I used to be named AzzyTheGamer, I got this name from a book a read and the main characters name was Azoth. (great book btw) Then I was Azzy, same reason.

Finally I reached MrPerfect. No real reason behind it other than Im just show how I am way better than Noona :)

I was roughly 9 or 10 and watching teen titans at my cousin's house, it was 10 o'clock at night which was a big deal for us and this episode was running while we were playing crappy dragonfable:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYJruECmUlc

My cousin made a rogue and he ran with a name that was very close to his name (kfcmatt, he is quite the sucker for the fried chicken) and it was my turn to make a character- and me being 10 years old- and I was stuck with a name, because for some reason this was a life changing decision for me. So I was stuck on the character creation screen and I didn't know what to do, so I just kept watching teen titans. Eventually in the episode, Killer Moth yells his name out, and we thought it was funny so we started exclaiming Killer Moth into the air in a bunch of really dumb voices, and soon our words blended into "Killamoth." We thought this was even funnier than the Killer Moth thing, so we kept going and dying of laughter until he told me that I should make Killamoth the name I'd use. I was hooked. So I made my warrior with the name Killamoth, and the name stuck for a long time. And now I use Prandonb which is a half-spoonerism of Brandon P which is just my first name + my last initial.

Back when I was 13 years old, there was a class on "How to Use the Internet" at our middle school. One of our assignments was to sign up for an email account. My favorite car at the time was the Plymouth Roadrunner.

I decided that my name should be "tomroadrunner", and it has stuck with me for 13 years.

Most people think it's a reference to the cartoon character, I don't really care enough to correct them. At LANFest my wife attended as "cyncoyote", so I've sort of accepted the reference at this point.

My immediate (and most of my extended) family is crazy religious, which I never got into. I always found it a little strange that despite all the "normal" religious things, as well as some of the batshit crazy stuff they believe, they are all absolutely against the idea of the rapture. I added a 4 as kind of a throwback to those old days of adding a ton of numbers to your name in the early net.

When the internets were just starting up and AOL was taking off we got an account at home. I had to come up with a screen name for myself and being the clever 14 year old I was I settled on a 'cool' spelling of the word fish- "PHISH". All caps BECAUSE THATS AWESOME. The next few years I was continually confused when people would ask me if I'd ever been to any shows lately. "What did that mean!?!, why do they ask me that!?" Then I found out a band had been using MY name. Jerks!

I stuck with that name through 5+ years of TFC. Clanmates would always call me "FEEEESH" on roger wilco/ventrillo so towards the end of TFC I adopted the equally clever Pheesh. Using PH in place of the letter F, brilliant! Thanks 14 year old me!

PS: Phaser you will always be Seph to me, suck it up.

When I made my first AOL account (with my parents hovering over my shoulder), I made it the nickname my sister called me (for being weird) oddjobbob, with 705 tacked to the end as my birthday.

I used that for about 5-6 years, until I changed it to Bobbeh (Bobby with an EH instead, god i'm clever) on this Naruto forum I used to frequent.

I got Xbox Live about 1-2 years later, and made it Bobbeh705, since Bobbeh was already taken. After about a year of that, I got pretty bored of the name, so wanting something creative, I decided to go as 'effeminate' as I possibly could, and ended up with Unic0rnSunshine.

I stuck with it for about 3 years, shortening it to Unic0rn at some point.

Since then, I've gone to just Bobby, considering that's all anyone called me anyway, just a matter of not confusing people.

The only issue is that there are other Bobby's in the community already, so I may have to change it again. *_*

The show is Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. The character is Phil Ken Sebben, a parody of the Falcon Seven character from the original Birdman cartoons, who was basically Birdman's boss, and is now his boss at a law firm. He's voiced by Stephen Colbert. The show is funny as hell if you watched any of these old cartoons, and even if you didn't.

Why I've stuck with that alias over the last few years, I have no idea. So few people can pronounce 'entendre' correctly that I just go by "M.E." in mumble.
