    Just made that shit up. I was trying to think of something stupid that wouldn’t identify me in any personal way, and this one made me chuckle

    I used the username blackandred56, until one day I used blackrose56, and since then it’s blackrose56 or roserose56. I just liked rose.

    When ICQ was new, I met a girl online that went by Tina. Cute blonde with a gap in her front teeth. She and I would video chat all day while I worked. Many NSFW video chats from her side.

    She named me Tina’s Horny Boyfriend. And I lived in Texas.

    Sadly, we never met and I lost track of her.

    I had a screensaver in the late 90’s that made random but grammatically correct sentences. One sentence said “I once was a vinyl wombat”

    It was the in-game alias of a very skilled swordsman and skirmisher in the MMORPG called Vindictus. We became good friends and played regularly for several years, conquering the toughest horrors, but one day, he never logged back on. So I started using his username to honor his kindness and prowess with the blade. If you’re reading this, just remember that everyone in Lost Paradise [LP] remembers you!

    I don’t remember where my name came from but maybe it’s a variation off the NES game The Astyanax

    It’s just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I’ve used everywhere since.

    I had to make a new name for the then brand new game: league of legends. I was high af and came up with this. Inspired by boss names in wow I guess.

    A resemblance to Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon. It’s my nickname amongst my friends and round the pub (some of whom don’t know my birth name) to the point you could go into my local and ask for the Emperor and someone would point you in the eight direction. So when I signed up online, it made sense to use this name and it has since became my nom-de-plume and is, in effect, my Common Law name.

    My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.
