“In Soviet Russia, stupid username choose you”

~ user:Communist. on stupid names

On this forum, everybody makes up a vague and pathetic excuse for choosing their stupid username. Also, everybody makes fun of those who have stupid usernames and cant come up with an excuse for having such a stupid username. Also also, we will eat pie and club a tea party organizer to death. Please join. No pets allowed, though. 10:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Kick-off

I copy-pasta'd this section from my talk page

Did you name yourself Mahm00shA? just wondering. --Docile hippopotamus 05:12, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

fine.. Basicly, mahmoosha is a nonsensial name. My real name is Ma7ammad, the Egyptian Arabic variant of Mu7ammad. <the 7 stands for the Arabic letter ح‎> Anyway, my mother used to call me mahmoosha when I was a kid; she is good at making up names for kids.. When I got to registering to uncyc, I asked her Hey mum, what was that stupid name you used to call me back in my childhood days? She replied Which one? Papapatamooza? Fgt'kant? Oozalampa? Oompa loompa? Mahmoosha? Atez-- I interupted her, saying yea, yea, Mahmoosha. Thanks.. Now go make me some french fries. And voila! I got my username. Then I capitalized the M and the A to resemble the MetallicA logo, and changed the os to 0s. And here I am... Your turn now, doc. 05:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I was at home and needed to come up with a username because I was entering Forum:You've always wanted to be able to openly fight for my affection. Now you can. the night it closed, December 11. I was thinking about what I could name myself. I thought of an animal, hippopotamus, but I needed something before that, so I thought Placid hippopotamus and then thought Docile hippopotamus. I liked the name and entered in at User:Multiliteralist/SysRq and the revenge of the mutant zombie androids because I didn't know how to put my entry in my userspace, and the forum had archived by the time I was entering. --Docile hippopotamus 06:01, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I named myself HouseMDfan because I'm a fan of HouseMD and it's the name I use everywhere. (I want to be popular! ;_; ) ~ HouseMDfan 06:06, 3 May 2009

just stay active, and you will be popular. Also, since you are a female and most regulars here are fat male nerds, with a bit of whoring and stuff like that your popularity will skyrocket. Trust me 06:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how I came up with Orian actually, I think it was because it sounded like oh-Ryan. and the 57 just came from this thing that I'd seen that said statistically more people will choose the number 57 if asked to pick a number between 1 and 100. so there boring. more interesting than if I'd just spelt Orion wrongly though. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 11:16 3 May 2009

Alright Tagstit, although hard to believe, has NOTHING to do with tit. Or tags. Or tagging tits. In fact, it is supposed to go Tagst-it. Which also has no meaning. But I just was thinking of names easy to say and rememberable. Also, the reason the first part of my name is green and the second black, is because it makes the initials TT, which are the same initials as a close family member of mine who died. ALSO! Tagstit is a common name I use for other places. Finally! When I was young my friends and I had a clubhouse called Agstitt which contians all the letters of my name. So ya. ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 03:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Well...

I play Runescape. Being serious here. I joined back in February of 2006, and wanted a cool username, so I chose "Saberwolf". Was taken, so out of a list of numbers, I chose "116". For 3 years i've been naming myself Saberwolf116 in all the little online communities I join. Saberwolf116 01:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

That's kinda like my hip-hop name, C-192. I took "C," because it's the first letter of my name, And went through a list of numbers too see what fit best. Okay, I'm out. --LongLiverh3 06:39, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

It was in a Double Champagne Bottle Opening lesson at his boarding school, and as he cracked open the last of the '47s, Guildy smirked and compared the Autocratic writings of the German philosophiser H. Guildenstern to the legionic, Monarchist musings of the Austrian composer Sternenstein. How his friends laughed through their teeth, stained after a lesson of Eating Caviar At Royalist Parties, and err'd from that point, that their witty friend should be known as Guildensternenstein to remind them of that day of how close they were to obtaining a life. ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 18:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
