Gimme some stories, I want to hear some inspirational stories and I wouldn’t mind some meme one either.

I got my name from, well, Rainbow Road. I used to despise that track with hatred, but now I adore it.

My full username is “Stardust Castaway” for most things (I didn’t use the full name for my battletag because it’s too long imo), which was inspired by the song “Cosmic Castaway” from that old movie Titan A.E. I changed it to “Stardust” because of something from the show Cosmos.

. . . space . . . it’s because of space.

OGgiraffrey

My real name is Jeffrey and I’m 6’4”. My first year of college all of my friends and I came up with animals we’re similar to and they came up with giraffe for me. So Jeffrey+giraffe=giraffrey. The OG part is a regret because giraffrey was taken, so I had to think of something so I chose OG, even though their is nothing gangsta about me.

Well, this is fun to explain.

The first iteration of my name was Meowvoker (I have an old account of this name where I dropped because I forgot both the ID and the password), which means a Cat invoker.

Afterwards I changed it to Meowjoker, because I am terrible at Invoker and I saw a pic of a cat in the Joker makeup.

The inspiration for my name is from dragon ball z, my inspiration was from a mixture of the ending theme and the term zenkai boost.

I loved the Cirque Du Freak books, and my favorite character was Larten Crepsley.

I played WoW before the whole battletag thing was introduced and tried to make a character named after him, but it was taken so I dropped the “e.” Then when battletags came out, I just used that name, since it was my main and I was used to being called that at this point.

So yeah, Crepsly. :stuck_out_tongue:

Funny thing, though, considering how Mr. Crepsley looks, you’d think I’d be a Moira main. XD He’s a vampire and even has the nails right.

Pure irony on usernames that are too tryhard. Started using when I began playing TF2.
If I do bad then the username fits.
If I do good, people get some nice laughs when they see the name.
