Reasons For Your Username

[Inagi]

Well, I changed mine to Zero, because Zero is awesome.

Personally, I think the name is just cool, as well.

Not all that much too it, I guess

[Blue Carbon]

The first time I used the username Blue Carbon, It was not Blue Carbon. The first time I used it, It was Blue-Carbon_600. I picked Blue Carbon, because my favorite color is blue and I love the game NFS Carbon for the Wii.

[Storm]

I could of sworn i've already posted here... meh!

I like X-men, and at the time of this name-change (I was formerly Valentine89 but after a year of having that name I got bored and there was many people appearing with Vincent-based and FF7-based usernames) I was watching the movie trilogy almost like people watch their favorite soap operas. Storm is one of my favorite characters, along with Nightcrawler, so there came the name.

I'm also well-known for loving thunderstorms and having a little thing for running around in them on hot summers days if theres a storm. And before some people begin to think i'm suicidal- the storms here in the UK are not as dangerous as in the US and other countries!

[Taco-Calamitous]

I like tacos! Both hard and soft are satisfying to my taste buds! I could eat a thousand tacos in one day! My leg has been hollowed out so it could fit the spicy goodness within! Sometimes, it hurts my leg when I walk... but the benefit is worth the sacrifice!

Here is a quote from a brilliant scholar on the subject!

Is it the flavored meat or the tangy cheeses that I like most about tacos? I don't know and thats what makes them a mystery.

A mystery, indeed!

Wuv, Yer Mom

(PS. Back in the day, there was a legendary ska band called "Telegraph." Wanting to steal some of their glory, a foolish young man took their name as his own. The results... were chilling...)

[Casanova[OCAU]]

Casanova[OCAU]

Well my best mate's girlfriend and I were doing this personality quiz thing, and I got Casanova, and she got Girl Next Door. I dared her to put hers on her msn scrn name, and she dared me to put mine on my msn screen name.. and I did.. and it kinda stuck as a CS tag that I use.

OCAU is another forum I use. Overclockers Australia. Was the first forum I've joined onto and still quite an active member there.

[FF_FrEaK]

Hey I think I posted here too, but oh well.

Mine is pretty obvious isn't it? I love FF!!! I think I'm like one of those Star Wars nerds, the difference is that I like FF. I collect action figures, magazines, music, and anything that is relating to FF.

[Aerif]

Hmm... Wasn't there already a thread like this that we all posted in?

My name (believe it or not) was supposed to be just a simple anagram of A Fire (a name I'd been using in an RPG Maker Project). However, I later remembered that I'd signed up for a Final Fantasy site and I had an epithany, remembering FFVII.

I think if I'd know I would've used a different name, but nowadays my name is memorable and easy to spell

[The Stig]

mine is achiiles because he was one of the best warriors of all time plus its a great name from a great film

[Govinda]

Well well.

My first name was Shiva. That came about when I was signing up in the town library and said to my friend, 'Think of something to do with FF that won't make me sound like a man or a 5 year old.' I had that name for ages, actually.

And then, Govinda, stolen from a Kula Shaker song of the same title. Also, the Hindu god of cows, land, and the senses. Neat, eh? God of cows. Right on.

Sredni Vashtar was probably my favourite name, but it confused everyone to death. I did enjoy seeing people try to spell it, though. Lifted from a story called The Chicken Shed by Saki.

Pablo Honey. Yes, well, went a bit para. And I was still called Govinda anyway by everyone. Names stick like mud, and I guess i'd gotten used to being referred to as Govinda. Plus, every time I see my name the chorus of the song pops into my head. Good stuff.

Thinking of changing it soon though. Govinda is so last year.

[Maridia]

I picked Setzer since it sounded cool really...plus he looks rather intense in the game so why not. I chose it sorta on a wim.

Then I was Rufus after watching Advent Children since I thought not so much in that, but in VII he was badass with his awesome coat and shotgun.

For a while I was Testament. A call back to Xenosaga from Albedo where he becomes a member of the Testament.

And there you have it.

[Asectic]

Yunaff10 and FF Fan- Since I used to like FF a hell lot before.
Anime_Lvr- because I thought that anime was cool
Elie- Not only because I liked rave master, I liked Elie. She is (was) so cute/pretty!
Yuki- Because I thought that Elie was over long time ago for me since I have to wait for more chapters to read and that during that time I was reading Fruits Basket plus the episodes

[Bleachfangirl]

Bleachfangirl- my first internet identity and probably my permanent one. I picked it just because I love Bleach and all my friends have constantly told me I act like a fan girl when it comes to manga or anime. I didn't know what else to put down since I'm not the most creative person. This name is kind of stuck on me, so I haven't made another one yet.

[Dark_Yojimbo]

well for me, i wanted to relate to FF somehow and Yojimbos pretty powerful with zanmato. Also i cracked up when i found out in the storyline where yojimbo got his name..."someone shouted out Yo, Jimbo" its gold

[~FANTASY-ENDER~]

Why did you choose your username?

It's a code name that I was given when I was overseas.

Does it mean something special to you, or is it because you thought it was cool?
Where does it derive from?

It means a little special to me, I was given that name because I always seemed to have my mind in a different world, a fantasy world.

[Phantom]

Well, as most of some of you know I joined here in July of 2005 under the username "Ultima". Do to me losing my password for it back in April last year I was forced to make a new account and entered under the name "UltimaMKII" as sort of a spin-off to my original name, but it got kinda boring so I changed usernames to "Phantom". First off:

Ultima: When I joined back in 2005 I chose this specific name because Ultima was my favorite spell in the FF series. It was really strong so that's what I based my username after.

UltimaMKII/Current Username: Phantom: After making the new account back in April last year I chose Ultima again but added MKII behind it as a sort of reminder that Ultima is back and brand spanking new, lol. But after a while it got kinda boring so I switched to Phantom. I chose Phantom because I was obesssed with the anime Blood Plus and one of the bad guys named Carl aka "Phantom" was so cool looking. He was a strange yet Mysterious guy that always wore masks kinda like a Phantom of the Opera scene accept there was no white mask it was a black wing mask, really cool. I've gotten used to being called Phantom and I still love Blood Plus. As long as I'm here The Phantom will live!

[Fluffy]

I originally registered under the name "Fluffy Moogle". I chose it because umm... well, I liked moogles, and on FFVI always used Mog. I wanted to kind of add my own little touch or something though, so I just made it "Fluffy Moogle". Not sure why I chose to make it that though. I suppose it sounded cute. =P Anyway, everyone just called me "Fluffy", so I sent a PM, I think to Merlin, to please shorten my name to just "Fluffy". And here I am.

This is actually the only place I use this name other than instant messengers. I've actually wanted to change those, too, but I've been too lazy and just stuck with them. Oh well, too much work to change them. Maybe I'll do it someday... eventually.

[loner-kid]

I choose my name because it was fairly accurate, I'm quite quiet so people have to put some effort into understanding me, most people can't be bothered

[Pete]

You guys wouldn't believe it, but my real name is Pete. It's totally crazy I know. What's even crazier is that I'm the third Pete in my family, after my father and his father before him.

[Riddler]

I chose my name because I like to be very mysterious like those random characters and bosses that just pop up out of nowhere

[Tiger Lily]

I'm Tiger Lily, not because of Peter Pan as some seem to think (though Peter Pan pwns), but because of a series of picture books I read as a kid called "Rupert and Friends".

I was thinking one day and remembered my dad telling me that when I was four or so, I saw a little asian girl in the park and said "Hey, it's Tiger Lily!" Because Tiger Lily was the name of the little asian girl in Rupert.

Liked the name, nicked it and now it is mine. Bahaha.

EDIT:: Every time I see this thread, I swear I've posted in it. Now I have. Yay.

[Flash]

I got my name from my dog's name and my birthday. How I came to it i don't really know but all I can remember is that I couldn't think of any cool names to use.

You pronounce it Flash zero four eighteen ninety-one but you can call me Flash.

[Sean]

My original username was DragonBlade, because it's just the screen name I went by for awhile.

Then I changed it to DB for awhile, since 99% of people just called me "DB" for short, then switched it to Sean on that old account. Sean being my real name.

Dirgon is my overall main character name or tag used when it comes to video gaming. Well, I suppose. Dirgon was a name I made up when I played RO because DragonBlade was taken, and was the name of my main (and only real) character in World of Warcraft for ages.

[Cain Highwind]

Little known fact about me, several months (I think it was actually December of 99) before I actually registered, I registered as "Setzer" but the whole internet was a scary new thing, and I don't think it actually went through. When I dropped by the site again in early 2001, about a year later, I knew a little more about the internet and my registration actually went through.

When picking out a username, I saw a lot of Squalls and Clouds generally with numbers behind them, and upon seeing Edgar Figaro the mod of the FFT forum at the time, I wanted to choose a full name from an oldschool FF game.

I had JUST beat a Fantranslated FFIV at the time, so the name that popped into my mind was "Cain" (because that's how it's spelled in Japanese versions of the game). And since I knew "Kain" would be a popular name as well, I went with the C spelling.

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of the character, it just had a nice ring to it, and it just doesn't feel right to change it.

[Alice]

Reasons for Username, huh..?

Team Sonic - I was a Sonic fan. I don't think I need to explain. This is the username I used when I joined up here. I'm glad I changed it.

Rings Master - My alternative. And yes, this is Sonic related too. I used this on the TFF Chat(The BLAB one) when it was still alive. I used to get so annoyed when Celtic kept calling me 'Seam Tonic', so I changed to this on the chat(not on the forums). Then he started calling me 'Mings Raster'. ><

Srm49 - Gaming name for online. I also use this when I don't want to use any of the names on this list.

And it is now time...for the legendary usernames that the TFF'ers know me by.


OldBean - Ah yes. I started to hate Team Sonic, and I also didn't like my Set up either. With Team Sonic as a username and a FFVIIAC DP(Plus a crappy signature), I thought I looked too plain...boring. That is where OldBean came in. I saw Neo Necron's sig with the "O RLY" owl, with the top hat on. I sorta got bored and started writing a mini-series about an owl by the name of OldBean out of boredom. I didn't intend to do anything with it really. Just bored. I showed the document to Celtic Silver(Now Nathan) and he liked it. Wanted me to put it on here. So I finally adopted OldBean as a username, and totally changed my DP and sig, and I no longer looked plain. OldBean 1, 2, and OldBean Zero have been made, and I am planning to make good use of the the series.

Zero - I used this for a while on MSN as a nickname since Zero was the main character of OldBean Zero. Eventually one guy messaged me saying something about "Liking Megaman". Lemme make this straight. Zero was not ripped off from Megaman. Actually, I created OBZero before I ever even HEARD of MMZero! And OBZero was actually also created before OLDBEAN HIMSELF was made. Me, fearing people would say 'omg megaman remake like rly', decided to change my MSN name once more.

Zeromune - This is the name of Zero's dark side in OldBean, and is also the name Genesis used when disguised as Zero in OB1. I decided to use this name on MSN to stop all the 'omg megaman' people. Some people actually still believed Zero was a rip-off. And thus I decided to do something bad. Very bad.

OldBean//Zero - I started using this on MSN outta liking the name, and annoying all the remake believers . I may actually start using this name on TFF, but not yet. I'm still decided. I'll think about it.

There goes my username history. I hope you don't enjoy it. xDD

Just kidding.

PS. Credits to Neo Necron for the OB Idea despite the fact I never included him in the credits for some reason. ^_^;

[Furore]

Nathan. Well it's my real name, and since I got a real ID I don't really feel the need for aliases offline, and I guess now that just transferred over to my online life too. I'm glad the name wasn't taken.

[Rikkuffx]

Well I really didnt know what to use for a username on here. i was going to use what I always use "cutebeka" because everyone tells me i'm cute but since it was a final fantasy forum I was joining I wanted something final fantasy. I like Rikku in ffx I thought her weapons were cool and she was all spunky which was fun. So I chose Rikkuffx I am thinking about changing it to something more creative which is a new name ive been using hmm i'm still thinking on it.

[Unknown Entity]

i got my name from the final boss in Tomb Raider: Legend. i thought the boss looked cool!

[Furysetzer]

Fury describes my alter ego when playing hard games. Setzer is my favorite character in my favorite game.

[Usagy]

Usagy has been my online name since I was like 12.
Ok backtracking...long time ago there was this white samurai rabbit at the turtles called Usagi Yojimbo. I had this pimpin' albino pet rabbit that I named after that. Well my rabbit was a gangstah and humped stuff all day long, killed birds (yeah he was crazy) and jumped all around hyper. Well one day he jumped too hyperly and he jumped off from some high box and got paralyzed from the waist down. about two weeks later he died. Since then I've used Usagy (abbreviation of Usagi Yojimbo) as online name, and well it had stayed since then...it's a decent sounding name in my opinion ^^

Peace out

[Furysetzer]

Jeez Usagy, that story is horrible. Reminds me of Where the Red Fern Grows. I still have on of the old manga's for Usagi Yojimbo though. Good comic.
