How did you chosen ₿itcointalk username at the beginning of registrations?

[akamit]

My username is my real name. I always write my name as A.k. Amit unless there is a need to write it in full.

But I really didn't want to have this username here when I signed up in this forum on my first visit on 24th Feb 2016. I actually didn't know at that time that I can have my username in TitleCase or UPPERCASE or something like Bitcoin World (with space) or in a fancy way. I thought that it should be in lowercase with no spaces and special characters, the same as elsewhere in most sites at that time and it was very common.

[Diced90]

Since this is for fun only, I wonder why it isnt int the offtopic board?
Anyways my name diced90 was actually the common password I used for many gambling portals. I have changed my password a long time ago so you need not try to hack me. Besides no one knows my email haha.

[LTU_btc]

Interesting question. When I joined Bitcointalk, I was struggling to choose my username. I wanted to have cool username which would be easy to remember. But I didn't wanted to use my nickname which I use on other forums, because I wanted some privacy and I wanted to separate my crypto activities from my other hobbies.
I decided to use "LTU", what is abbrevation of my country Lithuania. I wanted to show that there is some crypto enthusiasts from my country. And then I just added "btc" to my nickname. But some people here call me just LTU. I don't use this username anywhere else, except few other crypto forums.
But if I would sign up on Bitcointalk now, I'm not sure that I would pick same nickname.

[o_e_l_e_o]

"Leo" from "Leopold von Sacher-Masoch", whom Masochism is named after. The preceeding "O" and "E" are the sounds I make whilst participant in said masochism in Foxpup's dungeon. The palindrone effect just rounds it all off nicely.

Or maybe it's because my real name is Leo (or is it?), and I just wanted to cause maximum annoyance to anyone who has to type my name out by hand.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

CryptopreneurBrainboss: I'm popular know as brainboss among my peer then after my involvement in bitcoin back in 2015 after I started advocating for my peers to invest in the technology, I got referred to as a Cryptopreneur. Since most of those which I introduced were my friends and they already know me as Brainboss the name CryptopreneurBrainboss was then introduced when we're discussing issues relating to cryptocurrency but on a normal day, I still get referred to as Brainboss.

Fast forward to 2017, when I got to know about the forum after I picked interest in increasing my knowledge on the technology plus earning additional income that doesn't involve me investing personal funds, I decide to go with the username CryptopreneurBrainboss since I was already used to been referred to by that nickname when I'm associating with fellow like-minded cryptocurrency enthusiast (discussing cryptocurrency).

[terizla]

Mobile Legends player maybe know where i get my username  

I'm not good or pro in Mobile Legends but, only terizla i can play it  

[ryzaadit]

-snip-

I know this.

The recovery team did this, but they change a name with a random name. Since he will not use the account anymore, the recovery team accept his request to change the username and locked the account.

[Foxpup]

I just wanted to cause maximum annoyance to anyone who has to type my name out by hand.

Yeah, who do you think you're fooling with that masochism story? You're a sadist and I love it.

As for me...

I am a fox, and like most foxes, but unlike most humans, I have never felt the urge to "grow up", which as far as we foxes can tell is an excuse humans use to stop being curious about their world, to stop learning, and to stop trying to improve themselves in any way. In doing so, humans often lose what little wisdom they may have possessed and lose sight of the true purpose of their existence. Only by maintaining a youthful outlook on life while never wavering in the application of one's intelligence can one truly achieve one's full potential. This comes naturally to the fox, who realises that no matter how old he is in years, he will always be a pup.

Actually the truth is far less profound. I've been using this name online ever since "being online" meant racking up a huge phone bill with a 56k modem. The fact that I can speak of such things demonstrates that I am obviously no longer a pup, but names are sticky.

[philipma1957]

my ebay name is philipma1957

i had a good rep on ebay so carried the name

to macrumors
to anandtech
to bitcointalk.


I would love ❤️ change the name, but I won’t.

[acroman08]

the acro in my username is a root word and is incorporated in a large variety of words(link for reference) and what I like about it
is, the word acro itself means is pointed, first or high, or something like that. I've been using this username for 11 years now. I first
used it on a game called cabal(yes, the cabal mentioned by cabalism).

[LogitechMouse]

I will make it short .

Choosing username to use in any website that I registered on is very hard to be honest as a gamer. It took me around 1-2 hours to think of my IGN in different games I played.

The first part is just useless . How did I choose my username. The Brand of the Mouse I'm using right now

[Initscri]

I was working on a script (coding/python) for a client at the time. One of the comments on the script had the word initiate in it, and since I was work on a script, hence the name Initscri was born.

Really means nothing more than that.

[Daniel91]

First part of my username is similar to my real name and also have interesting meaning in Hebrew language 😁
91 is connected with 1991 very important year in my life and life changing experience I had.

[YOSHIE]

"Don't Lie"

My life is familiar with the words of YOSHIE, my country used to be invaded by Japan, a lot of where I live, of Japanese descent, some live in Indonesia, Singapore and some return to Japan.

YOSHIE, a name in my family, means: (beautiful river), comes from the name of my grandmother, who came from Japan, and now died a long time ago, Honestly.

When I was in the Bitcointalk Forum, I saw in the Forum too many animal names, the universe etc, lying.

Then it crossed my mind why I, not only gave my surname here that had been lost to commemorate him, what else the bitcointalk forum was created by Japanese.
which also lives the name that can be perpetuated, the person also disappears do not know where.

So the name Yoshie was born. Which is remembered and perpetuated by his grandson.
It seems, I am too honest. Lol

[SFR10]

Assman and tittyman were already taken - so went with T(itty)Man instead

I used to be a WarRock player ^{[an online FPS game, played one of its local versions]}, top 3 ^{[not in terms of skills, only my rank]} to be exact ^{[late 2007 to 2010ish]} and this was my name back then ^{[taken from my whole name]}.

[Laskoo]

For me is a nickname I use on a game I played long time ago (LineageII) and I also used it on here just because it was available, I really didn't thought about it very much back in the days. At the origins: I took my name and englished it a bit to fit better in the online space where the predominant language is English.

[gentlemand]

I put zero effort or thought into mine. I typed the first thing that occurred to me. At least I don't use it anywhere else.

If I'd known what a fixture I'd become I would've preferred to have spent some time thinking it over. Perhaps PinkPanties or Big Glenda.

[Lucius]

My name on the forum is inspired by a true Roman soldier, centurion Lucius Vorenus who was a member of the famous XI Legion (Legio undecima Claudia) formed by Julius Caesar to invade Gallia in 58 BC. He became known for his courage along with his friend Titus Pullo, and it was mentioned in Julius Caesar Commentāriī dē Bellō Gallicō.

Based on these events, a series called Rome was filmed and it was one of the most-watched series with very high ratings (8.7 from 10).

[ibminer]

I think mine is self explanatory?    It was ultimately the first thing that came to my head when I signed up and revolved around what I was doing.. mining.

I'd also like to take this time to speculate that theymos picked his name because he likes the months with Y in it! (January, February, July, May). The Y Months(mos). Maybe he just likes winter, summer, and spring?     Ya know, Bitcoin was released in January!.. fiscal year begins in July... it all makes sense. lol  

[libert19]

I made a thread on this but it didn't get much traction.

GTA 3 Liberty city was the first video game I played on PC. I was registering for some Indian forum, it asked me to setup username, my enlightened brain removed 'y' and choose username as 'libert', because liberty sounds like female name and I am male.

...and it has been my online alias ever since.

Then how come it's libert19? You might wonder.

I had account named 'libert' here but it got hacked in infamous bitcointalk hack and since it didn't have much activity I didn't bother to recover it and created new one. As I read some numerology, it said 1 and 9 numbers are good for me. So I settled with 'libert19'.
