Well I named him that cause Gogeta is the strongest DB/Z/GT characther and level 5 (even though unreal) is the highest level.
SonGoku V3
05-13-2002, 09:14 PM

Bob...SpongeBob
05-13-2002, 09:36 PM
the name is Bob...SpongeBob. International Sponge of Mystery. :D (I originally wanted to have a SpongeBob pic with an Austin Powers type groovy background, but I couldn't find a way to make it work...)

In the past, when explaining the origin of my username, I've used quotes from the film, but tonight, I'll tell you straight up: one of my favorite movies is Spaceballs, directed and co-written by Mel Brooks and released in 1987. It's a pretty cool name, IMO.
Chris Sanders MSX

Chris Sanders is my real name, and MSX is a nick name I gained whiled at CNX crafted from my old name over there.
Allen's Nickname.

I like the word spaz. I don't know why. I kinda rolls off the tip of your tounge. 13 was my age when I joined (I'm 14 now) And 88 is my year of birth.

I got my name from one of my favorite characters in cartoons. I used Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants because he is so funny in it. Eventhough I like Patrick, I don't always have an avatar up of him. That would be too boring and to hard to do. I feel that people look beyond my name here and look at my personality here. Just think, my name is of a Nickelodeon character but I'm a mod of the Cartoon Cartoon board.
Failure
05-13-2002, 10:08 PM
It's what everyone refferred to me as a kid. First it was "The Failure Kid" as in "Where's the failure kid?" "The failure kid is a real idiot, you know that?"
Later people got lazy and just started saying failure.

I got my username from my parents ;)
I always use "Meow" for a username when I can't think of anything. Why? Cause I like that word...and I've got a lot of cats and that's all they EVER say to me. Besides how could anyone ever forget such a simple name. I thought it might help me get noticed around here.

05-13-2002, 10:36 PM
I kind athought the name would sound cool and I like ccf.
Zechs
05-13-2002, 10:46 PM
I like Zechs what more can I say.
I loved a game called Breath of Fire 3 on PS1. In it there was a character called Rei and was my favorite character. That's my name in a nutshell.

Sugar Daddy is a nickname
Dark Spider
05-14-2002, 12:04 AM
I used to be called Liquid Spider at a variety of forums and Message boards. But I registered that name awhile ago here (Sept 2001) and I forgot the password. :(
Now I re-registered at Toonzone as Dark Spider since I like dark things and the spider part was left over from my old username.
Actually, the name is inspired from Metal Gear Solid where all of Fox Hunt's members names follows a format where the first part of the name is their unique trait while the second part is a random animal's name. Whereas, they have Revolver Ocelot and Sniper Wolf, you guys have Dark Spider.

My name came during a spur-of-the-moment joke when we were making fun of Star Trek's Borgs. 7 of 9, 20 of 100, so... 4 of 3... get it? Get it?
*cricket chirp*
Eh, no one ever does.... I guess you just had to be there. :p

05-14-2002, 12:49 AM
Around the time I was just becoming a Farscape fan I was lurking at the old CNX board.... the one before EZ Board.
That board allowed for looooong user names and I called myself at the time, "My name's John Crichton... an astronaut!" cuz I loved that opening.
When he changed to EZ Board, I shortened it.

it was the 2nd dumbest name i thought of after "blackface" something.
Carnage
05-14-2002, 01:23 AM
Carnage is my favorite ficitonal character from anything. And for those of you who don't know, Carnage is the spawn of the Venom symbiote in the Spider-Man series. But I think most everyone knows that.
Carnage
Jowy Blight
05-14-2002, 03:08 AM
Well, I got this from one of my favriote games called Genso Suikoden 2. Since I felt alot like the character named Jowy Atreides (he didn't become a Blight until later in the game) he was also my favriote character. So I went ahead and used it.
Annie-Mei
05-14-2002, 03:54 AM
Mine is kinda obvious
Mattashell
05-14-2002, 04:58 AM
My name is an amalgamation of my real name Matthew, and the popular line from the movie Network, "I'm mad as Hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
The line was also in the satire UHF
Also my real initials are M. A. H. When I am writing you will often see characters (usually villains) with the same initials.
I originally made this handel up for a colum in a zine I was planning to write where I would complain about things that tick me off. It never got off the ground.
SPECIAL BONUS FEATURE
Fun with Mattashell's user name!
Here are some ways you can pronounce my name.
Matt as Hell
Matt a shell
Mattashe the second
Joe Tully
05-14-2002, 05:54 AM
My name was just "Tully" but then I got bitten by a radioactive Joe.
The rest...is history.
Here are some ways you can pronounce my name.
I always think of it as Matta Shell. Almost like Mattershell with a N.Y. accent.
Mattashell
05-14-2002, 06:23 AM
I like that way. In fact I often sign my posts
-Matta

My name's just a Japanese word I found in a book. :D But I just thought the name sounded cool. :) Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
Feslmogh
05-14-2002, 08:32 AM
I made mine from an old WordPerfct DOS program.
I was playing with the contrast controls from an 386 IBM in the early ninties. I noticed that the highlighed letters as still visible and spelled out a word. I took out one of the letters and came up with Feslmogh! And that's the truth.http://216.40.201.38/otn/funny/jump1.gif
I have no idea where Gyro came from. I heard it somewhere and it just stuck in my head.
Last night I was chatting with some people and discovered something new. Apparently there's a Gyro sandwhich. :rolleyes:
CoolBlue
05-14-2002, 09:31 AM
I have crazy friends at school that call me blue because I wear blue like everyday. So I just added cool to it and there you go. My avatar was kind of addition to my screen name because its Neptune and its cool and blue.

05-14-2002, 11:22 AM
i thought everyone knew what a gyro (pronounced "gee'ro) was. i know new yorkers and chicagoans know about them.
for those who don't, a gyro is greasy slices of beef, cheese, lettuce, onion and tomato with sour cream on pita bread.
GOOD EATIN'!

I wanted a name that reflected Azrael, the Avenging Angel, but that sounded cool too. I never cared much for the name Azrael, so I came up with DarkAngel.
Spooky05
05-14-2002, 01:01 PM
spooky = tenna's squeeky cool doll from jhonen vasquez's comic 'i feel sick.' also, its one of my nicknames with friends and family.

Joe Wagner
05-14-2002, 02:04 PM
The jjw are my initials and the Spider comes from my nickname in high school. While I was goal tending for lacrose people said it was like I had a web around the net because I only gave up one goal in 13 games. Couple that with the fact I'm a huge comic geek and people just started calling me Spider.
-Joe!
Evil Dr. Reef
05-14-2002, 02:31 PM
I stole my username from The Polisher. That's why he's "The Polisher" instead of "Evil Dr. Reef". It's from the "Flipmode" episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Grr.... One of these days, POW! Right in the kisser!
After I found out about that, inconvenience, I needed something else, so I watched some Space Ghost for inspiration. "The Polisher" is one of Space Ghost's imaginary enemies in "The Brilliant Number One."

The Penguin
05-14-2002, 03:01 PM

And since the title says define :p

Ooooo! Those are goooooood! It's a Greek type thing! Totally great (at least to me!) :D
sumi masen is Japanese for "I'm very sorry" or "Exuse me"
I just liked it, and the name stuck. It's now one of my many alter egos..... I only have 5 or so... :p :rolleyes: ;)

I pronounce the "G" like a "J" and the "Y" like an "I" so there you have it. The CORRECT way to pronounce my internet handle. :p

My name is Doug and I am insane.
Morbid Angel
05-14-2002, 06:47 PM
Morbid Angel was just a stroke of inspiration. A neat, evil sort of sounding name. Also a Godly death metal band.
The Guitar Slayer
05-14-2002, 07:05 PM
'Round about the time I registered, I was doing a lot of listening to the Who, with their guitar smashing guitarist, Pete Townshend. A tip of the hat to him and to all great guitarists.

05-15-2002, 04:34 AM
Well for my user name, the 228 Repensents my birth date, February 28th, quite simple really. :p :p :p :rolleyes:
Nick Biped
05-15-2002, 07:39 AM
"Nick" comes from the first syllable of my last name, Nicodemo. Plus, for some reason, an unusual amount of people in RL have thought Nick was my first name. So, I'm playing off that too.
"Biped" comes from, well, the fact that I am a biped (a two-footed creature). :b
I've had this username on other message boards since over a year ago. That's why I brought it over here as well.
Karkull
05-15-2002, 07:48 PM
When I signed up it was also mainly for the Batman/Superman boards, and Karkull was one an obscure Superman character from one of the episodes (the major ones were largely taken, there were like three Joker-related names). I also chose Karkull because he was designed to resemble Cthulhu, one of H.P. Lovecraft's classic creations.
redDragon
05-15-2002, 09:09 PM
I think I made up this name (I've forgotten how I first made it up for years) because I liked the color red, I was on a dragon kick, and it just looked cool.
Sandro
05-15-2002, 09:54 PM
Sandro is a character from Heroes of Might and Magic III (which I used to play all the time) and 885 is my birthdate, August of 1985.
Andy Mancini
05-16-2002, 12:05 AM
It's a nickname my brother gave me due to my tendancy of using "Invader Zim" clips in my remixes.
czyznyck99
05-16-2002, 03:48 PM
The '99 is the year I graduated from high school. 'Czyznyck' is my first name. I'm not Polish, and do not ask me how I got my name, even I don't know (though I have a few theories) why.
Maybe someday, when the bitterness of teachers trying to pronounce this name on the first day of school has passed (let alone spell it correctly), I'll be more willing to talk about it. ;)
til next time kiddies...
Livewire
05-16-2002, 08:02 PM
I picked my name because Superman: The Animated Series is my favorite Timm animated show, and I wanted to be a villainess. Since Livewire seemed to me the most recognizable and most well- known of the S:TAS girl baddies, I picked her. (Hey, watch out for my lightning bolt... ;) :p )
Kuro-Neko
05-16-2002, 09:43 PM
I got my name because....I wasn't thinking reality.I'm a girl and I'm cool well forget the cool part
Ravenger
05-17-2002, 02:01 AM
Well I have a hard time coming up with names... they're either too lame... newbie like or just plain stupid. Mainly I used them in my gaming league... didn't do much chat or boards for some reason.
Well this came about after some thought... lack of sleep and total lack of thought to.
I thought of the word Ravage and thought "Hmm.. Ravager... nah... kinda weak... hmm..." So I changed the a to an "en" and it clicked! Rav-en-ger!
And ever since it is the nick I used everywhere, not only in my game league but on Toonzone, AIM, Battle.net, ICQ, my sites and stuff and so on. On some stuff I couldn't have just "Ravenger" so I had to add a GM to the beginning to form a GMRavenger. The GM stands for whatever you like.. might I suggest Grand Moff, Grand Martial, Great Man, General Man, General Motors.
Opaque
05-17-2002, 06:44 PM
I made up box drink when i ran for treasurer at my school. i even made a symbol for it. it was just an easy way to get my name out without people having to do alot of reading. i din't make my symbol my avatar because i like bebop to much. actually i wish i had a rad bebop name.
G. Wen
05-17-2002, 07:17 PM
When I was little, people used to mentally torture me. In order to survive, I had to adopt evil ways to counteract these people. I had to be like the "Diablo". "Des" just gives the name a feminine twist.
Combat Sock
05-17-2002, 09:11 PM
I got mine from my bands name XDogg to the YO. :cool:
Maxie Zeus
05-18-2002, 11:50 AM
Mine refers to the King Tut-like villain from BTAS. Maxie Zeus is a criminally insane shipping tycoon who thinks he's the reincarnation of the Greek deity. I picked it for its comically egotistical connotations.
Singin' Stray Cat
05-18-2002, 03:12 PM
When I was first signing up for the TZ forums, I wanted to pick a really good username - something that would sum up a lot of things about me, and most importantly, something I wouldn't get tired of seeing every time I came here.
I wanted to use something Animaniacs-related, since it's one of my favorite shows, but something a little different than "(insert name) Warner." I like cats, and love music. I'm female, single, and the not-so-proud-co-owner of a large, dopey dog. (Well, okay, she's lovable too. :) ) Hmm...sounded a lot like... Rita... the musical stray cat from Animaniacs... I changed it a bit to Singin' Stray Cat for a bit of Southern flavor, and presto! My username was born!
Parallax
05-18-2002, 09:37 PM
If anyone thinks my name is bad listen to my EZBoard name is.......
himynameiskrillianpick.Now thats a bad name.
My username?
Well, the Samurai Jack fans out there should find that to be a pretty obvious question!
*grins, then shrugs*
What else can I say? Aku is one of my favourite animated villains of all time, and I just loved the way he frelled with Jack's mind in episode VI.
No need to explain further.

Seafaring
05-19-2002, 07:07 PM
well mine is rather simple. AK for alaska, and girly because I am a girl. If I wasn't so tired at the time, I would have came up w/a better name, but for now it will have to do.
Mr. Obsession
05-19-2002, 07:42 PM
Let's see: I'm male (and I can prove it too :D)
I tend to be obsessed with fanboyish things.
Ergo... Mr. O!
deleatur
05-19-2002, 10:34 PM
I'm deleatur (http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/49/493.html) because I was looking around at symbols.com looking for inspiration for a logo I was making, and stumbled across the symbol 'deleatur' which means 'to be deleted'. For some reason the word struck a chord with me (probably something to do with the atari teenage riot song 'delete yourself')
and yeah, that's my story.
