[The Sum of Zero]

I just did.

I came up with my current username (first for Xbox, then I reused it when I signed up here in 2014ish), thinking it was a math joke (since I suck at math. There IS NO sum of zero.).

I just discovered this rave dance music with the same name, and it predates me coming up with my name. And it actually jams.

 

[Ballthyrm]

I use a random name generator because I couldn't be bothered.
Can't do any more original than that.

 

[kanjobazooie]

My nseruame is grioinal.

 

[Hudo]

My name was given to me in Japan by a drunk guy who had trouble pronouncing my name and so he came up with that short version of it, which then others over there also called me by.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Mine is work in progress.. .. ..

 

[Dice]

No one would ever use this name. No way.

 

[Ribi]

I made mine and then googled... Turns out it was actually too original and only my posts showed up in a Google search. So I had to reassess the situation.

 

[BlackTron]

No Dice

 

[FunkMiller]

I don't know if anyone's still a fan enough of Frank Miller to get anywhere near using my username other than me

 

[V1LÆM]

when making a username i always do a search online for it and see what comes up. i like to pick something that isn't unique so that it throws up a lot of results which makes it a bit more difficult for people to search for me. so no i guess i don't like original usernames.

i share my full real name with a famous person so if people search for me then they get a thousand results about that person. even my nickname is shared with a famous person so that won't work either. i picked nightmare-slain because i love bloodborne but if you search for it then it will of course bring up loads of bloodborne stuff! the only place i use this name is on here so you could do "nightmare slain neogaf" but you'd need be a user here to know that i'm here so it kinda cancels itself out.

years ago i had a bad case of someone stalking me online so it comes from that. i've relaxed a bit the last few years so i'm a bit more open online but i still be careful of what people can find about me. this forum is the only place i post online outside a couple other non gaming forums and i don't post as much on them as i do here. maybe a couple posts a week.

 

[AJUMP23]

No one else has my user name.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Gabe Newell stole my username. I'll die on that hill.

 

[mansoor1980]

my username and avatar combo..........

 

[k_trout]

unless I really am a fictional 100 year old Sci fi writer with plastic coated feet then no, Kurt vonnegut beat me to it

 

[-Minsc-]

I have hyphens in my user name.

 

[The Stig]

Not really. After all, I'm the 2nd Stig

 

[BossLackey]

Not yet. I like to use two words together that normally wouldn't. But still makes sense.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Mine was shameless stolen from an internet video and the avatar was from a forum member so, no.

 

[Richard Packer]

I come from a long line of strong Richards.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

It's not! What!

 

[Happosai]

It's original but not my IP. Few Gaffers actually live up to having a character IP as their user than bender or MasterCornholio

Here's trivia about it though. Some banned members disliked my user so much, they created an animated GIF on it. In that case, I suppose they were unaware it's not original...and then inadventenly made it original.

 

[Cohetedor]

Mines a nickname given me 30 years ago in Spanish class in high school, a bad mashup for the Spanish word for rocket and matador, it's a made up word so no chance of being duplicated.

I live in a Spanish speaking country now. I'll second that's original. Reads like 'firework' but adding 'dor' to the end makes me think of a supervillian made from explosives.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Mines is way too unique, so

 

[Alex Anderson]

Alexander, son.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

The real name of a cheeky bastard who specializes in disguises, partakes in cigar tokage with The Boss, sweet talks the ladies all while looking like a debonaire chad whilst doing so.
Let us not forget he is wanted by the united states government, is for hire and if you cannot find help, and if you can contact them, hire The Fucking A-Team.

 

[TransTrender]

No.

 

[GymWolf]

Mine was modified by a supermod in another forum, it's an aberration so like my last name is kinda unique.

(My grandfather misspelled his own last name when he registered my father in the registry office so we have an already pretty rare last name with a wrong letter in the middle).

Imagine picking black and putting an i instead of the a, how many senior blick do you know?

Is your name ludo?

 

[IntentionalPun]

No but I wouldn't care.

This account isn't terribly important to me.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I think I win.

 

[Hudo]

Is your name ludo?

Nope. But the picture is pretty close visually.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I think I win.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Yeah that was me. Talking to myself.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Pretty dope for looking that up. And their supposed meaning ♡

Nevertheless I could've chosen 11:11 or 3:33. It's a daily thing •

I heard it from some female co-worker some years ago. Obviously, it's as valid as astrology but yeah.

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

Spoiler: Spoiler

….Super Baby Method?

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Well there must've been a reason all ancient sites around our crater earth were build on the foundation of astrology.

But regarding the interpretations I'm merely not versed enough.

So yeah i was beaten

Thanks a lot The Cockatrice

[NecrosaroIII]

I stole my name from Dragon Warrior IV, so nope.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

With the frustration of trying to pick a name on XboxLive or PSN that wasn’t taken I’ll assume I’ve never had the pleasure of having a name all to myself and it’s a dream that I will never live to see..

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Been using made-up fantasy character names in the Soulsborne games for years, and GrildonTundy is the one I used for Demons Souls remake right around when my GAF account got approved.

Here are a few made up just now:

Trimbulo Muldstein
Ricardio Pfeisen
Briffen Nute
Tort Wellen
Etsetter Rah

[navii]

I am a fan of Serial Experiments Lain, Lain name was taken so I used Navii (Navi was taken too) from the computer/smart phone she uses. Then James Cameron comes up with "na'vi" for Avatar species.

 

[ReBurn]

I don't even remember how i settled on mine. It was like 25 or so years ago.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Definitely not.
