I feel my name is very original... especially since I was 12 when I came up with it.

Rev.6-8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Kind of unrelated, but if I could have a custom title (not coup) or change my username, I was thinking about 'BubblyDeath'. Such a funny word, considering my brother and I came up with it on the spot.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

Sooo. Unoriginal meaning...???

I've been here for a while. So I got to pick my name. A good one. That makes it unoriginal?

  • 09.17.2012 4:38 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Giant Johnson Anthrax Eater was taken, so I had to settle.

Checking out my profile I see?

I feel like you answered your own question in the OP.

As for my name at the time of creation I could not for the life of me think of a good name to use so one of my friends at the time told me to use this. I've thought of a million better ones ever since that day.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Because I was 13 and stupid.

Anyways, I'm not seeing what you're seeing, OP.

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
- J. Robert Oppenheimer

Because a lot of us were dumb when we were younger. That's why I ended up making a new account later. I hated my old name.

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

The number craze hadn't harbored any hate yet.

Because 10 year olds have poor imagination.

I thank coup for having a username change option.

  • 09.17.2012 5:27 PM PDT

Mine would be at the top of lame names. I have no idea what I was thinking.

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

Coup sucks.

A lot of names were taken back in the day, just like today people would make accounts just to take original names. With the account deletion period wiped it's probably only going to get worse (not that it really mattered anyway)

Couple of things Lobby.

1- What was your original account's name?
2- ...You didn't like your Halo 3 stats.


Also, the origin of my username in a nutshell is:

Get Live, don't know a good name.

Ask friend and his brothers.

"Unanimate Object" they said. "It'll be funny" they said.

Live only allows 15 characters, I don't like two words bunched into one.

???

Profit.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

Since I have a pretty number intensive name I guess that this applies to me, even if I haven't hit 4 years yet.

What's really weird is that once new people join for Destiny many of them won't get what my name comes from...

I think its because we all registered before sticking a random number of x and X before and after your name was cool. And switching out letters for numbers.

I'm definetly not an "Old" member, but my username was my first choice. However, if I told you what the 4's mean, I would have to kill you.
What do they mean, De?

If I told you, I'd have to kick in your jaro. And if anything, call me DE4TH, as in Death Incarnate, the base meaning of my username. The 4's however, remain a secret.
