[Aemon Stark]

I like the Starks and the Targs and, in the spirit of R+L=J, thought it best to combine them. And I like Maester Aemon a lot.

Of course, neither of my avatars have anything to do with the name, but then I like Miyazaki too.

[Darth Arya]

My name's Katie,I like Sith Lords.

[Twelve Angry Nonmen]

Scrolling through the PoN wiki for an appropriately be-umlaut'd name.

Yeah, but why did you pick Jurble?

Uhhh .... I can't remember.

[Brienne the Beauty]

I like to play big tough women fighters in D&D. And I signed up fairly soon after the new board started so I wanted to grab a canon character name before they were gone!

[Shingo]

My forum name is my name

The name itself derives from a project I had to do in Spanish class as a freshman in high school. We had to devise our own Spanish super hero and describe their appearance and powers in Spanish. Everybody else's was pretty garden variety. Mine wore suits and had diplomatic immunity, as well as a special cane which allowed him to travel through time. And a moustache. The moustache had no powers, except perhaps the power to cause beautiful ladies to swoon. His tagline was "Danger is my middle name." So technically his name was Jorge Danger Danger.

This is only slightly less awesome than being 'Uncle Buck.'

I am at my most attractive when I'm asleep. Mainly because I don't say or do anything, just lie there.

Are you sure about this? Or just over-thinking it again? Only speaking for myself, I prefer the object of my affections to a least twitch a bit.

Have you tried a taser?

Wait, wait... it's because your name is Steve, right?

You wish you were reminded of Frosty. Many of us do.

[Prince of the North]

Well, I'm from the North (of the contiguous US anyway) and I'm a prince among men so I thought, why not?

ETA: Or, another thought that crossed my mind when I was trying to come up with a board name was that I like the North in the books.  But "King of the North" was already taken so I thought I shouldn't be completely greedy and settled for "Prince of the North"

Once, thousands of years ago, there was an Orc warrior named Jurblethesky, which was my brilliant innovation on the Orc Blademaster from Warcraft 3, Moogul the Sly.

[Chise]

A shy awkward girl who'll slowly grow to destroy the world

Went with that instead of the usual name+nickname been using on interwebz since AOL days of yore

And this whole time I was just thinking mozzarella is delicious. But I'm not the best speler.

[peterbound]

When I tried to join the board the first time, many many years ago (and for some reason couldn't), I was en route to peterson AFB.  For some reason i've used that name for a lot of forums ever sense.

[mashiara]

My first Internet community experience was with a WoT board right after reading Jordan's books. Mashiara means Beloved in his work. What can I say, I was a hopeless romantic back then.

Wotmania?

[mashiara]

No, Dragonsworn, a much smaller board. People just stopped posting there years ago. It seems the only good thing that came out of it was me meeting dalThor there.



ETA So I guess being a hopeless romantic when picking a username 11 years ago got me a husband off the Internet and eventually two beautiful baby boys. Not bad, not bad at all.

[SkynJay]

I have used this name for just about anything internet related for about 12 years, originally as a handle for games.

Long Story Time!

Like a ton of idiotic high school kids do when joining video games, I picked a band name as my avatar when joining Ultima Online.  So for a year I was Skynyrd.  When I realized I didn't want to tie my identity to a band forever, but wanted my Starcraft clan to still recognize me, I dropped half the name and added my real middle name to it.  Thus, Skyn_Jay.   Later jammed them together into one word/name.

Now it is always good to know that I can sign up for just about anything and my name will not be taken.

[Daenerys Stormborn]

Dany used to be my favorite character years ago. When I started playing WoW Daenerys was taken on my server so I went with Stormborn, and it stuck for all my mains. So for 4 years I was accustomed to responding to Storm. I was still playing when I signed up for the forum and thought since it wasn't taken that it was meant to be. I've thought about changing it a few times, but I don't post enough to care enough
