My real life name is Amanda, and it's means "loveable", "fit for love".

My username is xmoonprismpowerx (:P obviously) and it's what Serena/Usagi says in Sailor Moon to transform. I pretty much love Sailor Moon and have since I was a kid, so I just was uncreative and hence my username was born. My GT (o moonie o) is just to pwn my love for Sailor Moon AND moons and stars.

Ugh I'm so uncreative XDD

Oh! That's new! Insulting someone because you have a different opinion!

Charles Dickens was paid by the word to write that bloody book.
I'm an English majour. Suck it.

But do feel free to get the last word. ^w^

Sup fellow Matthew.

I made up Zarode when I was making my first HUcaseal. Basically, I wanted a name with the letter "Z" in it, just like the name I used before (Zio). So, there I was, with my friend watching me go "Zaaaa... Zaaaaaa....row. Hm. Zaro....de. Za-row-de!"

Rest is history.

My name means "victory of the people", or just "victory". How boring.

I would also tell the story of how "BIG OLAF", the name, came to be, but that story is pretty R-rated. I'll just give the short version: it's a euphemism for male genitalia.

My given name is Hewbrew for "laughter" or "he who laughs." (Note: I'm not Jewish)

My username doesn't really mean anything, so I'd rather share my old PSU main's name and it's meaning. Gatz is a German-based term/name/title that would roughly mean "companion."

My username is Volcompat321- because I like Volcom, used their stuff a lot when I used to skateboard. Pat is my name, and 321 is the area code of the county I live in.

Nothing special, or creative. In fact, I'm not creative one bit. :P

My name comes from the Genesis story of Jacob and Esau wherein the brothers were beating the shit out of each other in the womb over who would be born first and claim their birthright. Esau won the fight, and when Jacob came out he was still gripping Esau's foot (apparently trying to pull him back in). However, Jacob would later become the inheritor and be titled first born when he cheated Esau out of it for a bowl of stew (that he probably dipped his balls in beforehand). So the name means "Supplanter" or "Heel-Catcher".

As for my username:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/Sinue/Sinue9.jpg?t=1289794090

I got the name from a misspelling of the word "sinew" (tendons) from a book I was reading on Native American culture and spirituality. The chapter described the sun dance ritual in which Lakotan men would pierce their nipples with shards of bone, tied them to lengths of "sinue", and hoisted into the air by them until either their flesh tore or they received a vision.

But I can honestly say that the backstory behind your username is brutal.... You sir, I dub the most hardcore username maker I've come across.

Yeah, I read something about native american rituals for a class once. I recall something similar to that... (Whoever invented it was a masochist. It had like ten different ways they pierced their flesh and hung things from their skin)

Tetsaru
Nov 15, 2010, 06:34 AM
If I recall, I was named after my great grandfather. My name is Greek for "healer," and was also the name of a Greek hero who led the Argonauts to obtain the Golden Fleece. Should be easy to figure out now. ^^

My last name is "Holder." I am in no way related to the current U.S. Attorney General... I think...

The name "Tetsaru" was made up by a friend of mine years ago in an attempt to come up with a Japanese-sounding name for me. He was wanting to become a manga-ka later on in life, and for one of his story ideas, he made characters based off of our friends; thus, Tetsaru was the name of the character based off of me. Since then, I've used it as my online alias. :)

From my understanding, the original meaning of David is uncertain, though it may have roots as "friend" or "dear".

My real name means "Loyal, Famous by Glory Prince" or something like that.

My Username is really old, since my first login on the Internet.

"Leon" is nothing special, its just a name I like. I guess I started to like this name with Cervantes de Leon from Soul Calibur.
"Alabard" is one of my favorites types of weapons. Also, I usually change this second name, using "di Luna" for example.

Allison_W
Nov 15, 2010, 07:14 PM
My first name, Allison, means "noble or kind," which I found cutely ironic, given that I am neither. It is also age- and region-appropriate and isn't one of the many, many names with a meaning like "gift of God" or "blessed by God" or "beloved by God" or anything else having to do with this "God" character, and both concerns went into its selection.

My last name, which begins with a W, means "traveler," "foreigner," or "pilgrim," which seemed somehow appropriate. It also sounds really cool. Honest.

The origin of my username should be obvious in light of the above.

Tylor: Middle england I think, means tiler of roofs.
Roderick: I think it means famous king.
McLaughlin: No idea if the Irish meaning is the same, but the Scottish version means "son of the expert sailor."

Some forums I go by my last name, other forums I go by Obsidian, which is a volcanic rock. A couple sites I go to I use Affable Rattlesnake, which came from a Metal Gear name generator I saw here a long time ago. It amused me so I hung on to it.

My handle on here is basically just my first PSO character's name.:) She was a Whitill HUnewearl, and I played around with a bunch of elven-type syllables to get the Whitill result for some reason. I think I wanted some kind of certain drop?

As for my real name... really boring! Ashley. According to Behind the Name and other various sources, it means "Ash tree clearing" from Old English.:)

sCI
Nov 18, 2010, 06:57 PM
sCI = Abbreviation for Scilace = 1st character name I used in PSO = messed up form of the word Solace = ~"Comfort from sorrow" = What PSO ment to me when I started playing, or rather my brother did. It made me feel good from the world troubles.

MAXrobo
Nov 20, 2010, 02:01 PM
the first part of my username actualy came from the bomberman character Max from bomberman generations. I got PSO for gamecube right after I had finished playing that game, and he was my favorite character. So I named my first character max. also i just like the name so i stuck with it :)

the second part "robo" comes from my love of anything mecha related. I added it on because just Max is always taken.

Jinketsu
Nov 21, 2010, 10:51 AM
Jinketsu stands for 'great man' or 'hero.' My screenname used to be "The Hero's Legend" as a reference to Zelda (being a huge Zelda fan), then while in a big otaku phase, found the japanese phrase for it - "Jinketsu no Densetsu." I just took it from there.

As a bonus, any time I make a female character, I name her the female counterpart of Jinketsu: Retsujo. Though with the attachment I have for my FFXI character (of which I've been playing for over 7 years now), I'm beginning to consider that character as 'Retsujo's hurrah' and consider other names for future female characters created.

Woo history.

I don't know my given name's meaning. It's Scott. (Nice to meet you!)

Kion
Nov 21, 2010, 11:41 PM
I have two older sisters and my parents weren't planning on having any more kids; and then they made me by mistake. On the bright side, I wasn't another girl, so they gave me the name is "Benjamin", or "son of my right hand".

As for my user name, "Kion" is Japanese 気温 (temperature). Basically in manga there are tons of cool character names in English from random words, Spike, Vicious, Kite. It kind of made me jealous (stop taking all of our cool words), so I figured I search for a Japanese word that sounded like a name but wasn't and use that.

Nov 23, 2010, 07:13 AM
As for a meaning of my given name... Scraps or bits of paper, such as the perforated edges of paper for tractor feed printers or the tiny rectangles punched out from data cards.

Username: CIG- is a acronym for Cause im God... Really it has no ties to religion. It was something I came up with in Highschool when I 1st started playing PSU. My sophmore year I was playing football in highschool and one of the seniors would start calling me Smoker, because of the way I talk. So when I was thinking of a name, I thought about what I could tie into to smoking and that was what I thought of originally. That is also the name of my 1st character on PSU.
