Not your real name but the name you use here on Headfi. Mine came from about 3 years ago when I got Starcraft for my birthday. It just popped into my head when I needed an online name to use. Ever since then I have always used this name.

How did your name come about?

 

[PinkFloyd]

Came from the Rock band Pink Floyd

 

[Thaddy]

My teammates on my XC/Track team have been calling my Thaddy from the summer before my freshman year. I don't think some people at school know my real name, since I usually get introduced as Thaddy

 

[The Actual]

And here is an emoticon just because I have no idea which one to use in this situation:

Anyway, the origin of The Actual is a secret, which really just means that it is unspectacular. Although I will say that I made it up before hearing about the book or band.

 

[Wmcmanus]

Mine came from one of the previous 'Where did your moniker come from?" threads, wherein someone had the idea of using their first initial and last name.

 

[hentai]

Well everyone know what's hentai is

 

[purk]

Apparently I took the opposite approach...

[philodox]

There have been a few threads about this already I think... but it comes from a roleplaying game, Werewolf: The Apocalypse. 'Philodox' is one of the werewolf auspice's that are associated with which moon you are born under... I believe the philodox auspice is tied to the crecent moon. In general, philodox werewolves are supposed to be wise and philosophical. Something like a werewolf horiscope sign I suppose... anyways it is much better than the names that I used online when I was younger in my BBS days. [magister & cyric]

I've since discovered that philodox is also a very real word meaning 'lover of one's own opinion'.

Oh well, it's not like I can change it now.

 

[PSmith08]

I used my first initial, last name, and class year at school. I have to use all three a surprising amount, so I figured, "Why get fancy?"

 

[ajt976]

Simple, mine came from my university SSO and e-mail address. I figured it would be easily remembered by friends, and I could also avoid wasting time sitting down and trying to think of something a bit more meaningful when I could be listening to music and reading about audio gear!

 

[1911]

1911
the finest pistol ever designed. .45acp 1911
there it is..

 

[Oski]

Speaking of university, mine is the name of the mascot at U.C. Berkeley where I went to college.

 

[EyeAmEye]

I have always hated when people would ask "What are you?". So, I figured everytime someone asked me I would say "I am I". It annoyed quite a few people, and slowly became a nickname of sorts. I decided to change it a bit for an onscreen name (IMO, it looks better), with a little spin from some wild theories of mine, so EyeAmEye it became.
