This thread is for those who like to show the story about how they found his/her user name either by origins or inspirations. For me, my name, MakotoShinobi (MakoShinobi in SS2), inspires the first name from the Japanese name generator. Based on my identification, the results of the name I get is "Saruwatari Makoto". After I found my first name, I decided to pick my last name as Shinobi. The last name is originally inspired from the Legendary Maiden Nakoruru author, NakoShinobi, because I feel like it. However, whenever he sees my name, he may feel uncomfortable on my user name. Therefore, I changed my mind, and I named it after the video game series, Shinobi. There are two names with slight spelling difference. One is Shinobu, the other one is Shinobi. I pick Shinobi, because I personally think it sounds cuter.

Hi Mako and Pyro,

Well, mine was just a phrase I used when i was cutting trees down with a friend of mine on a side job some years ago... We got highly drunk on beer and fired up the chainsaws at 8am on a saturday morning.. I was operating this special pole saw we call a whiz banger.. Basically, it's a huge circular saw blade on the end of a really long metal pole. Used for cutting thicker mid level branches.. Well I was cutting on this job i went to, and the whiz banger kicked back on me and flew out of my hands and went for my legs.. Being drunk i didn't move too fast and luckily it didnt hit me.. But afterwards, I was told I screamed at it and called the whiz banger an effin WingerDinger..

I was searching for a kongregate username. I wanted to put some X's (specifically, 6 in total) and the kongregate usernames have a maximum of 16 characters (I think) so I had another 10 chars to use. I figured I would go with Psycho as one word since many of my friends call me psycho (I swear this has nothing to do with my mental health or anything) but I needed to find a word with 4 letters. I was looking at the collabs section on kong and I found a piece called Fade.

My real name is Robert, but I go by Bob. I just combined the 2. The 3222 comes from my original AOL screen name which was taken and 3222 was the easiest number for me to remember. Ahh the days of dial-up on original AOL ..

my story is quiet simple. my first ss1 account name was M1ha. which is just a leet spelling for my real name, Mihael.
in ss1 i felt very weak during a guild comp. we ran bra all the time and my lvl 202-217 shammy had a hard time in it. i just couldn't image grinding the shammy so high till i could be helpfull in an even harder arena like pga. so i wanted to reroll as a tank. and that's the hypno. the problem was that we needed in ss1 a new account for a good reroll, for power leveling oneself with 2boxing and for the pg quests. all i needed to start it was a name. since i knew it would be a hypno i just combined my rl nick name and hypno.

I was learning to snow board and I was...not good...not at all. By the end of the day I'd fallen so much that it looked like I had a combination of welts, bumps, scrapes and bruises that I dubbed a snowburn...kinda like a rug burn or sun burn just due to the snow.

Those are very interesting. My Kong name is Hetiekae. Which is quite simple: My name is Keith Keith Htiek Hetiekae (To make it readable. ) My user name on SSC/SS2 is both Rhisten. I made this up myself, and he is the main character of a book I'm currently working on.
