Our Screen Names?, where do they come from? Options

[Devastator]

I made a similar topic "We Are All Known For Something"

NOT user names, the SCREEN name.

I'll start.

I got my name Devestator from a unit in one of my mods. The Devestator MLRS.

Tell that or that you made up your name out of nowhere.

[Crimsonum]

What's a screen name?

Anyway, Crimsonum...well, it's based on the ancient writings of Qur' Al Barün, where the All-mighty God Cehrim, His brethren semi-gods So and Nu are depicted banishing the evil Ah-ro to the burning depths of underworld Unfortunatelly the number of the forces of Ah-ro grew, leading to a twisted insurrection between the immortals. The outcome of the battle is yet to be seen, as a vital page is missing.

i lawled.... did Ah-ro like to use the phrase:

OH NO HE DIDN'!!

cause that would be lawlzy.

anyways...Ixith comes from one of many names i have made up in the last many years. And was somewhat inspired by the Aeon name of Ixion from FFX but only in the starting it with an Ix sound. But the names came along around my freshman year in highschool and if I ever get around to writing I will eventually write out a larger plot story thing that includes all of the names i've come up with which includes some of my map names. (So names like Ixith, Zalstis, Esvia, Leviasc, Asvetia, Holixe, Istelv and so on and so forth.)
Although it has come to my attention that there is a game out there now that has a planet in it called Ixith, never played it though.

However, while i am known as Ixith here I also commonly use the name Zalstis on various other games and am known by that in many a places. I did half-assingly one time use the name Zalstis here but Ixith had already stuck so well. How I came up with the name Zalstis exactly I don't really know...

Also...the use of 'screen-name' to generally be used to describe someone's online identity probably got popular, at least in the US, through the AOL Internet Service Provider program as it called your Log-in name/email/IM name as your "screen name"
