I know how I chose my BYOND name; it's the from my website design consultancy: digitalmouse international.

How did you decide to choose your BYOND name?

For example:
- is 'Lesbian Assassin' a lesbian who is an Assassin, or one who assasinates lesbians? Hmmm....
- and what about 'Foomer'? Was this a result of a comic explosion?
- I'm not sure I want to even guess about 'Spuzzum'...

Normally I use the name eSavior, but when registering byond it told my the first letter of my name needed to be capital, so I decided to go with my Gnome Rogue in EQ.

hit EQ's random name generator got Winbik decided to add a 'o' to the end to make it round better.

Mine is the result of a drunken conversation on a boat that I had with a buddy of mine from college.

We decided that if we ever went into business together, our company would need a mascot. We immediately decided on a dog, but then spent the better part of the afternoon deciding what kind of dog. We ultimately came up with an Alaskan Malamute (but I guess that's really not relevant to the story).

Regards,
Corporate Dog

My nick was inspired by my favorite Half-Life character, Headcrabbed Scientist Writhing In Chair.

Well my name just kinda inspires me to draw I guess. Really my original mud name and stuff is Semaj(not because its james spelled backwards, my name isn't even james). I saw Semaj as a cool name for some reason since it could transform. Surely not to the coolest names of transformation because it referred to male part excrement. Semaj, Semenj, Semen, Semen J. Frog.... Bla bla bla, I'v heard all those names of what the name has been called(if that made any sense). Also when I was thinking up a key, an old blue seed tape I had was right there and it had Kusanagi on the cover, and my Ghost in the Shell video was right next to it, with of course, Lt. Kusanagi on the cover. Well thats my origin of names.

I've never been so happy to not understand a word of something in my life.

(Note: emphatically not a request for clarification.)

I've had my nickname for over 11 years; it was given to me. I only ever use part of it, though.

It's back, in the forum archives. =)

Basically, I chose the name of an incredibly small town. I'm underexaggerating incredibly small, too.

Actually, "Foo" is just a word I use when I don't have anything better to use.

Mine was nothing more than your run-of-the-mill name generator. I think its a drow name, but I'm not sure. :P
