^ When you guys first started League or any other games / sites, how did you guys get your usernames?

I am confused on why I chose BlueArtist though, since I am not even close to an Artist.

There is a long dark history of my username that I would divulge, but probably at 2 am in the morning when I'm at my lowest point.

I invented the name on my own. First I tried to write a book using this name but the book was just a start of :p

My name originally comes from an episode of the old sitcom Married With Children in which one of the main characters, Bud, decides to masquerade himself as a rapper; dubbing himself GrandmasterB. The B either referring to the first letter of his name or his surname; although I felt the latter made more sense.

I originally adopted my version of the name as a joke as I thought the name itself is ridiculous in a funny way. Eventually it stuck so I felt no need to look for a different name.

I think my name is a bit obvious.

I like the feeling of seeing people being trolled/ trolling people irl. I am not talking about league or online forums.

It's just a sorry pun I came up with at the wrong moment. I usually go under the name of steef435, which is just my first name with some random numbers. Okay I've got nothing to hide, it's what runescape suggested me ages back when I threw "steef" in it and it stuck for some magical reason I guess most of you recognize.

ProTip™: Don't look up your old names, terrible things that should have been forgotten forever can and will present themselves.

Any of my usernames?

I had a lot of usernames on the internet, but these are the ones I remember (sort of):
Gangsta-somethingsomething - World of Warcraft and PKR (dw only with fake money). My first nickname. I was like 10 back then and thought gangsta stuff was cool. Now it is burried down somewhere deep, no one even remembers that name, not even me :o

Ditbenikniet - Trackmania. Means: "This is not me" in Dutch. My humor has always been amazing.

Thelonius - World of Warcraft. Sometimes you have these moments you can't think of a good name. In this scenario, I asked my bro. My bro is like a superjazz nerd and he said: "You should totally name him Thelonius" and I liked it and kept it ever since. The people I know from WoW I have still contact with still call me "Thelo" till this day.

Meiyjhe - League of Legends. Told this story already many times, so here is the summary: I tried to write down "Me" as long as possible without changing its pronounciation.

I had many more, but boy those were long ago. Besides, back then people didn't really call me much by my username, unlike with "Thelonius". People do not even call me HERE by my username, u guys always call me fgt, nub, banana, mehana, meijiji, meihuguhdfgui, Mirajaine or something (screw u sirell) >:(

Me has so many names ;o
Change is gooooood

Miss Maw, my mains at the time of creating a mobafire account. Creative, I know.

Username on league used to also be CeIes, character from FF6 and my current username Mergoat is uhm... well I don't know what. My sign is capricorn and those are like seagoats or mergoats, and I liked the ring to it. At like 4 AM I was in a skype call with a buddy of mine and I was just like hey should I change my name to Mergoat? "lel, yeh". And so I did, no regrets.

You pronounce "Meiyjhe" as "me"?

Wanted to use Vapora as a band name, my ******ed band mates didn't like it so I just ended up using it as my username for online stuff. Vapora was taken for League so I just added Dark to it.

AFAIK Vapora doesn't mean anything, it's just something I came up with when thinking of a band name which I thought sounded cool.

I have no idea where my smurf name hey its talon came from.

FalseGod (without the blithering "o") and it's portuguese version have been used by myself in various forums/rpgs/websites. It cames from MtGs Karona, the False God, a character I loved. The entire Scourge book was pretty baddass and I loved the whole omnipotent-confused-world-life-sucking characteristics, almost like a 12-year-old suddenly getting the power to do nearly everything.

FatChocobo comes from the final fantasy series.
Thank you Tsuki for the sig!
