Social Where is your nick from?

I used to go on gamefaqs to talk about pokemon under some name like slothmaster2000

someone was doing pixel art of pokemon mash ups, and I asked for one of empoleon + bidoof

it looked sick and I made it my username and now I go by that everywhere. If you're that person, thanks that was dope and I wish I still had it
 
When I got my 3ds a couple years back, instead of putting my real name, I put in random shite and out came ThyMeme.
 
i picked my avatar first, which happened to be the female tennis player. i planned on going for just "iplaytennis" but it sounded incomplete so i added an lol to make it "iplaytennislol". i changed to Advantage i guess not too long ago bc it felt silly to have lol in my name. also i get to be at the top of most userlists now :p

pilobacon was supposed to be some complex double pun between pile of bacon and piloswine since pilo is a pig mon but its novelty eventually wore out so i switched to pilo
 
Back when I played Tibia (eons ago), the game had a name generator, and back then I didn't know you could just use any name you wanted for you character. My second character was called Kizux Theo, and I've used it as an alias later on, mostly because I don't have to add like numbers or stuff because someone else is already using it.
 
Old one Is from Metroid Prime 3, and it's the first boss you fight in that game.

The current one? IDK, i'm an edgy girl or something who likes demons? I just liked the sound of it, and wanted to move past from my old name here.

my original username shadowbone66 was me being a budding edgelord brat on the hip new youtube pokemon spriting scene. good times.

i changed it over time to UllarWarlord, which was inspired by this rly cool strategy game, Heroscape; Ullar was one of the Valkyrie Generals in said game. I shortened it to Ullar a while back bc the Warlord part felt rly extraneous
 
It's the same name I use on some other sites, so I just carried it over here. It's just a combination of my actual first name (Daniel) with the "Super Nerd" Trainer Class from the Pokemon games, partly because I think it's fairly descriptive of me as a person, and partly because the "Super Nerd" part is obvs a Trainer Class and therefore a Pokemon reference, and Pokemon's been kind of my main thing for plenty of years.
 
i watched eden of the east, loved it; the name was taken on PS; Ended up going for Eden's Embrace, thought it had a nice ring to it. Settled with this on on smogon as well!

Lionyx is the French name of the final boss in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 and I wanted something that was both original and not already taken everywhere. Its English name is Leonyx.
I mainly chose it because it wasn't a username made out of regular words.

I originally wanted HoennKid, but misspelled it and didn't notice for a while lol, I just decided to stick with it because i liked the color (and HoennKid was taken).

Later on I changed to HoeenHero for a better color and to not seem like a kid.
 
I had wanted a new username for a while but I wanted it to hold some meaning and have a nice colour so I looked up a few different things and came across Azuline which means a striking blue. The problem was the name was green and it didnt fit the meaning. But I still liked the blue idea and toyed around with the ending of it until I came across one with a nice colour. I was originally gonna switch to Azuli which was more purple but it got regged after I had tested it so I settled for this.

My old name Kazuya Miyuki is this character from the animanga Ace of Diamond. Hes one of my favourites and I liked the potential nicknames from it.
