Forums - General Discussion - What's the story behind your username?

College assigned email address. I decided it was time to outgrow my old username usually handle, Dr Obvious. The name makes total sense so it's what I generally use, but whenever I tell anybody it, they always think it's twestern. Every time I have to actually tell someone my email address, they just assume I'm wrong and just assume I mean twestern and I always have to correct people.

I would change again but it's a massive hassle to change email address and remember different usernames for different places.

It's from a character in The Mighty Boosh, which is a British comedy show for those who don't know. The main characters in the show get stranded on a desert island, go crazy and make companions out of coconuts in the same way that Tom Hanks creates Wilson in Castaway.

I can't remember why I thought it would be a good internet alias, but it's just stuck ever since. The only trouble is, there's dozens of people who use the same name as well.

Another Digital Devil I like to summon

 



Made it back in 2003 back when I was a member of the Gamepro boards, when Metallica and Gamecube were essentially my two favorite things in life..



My name is 520, but 520 was already taken, so I had to add Jay to it.

Well I guess the megadrive is pretty obvious, the 08 is the year I started my YouTube account



 

My first name was God0928 (Creator and my birthday).
Then it was Godfade (God and evolution).
Then Ghaudefade (Ghaude is an evolution in spelling of God).
Then GhaudePhaede (Phaede is an evolution in spelling of Fade.
Now GhaudePhaede010 (010 = No exist, Exist, No exist).

Ghaude = God
Phaede = Fade
010 = Evolution Code of Life.

GhaudePhaede010 = My religious/philosophical beliefs and thee evolution of the name fits perfectly into my religious views. Also, 010 is binary for the number 2 and my brother and I are the two people that invented the religion/philosophy

Also, my oldest daughter is named Kosiah Phaede and my youngest is named Iysahn Ghaude. But I already had the name GhaudePhaede010 before any of my children were born.

Basically, the nickname that my friends call me with.
The number "3" is to replace a letter that can't be pronounced in English.



When I was 12 me and a friend started a new co-op game can't remember what it was called but it was on the PS2 some kind of powered up RPG style game but looked a bit like resident evil anyway I digress

We were thinking of call names and I picked Exile and have had it ever since



I'm a 32 year old gamer and my first video game system was the nes when I was seven,in 87.
