Just curious how some of you guys picked your names... and I know some of you just used your already existing screen name or adress name, but the question still stands how did you pick it?

I think I first tried Mickey Mouse, but it didn't work, or I might have just done Prince Phillip, because I thought he was the coolest Prince, and part of one of my fave disney monies!

I took the name Leon from Kingdom Hearts and feminized it.

Mine is the main character in a story I wrote while I was at work. I use it because I know it won't be taken, since it is something that I made up.

Poco was the name of my pet hedgehog.

cuz i like chocolate and teddy bears and cuz im a big piece of milk chocolate

I've been using the screename Loomis for years as I was big horror movie fan a few years back.

Loomis was the name of the boyfriend in Hitchcock's Psycho, which was later used as a tribute to that film in John Carpenter's Halloween (Dr. Sam Loomis, the Donald Pleasance character). Finally, in Scream, a film which tipped its hat to both predecessors, the boyfriend was called Billy Loomis.

Thus, I am the latest in a long line of spooky people - much to the worry of my girlfriend...

Mine is left over from my Lion King forum days. I wanted to have a slightly canonical name - something that fit in with the world of TLK. Simply enough, I picked "Paka", which is Kiswahili for "cat". Swahili and cats - I think that fits with TLK nicely enough.

Paka is now my universal user name. If Paka is unavailable, my second-choice is usually "Karakul" - from the Turkish term "karakulak" which means "black-eared". "Karakulak" is where caracals get their name from, and caracals are my favorite small cat species.

Well, it seems like we have a lot of interesting people here, with interesting stories.

I knew it! (Well the Psycho part anyway). I intended to ask you about this at one point.

Mines an existing email address I have. I set up a domain about 6-7 years ago "2099net.com" and was going to do an index of all of Marvel's 2099 Comics - the best comics Marvel has ever done (until the mass creator walkout when Marvel sacked the editor - eh fellow comic-geek Loomis?) Of course with my typical procrastination nothing was done until my domain lapsed and I saw no point in renewing it.

But I will finish my Looney Tunes site!

Well, sorry Phillip, the Beast is the best Prince, and since his rumoured name is Adam...

I've been Cinderelly over at Disneysites for a few years now. I guess i picked Cinderelly b/c i've always favored her character the most. Also, when i was little i used to watch the movie over and over until my mom got sick of it. As a result, i got the nick name Cinderelly by my mom...

Oh and i do have two terrible stepsisters and i do clean my fair share... But i can't sing anywhere as good as her and i don't have a fairy godmother..... (though one would come in handy at times )

Nothing fancy or exciting here.

I've posted on this site a long time, even at the old OneCenter board, under my name. One day, my mom looked over my shoulder and was flabbergasted that I was using my real name on the Internet (there were a lot of sick Internet predator stories on the news at the time), and saw that many other people has aliases, so she demanded that I make one up. I liked Monsters, Inc., and I liked the name Sulley. My mom is still suspicious of how this forum works, and sometimes calls it a chatroom, where she has forbidden me to go except with people I know, like from school or something. She'd kill me if she ever found out I posted this. She's sweet though, and I get a kick out of her paranoia.

It did actually cross my mind that 2099 referred to the short-lived Marvel series of 2099 comics. Only a comic geek would associate the two I guess.... I think they came along during my lapse in comic collecting, but I'm back in full swing now...

Nice to know the geeks are everywhere.

I always wondered what your screen name meant! And for Loomis I thought of Halloween right away, but I thought that may have actually been his real name, so I didn't mention it.

...No comment...

Well, when I found that pic, and posted into a thread, it was labeled as ADAM, so I guess that was indeed his name.

Are you talking about the avatar you sent with the pm? Yeah, that didn't work-the avatar didn't load. I'll have to try again later.

I use Starion on some online text games. I used to play Starion Wolf, a werewolf pup. I'm trying to make my own Dungeon Siege world based on Starion wolf.

well my name is Matthew and everyone calls me Matt, so that is were my name came from!

Very easy!

I also use Mattbatb which means my name Matt and my favorite Disney Movie Beauty and the Beast!

I once had an affair with this chick named Josie, and this guy named Andy beat me up for it, and then went off with this transvestite named Candy, right when this dog named Kipper came up and peed on my face.
