    I saw a couple of usernames beginning with Master like Master_Salty and MASTER_OBI-DAN. So I put Master and Y-wing together and walla!

    My user name for some other places is Aquaeyes, because I have aqua eyes.
    Shasa is "peaceful water" in Africa. (I checked an online baby names book)
    Aquawalker just didn't go together.
    Sooo.
    Shasa Waterwalker I became.
    Kinda has a Star Wars feel to it.

    Ok,here's the story behind my name,

    The first part's simple,My favorite character is Obi-wan so that's where OBI comes from (Like nobody could guess that 8-}) and I wanted something unique,and I like how the official name for vaders TIE fighter is TIE Advanced X1

    So,OBI -Wan + Vader's Tie Advanced X1 = OBIX1


    :D :cool:

    Lets see here.
    Darth as in the Sith title since I find them quite more interesting then the Jedi.
    Lazious I used to wanna be called Lazarus but I thought I spelled it right but it ended as Darth Lazious.
    So over eighty five websites including my own I go by the name Darth Lazious.

    One of the greatest (pc)games ever is X-Wing. I can't even begin to imagine how many flight hours I have in the Incom T65 C-a2. Although I also love to fly the A-Wing, it's the T65 that combines the strength of an Y-Wing and the speed of the A-Wing. So, coming up with a user name was quite easy.

    A friend of mine was playing a wookie on Galaxies when it first came out...all he really wanted to do was get in a fight with someone right away...when he tried picking a fight with some humans one of them called him a "bad wookie"...I just thought it was funny for some reason and randomly decided to add an extra "d" to the "bad" so that I'm just a little badder than bad

    Well I think bounty hunters are just the coolest and I wanted to think of something about them. I also think Twi'leks are cool so some of my original ideas were:
    Twi'lek_bountyhunter (too boring/obvious)
    charactername_the_bountyhunter (I couldn't think of a name that fast, though)
    Bountyhunter_from_Ryloth (too long and I didn't like the way it sounded)
    so I kinda combined them all! :)

    I don't know if I mentioned it, but my name is a variation on Mr. Sinister of X-Men fame.

    Lorax is my nickname in real life because I used to go about spouting lines from Dr. Suess' book The Lorax when I was little.
     
  20. Commander-DWH

    Okay, mine comes in two parts. Commander, because there are certainly enough Jedi in the forum world, and for some bizarre reason, I wanted my username to sound sufficiently starwars-y.

    DWH- shortened form of my usual username, downwithhydrogen. Hydrogen breaks all the rules, thus my chemistry class my junior year of high school kicked it out of the periodic table. But DWH is infinitely more simple to type.

    I happen to be a big fan of Gamorreans, so the reasoning for my user name should be slightly obvious. But I also named one of my favorite RPG characters, a Gamorrean, as Grunt. I happened to be thinking of him when I signed up, so it added a little extra special spice for me.

    Grunt.

    [face_shocked] You are? I would've thought opposite...oh, now I'm embarassed... [face_blush]

    Thats not the first time I've made that mistake! 8-}

    Oh, I must appologize then, I've made that same mistake with poor ol' lexu, however reversed. She was nice enough to let me know, and forgave me afterwards 8-} .

    Many user names now and then are hard to tell their true gender...sorry agian... :(
