Since I believe that Eikichi Onizuka is Super, I coined my SN as Super Onizuka. Also helps that he is my favorite anime character.

Mine is also a nickname. It's for Kazuki Sendou from Comic Party. My friends gave it to me after seeing it on fansubs because I apparently share a great many qualities with Kazuki, except for his drawing ablility.

My username is a nickname from high school. A friend of mine gave that to me around my sophmore year. The first half of the name, 'verd' is the first half of my last name, and the second half, the 'oozle' is just something he replaced the last half of my last name with (I have know idea where he got it from). The name has stuck for all these years and that is pretty much the only thing people call me now.

Abarenbo Shogun (暴れん坊将軍) is the name of a fictional Edo-era samurai series on the TV Asahi Network from 1978-2003. The original title was Yoshimune Hyobanki: Abarenbo Shogun (Chronicle in Praise of Yoshimune: The Bold Shogun) but that was dropped after a few seasons.

"Zalis" is a name that I made up myself for a story in my tenth-grade English class, around ten years ago. (It was a story about cats who ruled the world Smile )

116 is my favorite/special number, and I added it onto my name because the registration messed up the first time when I signed up as simply "Zalis." (Never got the activation e-mail Evil or Very Mad ) The reason that it's my special number is a long story that I won't get into here. I'll just say that it involves the 1994 Orange Bowl between Florida State and Nebraska.

(And btw, the "a" rhymes with the "a" in "Naruto," and the "i" rhymes with the "i" in "Li," emphasis on the second syllable="zahLEES")

It you real name Eric the Loon.

Mine, It is one that people don't forget, and besides Nebula was a nickname I had in Junor High. The Advent part came out as a joke (I am not telling the story just to be on the safe side) at first, but it kina stuck.

one fateful day in 7th grade i was reading summaries of recent yugioh episodes, and one of the most recent ones was the one in the Ancient Egypt/Memory Arc and it talked about a man who saw a "shirokiryuu" or white dragon in the desert (Kisara)

it's not like yugioh is my favorite show or kisara is my favirotie character.. it was a spur of the moment... "Hey! a random japanese word! I'll punch it in aim and see if it's taken!"

it was taken on aim (i used shirokiryu instead) but then i started using it as my other screen names since it seems to not be taken all the time

and i have 7 or so other screennames, which are from me looking up random words in the japanese english dictionary...

Ironically i'm not a big fan of lexicons

The 'NGE' on my username comes from a fairly popular series title, which shouldn't be too hard to figure out. The '1113,' on the other hand, is something of a running gag, as it's been on every handle I've ever used online.

I couldn't think of anything, for a name for anything then while I was playing Dynasty Warriors 4 I got Ma Chao's last weapon, which was called Last Stallion, and I was like that sounds pretty cool and I have used that whenever I make a name since then.

My user-name (Remember Love) deals with the Macross movie...Macross: Do you Remember Love. Since I'm a big fan of robotech and use the robotech forums I couldn't use a character name seeing how all of them have been taken before I had the chance of using any of them and I hate putting numbers beside the names (like: Rickhunter123, etc.)...So, I decided since I am a robotech and macross fan I'll use the movie name Remember Love.
I use it for almost every website seeing how a lot of people don't use it,don't know why though... Maybe people find it too femine(if I spelled it right) or girly.
Oh, and I am a male just incase if anyone has there doubts about that.

Efan, you could even be 'trendy' and call yourself eFan, as in 'electronic fanatic' Smile

Shiroi Hane (which means 'white feather(s)'), is something I picked almost at random some years ago when I was trying to craete a new nick for myself that wouldn't already be taken on large boards like ezboards (ny pre-net nick, 'cat', was (unsurprisingly really) already taken in most places, and I'd gotten tired of the variations on the theme I'd been using). I originally came across the term from a Digimon card, I thought it sounded kinda cool and the imagery was nice so went with it.

Iemander is just "someone" in dutch twisted around a bit to make it sound good as a nick.

So yeah, if you had trouble pronouncing it, that's why, it's not english. It's actually ee - mander.

I also have a dutch name for female avatars I use in games. Inea, which would translate to ee - nay - yah.

Unfortunetly, thats what many people think I mean by it, so don't think that that's what it means. Btw It's pronounced "ee-fin" not "ee-fan", so that's a key difference Wink .

Edit- Fixed quote thingy.
