How did you get your Minecraft name?!

[ElPtricko]

Cool story! And i like your name btw.
My story isnt long at all, its just that my name is Patrick and my second name is Gabriel, so i decided to put them the other way around and just because i wanted to i placed a 7 in the middle. But this wasnt my first name, my first name was Ravnholt2003 or something like that, but i didnt like it, so a year later i changed it to my current name. Thx for reading!

I was twelve.

 

[Proditio]

First and normal name
My story is less interesting but anyways. The time I started getting big into the internet and the wonderful world of new people to scream their opinions into your face I was reading a manga called Alice in the country of hearts. (one of my favorites by the way so if you are into that type of thing you should check it out.) anyways, two of my favorite characters was the Cheshire cat and the door mouse. (I like both these characters in the original and Disney's re-make too but this is where they came from so poop) And thus TheChesireMouse was born. Now yes I know it is spelled wrong, but when I made my first accounts on the interwebs I was 9 at the time and ignoring the "you must have a parent or guardian approve this blah blah blah blah blah" because I was a bad boy and really was too lazy. Due to my age and no older sibling or parent to see me create these accounts, it was spelled wrong and then I was too lazy to fix it.

Originally I went by a shorter version of the name and used "Chess" for some stupid stupid reason. Not until a few years ago did it click that I should go by mouse instead because that is easier and people's first go to.

Extra Name
Recently I needed an alt for quite a few things, the main being a name for a villain on a server story I was helping design. After some thinking, I used the name Proditio which I am super happy with because it just looks nice and just seems a little, un-trustworthy. Proditio is latin for betrayal and sense then any time I have ever needed a second name it is always my go too.

Okay here's my story:

telefoonoplader: (translated: phonecharger) Don't question it, this wasn't actually my account, it was my brother's account. He came up with the name. NOT. ME.
telefoonoplader2: Exploit on a factions server, if you changed your name you could do /reclaim again, giving you alot of stuff :}
telegamer: People called me tele and I didn't really fancy people knowing I was Dutch before I even said something, then added gamer and BOOM! New name.
halloikbenowem: Needed my brother for the security questions/answers. He decided to change my name when he gave me them. I hated my life.
telelag: I was salty about my internet.

 

[Proditio]

I was salty about my internet.

This made me laugh way to much

Let me guess, Sky Broadband?

 

[Grimmay]

Well, it all started off a few years back. I had just bought the PC version of Minecraft, and was deciding on a new name.

On this day, I had had my guitar lesson, and because I was doing well, I was allowed to buy Minecraft. I then thought it was destiny to put the word "Guitar" into my first IGN.

Then, being the young Pleb that I was, decided to think I was cool at playing the guitar, so my name was now "GuitarCool".

Unfortunately that name was taken, so I decided to add a number. I am born on the 30th of October, so I decided to add the number 30 (rest assured I am not 30, I'm 15).

After a while that name got cringy, so I knew it was time for a new one.

Being a teenager, I had (and still have) a fairly Grim mind. I'm sure you could ask @xMegaCoolx or @Perdawdian to confirm that. So therefore, I decided to put "Grim" in my name.

I then thought I needed some kind of combat element in the name, to show off my MLG skillz. I couldn't think of any, so I thought... "I love TNT (from TNT wars), let's be a creeper!". Therefore, my name was "GrimCreeper". Turns out, luckily, that it sounds like Grim Reeper (this was not planned, but I loved it).

"GrimCreeper" was taken, and I did not want a name with numbers. I decided to make myself official! Im not just The GrimCreeper, IM THAT ONE!!!!. Therefore my new name was "ThatGrimCreeper".

I've only had 2 names, but I think I am sticking with this one :).

(Plz no judge autocorrect, typed on meh phone).

 

[Megaaa]

"GuitarCool"

 

[Younisco]

Here we go:

Younis_23_12_ : I used to play MC on a shared account with my brother. My last name is Younis, his lucky number is 23, mine is 12, and we stuck in some underscores because we are edgy.

Younisco : Name of my late grandad's accountancy firm, name on my PSN, just a family-type of thing.

YounTheChive: @Soph heh.

YouNB: The capital N was a typo, but I just kept with it because people thought it meant "You nub".

YounB : I realised "omg, if I decapitalise one letter it comes up with Youn!!! let's do that!".

Younisco (present day) : I wanted to change back. It's a lot more fluent and whatnot. <see original Younisco name change for more details>.

 

[Marieke2001]

Played this game called howrse https://nl.howrse.com/?origin=adwords-hor-nl-06-0002-07-012-05-0716-00
Friend made an account for me. Marieke + birthyear = Marieke2001
End of story. Used the name for literally every game.

 

[#getbarbecued]

Oh I couldn't think of a name that I liked until 2 years ago in August. I even used name generators but I didn't like any of the results. One day I was doing a coop with a friend and I said; Oh that's a pretty dandelion (while laughing) so that clicked to me. I thought that PrettyDandelion would be a cool name. And really it came as a name to take the piss along with my skin. But I didn't think that people would not take it that way...and assume gender. xD
Later on my friend changed his to MrFartyCow (since my skin was a pig he thought of a cow and then the MrFarty was added).

Let me guess, Sky Broadband?

I'm assuming it's a bad internet provider, but they aren't in the Netherlands :P Ziggo is. Yeah Dutch people will know.

 

[Soph]

Removed the 'ie' from my first name and tada

 

[PerryJ]

Why my name is PerryJ? It's simple. When I was your age (let's assume that most peepz here are between 12 - 18 years old) I used to watch Phineas and Ferb. And if you know Phineas and Ferb then u also know that they have a pet named Perry. Perry the platypus. So I was like omg what an awesome character! And believe it or not, the J stands for my real name. So in 2011 when I bought Minecraft PerryJ was born. There you have it. Bye! xD

[Djentism]

Everyone has these amazing stories, I just say the word 'focus' a lot and it is my nickname as well. Also I play a lot of games (which explains my name)

 

[Komodо]

After seeing all those amazing stories, here comes a really basic one...
My favourite animal is a komododragon...
I am born in 2002...
Bye.

I also named myself to DragonInsanity,(and changed it back to komododragon2002, after some time)
Just because I supported @DionInsanity

Still about to change my name to 'Draakje' or something like that.
(komododracula on the forums was just a Halloween joke :p)

 

[Ellie Williams]

My name is an original. I made it up based on myself and used it to express myself too.

So, Cyan and Yellow are 2 of my favorite colors, but they are also 'opposite' colors. Cyan is a much darker color and Yellow is a much lighter color. The meaning behind the name is having two completely different sides. Now, I'm not saying something like, "Don't mess with me or you'll see my other side!" I'm saying it in a more settle and unexpected way.

They're also colors in the printer.
