]] 01:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I just used my initials. Not very creative, but it's easy to remember. -- SFH 03:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * From my Galaxies character Lonny Doneeta from before Galaxies became crap. He was supposed to be Tott Doneeta's white-trash cousin. Lonnyd 09:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As with Tinwe, mine also came from Tolkien. Gel Maethor is the Sindarin form of my real name.  Gel=Gil (Hebrew)="joy" and Maethor=Martin (Latin)="warrior" -- Gel Maethor  10:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I just thought that the idea of a Sith who specialized in mentally scarring his enemies was kind of cool. Darth Metus 16:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * big fan of greek architecture, philosophy, and culture, so I got my name from that. Normally on most games I use Alpha, because I am an adept gamer (rts) and ussually alpha means first, or top, or best. Something I am extremely interested, Cybernetics, comes from the greek word Kybernetes. the two dont really go together, yet it sounds right, so i use Kybernetes on forums/wikis, and Alpha on games. This is the first time ive combined the two KybernetesAlpha 02:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
 * you should've tried it the other way around "Alpha Kybernetes"... Sounds good to me anyways. Tutos Lumenarious 01:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * "Hydronium" because I learned it in a chemistry class and it sounded cool, and "Lord" because just "Hydronium" didn't sound right. Or as an ego trip.  One of the two.  On other people's names: Havac: I always figured that it was from the character.  Nice coincidence, though. Fourdot: I have a friend who for some reason finds the four dot ellipsis very funny.  I get the feeling he'd get a kick out of your name. - Lord Hydronium 05:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hydronium is cool. Did you also consider hydroxyl? --  Riffsyphon  1024 07:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hydronium: This guy that I've never met is probably my best friend. Tell him that. He'll be terrified. .  .  .  .  07:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not a coincidence so much as I just did it because I like the character's name, not the character. Not that I don't like the character . . . but that isn't why I did it. Having fun yet? Havac 23:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * "Logisland" is an English version of my surname. Logisland 20:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Evir Daal was an old RPG/computer game character who became famous in a couple of gaming and writing groups in my little country far, far away. He was the first of the couple of "regular" characters we built up our own fanon EU, including a number of short stories, around before the Bantam books came along. And no, it's not related to either Derricote or Daala, as neither were around when I invented him. "Evir" is pronounced with a long "e". Evir Daal 07:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

 * About a year ago, I had found something I wanted to bid on eBay. I needed a name to bid, and there was a user on there by the name supergeeky.  So I just added the 1 because I liked it.  I'm real creative! :-P supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 20:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sarge is one of my nicknames being that my last name is Sargent. And my other nickname, The Afinja (a fat ninja = afinja), was not that starwarsy so even though i dont see myself as of the dark side (i know i know, all the evil people say it) I added the Darth, so Darth Sarge my name is...Darth Sarge 22:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * One of my favorite words, serendipity, tweaked to be a play on my first name, Sarah. I've also used 'sarendipitous' elsewhere. The downside of doing this is that some people think I've just misspelled the word.  Sarendipity  Talk [[Image:Atrissig.jpg|20px]] 01:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * mine is named after the rebel name for AT-AT walkers. Imperialwalker 01:29, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I was torn between this, Darth Emesis, and some others I can't recall at the moment. I went with Gonk because it's short, sweet, canon, and I figured somebody else would take it if I didn't.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 01:39, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Back when cruising Zelda forums, I picked this as an all-purpose name refering to an awesome little piece of magic. The Nine-nine-seven is just a cool number in my opinion. Now I guess it just means "Chaos' Fire," as the Zelda connection is pretty much moot at this point. Din&#39;s Fire 997 02:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Mine came from a Werewolf:the Apocalypse character of mine. His mentor's names were Crystal (who died) and Vercingetorix. So when he took his Werewolf name, he honored his mentors by using their names in his own. Have used it for tons of stuff since. Crystorix 20:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I got mine from my love of the the dark side. The only thing better then a Sith Lord is a Chaos Sith Lord.Chaos Sith Lord 20:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Mine is a name I use on pretty much every board/community I've joined since mid-2000 or so. It's from a hilariously bad poem I wrote in high school, which contained the image of breathing gelatin.  - breathesgelatin Talk 21:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I developed a distinctly... haphazard style of videogame play with the advent of the 3d-capable platforms (N64, PS1, etc) which earned me the nickname from my friends, and '97 is my graduation year. Dangerdan97 18:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Seth is some Egyptian god of death and destruction. Seems a perfect name for a Sith Lord. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Commander ) 18:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Being English, Cavalier seemed appropriate. The word appears in anything I write, usually as a ship name, or squadron designation.  The One was added when I tried to register Cavalier as my first username and it was taken.  I've adopted it as my username on several boards/forums. - Cavalier One 10:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I've been "Goodwood" on every forum, gaming lobby, chatroom and instant message client I've ever posted to, visited, used or whatnot, so it's only logical to have it as my Wookieepedia handle. Plus I'm a huge Anglophile even though I'm an American.--Goodwood 03:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I hate my username... its the end result of not being able to pick a good nickname for kotor and having a english-to-latin translater bookmarked. I used it for this website because it was only a day or two old and i didn't realise how annoying it would be too type. Tutos Lumenarious 01:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * To be perfectly honest, I quite often utilize online translators to create usernames--most of my online pseudonyms a translation of some word in Italian, Latin, Portuguese, or transliterated Greek. But for my current user, Rouxvas [ROO-vahs], it came down to blind typing and trying to make sense of the gibberish. Still, it suits me just fine. Rouxvas Contact  02:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * i got mine from combining the first letters of each word in my favorite sentence: A Duck Munched It Real Angrily But Luckily...jeez this was harder than i'd expected. Have a guess [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|20px]]  TheOne&OnlyAdmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 12:09, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I got mine from the first name of Anakin Skywalker, and the last name of my own name, which is Kayer!
 * So sign your comments then. -Fnlayson 17:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've used this name for pretty much as long as I've been online: games, communities, whatever. It comes from my brother and I playing basketball one-on-one together.  One would do a move or whatever to beat the other, and the response was "Not bad...for a white boy."  Just our way of keeping the other humble.  :P  WhiteBoy 18:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Mine, Andur Dral'runi, is from andur sunrider and the mando'a words for "Bright Soul". It's not correct Mando'a grammer, but it's cooler that way.


 * Several years ago on a whim I wrote a paragraph describing a dumpy little Dark Age era town called Karohalva. Karohalva the Infallible Pumpkin

 * I have been known as Graestan online for many years. Graestan is from Anglo-Saxon, and means "greystone" - 20:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Klow is derived from my full name, Quentin Lowagie. It's just Q + Low, but in a better way. I made it when I was a teenager - teenagers and kids can sometimes give cruel nicknames, so I prevented this by creating it myself. Klow also happens to be the capital of the fictionnal country Syldavia, in the Tintin comic book series, which are from the country, I come from, Belgium.

 * Because I'm fond of the CIS and droids in general, I chose a droid-like name. Originally I was intending to be Unit 1138, but I decided that that was too unoriginal, so I simply reversed the number. Unit 8311 11:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I based the name, "Kasra" on the last name I used for my character in the first K.O.T.O.R., and instead of putting my character's name, "Vasyl Kasra", I just put the "Jedi" in front, hence, "Jedi Kasra".--Jedi Kasra 14:49, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

 * You may be interested to know that "Tinian" (as in Tinian I'att) is based on "Tine éan," Gaelic for "Firebird." Kathy Tyers named her after the title character from her novel Firebird, whom Tinian was based on. Actually, I suppose I ought to put all this in Tinian's Bts, eh? jSarek 22:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
