Reiji Neko Mitsukai 05-26-2003 04:30 PM

Reiji Neko Mitsukai is my usual online name. I was looking up words in Japanese and I thought 'Wouldn't it be cool to have a Japanese online name?' So I thought for a while and decided to have an online name of "Midnight Cat Angel" in Japanese. I punched in the words, and reiji, neko, and mitsukai came out. Thus my online name came to be.

LocoGabbit 05-26-2003 05:10 PM

Well when I first chose my name I thought about munch, he's actually pretty smart, but not crazy, so I thought of what a crazy gabbit would be (wow, that was really wierd) so I didn't want to use crazy so I used Loco

Fez 05-26-2003 05:43 PM

cool, wow these are really original names!

oh, and welcome to the forums Locogabbit.

The Red Muse 05-27-2003 04:16 PM

Erm...
 
...ehm...
I got my name when my friends started calling me Little Muse -- that's because I'm kinda small and I'm obsessed with Muse.
When I signed into the MSN-whatchamacallit- gaming zone, the name Little Muse was taken. As red is my favourite colour, I thought: What the heck-- Red Muse sounds good.

And so was my oh-so-wonderful name born.
Thank you. *bows* Thank you very much.

Fez 05-27-2003 04:19 PM

nice to have you back red muse!

Reese Charles 05-31-2003 05:39 AM

Hi

My real name is Reese Kipling, and my nickname is Kip. But Kip was taken so I just took my first name and my middle name and used that for a name. I don't know why I didn't use Reese Kipling...

Reese...

What the hell? Haven't you left the forums like three times?

Dipstikk 06-01-2003 12:58 PM

I honestly don't know what possessed me to enter my name as Dipstikk.
I remember I saw a bluegreen, half naked sillouette leave my driveway, chuckling to himself. Then I looked and Dipstikk it was.

But seriously, I just think it was the oversugared cerial I ate that morning typing for me.

Abeguy 06-19-2003 08:07 PM

well, i signed in and i thought "man, i bet there are tons of abe names" so i picked Abeguy and also it sounded cool.

Al the Vykker 06-20-2003 03:37 AM

This is what I wrote in the other thread:

My real name is Alexander, but everyone calls me Al. So I came to a choice between my two favorite Oddworld Species, Glukkons and Vykkers, and I figured Vykker in my name would make more sense, and probably flow as a full name better. Thus the Name Al the Vykker was born.

As you can see then I put the picture of my fav Char VP Aslik as my avatar, who is of course a glukkon.

-Al

angry slig 06-20-2003 01:28 PM

I wanted to join the forum but I coudn't think of a name. I just got so annoyed and angry I thought I would put that in my name. I like Abe the most but I chose slig because of one part in AE. The part where the glukkons and sligs are employing mudokons for soulstorm. When the slig said "ha ha, I love this job" I thought that was hilarious so I made it angry slig.

Native Poser 06-21-2003 02:45 AM

Ah yes, I'm so lame. I got my username from a picture I saw of a native mudokon--a "poser" to be exact. I thought he looked cool so...well, I think you can guess :fuzwink:

Oddipus 06-21-2003 11:35 AM

I like the mythical title of the Oddworld games, and how they are spelled in an ODD way.

Oddysee (odyssee)
Exoddus (exodus)

I wanted something like that too. My name comes from Oedipus, a legendary story, you should look it up :D I like Illiodd's name a lot too.

(On other places on the internet my username is usually Nosepicker, or Nosep!cker if it's allready taken, my xbox-live name is VP Aslik because it sounds very BAD-ASS)

Adder 06-22-2003 08:01 PM

Gather 'round and I shall tell the tale...
 
Okay, while looking through a large group of demo disks I came across "VIPER racing"
Then I thought: "Viper, thats a good name!"

I used Viper for a while, then changed it to "VIPer" to asert my importance.
Then came "VIP'ere" as my grammer improved.

Then came Yahoo... nothing worked.
So I tried "Adder" (the english viper) and that too failed.
So, i eventualy got adder_86 (87 was taken!) and on all forums (and brinkster.com) I just use Adder

WildScrab 06-23-2003 07:34 PM

spike 247 06-25-2003 01:47 PM

Well, my hair used to be geled into spikes everyday, and to some extend 24/7. 24/7 looked kinda crappy so I took away the "/" thus making 247. I was thinking of calling myself sonic 247 'cause I'm the fastest in my class/ form whatever you want to call it and some people called me sonic...thus spike 247 was..um...made :P

SligQueen 06-29-2003 02:26 PM

After playin AE I wrote a crappy fanfiction about a slig army fighitin against the glukkons, coz I reckon theyre gonna be next for the chop!! And since there are no female characters in Oddworld (yet...methinx Abe needs a gf!!) I decided to make their leader a female... and call her a queen!! lol!

Sekto Springs 06-29-2003 03:20 PM

:

yet...methinx Abe needs a gf
Abe couldnt get one, he's too much of a klutz, besides the only female mudokon that is known is Sam, Alf said theres others but i think he's just bein' witty.

ratman 06-29-2003 11:05 PM

my real name-not too interesting.
