[dany36]

dany 'cus my name is Daniela and 36 is my favorite number. Original, I know. 

[Member#36]

Let's see:

)Austin: my real name, duh)
)Zien: My ZU/internet name, as well as Zelda Ninja.  Zien is the pronunciation of "ZN", or the first letters of each of the two words as presented in "Zelda Ninja".
)Maximum Pink: If you didn't figure it out already, it's from Kirby: Right Back At Ya's theme song.  It goes well with my username color.

[spoiler]
Long ago and far away, i was playing Super Smash Bros Melee; upon which i saw the system message:

Dr. Mario's In the House! His perscription? KO!

- Source

Well, ever the curious one, i thought it would make sense, that the form the mentioned prescription would take would be of the Pill's that Dr. Mario Throws - hence, the "pill" part.

Pilling on top of that curiosity, what flavor would these pills be? ..... "Tacos"!

I finally put them together / in order when i needed to come up with a new gamer tag to put on my School's 
Gamer's Club Personalized T-Shirts.
[/spoiler]


Not an exciting story i know........but it is one i get asked about when people see the shirt.

[Naesala]

just took it form a bad guy in Battalion Wars 2

[mtn_otter]

I can barely remember.

I think it's because I got my first online account when I was about seven, and I had just visited an aquarium, and was obsessed with the otters there. At the time, my family lived in the California rockies.

It made sense at the time, and I use it(or some variation) almost everywhere.

[FireFly]

I... don't really know, thought it was a good nickname to use on the Internet. I've used it almost exclusively since circa 2004, or the variation "FireyFly" when "FireFly" is already in use. A previous nickname of mine (which I still use in Pokémon contexts, at least sometimes) is "Cyndaquil," due to being my favourite Pokémon.

[Seritinajii]

Seritinajii is a name that I saw on Neopets and thought looked cool, so I used it. ...then later I found out that there is no pet or anything by that name except for the one I made after knowing the name. I was always afraid before finding that out that the previous owner of the name would get angry at me.... but when I search my name, EVERYTHING that comes up is for me.

So where did I get my name? I don't think I'll ever know, but I like to think it came completely from my imagination.

[Matt]

It's my universal nickname. I have everyone call me Matt. It's what I go by. The only people that still use "Matthew" are a few family members.

[Remino52]

I joined another forum, and to be unique, I chose this name. It's stupid and it has no meaning, but I use it for most accounts I have. It'll stick.

[Nickno]

When I was little, family members would say "Nick, no" when I would do something wrong, and they said it so much I thought it was my name, so that's how I got Nickno. lol
I also sometimes go by Ironix, which is the name my character in an abandoned Sprite comic me and my cousin used to make.

[Justin]

I used to be a Matrix whore, so I used Neo on Zelda Universe. Over time, it just stuck, and now it's universal. I just wish the people who knew me would call me "Justin." I'm pointing at YOU, Mases and Steve! >:|

[RAP]

RAP: Simple to say, and nicely short - as in three letters. Fits anywhere. XD

[Level 3]

Level 3 is the default level of a CPU in SSBB and in many other games, and I used this when I needed a nickname for competitive smash, and it kinda just stuck.

[Lazor Shroom Midna Freak]

It's a combination of my NIWA usernames:

Lazor was derived from Metroid Wiki (Zero Lazor)
Shroom was derived from Super Mario Wiki (Pie Shroom, but now I'm Homestar Runner)
Midna was derived from ZeldaWiki.org (Minda of Darkness, I made a typo on the wiki but got it right on the forum)
Freak was derived from my username on the official Super Mario Wiki Forum (Jesus Freak)

Yay for hybrids!

[Blue Ninjakoopa]

Blue Ninjakoopa is the Ninjakoopa garbed in my favorite color, blue, and is seen as an option in one of Chuck Quizmo's quizzes in Paper Mario.

I think the Koopa Bros. are, like, the coolest. Ever.
