Your username's origin?

[Y.O.Morales]

I don't know if this thread has been done before, but here it goes (and for the sake of newcomers):

What's the origin of your username? Mine is an abbreviation of my first and last name, and the 'Morales' is actually my maiden name. The reason is that 'Yamir Ortiz' sound pretty awful both in English and Spanish.

So what's yours?

Last name, first initial. I'm crazy like that!

 

[Xath]

I started posting here for OOC discussion of a D&D campaign, so mine is the name of my character.

What a waste of bandwidth.

 

[khyron1144]

I am named for the Khyron of Robotech, back when I was a teen I was into a villains are cool phase, so I admired Khyron the Backstabber from the Robotech novels I was reading. Then I appended the number 1144 for easy memorability and in case there was already a Khyron on that particular forum.

This is also my name on wizards.community, Shadow of the Dragon, my own forum, palladium books, White Wolf forums, and certain others.

 

[Theron]

It's my first name. When I started my online existence back the days of BBSs, most of the folks on the first one I frequented used their real names and the notion of an alias really didn't occur to me. I've always used a variation on my first or last name as a handle. It's just easier, and it's been handy at cons (I've had a number of people recognize me just from my name on my badge).

ph34r = Fear 1337 (leet) style. I use the name on Conquest mode for Soul Calibur 2 (see also the avatar) and for my Initial D ver3 card.
