How Did You Get Your Username?

Mine comes from ages ago when I was in middle school.  I can't remember the exact details, but I recall once making a joke related to "bacon flavored toothpaste" and some friends started calling me Bacon Man.  It became my middle school band nickname and kinda stuck until my Sophomore year of high school, when I left band.

Considering I had no idea for any others, I started using BaconMan as a username on YouTube and a few other things.  Since then I've used it for pretty much anything.  I started adding 8910 to the end because I would, on occasion, come across a site or something where I needed to enter a username where BaconMan would be taken.  I find that 8910 is almost never added to the username and so I could always use that combination of numbers at the end of my username to get the name BaconMan.

And so, on pretty much everything I'm registered with, I'm BaconMan8910.

 

I got my name when I used to play Counter Strike 1.6 way back when it was released on Steam. I used to joke profusely which occasionally baited some people into arguments when my clan played in pub matches. My inconsistant personality and the random joking coupled with my random playing style which invoked people to call me a hacker because of the insane shots I used to make. Someone eventually said, “Anyone else catching those sporadic bullets in the face?” Then I later donned the name Sporadic Bullet when I just shortened it to Sporadic a little while after that.



You weren't hacking. Just prayed daily to the hit reg god that oversees Counter Strike. I had games where I was one\two shooting everyone and games where I couldn't headshot anyone no matter what. Curse you almighty hit reg god.

Anyway Doomguy simply comes from the nameless marine in the PC game Doom. Nothing fancy, just stuck with it since it's easy to remember.

 

Bedheadred is a character by the tshirt company David and Goliath. I saw her on a pair of pj bottoms at Target. She has wild red bedhead that looks like my hair. Sorry, no fun Steam story or me flavored toothpaste.


@bedheadred flavored toothpaste ......wut? lol

 

Spoiler

That's pretty much it.

 

My display name is Ben B...because well my name is Ben.

But my actual username for DTR is "M-theoria"

I had just watched steins gate so was going through a phase where I was obsessed with time travel and parallel universes and came across a term called "M Theory" which getting from Wikipedia

 

ill share when it again when im ready

 

I found the phrase that makes my username in a YouTube comment originally (I know, how oh so unoriginal). It was below a Michael Moore video I think. I've sort of forgotten which video it was. Someone said 'Veritas Odium Parit my friend', and I looked up what the words translate into from Latin. Turns out it means 'Truth begets Hatred'. So I thought about it for a while and decided to use it as my new username (I didn't like my old one because it was associated with a person I haven't been with since Sixth Form). So my username has sort of changed over the years from old ones I used with online games like Diablo 2. But, I use half of the current username in Diablo 3 due to it being too long for it. So I will sometimes shorten the name if the site/online game cannot take so many characters.

I know, I seem rather fickle when it comes to usernames xD

 

Hikikomori: noun - Someone who rarely, if ever, leaves their home or room. They withdraw from society and have few friends. Hikikomori also tend to indulge in otaku-esque interests, such as anime and manga and more than likely tend to be NEET.

For the most part that is me. I made my original JD account only a few weeks after watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and I found the word Hikikomori to be an accurate description of myself. While I am now in tech school (so I no longer qualify as a NEET) and I'm looking for a job, I'm definitely still uncomfortable in social surroundings. I also get home as soon as class lets out to minimize the amount of time out away.

I'm almost that bad...
I go out, occasionally. But I rarely associate with others.

As for my name
I'm as about bad off luck wise as Keiichi from Ah My Goddess [obviously without Belldandy]

Oh crap, I just realised that I'm a NEET again...

Anyaway, back in grade 5 or so, I was creating a bunch of random characters for stories and stuff, and the most memorable one was a humanoid cow with a combed-back hairstyle like that of a mafia guy. Thus, Mafia Cow. I just started using it as my username for pretty much everything, and haven't stopped. XD

I would have to see this drawn


If I ever find any of my old school books with it, I'll post it. But from what I remember, it looked crap. XD

 

I used to roam another forum dedicated to the Warriors and Seekers series by Erin Hunter.... "Silver" is my nickname on there and it has stuck with me since. ^_^

 

my username is my first initial, last name, and a special number to me.

 

Mines really basic, My first name starts with a D and the phonetic letter for D is Delta, the AI comes for a web series call Red Vs Blue for Rooster Teeth. So Im Delta the AI

Neat! Isn't 'delta' also a Greek Alphabet?
