[P]The Root of Your (User)Name

[classy_cat18]

pokefan64 = pokemon + Nintendo 64.

classy_cat18: When I was thinking up a unused Pokemon to use for my username, I noticed that there was a lack of Persian, the Classy Cat Pokemon. And I was eighteen when I first used this so...

[Kris]

My name's Chris, and uh, that's just about it...

You know I had the exact same idea!

[The_Missing_Link]

Wartortle13: I was 13 when I signed up and my favorite Pokemon at the time was Wartortle

Charizard_Wartortle: Two favorite Pokemon. This one didn't last long

The_Missing_Link: This is embarrassing but I forgot how I came upon this name but distinctly remember trying to get Link into it because I was (and still am) a fan of Ocarina of Time. The name didn't even have anything to do with OoT but I thought it sounded cool so I kept it


I pretty much forgot all my other s/n's but I think Zak remembers

[The Muffin Man]

Originally - PMM2 or PokemasterMike2. Pokemaster Mike was taken. And so was Pokemaster Mike2. Actually that second one was me. I just lost my password and should have about 1500 posts more.
Then - PMM2 - Abbreviated.
Then - Pee Emm Emm Too - Written out abbreviation.
Finally - The Muffin Man. No clue. Just so the sig "The question is...do YOU know ME?" would fit. And it stuck...

[Dark Dragonite]

I just like Dragonite, and I like dark topics...

[homeofmew]

homeofmew: home of mew. I had a site called The Home of Mew and so I made all my user names everywhere homeofmew.

fumidasukoto: means "to start out" in Japanese

[Tainted]

Three guesses

Although I might as well talk about my old name. SpinaZak238. For a while I tried thinking of a Pokemon that would sound good with my name in it. Then "Spinazak" had a ring to it, unlike "Zakdos", "Marozak", and other stuff I had. The 238 was just somewhat random. When I was 11 I registered the AIM name "yoyo238" which I still use now, and the 238 was just random cause it was 'cool' to use random numbers in usernames. By the time I'd picked it, though, I didn't like the trend too much anymore, but I then just did it to match my AIM name.

~Zak

Heh-- I had to post because when I was like 10 and in grade five, me and my friend had our own little "gym" with pokemon cards, and I was "Zakdos" and he was "Iansaur." Yeah-- we were pretty badass. That was before gold and silver, though.
Skullfire? Well, I was in grade four, and my e-mail was "Skullfire11@hotmail.com," and I still use the e-mail because I'm too lazy to get a new one. Um, I picked it because it was badass to have "skulls" or "fire" in your e-mail address-- and eleven's my lucky number. So, when I signed up a long time ago I picked the username Skullfire.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[Ultimate Charizard]

WARNING.... THREAD REVIVAL!!!

Mine, Just liked Charizard but wanted something sounding a little Cooler. Back then i tried a few variations before Settling on Ultimate.

Dont really use it much now other than being my actual tpm name. My Close net friends call me Gav, when we first started chatting it was UC and only the Newbs afraid of modishness power or just plain suck ups call me the Full name.

[Boy of Enders]

My name is quite originally from a videogame, its obvious i'm the only one who could steal a name from such a thing.

Anyway, i have an obsession with the Zone of the Enders games and in the first game the main characters "friends" are tied up by some evil doer who calls him "boy of enders" so tada! New name!

[Starmew15]

Wow, talk about deja vu... My name came from when I was 15 years old, and first came to TPM. I liked Starmie and Mew, put them together with my age and voila! Starmew15.

[freshmex]

My original name was edge101 since back then edge was the tighest wrestler ever, totally reeking of awesomeness. Edge was already taken so i added 101 because i thought it sounded cool.

Freshmex is now my name because i think one day on irc nick was like "the freshmex slogan from chevys is cool edge" so i think freshmex has been my nickname for about 2.5 years now and i use it for everything. Thanks nick.

[Anju]

Anju- a girl from Zelda: Majora's mask. She was one of my favorite characters.

[Crystal Mew]

Crystal Mew- I dunno, I liked mew, and..I jsut put random names on a paper, and I liked Crystal Mew the best... because it sounds good together, and yeah. o_o;

[Toxicity]

Well, I'll go through with my SNs since I started...

Gothic Latias - Back when I started, it was about a month until Ruby/Sapphire was released, and it turned out my favorite Pokemon then was Latias. I only used the Gothic part because when I started, I was also a semi-expert on barbaric groups around the Late Roman/Early Medieval period, and the Goths happened to be one of my particular favorites.

Kikyo - I was tired of being laughed at for my username because of the silly stereotype used by anarchists, so I turned to Anime for an answer. I wanted a character that reminded me of myself a slight bit, and Kikyo came to mind, because I seem emotionless on the outside with emotion buried deep inside, and the fact I am descendant of an archer(if ya heard of Robin Hood, you've heard of Little John. John happened to be probably the most famous of my ancestors).
