Classic topic but interesting none the less.
How did you come by your username on the forums and in the game (if it differs).
I have been using Kida for a very long time. The name was taken from Radiohead's fourth album called Kid A. I have always been a great fan of the band and really liked the name. I have sometimes used it as KidA, Kid_A or similar but over time it just became Kida.
The name Kalastus (Kida Kalastus) I use for FFXIV is Finnish and means fishing. I had to come up with a name that went with Kida and I used Google Translate to come up with something relevant. When I found that Kalastus meant fishing I was sold. It fitted really well with Kida and the meaning was perfect as I knew fishing was going to be my main focus in the game.
I know there are many who have similar stories so how did you find your name? |

Richard Preston - The same day i started playing FFXIV i was reading about Billy Preston a famous musician, sometimes called the 5th Beatle. I love his song "Nothing from Nothing" too. My older brother's name is Richard, so that's where I got that from. I did not want a crazy/silly name (see below). Richard Preston kinds of "blends in".
As for this forum, and my name here Stinkywinky, its from the Teletubbies controversy relating to an American preacher saying the purple one was Gay because he is purple and carries a purse. I felt this was absurd, and so I made light of it. My kids watched Teletubbies at the time, i think they are cute, and to think they even have sex is more absurd. So, i was Stinkywinky the brown teletubbie. (Maybe i had too many pints that day, lol) Anyway, had to answer way too many questions in the game, and regretted that name later.
/Cheers, RP

I named my character after the love of my life, my son (Sun), and my last name starts with the letter Z (Zhi).

my ingame name is Drar Origin. I got the Drar from my XI name which was Drargen, but most people just called me drar, and some called me Dr.Argen which used to anoy me. As for Origin, that was the name of my LS that we started at the end of Alpha o.o sadly that LS died long ago, so I hope that they let us change our last names, even if it costs, in which case it will be Drar Satirof. (Satirof is another name i use, generally for a male char, I use Foritas for a female char) As for where Drargen came from, when i was younger (like 7) my mate thought it up, and then he stopped using online games, so i stole it  |

Old thread but still on the front page:
Andycakes was given to me by some people on the internet, they started talking about how I'd taste, and ended on cakes. Long story.
Suddenly Spiders I used because I wanted a name like the Galka in FFXI, and a story I told my girlfriend about when I was younger, about five, I was using my dad's tandy/commodore/oldcomputer/whatever and as I was playing some game's on it, suddenly spiders started coming out of the keyboard. Hundreds of them. So Suddenly Spiders.
