Mine is kind of silly. The Z in Zmaster18 stands for Zelda. As a kid, Zelda was my favorite series. 18 is my favorite number.

Hah that's funny because even before I read this every time I read your name I would think "iiiiit's ChowDA! CHOWDA!"

Mine are my initials, or at least my first three initials, my family have two middle names.

I used to play Dance Dance revolution a lot and my favorite songs were the MAX remixes. MAX 300, MaxX Unlimited and The Legend of MAX. My godparents also had a dog at the time named Maximus. MaxXimus is a blend of those. Right now my nickname is MaxXimus backwards but I found that xX looked cooler than Xx so I kept the small x first.

Just the first letter in my nickname. I think I was inspired by one letter initials like L in Death Note.

What is your name by the way? Your name P is almost nameless :P It's the bare minimum to label your identity here!



And to the Mods here, is it possible to change our names here? I might just want to go as Nick here. I kinda don't like my name zmaster18, even though I have used it on many websites. My name actually originated back in like 2006 or something when I was part of Nintendo's official forums, Nsider. I was 12 then and thought of a crappy name.

Where/when did your names originate? Do you use the same name on other websites?

I quite like zmaster18 actually :p

I only have the power to change my own nickname. You could try PMing UglyJoe. I can't promise he will though.

Maybe I'll just keep it so people can identify me, but y'all can always just call me Nick, or da NickMeister18.  :star:

When it came time to choose my first username, i was a large fan of the Toy Story series. WF stands for Woody Fan (woody referring to the character from Toy Story, obvs). 72 i think was random.

I don't even know if I'd recently seen that episode again at the time or not, it just got stuck in my head when I was signing up at NA, and carried it over here.

I didn't know what to call my Youtube account so I just happened to name it after a game I'd played recently and it stuck for a while. I usually call myself JP Ronny now (I have tried to change my username here but nothing's come of it so whatever) which I also came up with by just naming myself after an unlicenced game ::)

This was actually my AIM name back when people still used AIM, and it just seemed to carry over everywhere I went. I'm starting to phase it out, though. :-\

My nickname is literally from an e-mail address that I created just to get extra points on a Super Mario fan-survey that I took when I was very young. I took a part of my dad's e-mail address and changed 3628 to 3648 to separate us two... despite how drastic the changes are as-is.

Since my e-mail address is now defunct (for the most part), it was mariobros3648, and I tended to shorten it to mario3648 when needed.

Hooray for desperation of useless points!

I just really like bacon.  ;D

I have food-related names for almost every one of my accounts. I don't think I've used anything bacon-related on other sites, though...

I do wish I would have used a different name for this website. Something Famicom-related.

First two letters are my initials, x is because I have the same initials as my father and grandfather, so my father is actually JP junior, so I had to come with something else.
And 72? It's a hole in the matrix :crazy: This number is everywhere, and it's with me through all my life. I'm ok, thanks for asking :D

I'm a guy and HVC is the Nintendo product code for the Famicom, that and it sounds kinda like a Mega Man Robot Master. I should draw up an HVC-Man sprite at some point.

As for my avatar, I'm a huge fan of Mother / Earth Bound (NES). It's a great game, one of the best RPGs for the Famicom/NES.

I like how your avatar is the hippie from Mother. I also really like Mother way more than Mother 2.

I used to write for a Silverchair fansite called "silverchair.nu." That was back in high school and for a couple years after. Hence, "nusilver."

Protoman as in the Megaman character, simple as that.

I was always way into Megaman, since I was a kid. Then by my teenage years I had rediscovered Megaman games and I had personal and family troubles at the time,
I related to Protoman because he left his creators to be independent, slave to nobodys will but his own.

My first name starts with a J and my last name is Ray and I think it looks cooler to spell out the letter j as jay. Also It was a nick name given to me by my best friend years ago.

My username stems from my first email address that I still use to this day. I have another one featuring my real name for professional purposes, but I still forward all of the mail it gets to nintendodork@gmail.com. Haha.

During my last internship I have responded to my editor on at least one occasion using nintendodork by accident (curse Gmail for iOS). I don't think he noticed because my avatar for all of my Gmail addresses is identical.

My avatar is just a mixture of my two interests, Nintendo and glitch art.

A few older members here know my name, but since I've been a part of this community for a fourth of my life I feel like you should all be able to call me by my real name; Tyler. ;D
