I've been here for a couple months now, and have seen a lot of different, and unique, usernames.

My question is, where did you get your name from, and why did you pick it?

I guess I'll go first; "Gladiator 2" is your callsign on Marine R.C.T. Comms in the video game Close Combat: First To Fight. I picked that 'cause I love that game.

Back when I was on stickslaughter I was joebob. Then when I went to neopets it became joebob116 because joebob was taken. Then when I went to stickpage I thought I'd be all clever and come up with a name from a book that I'd read. The Inferno was the book I picked cause it was awesome. Then I added an i onto the beginning because it seemed like the thing to do. Been that ever since.

Back in 2003, when I was ten, I started dabbling with HTML and always wanted to make a free online flash gaming site, like miniclip.com or neodelight.com (before neodelight was sold and raped). I kept calling everything I did by JRG Productions. (JRG are my initials) My good friend Mike, the father of my brother set me up a basic webhosting account on one of his servers. I couldn't think of anything for the domain, so I chose http://ww.jrgp.org .

And ever since, every username I have has jrgp in it in some way or another.

I was wearing a psycho cowboys shirt when I had to choose a nickname for the first time in a game.
I was 10 or something.

A friend fell into the pool with a whole crapload of barbecue sauce.

LtKillroy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2009, 05:54:58 pm »

Kilroy is an old what you might call meme from the 40s (WWII) where you spraypaint a face looking over a wall and have "Kilroy was here" under it. I changed it to Killroy to have uniqueness and added the lieutenant for more uniqueness (it tended to be taken)

Smegma · « **Reply #13 on:** February 17, 2009, 06:13:29 pm »

Its the name of a band

jerich · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2009, 06:18:07 pm »

My mom and dad got it on and 9 months later, called me Jerich. I was too lazy to think of names so I just used it. But it looked kinda dull in games so I made all my usernames with all caps, hence, JERICH.

Well thanks for clearing that one up.
If you were asking me I'd guess you registered that username when drunk off your ass.

I felt bored one day so I read the the dictionary again. And then I remembered that I needed a new name because my old one was actually just me doing a face -> keyboard -> roll.

Heh, you know, if you add an "o" to your name, making it Jericho, you could say you were named after a gun (Jericho 941)

I don't know why I thought of that.

Why "Espadon?" Isn't that a fish?

Espadon · « **Reply #19 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:07:32 pm »

Espadon in French is swordfish, in Spanish is broadsword; both have basis in Latin spathe, a sword, not fish.
