GG :)

Zomby : been using that since the earliest of days when I needed a callsing in games.
2D : in college people used to say that I was so slim, there's no way I could actually exist in the third dimension. Many of them still call me that way even though I've packed a few pounds over the years.

When I first encountered websites where zomby was taken as a username, I would add the 2D part to it. After a while, it just became natural.

i am what i am

Born this way.

this username 1st start back about 14 years ago, at that time I started to learn about internet and 1 day I want to register an email account (yahoo) and come out with redzrex.

redz: from my name Redza.

rex: obviously from (my fav) dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex.

A long time ago in late Year 4 (4th Grade) I made a joke about a flying goat demon that had wings so tiny it had to flap them rapidly and go 'maa!' to stay airborne. That was the pinnacle of comedy back then, so 'the demongoat' turned into a funny motion you'd do where you'd fold your arms under your opposing armpits and flap your hands - that died off after about a year, but the name stuck.
Kinda wanna change it sometime in future, since 'demongoat' sounds a little too edgy these days for my liking ;P
Some interesting names in here, good thread!

Because I play games, mkay?

On my father's twisted mind it's the appropriate nickname to people with my name. He's that weird. Anyways, my family can't introduce me properly, they just forgot my real name a long time ago, I'm just Sandy.

I was reading through a dictionary (couple of words on each page) and found it.

I killed a guy and assumed his identity.

IGnition7, was going to do iGnition7, but you see, some sites put it up in a wrong way, made it IGnition7. Well, for 7, Its my lucky number lol

I used Godot as a griefer character on Left 4 Dead 1 and kept getting kicked when I joined. I switched so people would have better reactions to playing with me and I can "ding" when people get wailed on by zombies.

Well.. in my initions to playing games...i played a game called "Argentum"(Argentinian game[mycountry]).. Mi first character name was a palading called "Edu el caballero"... But well...with the time i started to play with magues and i did it really well... so ..... guess what?!... Edu el mago was my name ! :D So here it is...more than 10 years now..and im still with the same nick :D.

I'm bad with names so I went to a baby name site for my user name. Same with any RPG game I play. XD

I hug bears

I had my first runescape account hacked due to my stupidity when I was 9. So I made a new account and was stuck at the username portion of the signup. I sat there and thought, "What is a name that depicts strength but awesomeness at the same time?"

Ergo, CombatWars. =.=

So, I'm Gerardo IRL, and my friends in highschool (sarcastically ofc) started calling me Gerardinho comparing me to Ronaldinho, based on my inexistant football skills. The capital H is just random.

My two favorite characters in anime when I was young

Good times back then...

I think it was like first grade or something, but my friends and I used to play neopets (haha), and one of my friends name one of his pets Toboty, for some reason it stuck with me.

I never actually used that name until maybe 2 years ago though, I just remembered it out of nowhere and used it.

My sister was messing with the "Super Duper Hullabalooper" (a children's story) when she was coming up with IGn names, and she created hulaballoon. So I took it.

Took the name from a black rapper on Australian comedy show.

Killed the last guy that used it.

Me and my bro made this name to make fun of all the "gangsters" online. The 14 was his old MotoX number
