Where Did You Get Your Username From?

[Mellow Ezlo]

You took a list of 1000 names, assigned each a number and then used a random number generator to pick which username would be yours.

Precisely. Great work.

Randomly took one from an anime I was watching at the time.

 

[Terminus]

Wow have I really not posted here? Anyhow, when I first joined ZD about three years ago I'd just finished another reread of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series (IMHO some of the best classic science fiction available). The capital of the First Foundation, the galaxy's new governing body was the planet "Terminus" at the very edge of the galaxy. I found the technologies and the social experiments of Terminus and the First Foundation to be utterly intriguing, pus I thought the name sounded cool and it wasn't taken, so I went with it (plus the capital of the Old Empire and the Second Foundation was "Trantor" and that doesn't sound nearly as cool as "Terminus).

Terminus is the sole planet orbiting an isolated

star. Its nearest inhabited neighbor is Anacreon, 8 parsecs (26 light years) away, and it lies approximately 10,000 parsecs from the capital of the First Galactic Empire, Trantor, near the galactic center. It is believed to be the planet farthest from the galactic centre, hence its name: Terminus is Latin for "end of the line".

There are almost no visible stars in its sky, only the huge lens of the Milky Way Galaxy. The nearby stars of the Province of Anacreon are known as "The Diamonds", with the expanse of the Galaxy described as "The Lens". The Ecliptic plane of Terminus appears to be near-perpendicular to its orbit around the Galactic nucleus, as the Lens is visible in the night sky throughout its year, while the Diamonds appearance appears to be seasonal. The visibility of the Magellanic Clouds is not discussed.

[Killjoy262]

I enjoy Red Link from FS and FSA "The True" was me being a fool and not thinking the whole thing through. either that or someone already had the name "Red Link". Well, I wanted it changed from my previous name(cant remember it now. xD)

 

[Zelda18]

I was going to name myself Princess Zelda, but that was taken, as was Zelda123. I finally chose Zelda13 because I was 13 years old at the time. I was going to change it when I turned 14, (To Zelda14) But that was taken too. When I turn 15 I'll probably try to change it.

 

[Leo_night_elf]

I wanted something that sounded cool so I went to http://hylianame.info/ and typed in my first name and got Leoni. So I shortened it to Leo but still had ni left over so I thought night and added the elf to the end of it.

 

[Mipha]

Because I had a Malon avatar and someone said that I'm Malon now and that gave me the idea to change my name.

[Mellow Ezlo]

My current username is completely original and extremely inventive! It's totally not my IRL first name.

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

Well unlike you, my username is my first name in real life. All my friends/aquantiences call me Philosophies About Bok Choy. I find it incredibly rude when people shorten it to "Bok."

Whatever you say Bokky-Baby

Remnant is the world RWBY takes place in and Rassilon because he's cool

 

[linkypete]

Mine came from my nickname (Pete), the villain in Toy Story 2 (Stinky Pete), and Link. Put them all together, and that's my username.
