Fenrir = the Norse, wolf god of destruction.

I went by RedFenrir for a long time on various sites. One dude dug my posts so much, he started referring to me as Master Fenrir. I thought it had a nice ring, so I adopted it afterwards. Oddly enough, I'm starting to get used to people calling me MF, even though I know what you bastards really mean by it.

My username was intended to be used for a quick game with a friend. I'd already tried several decent usernames, all taken when my friend had started getting impatient.

One of my friends' first name is "Leon." He's a pretty cool guy but also very entertaining to poke fun at (he knows it's a joke, and we never do anything VERY annoying). One of the things that we used to do was find words that rhyme with his first middle and last names (the others of which are more easy to rhyme things with, but I will not post them here for his privacy). Another thing that we did was sign him up for a whole ton of sites (with the email he did not use often) or, failing that, to sign up using "Leon" as part of the name.

Seeing as his name was taken (by another friend, who was later banned for being a multi around the time I joined), I just quickly threw together two words that rhyme with Leon,. "The Neon Peon" was his nickname for a day or so because it happened to be the only name that vexed him. (ah, what wonderful memories)

Then, I decided to stick around to the site. Generally people just refer to me as just "Neon" or just "Peon"
... but for some reason I've never been referred to as just "The"

Understandable. Always nice to vex friends though.

Me and my brother would always save data for video games as our names Luke and Jack and get in fights over who could play etc. Thus the LJ for our initials, we then added EX because it sounded cool, and 24 because 2 was his favorite number and 4 was mine (2 was first because L for my name was first). Eventually however i just started making all my user names ljex (dropping the 24) for things like email, CC, and any other online accounts thus defeating the purpose of LJEX to begin with and now despite me being 19 and my brother being 15 we again fight over who can play saved game/online accounts for video games.

P.S. Im also know as The Samurai but that is a story for another day.

Lol, at first I was going to make fun of you, but this turned out to be the most interesting story in this thread.

It is indeed one of the more interesting stories in the topic.

I usually signed up for online games using my favorite American Idol Contestant: Constantine. Unfortunately, this name had been taken by a conquer clubber who signed up in 2006. Unsure of what to do, I went on an epic quest to Huntington Beach's pier. There, while slurping on a frozen banana (there's always money in the banana stand) I ran into a gnarly surfer name Cole. Cole told me of adventures he had on the Peruvian coastline. He told me of all the coke he did, the women he knew (in the biblical sense), the prank calls he made. One prank call, in specific, he made to a woman named Jennifer. He had dialed 867-5309 and left a dirty voicemail on her answering machine. Jennifer had just been forced to sell off her engagement ring to a local pawn shop so that she could pay off her mortgage and buy diapers. She had just been fired from her waitress job. The diapers were for her Nana who was in the nursing home in San Antonio, TX. When Jennifer went to the post office to mail our these diapers, she ran into a surfer named Cole who was bragging about some prank calls he had made months earlier. One of them sounded strangely horrific. Just as Jennifer confronted Cole, a masked bandit entered the post office and demanded that someone buy him a stamp so that he could mail a letter to his sweetheart in Germany. This sweetheart's name was Amanda. Amanda was a huge Constantine fan,she could sing along to all his songs. It was just two weeks after she received her masked bandit boyfriend's letter that I changed my username to Beckytheblondie.

My user name was an "elven" name chosen for me by a bunch of high school buddies after we had all read the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the early 1980's. Actually, all of the guys in my circle of friends had an elven name.

We use to gather at my house (Rivendell) and play a game we made up called Orc. It was similar to capture the flag, but we had all the characters of the Lord of the Rings represented in the game... a ranger, elves, hobbits, dwarfs, and a wizard vs. the orcs, goblins, and nazguls. Each of these characters had different powers and could capture each other while trying to capture the "ring" from the other team. We also had a neutral Shelob roaming around who could capture anyone and everyone in the game. We would play this game at night which made it all the more challenging and exciting.

I really wish I still had the rules to the game as it was pretty elaborate and a heck of a lot of fun.

Just a small dick discussion with a guy on BlogTV, and his username was Creeper13, better known as Creeper...so after we had the small genitalia discussion, I took on the moniker CreepersWiener. So I am named after the very small penis of a bald music videographer from California.

CC, my REAL name is Art Skeohdivad, and I am Ukrainian. My camp suggested jumbling my letters and I came up with mine which is a common Dutch name.

I was nursing a bowl of alphabet soup when I first came upon the site and well, you can figure out the rest.

I am terrible at math. Took a hell of a lot of studying and lot of work to scrape by in high school math with good enough grades to make it to University, so I always thought it would be ironic to pick a name based on a skill that I am terrible at.

But that's only half the story - the other half is that I remember watching an episode of Home Improvement in which one of the kids struggled with math, and Tim Allen made some stupid comment about being "the denominator" in a Schwarzenegger-esque voice like the Terminator. Being bad at math, I found it hilarious, and have since stuck with denominator as my username everywhere.

Well, I am Faramir, so i made it Faramir.

Years back in HS i use to play Halo1 & 2 on the original Xbox with me and my buddies, always had the username "grifftron" since then.

griff goes with my last name Griffith and tron was suppose to be like a... well like a... i forget now, but it "was" awesome. Anyways to make a long story short, some buddies still to this day call me "grifftron". I was sick at Halo 1 & 2 by the way, never played xbox360 or halo 3 but im sure i could still waste all at halo. :mrgreen:
