Why did you choose the username you chose?

i know ill get some sarcastic comments or similar, but please do give some reason as to why you chose what you chose as a username.

Me, ive told the full story enough times here, usually to be ignored.

so im gonna give a shortened version as to why i chose my username,

For me:

Long story short, i got into some trouble with the law. ended up serving time in Juvy.

shortly after my time in Juvy i had found this site and made an account with the name of my old email account. about a month later i grew tired of my username, as it didnt really mean much to me.

so then decided to make a new account. the one i use now,

seeing as how i had technically been a convict(since i was a minor my record got sealed) i decided to make something more personal. went with konvikt(switched the c's with k's) then added my age at the time(_17).

thus konvikt_17 ws created.

For those curious, i am willing to tell my whole story. you need only ask.

-

So whats the story behind your username?

Edit: spelled "username" wrong once.

Edit 2 3 and 4: some mispelled words edited

woah, deja vu; i swear you've made this exact thread before

anyway, i got my name from a line in cygnus x-1: "on my ship the rocinante, wheeling through the galaxies...". rocinante is originally from don quixote, which i started but never finished--but i first heard the name from that song

It's really generic. "Shadow" because I must have thought it was cool or something and "4020" is the address of my childhood home.

I wanted some way to show I played a variety of different games, but somehow I managed to come up with this dumbass name when I still thought replacing "e" with "3" was somehow cool. I hate it so much now I would pay money to change it.

Named after an album I liked by Eazy-E called '187 um Killa' (lots of Dre, Snoop, Death row disses) but spelt it with an H as I also liked Ghostface Killah and Killah Priest, silly thing is now I rarely listen to rap but I just don't care enough to create a new account.

I wanted a username that (i thought) would be generic on a gaming forum.Since CoD was very popular back then,I chose it.

About a month later,MW2 was released.Everyone started hating CoD,and I didn't like it either.

Because my philosophy is, every thing, be it good or bad, will come to it's inevitable end some day, may it be nations like the egyptian pharao era, the roman imperium or our modern day and world we live in, 10.000 years from now on and the life of planet earth will be pretty different again, if we're still inhabiting the planet by then.

Anyways, in short, we're just for visit on this planet and should use our time to the best we can. I'm still wasting more than enough of it with videogames :P

And, JFV kinda makes an awesome licence plate tag in some racing games, especially THEN the name kinda shines out a bit x)

I really liked Warhammer at the time, and Chaplains in that game are badass. And I messed up an old games name (MDK - Murder, Death, Kill). Kinda boring and teenage-angsty, but I like how most people call me Chap, makes me feel like I'm British or something.

Was heavily into fantasy wrestling and my main character was The Apostle so I've been using variations of that name ever since. I used to have a different name but managed to get GameSpot to change it to my current one.

Mine is the name of two of my favorite band's (Our Lady Peace) songs put together, which was done in a live performance (called Naveed/Life).  No I am not persian or anything like that, contrary to Naveed being in my name :P.
