(Still not an Harry Potter reference ... )

Guys, this is for username origins, not your dating profiles

 

[Ghundra]

Ghundra, about a half hour of fiddling with the RNG on World of Warcraft trying to find a name for an Orc Warrior.

 

[Will_em]

Will_em because my name is Willem (dutch one for William) but there is a small pun in it.
Wil hem in dutch means 'Want him' which can be loosely written as Will em and voila, a new alter ego was born.
Dating site name is Will_em69 (get the pun?).

I didn't know you were 44 years old and 6 feet tall.

 

[Arkengard]

I chose Arkengard, because the first build I did on Minecraft was making a dwarven deal and I called it Arkengard

 

[Dargona1018]

I chose Arkengard, because the first build I did on Minecraft was making a dwarven deal and I called it Arkengard

So, how did you choose it AFTER you made an account?

 

[DynoDaring]

Because his original account that his brother now uses is averydylan

 

[pourtugueseguy]

i got minecraft 3 months after its initial release in 2009 i was 9 back then that's why it's spelt incorrectly

Extra Trivia: I later learned that Dargona can be scrambled into "a Dragon". You gotta love subconscious thoughts.

Not quite. You'll have another 'A' in there. But still, really cool.

My name comes from 'Kevin' (which, by the way, is not my real name) with the 'n' and the 'k' flipped around (you see, I like writing, the first thing I wrote had a character in it, and I like the name 'Kevin' so I scrambled a few letters and poof nevik is born) and 45 is one of my favorite numbers (possibly because it's a multiple of 5--I love multiples of 5, they're so reliable. Urg, that makes me sound like I have the Atlantis Complex from Artemis Fowl--good thing I also like the number 4!)

 

[Dargona1018]

Not quite. You'll have another 'A' in there. But still, really cool.

That is why it is "A Dragon" not just "Dragon"

 

[nevik45]

oh that's even cooler
Subconscious thoughts are cool

 

[Fireinferno13]

oh that's even cooler
Subconscious thoughts are cool

One could argue that all thoughts are subconscious thoughts but thats a larger discussion of freewill

Anyways.

Fire is a cool element, inferno is intense = Fireinferno + my lucky number = Fireinferno13

 

[nevik45]

Fire is a cool element, inferno is intense = Fireinferno + my lucky number = Fireinferno13

That's amazing! My lucky number is 13 too!

 

[Fireinferno13]

That's amazing! My lucky number is 13 too!

pfffffttttttttttttt impossible, what reason do you have behind such a decision?

 

[Ardelenia]

that fortune cookie the sketchy chinese lady behind the 7-11 gave me (@fire)

 

[nevik45]

pfffffttttttttttttt impossible, what reason do you have behind such a decision?

The reasoning is because it's most people's unlucky number. Also, since it's also my lucky number, the number probably is now unlucky...
