How did you get your screenname?

I was a mythology nut back in my early days of the internet (okay, okay, I still am), so I took the name Troy and added an "a" at the end to make it more feminine. Troya was already in use on IRC, so for some reason I decided to be a cool kid and added "tz" to the end instead of coming up with some new nickname. So now, I am Troy + a + tz just about everywhere, except on the websites I've registered on before ~2005-2006, where I'm still Troya.

Riveting, I know.

Because of people and their silly end of days prophecy. At one time I had a screen name called Apocalypse2000 because of the Y2K nonsense. Now I have one for the Mayan end of days.

It was a random name I recall. I thought about an exotic language, "Spanish", and the first word that comes to my mind.
I am still baffled why I chose Pistolero.

I got the name Twitch as a nickname in school due to my nervouness of public speaking, which led me to get a bit twitchy.

The S Simons bit comes from the that I am in love with Simone Simons for her beautiful looks and I love her voice as well. In interviews she also comes across as very fun, friendly and intelligent :wub:

I thought it was because you knew how to use photoshop.

Was originally something with 'matt' in (my name) before when I joined in 2009. I left and returned earlier this year because of Skyrim and decided to name myself after this potentially awesome game, adding a Roman zing to it too.

Skyrimius didn't sound that great to me so I settled with Skyrimus. And forever I'll be known that

My old account from 2006 had a long Morrowindish name so when this new password reset happened I could not remember my long forgotten unattainable Old ISP mailbox. I made this new account and am happy with the name I have now. Surely everyone here knows what SetEssential means and has used that console code in a Bethesda game at one time or another. :wavey:

There I was, leading this perfectly Zen existence, in the Nirvana of unknowing. Then in 1966, I was born.

Just had it really I played as Predator cause I wanted something that sounded "Cool." Played CS:S around version 1.0 to 1.2 I believe not really sure then played TFC for some time. Moved to PredatorX cause I wanted that "extreme" feel which now seems cheesy but whatever. At the moment i'm considering going with Armory, but i'll definitely keep my PredatorX theme.

On other forums I go by Amana or Amani if possible to honor a wolf I sponsored through a donation program. I do it in memory of a friend of my mom's that I considered a relative even though we weren't related by blood. Sadly she passed away from cancer that progressed from her briasts to her spine.

My idea of menancing when I was 12 (iirc) <_< It's not too bad, I guess, mostly because I've grown fond of the typo in my username and feel it makes it more unique :P

Mine was just an old joke comment my buddies and I used back in highschool. Came to the forums looking for help with Oblivion and figured I wasn't going to hang around long afterward so I just used it as a name to be silly. Flash forward to now and clearly the forums have kept me here all these years...then the mods kidnapped me. *hysterically laughs*

When I was playing a browser game I can't even remember the name of, I decided to mix my name (Ben) and Empire = Benpire. Although a lot of people seem to think it's a mix of Ben and vampire.

I stole it from someone on the Dark Basic forums many, many, many years ago.

I saw you on the Werewolf wiki and was about to rag you for being a Twilight fan, but I remembered about the popular forum game....

Mine meant to be Skyrim Sniper, but my "Y" key wasn't working so it turned out Skrim Sniper, but I like it now so I don't want it spelt correctly :P

Got given KP when I started playing baseball due to my surname. Added the nuts afterward as it kept getting mixed up with a cricket player. Now most people call me either KP or nuts.

my new one is way better then the one I used back in 7th grade. RedxFalcon was the one I used until this one. It sounds too childish... I got the new one because I was and still am totally addicted to Oblivion. My gamertag on Xbox live was Septum007 because Septim007 was taken. So I thought I would take advantage of the name not being taken on here.

Hi! I'm Viv! Guess my hair colour! :teehee:
Before that I was mostly TheToasty or ToastyLass, although this nick has vanished more with the time between the glorious days of spending time and kicking butt at the only local arcade machine, with Mortal Kombat and guess-which-character, which had earned me that name.
