Ok.. heres mine, its more complicated than you may believe!

So, i made up this name first for AIM, then later used it for IMDB and here I am on Parley. Now, obviously, my favorite candy is swedish fish, so I went with that (no i am not some sort of swedish swimmer or something :blink:) but, what about the number? Well first I tried significant things, like, say, my bday, or the day COTBP came out, but EVERYTHING was taken, so then i tried like numbers i just liked for no reason, but I guess more people like swedish fish than I thought, so I was taken aback! Finally I just started pressing random numbers with my eyes closed on my keyboard.. and.. viola.. 67 won, lol.

Hmm...

Coldmetal... I recieved in the army. It was my "codename". :lol: Only for fun. Some of the others had names like Firefox and Eagle... They all got animals, and I got a lifeless material...

Good times I've had with that name. Flying with it sucks, because I practically never remembered it was what they called me.

The numbers 491 are just random numbers. Think nothing of them.

Mine started in IMDB (or was it KTTC? I don't remember for sure now). I tried Jack the Monkey and Undead Monkey, but both were taken, so I tried Monkey Named Jack and, voila!

I liked that name, because there were so many funny lines associated with it that monkey.

Weeeell...

I started Parley under the name you see above my av. Terralyn I thought was the most awesome name ever, I found it on a name website somewhere. And just added Captain at the front to make it more piratey. And my real name is Amy. So someone thought (Xena or Das?) of calling me Cat cos of Captain Amy Terralyn. So, yeah :D

Mine's fairly obvious as well, but just in case you didn't get the numbers (I'm sure you probably did, though), 03 is when CotBP came out and 06 is when DMC came out. I thought about making it pirategirl030607, but that was just too long. Plus, it was back in 2003 or so, and the 3rd one wasn't guaranteed to come out in 07. But now it is! Yay!

I love threads like this...I forget about people's usernames all the time! :D

My username is coined from my name, Brook, and "Bookworm," because in middle school I was known as "the girl who reads all the time." My closer friends came up with "Brookworm."

I believe I chose it on IMDB because it was original, and people would still know who I was.

My name came from not being able to get one I wanted, I know within a week I signed up to a few different sites and one had this thing of giving me "name already taken" or "name not acceptable" or something, I had to come up with a lame name with no numbers and at the time I had "Calm Like A Bomb" playing on my music player, I twisted that to get my lame name which was acceptable, I know I had it a few days before IMDb which I only found because of The Matrix Reloaded, bizarrely having the same song at the end of it in a freaky coincidence, the rest is history. :rolleyes:

Independence Day, or ID4 was my favorite movie until about a year ago.

The name ID4EVER came from what I read that they were going to call the sequel, which was ID4-EVER. It also was very catchy, and seemed like the perfect name.

And even when I stopped liking ID4 so much, the name stuck.

Well, I like theatre and pirates. I'm pretty knowledgable about plays and musicals so that's where I got "theatre savvy" from. And there you have it.

I can't remember any of my nicknames from IMDB, but I know this is the one I have currently. I think one of them was JacksMafiosoLass... something like that.

KrissXed

Hmm.... I don't remember where my name came from....

If I remeber correctly... I made it when I was 12 I think. I was signing up for an AOL account that I could mess with people on. I wanted a sexually ambiguous name, but I also wanted something that caught people's attention and that was original. At the time, I recal being in a down person and not really knowing where I wanted to go with life. So I started out with confuzed, but with a K, but it was taken (I really like k's.. if you didn't already know) then, I figured it wasn't origina enough, so I came up with KrissKrossed... but it was too long... so I made KrissXed. And I've been using it ever since. Every once and awhile, I'll add something to the end.. likfe KrissXedOVERU, or KrissXed4Wes, Or KrissXedPyrate... but I really prefer just KrissXed...

And since most people read it just like it looks.. (Kriss-exed) Most people just call me Kriss. And I really like it... so yeah.

:D

My username (and name i sometimes use online) came from one of my friends. In real life Dizzy B is my nickname. (Dizzy Blonde) but I just liked Dizzy in my username. Because I always mix things up all the time and get things wrong, they used to call me a dizzy blonde. If you think of other words that begin with b, you get busy, which I always was. Now think about busy bee. Dizzy B, busy bee. Sound the same, right? So I just got to be called Dizzy or Dizzy B . And its also the name of the character in one of my fave books.

My old username, JackGal, well, thats a bit obvious lol.

My name is Will, my middle name begins with a K and my surname is Williams. I know the K looks a little ostentatious in there but it breaks up the name nicely. Will Williams looks like a written stutter.
