[Royston]

Ah man, I have use Royston on games and anime forums since around 1997-8 after I watched a certain film by Royston Vasey (Chubby) Brown but attribute it to League of Gentlemen for those who don't know of Roy's comedy

Mine is related to my profile pic

 

[Nikolasvanitas]

Well my name is Nick and I added Vanitas because I made my first account in a gaming forum when KH birth by sleep was released

 

[Leonhart]

It's my actual first name err... so close. My name is Leonardo and it and Leonhart are actually variations of the same name.

The origins of the real name actually differ... some people say It's french "Leonard", some people say the original is the german "Leonhardt".
Both are "junctions" (yeah FFVIII in all it's flavor hehe) of Lion and Hard... Meaning something like "a strong lion".

Actually is because of that name meaning that Squall has a Lion as symbol.

 

[Frei]

The major UK PS1 magazine did a big article on the upcoming game, Final Fantasy IX.

It did a section on each known playable character, one of which was Freija Crescent.

Obviously in the final release her name was localised to Freya. I think I used Freija as a username before the game released, but if I didn't it was before I played the game personally. I used Freija/Frei for years and years, it was a big part of my teenage years, and though I moved away from it eventually it's a name I'll always use on FF-related sites.

(that magazine also gave Amarant's name as Salamander, and I was real disappointed to find that Salamander is too many characters to rename him)

 

[yeah_93]

Well, I hadn't noticed this thread. Y'all have interesting stories, so mine as a bit disappointing. I was like in 7th grade (12 years old) and it was the first thing that passed through my head, followed by my year of birth. Yeah, I'm not a very creative guy.

 

[Kaii]

One of my early friends on this site, many many years ago typoed my name as Kaite, which somehow became Kaiite and then I shortened it to Kaii.

 

[BladeRunner]

My username is a subtle reference to the best science fiction movie ever

Spoiler

 

[Minion]

Old in-joke that never died. Ever.

I use other usernames, but Minion always stuck somewhere.

 

[Bremaine]

Mine is actually a reference to Flight of the Conchords two main characters. Bret and Jemaine. So I made up Bremaine. I'm a huge fan of them so I figure it works for me.
