Well i'm quite curious.
Does members had or has multiple Names over the internet or in online gaming?

My first time ever on a forum i called myself "Deadstrike"
And my current username here on ZD has never chanced for these past couple of years.
Also, with Wifi games or any other game that you have to give your character a name (except Zelda games) I go by the Name X-Treme. I don't know how the hell i came up with that name but i tought is was a cool name.
I tought changing my current name on ZD to this name, but yeah i have a lot of history with my current ZD name. So thats the reason i never changed it.

Skull_Kid
06-04-2009, 09:42 AM
Well... I'm skull_kid in this community, chapelofresonance forums(a castlevania forum),nintenforum-pt(a portuguese nintendo forum) and serebii

then at metroid2002 i'm Luna Aran, wich was my first forum, even before this one(a couple of days before, or so)

When I registered here, I was going through a playthrough of MM and I was really enjoying replaying it, and loving the skull kid character, so I ended up using this username.
I only registered in ChapelofResonance, Nintenforum and Serebii quite recently, so, I decided to use SK as well, cause I've grown accostumed to being called that

Smitie
06-04-2009, 10:38 AM
On my first forum (insidegamer.nl) I was known as zeldagirl (how original) for some months. When I registered at Zeldadungeon I decided to use one of my nicknames which is Smitie. I got used to this name and when I screwed up some settings at insidegamer I made a new account with the name Smitie. Since then I use the name Smitie for all internet stuff and if the name is not available I use Smitie1405

Master Link
06-04-2009, 12:07 PM
On my first online "venue" I was known as link6386, this was Gaia. Then I got banned because I was a victim of gold scamming. I created a new account there called Daytonpride12. I got bored with that name and changed it to captain_jack_sparrow12.

Soon after that I fell in love with the Kingdom hearts series and joined KHInsider forums with the name KH3 for the Wii. After that I stared joining some of my friends' start-up forums with the name Master Link.

I've kept that name through most of my forum experience, except for a few times where I used "Terminian Took" (based of off Hylian Hobbit :P).

The name does seem a little bland, so I'm currently trying to find a new one I like.

Shadsie
06-04-2009, 02:39 PM
I'm Shadsie at most places.

I'm Lady Shadowcat over on the fanfiction network and on the Trigun message board I go to - Trinut. This is a throwback to older days.

The Evolution of My Online Handle:

Upon first gettinng an interent ready computer at home and discovering the world of fanfiction writing, I decided I needed a name. I looked down at my little gray cat, Shadow, and boom: "Shadowcat."

(I found out later, much to my embarassment, that this was an X-Men comics charracter I'd never heard of. I was mistaken for a fan of that character. Sigh).

I was known as "Shadowcat" in Pokemon fandom circles. I eventually started going by Lady Shadowcat when I found a few other "Shadowcats" out there (particularly on the fanfiction network). Most of my friends called me "Shadsie" or "Shads," so I just picked Shadsie and stuck with it, leaving the "Lady Shadowcat" name up at places where I'm too lazy to change it.

Back when I was into the Left Behind books *shudders, trying not to remember those days* I was on the message board for them as "Shadsie Darkchristian" and I got quite a bit of stern talking to by suspicious "uber-holy" people who didn't quite like the "Dark" in my name, nor that I was open that my other favorite books at the time were high fantasy (Tolkien and such). Some people just cannot accept that there are those of us who acknoweldge that the Bible is R rated and that life is a brutal thing... "darkness" and all. I left those boards years ago.

At a Christian anime board (to which I also never want to return), I was Haibane Shadsie - owing to my love of the anime "Haibane Renmei" which was at a fever-pitch at the time...

Let's see.... I go by Shadsie Saverem over on AIM... it's a name I'm too lazy to change. The "Saverem" bit is from the anime, Trigun. It's the last name of a character who sacrifices herself to save many people. Some of the fandom hates her, I'm one of the ones who always loved her, so... I took her name.

I went by "Lushdesolation" for a while on Live Journal, having created the journal when I lived in Arizona. It comes from a line of a poem I once wrote about the Sonoran Desert being a place of "lush desolation."

I think I still have the "Lonesomepudding" name over on Journalfen - but I don't go there anymore and only created the account to defend myself and friends on Fandom Wank when people would put us up there for mockery. Let me tell you, once you're put on there, defending or explaining your actions, or even calliing for a little mercy does not work. Everyone's pretty much already judged you as worthless, end of story. I think the name came out of something Trigunnish, but I can't remember the exact origin, and it it doesn't mattter, as it's a long dead account. I only note it because I think that name is still on the JF system.

You asked for aliases, you got them.

Pretty much, though, in current use are Shadsie, Lady Shadowcat and Shadsie Saverem - that's it.

Nintendo_Master
06-04-2009, 05:28 PM
Jeez, it is tough to follow that up Shadsie...

But I am mainly known for Nintendo_Master. I also go by my real name for e-mail and other personal things (Only true internet friends know my name;)). I think I named myself The Majora on another site, but I cna't remember what site it was...

But overall, i am mainly known as the Nintendo Master.

Zeruda
06-04-2009, 08:16 PM
I'm known as "Zeruda" everywhere. I never really used any other alias. I guess it's because "Zelda" is never an available nickname, especially in TLoZ communities. Over at ZU, I use the katakana form since somebody decided register "Zeruda" and never use it. But it's still "Zeruda".

I've considered using a new alias... but, I just can't see myself getting used to anything else.

Y2K3
06-04-2009, 08:36 PM
This is pretty much my universal name.
When I joined my first forum (a Mario kart forum) back in 2003, I wanted the name YOSHI, as Yoshi is my favourite Mario character. YOSHI was taken, but I wanted to keep it in my name, so I just stuck the year on the end. Thus YOSHI2003 was born.
People gave me many nicknames on the forum, such as Yoshi or Y2003, but if I was referring to myself (*coughfanficcough*) I'd shorten it as much as I could, so I called myself Y2K3.
When I first joined ZD, I wanted to call myself YOSHI2003, but I figured Zelda fans mightn't like Yoshi too much, so I just used the shortened Y2K3. :P
I've pretty much used it everywhere since then.

My AIM name is MKCs YOSHI2003. MKC being the Mario Kart forum, and YOSHI2003 being my user name. I only signed up on AIM because I was taking with some friends I met through the forum, and MSN went down, so we all installed it so we could continue to talk. :P
My E-mail is simply my name, and Skype is simply yoshi_2003.

I'm sticking with this one, 'cause I like it, and it's much easier to remember one name. haha

Kazumi
06-04-2009, 10:39 PM
Hrmm.. Good question Oni. I almost always go by the name Kazumi. It's my general Internet name. I also name my characters in Pokemon or other games like that Kazumi. So if you see a Kazumi, it may be me. Also, in real life my alias is Kazumi Konata... Just in case I might need an alias.. Because I have to go undercover or something.. I don't know. I was just asked if I had an alias once by my friend, so that's what I thought of. Cool, eh? Not so much..

I don't really know where I got the name Kazumi. I know it's a real Japanese name, but I didn't know that when I thought of it. I believe I was looking at good names, and I thought Kasumi was a good name. But since I wanted to give it my own personal touch, and I like "Z"s more then "S"s, I changed it to Kazumi. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Kaynil
06-05-2009, 06:44 AM
When I fist joined the Anubis Boards, I decided for fun to have the screen name "Kokiri Kid" just like my now husband, even if we had our genders show up and completely different avatars, people still got mixed and some people asked us to change that. I changed my display name to "Kokiri Kid 2", hence my avatar acronym. I like shortening my name taht way, is convenient; Anyway, as you can see, Kokiri Kirl is kind of a reminder of those days. =]

Kokiri Kirl is unique enough, so I am sure if you see it somnewhere else, it most likely will be me. Though I think I rather stick with Kaynil.

In the Hyrule Kingdom, I used "Dark Rinku" as well as in Final Fantasy Paradise. But all this mentions are the rare ones and not the often used ones. It became awkward to hear "Rinku" and "she/her" in the same sentence, so I ended up trying to impose Kaynil again.

This names are a weirrd event, taht is why I can remeber them so well. xD

My base use name and the one I'll go to is "Kaynil" if you see "Kaynil Roczuz" then there's no doubt, it is me. Roczuz is a nick set from my highschool and my second choice when signing up, when Kaynil is already in use. (My third choice is Keiniru, but I really haven't had to use it yet.)

knowlee
06-05-2009, 05:36 PM
Well, my alias name on the internet mainly revolves around the one I currently have which is knowlee. When that one is taken I usually use knowlee_raven or knowleeraven, depending on which one the site will let me use (due to character restraints).

The reason why I choose that particular name is because it was the name of a fanfic character that I had a while back. Then one day I when I was signing up for something on the internet, I couldn't figure what I wanted to call myself. I then decided to take on the name of that particular fanfic character that I had created. Since then, I've taken her name as my own.

basement24
06-05-2009, 06:25 PM
I've oddly only had 3 main ones.

I was originally RobinIII back in the late 90's, which was a reference to Tim Drake, the third Robin in Batman comics. I used it when I started The World's Finest site.

After that, I was gra007, but I abandoned that because there seems to be hundreds of gra007's online, and I was starting to be confused with those people by some. Some of these gra007's were not upstanding individuals, so I didn't want to be associated with them. This was three letters on my computer speaker at the time, plus James Bond's 007.

With both of those no longer in use, now I use basement24. I really wish I'd thought of something a bit more clever to have here that was Zelda related... Oh well.

Kybyrian
06-05-2009, 06:32 PM
I have different aliases besides this one, yes. In fact, I don't use this one anywhere else. I typically go by Kenpari, or the older alias Kyjin, which I stole from a member at this forum, Alexander. :) Other than those two and Kybyrian, I don't go by anything else anymore.

Hylian Hobbit
06-11-2009, 04:02 AM
I've had a few aliases over the internet, but I mostly just go by Hylian Hobbit. Especially on Zelda forums. It was the name I used on my first Zelda forum, and I've used it ever since. It keeps me from having to be creative and come up with a new name. :)

Other than that, I went by 'Eldestelda' on an Inheritance forum (Eragon) called Inheritance Forums (go figure). It was my first forum apart from the little RPG one my friend made. I had joined IF a couple of years ago, and thought that my user name was so awesome. Until about two months later and then I was sick of it. :P I then cursed my bad naming skills. I no longer go there, though.

I used Brandalf for my ZU account that I've never really used. But then changed it to Hylian Hobbit after about 5 months of not doing anything there.

And I've also gone by Chris_Aldo, halflingguy, and Hobbit Lord. But they were used for accounts that I never used much.

Pretty boring. But after all, I am a rather boring person. :)

silent lion
06-11-2009, 05:39 AM
Me, I'm Silent Lion almost everywhere. On my own http://www.darknessilluminates.proboards.com]forums, though, I wanted to start something different so I used Dark Explorer, and I've used it a few places since so increasingly that's my username now. But generally, I'll be Silent Lion, here, at zeldagamers.com, legendofzelda.com, zeldadimension.net before it was hacked, zeldapoint. silentlion@live.co.uk 's my msn, go figure. On Bebo I'm tool_of_nature, on myspace I'm Nomad Soul and on Photobucket and Runescape (when I played it) I'm nightsaviour coz that was my backup at the time and Silent Lion was taken. Generally, though, I'm Silent Lion. I igured it had a nice ring to it, and I've a lot of history with this username.

ShellShocker
06-18-2009, 02:59 AM
Oh, where shall I start? I've had many over the years. My first online name I decided to make was quite idiotic, but I'll tell you anyway. It was "Alexrecess" based off my first name and my favorite thing at school. :xd: I kept that for a while, and used it on RuneScape. I'm pretty sure I made that up when I was only 7 years old but I don't use it much anymore.

Another one of the usernames I made was for "Pokemon Crater", a Pokemon site that was shut down a while ago. I used the username "You are cool!", for some apparent reason, I guess I'm terrible at making names. Another one I also used on Pokemon Crater was "Alexkazam", based of Alakazam. I never used those, like Alexrecess, ever again.

After a while, I made the username "Pure2range32", on RuneScape, and I used "Pure2Range" on the first forums I joined. The SoulFu Community forums, but I didn't really end up liking that boring name in the outcome either.

My next username I used was on the Egoboo Community Forums, it was "Axel", unlike Axle the Beast's Axle, I put the 'e' before the l. I made it up when drawing robots with my friend, then naming him Axel after rearranging the letters in my name to make it. Oddly enough, there was another user there named the same as me, but we "Max" at the start. Also coincidently, he made it up the same way (by rearranging letters in his name).

Soon, when I restarted playing Artix Entertainment Games, I joined the forums of AE. There I used the username "Avenger of Ice", and had some sort of Frost Dragon avatar. After leaving, my account was pruned.

Finally, I made the alias "ShellShocker", which is from a few things that I love. Overall, I really like that username. Here is how I got it: Since I really love the Pokemon series, the first movie I watched (or one of the first) was the first Pokemon movie: Mewtwo vs. Mew. In the movie, there was a female character who had a Blastoise. I remember her saying "Go, Shell Shocker!". I also got it from playing Mario Party 2, in which one of my favorite mini games in that is "Shell Shocked". Eventually, I started using that as my online alias, but kept it without a space because some online places don't allow spaces.

Today, I continue to use ShellShocker for almost everything. With some exceptions, like PhotoBucket, I use ShellShocker2Range (which is a mixture of Pure2Range and ShellShocker), or in Artix Entertainment's MMO, AQWorlds, I use "Mage of Madness".

arkvoodle
07-06-2009, 12:11 PM
Oh ..well i've had a few alias's over the internet. but i mostly stick with Arkvoodle.
Other names i've used include:
The Dark One
Emporor Menengitus
Flint Cragley
and a few others that i can't remember..

Mandi
07-06-2009, 03:40 PM
I lack creativity when it comes to online aliases. So, I use "Mandi" (my name) pretty much everywhere. I also, use "Mandi151993". My age, and the year I was born :P So yeah...pretty interesting.:rolleyes:

Twili Kid
07-18-2009, 03:51 PM
I dont remeber all of them ( I have way to many) but here are some

Here I'm known as Twili kid for the reason Twili are cool and I'm under 18 years old and Twili anything else doesn't seem right to me.

In MapleStory I am/was known as Legoboy67 for the reason I am a fan of Legos
And when pirates class came out I made a new character CaptCornXP Because Capt relates to pirates and the rest is for a reason I don't know

In Serebii I was known as Lucario+ but I only made one post and the community weirded me out. I really just use the site for game info.

in AQWorlds I go by xdracocasterx for unknown reasons and in the fourms I go by PieDemon for my cliche of loving pie.

My alias is for Perfect World International is xPikaElitex because Pokemon Platnuim just came out and pokemon was on my mind.

On both my Wii and DS settings I am DJ9000. DJ being my initials and 9000 being a cool number

Axle the Beast
07-23-2009, 01:02 AM
I have loads.

Back in the good old days, my username was always "Terrorlord." I occasionally used a few other names, such as "Stinky-Bot78."

Later on I used Axle the Beast, but then started switching like crazy. Azon the Devourer. Dark Rahu. Chaotic Axle. Nightshark. Axle the Magical Zombie.

I finally went back to Axle the Beast, and I've been using it ever since.

Although I still use a couple of crazy names for my characters in online games, such as MMORPGs. Here's some: "Lion-Axe," "Wolfcry," "SkullGlider," "WindyLance," "Burning Axle," "Knightshark."

ForestSheikah
07-29-2009, 10:02 PM
I have several usernames on the internet, each references to something about me or something I like.

Blood Wolf
07-30-2009, 03:28 AM
Hmmmmmmm, let's see. I've got like, over one hundred alias' on an RPG I play online, Salander Pawthorn on almost everywhere I go, Blood-Wolf-Brother on Dev. Art, Midnight Fox on the EDN and HF, Salander Pawthorn on COC *see link in sig for COC*, Midnight Fox for my artists' Forum Board Amaryllis' Blossoming, hmmmmmm, Blood Wolf here. Oh, Silent Whisperer on a Silent Hill Board, Matthew Church on a Silent Hill RPG board, and I believe that's all.

Soa307
08-02-2009, 03:52 PM
My main alias online has been "Akira" for over five years. Problem is, alot of people love that name (it's a well known anime), so it's hard to get the name "Akira" on boards, games, etc.

So one day I had to come up with something else, so "Spirit of Akira" came to be and shortened to "Soa". 307 is my birthday, March 7th. And there you have it, Soa307... Now that I think about it, I should've checked to see if Akira was available haha.

Yoshi_FTW
08-03-2009, 12:07 AM
These have been my only names...Yoshi FTW, ..::[D]rakengarD #Strike (on counter-strike source), and ninjuh quick.

Jayrad
08-03-2009, 05:53 AM
Well, I'm known as Raddy nearly everywhere I've been now, but I have a slight history with Jayrad. It's a special name to me. As is Raddy, but this one seems to be more special.

But, in order from first to last, my names have been:

Radkin: Name of a skin in a game. A newb at the time, and was never good at coming up with names of my own. >_>

VRN|Radkin: VRN being my clan's tag in a game. >_> Yeah, again, I was a newb at the time.

Radkin_Blade

Raddy: Given to me by a friend whom I've had over the Zelda Community for almost three years now, Ti-Link at ZU.

Jayrad: Given to me by an almost completely inactive ZU'er, Dulcie, whom I found one of the most special people I've known, who's been predicted to... pass soon due to issues.

So, yeah... Name's I've used over the Zelda Community over the past near three years. I could tell EVERYTHING I'm called, but that'd techically be spam/off-topic.
