How did you get your alias?

penda

Some people used to call me panda because I’m mixed race (black white and Asian like a panda) but the name panda is too simple so I changed a letter.

Guinea

Frags

I made a YouTube channel called Guinea with some shit before it, not gonna say what (reached 3k subs before I deleted it :candle:), Guinea because of my Spaghetti and Meatball heritage. As a couple years went by I didnt like having that other part in my name so I changed it to just Guinea, which has since been changed further (just not on this site) to Gvineja (Guinea in serbian, it just looks cool) and zvcgna or just zvc (too long to explain)

Many years back I was playing a game of Civ V with a friend, and before the game started I was trying to think of the dumbest sounding insults I could call him. At one point, I said "YOU'RE A SCRUBASAURUS REX" and afterwards thought "I actually like the sound of that."

Never changed it because I wanted to stick to one alias, otherwise it would probably be different by now.

"Blank" is a team from the anime "No Game No Life" where the plot revolves around them never losing a game, so I thought that would be a cool name for an online alias.... Sadly I cannot say I have upheld that title xD

That's a fat Kappa cause i've been waiting for season 2 for 3 years FeelsBadMan (season 1 came out 2012 but i started watching in 2014)

I'm a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (don't judge me!), and each season of the show Buffy and her friends must defeat a villain that they euphemistically refer to as the "Big Bad". Hence the name.

I'm a self proclaimed weeb, I'm black, and I love Dragons (even got a tattoo of one on my arm). Kuroi Ryuu means black dragon, but since it was taken I just added the two jersey numbers I wore while playing hockey (96 and 25).

I know, I'm a bucket of originality eh?

Mine comes from my favourite progressive album, Involv3r (pronounced Involver 3) by Sasha.
Launch this at night chilling somewhere and you'll feel the power my dudes. Tracks 7 and 8 are it for me. https://youtu.be/YMHQ31waQ04?t=2294

Crazy how music defines a part of so many people here, love it.

#24
Yndi

Frags
+

Music was the influence for most of my aliases. The current one has been around for a while tho: When I was 15 I basically only listened to obscure post-rock bands, one of which was Yndi Halda (meaning Enjoy Eternal Bliss). I shortened it because no-one would be able to say the whole thing and voilà.

Trade Prince Gallywix was the first Hearthstone legendary card I got.

I like how Gally sounds a little girly but in actuality it refers to a fatass goblin.

LordOfHorns

Frags

I am a really big Minnesota Vikings fan, a few years ago their slogan was “show your horns” because of the horn of their helmet. I used this and picked “Lord” because it sounded cool. My name also works both ways because I really got into metal music, so that works too. Either way, pretty badass I think

Kaeru
2
Frags
+

I used to play football "competitively" when I was around 11-12, and since I was a really small and quick kid my teammates used to call me Frog. Before OW I used either Frog, or Frogie, then when OW came out I wanted something new so I just typed frog into Google Translate, switched the language to Japanese, and found out that apparently Frog in Japanese is "Kaeru". I liked it, so I chose it.

#31

I used to be a little criminal rebel in my youth and since im half italian and gioventu means youth in Italian plus it sounds badass, I kinda liked it and have this nick for a long time already.

Sayabi

Frags

After years of nicknames with the same prefix, I wanted a change. I wanted something short, pretty, easy to say and easy to remember. I was thinking of "yui" first but it's a pretty common nickname, so I chose "nei" instead.

I thought it was easy to say but people still pronounce it "nah-ee" instead of "neh-ee" sometimes ;-;

#44

FrozenJackal

Frags

I normally go by FrozenGoggles. That nickname was a combination of two nicknames that I had in high school, Iceman (given to me randomly from a camp) and Goggles (I used to wear sports goggles all the time). I changed Iceman -> Frozen cause it sounded better and squished the two together. FrozenJackal (my bn) came cause Goggles couldn't fit.

bweesh is a completely made up word that was created by me and a high school friend of mine, supposedly it's on urban dictionary but I never associated any meaning with it, just use it as a name

Edit: pronounced bwEEsh, hard E sound - I get a lot of "bwehsh"

Generation1

Frags
+

I use a lot of aliases some have fun stories, some don't.

Generation 1 came from a Mike G verse on a Denzel Curry song. He says "I am genesis 1, this is god's work done". I thought it was cool to call urself Genesis 1 so I started saying Gen1 and then I was like what about generation 1 too. That's actually what I refer to myself as a professional as well.

We used to play a lot of Age of Empires at LAN parties too and we made a rule that every game, you HAD to make a new name and so I have a ton of hilarious ones from that. Same with TF2. The Buttholes, Cock Beard, A Warm Golden Shower, A Cold Golden Shower, Red Rocket Boy, The Male Anatomy, USSR's Grundle, and so many more completely ridiculous and extremely offensive ones.

Good times.
