Board 8 > How did you choose your Gamefaqs name?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Xiahou from Xiahou Dun, because I was obsessed with Dynasty Warriors at the time. (I still love the games, and he's still one of my top characters!)

Shake from Master Shake on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which was one of my favorite shows back then. Even now I have to admit that show likely had a huge hand in shaping my sense of humor!

Its based off of a project I did in high school. I used a picture of Sektor from Mortal Kombat and figured my character wore it because he was ugly. I tried to use it for my Hotmail account, but Uglyface was already taken so I chose Uglyface2. Then I got an account here and just went with Uglyface2.

Squall is my favorite character. 4 is my favorite number. Pretty straightforward.

11 year old me was creating my Starcraft Battle.net account, and the name came to me as it matches the F-Zero "colour animal" naming scheme. The capitalization was because AlTeRnAtInG CaPs ArE cOoL

I was Raizen91 on the Yu Yu Hakusho Dark Tournament and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 PS2 boards. I was 12 (suck it CJayC) and an idiot. I got the name from a (no-shit) printed out word document I downloaded about the Three Kings saga of Yu Yu Hakusho. One of the three kings was named Raizen and I thought he looked dope. I was making an account and when it asked me to choose a username I looked over at that document and was like "Raizen... 91 I guess. I was born in 1991. That's how usernames work, right?"

About a year later there was some call to invade the GameCube DBZ Budokai board for like basically no reason at all. It was fucking stupid. I participated and the next day I was banned. I think it was right before Christmas. I felt like shit but I just made a new account. I wanted something similar to Raizen and I had bought some of the Yu Yu Hakusho Three Kings Saga DVDs which had these really terrible special features, one of which being "name translations." Raizen loosely translated to "Zen of Thunder" according to this dumb-ass DVD and its half-assed translating so I went with it.

Thus I am stuck with a poorly-translated stupid name based on a stupid name I came up with at age 12 that was based on an informational word document about an anime that wasn't even out yet.

Llarian is a username from the ship's BBS in the Star Trek novel Spock's World by Diane Duane. The user can usually be found in the Common Room, described as "opinion, informed and non-, ranting and raving permitted, names not necessary". So, essentially b8. Haha.

It's been available in some, but not all places I go online. I'm always surprised if it's already been taken. I imagine it's pronounced like the double L in Lloyd, but I typically say "Luh-lahreean" in my head.

I also have found that I'm a tiny TOS fish in a big Trek pond since selecting this handle, so I feel you @Tom_Bombadil.

Quite into shooter type games, and I decided to use Silvergun from the game Radiant Silvergun, a game I played a lot, and then put Dark in front of it.
---

I was playing FFVI and the spell Haste2 was used. The animation was cool, so I named myself after it. Then I got banned, so I put a _ in it.

I was playing through Baten Kaitos at the time and was a fan of Mizuti. She would refer to herself as The Great Mizuti so I took inspiration from that.

I think it's a pretty cool name.

Was playing some game online (Unreal Tournament maybe) and a couple of people in one match had names ending with worm, I changed mine to this. Played quite well that game, so kept using it for a few months. Must have created my account here around that time - it's the only place I use it online now.
