Hippos are my favorite animal, I even have a hippo necklace I wear everyday so that part was a no brainer. As for the minty part, I had picked it randomly at the time I was making my name but thinking about it now, I AM actually obsessed with all things minty so it kinda makes sense, guess I just did that subconsciously B)

Phoenix = a mystic creature that is reborn from its own ashes plus it's tears can heal wounds

 

So there are two basic reasons...

 

Firstly, I had bad time in the past during my school life from which I wanna "reborn" as a better person

 

Secondly, I want to be a doctor and "heal" people

 

It's quite dramatic though :P

Played Final Fantasy III when I was a little turnip
Saw this ridiculous looking knight which they called an "Onionknight"

HSA stands for Homeslice Alliance - which stems from a "clan" me and 3 friends had.

 

 

I quote clan because all we did was play starcraft and 3-on-1 in free for all to win. we didnt get far.

 

I got xbox live shortly after that time and couldnt think of a better name and it kind of stuck.

 

havent done anything with them since like 2002 so i consider the "clan" dead and buried.

 

My backup name is Jimanji, but im not sure when to convert my entire life to that. Change is scary

Hmm.   I guess one could say that my user name has no thought in it at all.  However, i like to search for names that ppl know but may not choose because they possibly think its already used.  Some name and a series of numbers cant be helped sometimes but I think more common names could be used.  In WOW i used Blu ....   like blucold... someone asked me since everything was blu if i was black.  :)  I chose that name because i played online with my daughter and she choose icefyre.. so just some compliment to that.  I have several other alias that i use on steam games but mostly settled on kooki so more ppl would recognize me.  :)  I hope that the photo i post is recognized as "not really me"  Dk where i got that but have used it for awhile.

Can't believe I didn't see this topic before.  Great stories for where handles came from.  Mine's not that great.

 

Since I was about 8 years old, I loved Spider-man.  I've got a small collection of comics (1500 or so) and several collector's items including my key ring, so I always have something Spider-man on me.  I own my own business and I named it Spyderweb.  I used the y instead of the i just to differentiate between the others using the moniker.  When I started playing COD, I was Spyderman.  When I joined FA, the name was too long with the tags so I shortened it to Spyder and there ya go.
