Two questions. What is the story behind your current OOC name? And besides your current one, what Internet alias would you use for yourself?
Mine is pretty straight-forward. My real name is Tannabelle (who the fucked used my name for a health management company and wtf is my name doing in tumblr) and people affectionately called me Tan-Tan IRL (because my name is too damn long). So I used Tan-Tan until it became Tanz in the cbox a couple of years ago back when I was 13 and I've been Tanz since. The AMB and all the other trinkets in my name are just for the sills. AMB is short for ambassador, which started as a joke in Systematic Breakdown where I served as an ad mod. Because people were calling me a house elf and I wanted something more respectable.
I don't know what name I would pick to myself if not this one. I'm not really that uncomfortable sharing my basic personal details because lol I'm in the Philippines who's gonna take interest in me. I guess I would be boring and name myself after Masquerain because I love that Pokemon and the name never gets old.

Mine came from my sister, who helped me come up with a webkinz username so many years back when it came out, and then it became part of my email, and then it made it's way to my default username and people call me Orange. All thanks to a game for midgets.

I've gone by several names (Honeybee, Comatose, Capella) but I've settled on Meg/Meggers because it's a shortened version of my actual name. Which is Maegan. Yes, I should probably be Maeg, but people rarely remember the extra a so I just made everyone's life easier.

Honestly, I very often use my real name (Rachel) for rp, and given that Katya is a real name, a lot of people just assume I'm actually called Katya irl too. Can't blame them, really.
Before I started rping at PB, I either used my real names if it that seemed like the trend at the site, or I just picked something off the top of my head. I'm used to cycling names since I had a million characters in WoW (40, actually, I hit the character max), and obviously I got addressed by my character's name, so I was used to answering to whatever name I was wearing at the moment. Some other names I've used with a bit of frequency: Tam, Stell(a), Rory, Ro(ar), Dagger, Rakshasa, Aaron.
Basically, Shadowcat had just "died" in Astonishing X-men when I was trying to pick a name at my first proboards site ever, and I was a huge Colossus/Shadowcat shipper, and he calls her Katya, so I just went with Katya. I've also gone by Hook, Kitsune, Shadowcat and Raja on proboards when I feel like a change, but I usually end up feeling like I'm masquerading with a fake name. I guess Katya's really stuck!

i was redoxstate once, but that got abbreviated. idk i like science. my irl best friend turned me into a kind of a dork for anything nerdy, so i kind of went with the trend. when in doubt, turn to bio/chem. some might know me as 'veritas', though. i blame tsundere for that. i felt like matching her on this one site that i never ended up joining lol
errrmmm i guess if i wanted another transformation, i could go with "antipov". there's no love lost for dr. zhivago, but egads PASHA IS MY SWEET BABY NO NO SHUT UP ALL OF YOU HE IS A BABU LEAVE ME ALONE. although at some point, i might just end up naming a rp char of mine "antipov" or "pavel" lmao

Because I like monochrome. Really, that's it. Black and white just strikes out to me. Yep, that's my really, really long background alright.
And uh... Never really thought about it. I have a huge problem coming up with names, especially ones that I like, so xD [/size]

Because Melon Bread is my favorite thing in the whole wide world ever. That, and I had a character named Melon once and I thought it was adorable, so.
As for what other name I would use, would probably be Shenanigans, mostly because my real life name is "Shanna" And my teacher called me Shenanigans once, and now everyone does. XD

skullbeat because i like skulls. and i like music. so skulls + music beats = skullbeat. but everyone thinks it's from skullcandy :c
I WAS FIRST KAY? I WAS THE ORIGINAL :C
although for the longest time, I used the name elfhorse .... i was like. 9/10...... >> because I loved elves [LOTR] and horses... and then I was like, dragonfly/dragonflai, pierotte, for a very short while each.
and now I'm Qn because Qn = Kyun = korean name. EXCEPT NOT MY KOREAN NAME LUL. actually it has nothing to do with my actual name. I never really use my actual name on the internet k, lied. jk lols, sometimes I'm Jia. Jia is my name. LOL. it's from Jialin = Jacqueline ..
names just aren't good once you push them to another language.

Post by kirbop on Mar 4, 2013 9:36:30 GMT -8
i've mostly just gone by kirbop 'cause it was the first sn i had and i never found the need to change it lol. basically i was nine and adored kirby but didn't want to totally name myself after him, so i took off the -y and arbitrarily added an -op to make kirbop.
i'm not too sure what other alias i'd use? i'm fine with my current one since i still adore kirby and repping him everywhere i go sounds pretty good to me lol. if i had to choose though, i guess i'd rep another series or char that needs more love? like ghost trick or an underrated tales character or something.
