What is the origin of your nickname?

[Entro]

To be completely honest, I'm not a "huge" fan of Animal Crossing either, I just like Tom Nook and I found this pic in my saved media when I was choosing a profile picture. I don't remember the original artist (Just know that it's not me, I can barely draw semi-straight lines). All I remember is that it's cropped from a comic portraying the animation by Nintendo advertising Isabell in SSBU, I believe. (EDIT before post: Comic artist was dbMisadventure)

[Legendary Spyro]

Speaking of SSBU, I plan on getting a Nintendo Switch next Christmas with SSBU and
Miitopia included with it.

[Nathbusia]

For Nathbusia: It all started with Roblox in 2008.

For FlameOut56: the same name as my PSN account in 2011 to replace my (and my brothers') 1st lost PSN account.

No offense but personally I think Roblox is overrated. It's just another
online multiplayer Lego knockoff. But if you like it that's fine.

Also be careful on Roblox I heard they have had a lot of user security
issues lately.

Also what model of Playstation do you currently have? I have a PS2
so I can play older, retro Playstation titles like Kingdom Hearts II.

First off, I don't really play Roblox anymore. It's just not the same for me.

Second, currently I have PS2, PS3, and PS4. Originally, we did have a PS1, but that got lost... And for PSP. That was broken too...
So yeah. I only use PS3 just to listen to music or to play LittleBigPlanet.

Kind of sad you don't have a PS1 anymore. You could use it to play the original
Spyro games or Crash Bandicoot, or the original Resident Evil.

Also another thing I think it's really cool you're from England. I really like
British people. You have a very interesting culture rich with history dating
back several hundred years.

Yeah. We sure do. But the main thing is I was actually in Netherlands/Holland, but raised completely in the UK.
It's a bit of a story, but yeah. I do agree. British Culture is interesting. Plus, their accent is funny too.

I actually really like British accents. Some people make fun of them
but personally I really like them.

Also I've seen pictures of Holland. It's really pretty,
especially with all those windmills and stuff.

[GattlingGirl]

Story behind "Gattling Girl"

I was running a tabletop RPG with some friends and they somehow gave one of my random NPCs a gatling gun and recruited her (Can't remember how this even happened).

I didn't have a name for her since I had no way of knowing that was about to happen so we just referred to her as Gatling Girl as a play on Gatling Gun. She quickly became a really liked character because of how funny we found this random character with no prior training just gunning down enemies with a pretty heavy gun.

A pretty long time after the game was over, I used it as a username when I played Valorant with those same friends as a little call back to it and used the Odin (For those who don't know, the biggest gun in the game)

Eventually I just started to use it as my screen name on most things.

Why is "Gatling" spelt as "Gattling"?: When I changed my Valorant name, I made a typo and Spelt "Gatling" as "Gattling" I planned on changing it as soon as I noticed it but I needed to wait 30 days to change the Valorant name again. After a little while I kinda started to like it being two Ts so I just go with it now.

Well there's the story of the name!

[pomba gira]

It's a female entity from Umbanda and the fem version of Exú i think, what if my mother caughts me using this nickname...

[Crazed Java]

Bit of an in-joke for those that know me. I used to program in Java and I'm a big fan of black coffee.

[Neigdoig]

The pseudonym I go by was made in 2015 (over 7 years ago now), and I still go by that on the internet today.

[Yaseo]

Made it up just by mixing the japanese alphabet... dunno if it means anything, hope it doesn't mean anything bad

[pomba gira]

Other than being Exú's female version, the reason why this name (pomba gira) it's because when i was 13 i was reading the Overwatch article from the Brazilian Uncyclopedia, as they were referring the red dragon from Hanzo as said entity (pomba gira), my mother caught me saying her name, yelling "what???", and i was in despair then my father said "where did you learned that from, on the internet???", till i searched who pomba gira was and it was a female entity from Umbanda/Kimbanda/Candomblé (educately known as Macumba by religious nutjobs like my parents) that's Exú's female self (i didn't knew who she was, i was innocent back then).

| the entity from where my nick came from.

[Nina ♥]

Picked up my nick from a Pokemon I had back in my og copy of Pokemon B/W

Had a shiny female Zorua, the M/F ratio is 87.5% male, 12.5% female, and I named it Nina.

Years later, I ended up taking the name for myself since I thought it was nice, and still do. :}

[evelin]

since my favorite Mythology creature is a phoenix i was searching for a decent name related to it and reeny pops out as it means Rebirth; Born Again. and took it that name right away.

[xWagnerPlaguesx]

My name combined with one of my favorite bands Winds of Plague

[Mighty Stymie]

My previous nickname (Mighty Stymie) means powerful obstacle or something that prevents you from doing something. That is to say, I tend to get too stuck or have many obstacles when wanting to do things and end up not doing them. Sometimes I get very frustrated especially when I see people doing things very easily that I can't.
I recently decided to change my nick to "TediousAgadided", it's not an original nick, it was just a copypaste, lol. Honestly I changed it since in 2021, I published three very bad characters in times of depression (and because of that) gave a bad image of me, so I wanted to restart everything.

[Kenra]

When I was 14, I used the pseudonym Arken that I invented because I thought it sounded dark
Then when I decided at one point to change my nickname once again (I already had plenty of them before Arken) so I decided to change some letters of my nickname, and that's how it was
