Oh, why have you people called yourselves what you have?<p>Is there any deep seated reasons?<p>Me first:<p>The first play I was in I played a character called Forge, and ever since that the entire society has called me Forge.

When I was signing up an account for KGS, I was thinking of a name, and my bro just appeared and wrote Kexmex. So, I always call myself that.

It's my real first name, but without a ^ on the i, because that tends to give weird font formatting problems. So, it's my nickname, but at the same time it isn't.

ROMeo is the shadowname of my first character from Mage: The Ascension (a Virtual Adept, took the idea for the name from RAMses). He's my favorite from all my other WoD characters.

LaconianShot... a weapon in PSIII. No real thought-provoking meaning. I just liked the weapon, and it popped into my mind.

My name came from a Smashing Pumpkins song called "Soothe". I was trying to use it as a username for a Pumpkins chat room (a long time ago) but it was already taken so I used a "z" instead of an "s". Just kinda stuck with me from then on.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by zoothe on [TIME]1110328300[/TIME]][/size]

Mine is My created comic characters name, I discovered it while in science class in the 8th grade, we had one of those jumbled word finds, and it was "rate" jumbled into "etra" I loved the way it sounded and its stuck ever since as my name i use for anything i.e. forums, chat rooms, comics, and video games.

<p>B.t.w. My avatar is a drawing of etra for those who didn't know :p

Mine is portuguese from Monochromatic. In the first year at college, in 1997, a classmate asked me why I only wear black or grey clothes (now only black... they become grey with time, though). I thought for a second and remembered the old monochromatic monitors, and said I was monochromatic as well. That became my alias from then on, and now even people I don´t know there know that there was once a Monocromatico roaming around that college.<p>I´m also THE Monocromatico. If you do a google search, you will most likely stumble over at least one link related to me in the first result page.

I mostly go by Anza or Ansa as of late (Ansa Mean's virtue in finnish and Anza is basicly a cooler spelling of it) as for gm2987, thats a long story, when I first signed up on a forum I went to I signed up as GameMaster however that name was taken, so I took GameMaster2, later when I was making my email I gamemaster2 was taken, so I added on the last 3 digits of my birth year, 987 ^_^ later I got tired of calling myself a gamemaster and it just became gm2987
