What's in a Username?

thewisecookiesheet was one of those moments when you sit up in bed and have a brilliant idea. (At the current time, me and my friends were trying to come up with an email that we could use for fake emails and such, but we didn’t want it to be cheesy, make it look like we were only 6th graders… but I kept it and we used something else instead :laughing:)

This moment happened four years ago, and I use it for everything :smiley:

Luke - I thought it had something to do with Luke Skywalker. Personally, I think it’s awesome. Long live the geeks!

thewisecookiesheet - Ha! Great story. :smiley:

– Mitch

Mitch: Haha. Thanks. It’s one of my favorite stories to tell. :smiley:

thewisecookiesheet - You’re welcome! It’s backgrounds/stories for things such as that that I love to read. :smiley:

How did my username come about? LOL, that’s a great little story.

I actually have had quite a few usernames, but for some reason Mygames19 always stuck out to everyone compared to some others I had, like SuperSonicSpeed25 (LAWL).

How the username actually came to fruit is somewhere along these lines:

 I was new to Game Maker, the program I use to make my fan games. Only a short while before the username's creation, my Game Maker teacher suggested that I signed up to the Game Maker Community if I was still interested in Video Game development. 

 At that time I was stuck and had no idea where to go next programming-wise. So, I remembered what my teacher told me and I checked out the forum. It looked nice, and certainly a good place to get help.

 I really didn't think about what my username would be until it asked for one. I wanted a new user name to identify to, and I spent a good 20 minutes pondering a good username. Eventually, I ran out of ideas.

 SO, I asked my sister. She responded "[i]I donno.... how many games have you created anyhow?[/i]". And than, it hit me. It may have been the stupidest idea yet, but it was certainly different. I quickly opened my game folder and counted up all of the games I had started, than returned to the browser and typed "[i]Mygames19[/i]".


 Get it? My Games 19? XD 

If I could get rid of this username I would, but it’s the only user name that’s really stuck to me. So here I am.

Looking at the bright side, at least I didn’t do what most people here have done and just attach an E to the end of my name (Basically stating myself as uncreative, which from my point of view is not what I want people to see from my username.).

"Hey SAM-E, how’s the fangame going?" LOL

My username is short for “mei mei” which is Chinese for little sister.

I don’t have an biological older sisters, but one of my friends has adopted me as her little sister and that’s what she calls me.

It’s pronounced like “mae” or “may”, btw. :wink:

I think mine is pretty obvious, My favorite Pixar character :wink:

Intresting stories you guys.

Mine’s pretty simple.

Star Wars is my favorite movie. Obi-Wan is my favortie character.

Back to the Future is my second favorite movie.

I want to work in the film industry, so I decided to combine my two favortie movies. Plus, it sounds distinguishing.

Well, not much of a story behind my user name. I just like Violet. But I would’ve liked it to be capitalised. It not being so was kind of an accident. Is there any way to fix that?

violet parr - Unfortunately, once you choose a username there is no way to edit it manually. However, one of the higher authorities (such as bawpcwpn) may be able to change it for you. There’s no harm in asking. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Mitch. :smiley: I’ll ask him when I get the chance.

I kinda figured you like Vi violet parr. :wink: Cute and excellent choice.

I see that Thomas helped changed your username Violet Parr. I like it this way now. :wink:

WOW! Thanks,Thomas :smiley: ! That’s much better. :slight_smile: Sorry to bother you.

Obviously, I am a fan of Jessie. Thought I’d incorporate the song “Jesse’s Girl” into my screen name. I was going to do Jessie’s Girl, but it sounded like she had a girlfriend, which obviously she doesn’t. Swear I was going with the song, haha.

“You know I wish that I had Jesse’s girl…” cue song

Bry = Bryan. First name.
Ko = …Last name. (will not reveal for privacy purposes)

614 = June 14th, my birthday.

Geez, you get Toy Story 3 exactly 4 days after your b-day!

That’s cute Jessie’s Fan Girl. Welcome to Pixar Planet as well.

Jessie’s Fan Girl-

Oh, yeah! I love that song!! :slight_smile: Good choice for a user name. And welcome to Pixar Planet :wink: !

Bryko614- Interesting concept. Happy early birthday, BTW <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/grinandwink.gif” alt=“;-D” title="Grin and

yamfox- What’s the story behind your user name :question:

The Star Swordsman- I agree. :slight_smile:
