How did you pick your username?

[Daehkcarc#0001]

Mine is literally "Crackhead" backwards.

[noodle#0002]

I needed a new name and searched through other servers and liked "noodle" bc noodles r swag

[Misly#8067]

erm, I just kept generating passwords through a password manager and misly came out

[Kuriyens#0004]

A mishmash of names, combined with trying to find a new PSN name

[JakeyPrime#0001]

My username was always just my full name, and when i was younger that was no problem, and I have such an awful last name that it was never taken so I could have it everywhere. Eventually giving that name out to friends was a super big headache, so I stopped doing that.

People have called me Jakey my whole life, and I had the idea that it would be useful to have a name close enough to my name that it was something I would respond to, but something different from my actual name. Jakey it was.

Im not sure how Prime came about, I have about 5000 hours in Warframe, so people often assume I got my name from Warframe, but you need to realize that I needed to pick my username before knowing anything about Warframe. It just happened to fit.

I still love my username after all these years and I don't see myself changing it, it doesn't hide my identity, but it's still an alias so I can differentiate people online versus irl. If someone calls me Jake they are typically close friends or IRL friends, Jakey is less formal, and I like being able to have the 2 be seperate but close enough that people wont find it weird switching to Jake once they know me well enough.

Creative enough to use your own name as your username, that's at least creative.
