Smash Names

[Pi]

I was just wondering how everyone got their melee nicknames, or aliases. I've come across some pretty interesting ones, and it would be really cool to know how they were started. I got mine from a school play, I played Ulysses. I'm not sure if there has already been a thread like this, its just really interesting in my opinion.

cool thread ulyssesthetrojan
i too am interested in peoples smash names
and not in kanes 11 inch ****

 

[Melomaniacal]

I only feel the need to explain my name because I feel like most people assume it's some kind of oxymoron (mellow + maniacal). Well, it isn't.

melo·ma·nia definition
Pronunciation: /ˌmel-ō-ˈmā-nē-ə/
Function: n
: an inordinate liking for music or melody : excessive or abnormal attraction to music

 

[trahhSTEEZY]

it's a spelled out version of saying half of my first name, travis. apparently it's pretty catchy or some **** cause throughout highschool people would yell TRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH from across the courtyard like it's some sort of mating call

oh and i'm steezy 8]

 

[Geist]

First records of blowtoes I have are in pokemon Blue. I'm not sure when I first started using it, or why.
I hate it now, and usually don't go by this name anywhere but smashboards.

EDIT: just noticed the other thread lol
...
oh well

 

[choknater]

choknat = filipino pronunciation of "choc - nut" a chocolate nut snack in the philippines

choknat was the name of our dog in the philippines when i was very young

Choknat57 was my first AOL sn (kids only account, too good!)

my cousin called me 'choknater' one time and it stuck since then

[EPsilon933]

UsurperKingZant

On June 26, 2007 I made my youtube account and I wanted to make a name that showed my fandom for the Zelda franchise. The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess was one of my favorite games at the time, so I named my channel after one of the main characters in the game, Usurper King Zant.

EPsilon933

The name "Epsilon" first came from an ign article about Halo 3 Epsilon. It was Halo 3 in it's final version of testing that some hackers got a chance to play before getting banned. I liked the name 'Epsilon' so I made that my gamertag. This was back in late Summer 2007 when I was into playing Halo PC. Then in Winter of 2007/2008, I played Crysis online and wanted to use 'Epsilon' as my tag, but someone else already took it. So then I just added '933' to the end of my name. I kind of copied Gimpyfish62 with the numbers part. 933 was chosen because my laptop's cpu clock speed was set to 2,933 MHz. The 'P' is capitalized because I have a habit of holding down the shift key long enough to accidentally capitalize the first two letters when capitalizing a name or whatever.

EPsilon

At herb 3, I over heard a conversation about how someone hates names with numbers in them. As time passed, I eventually started hating the '933' in my name.

Espeon

I just realized

that epsilon is espeon

and umbreon is well....


if this was done on purpose

kudos

if it wasnt

there maybe hope for zelda yet! :D

Espeon was my Smashboards avatar. 'Epsilon' sounds kind of like 'Espeon'. Umbreon has one of the best Zeldas. I mained Zelda. That's really the logic on why I wanted to used the tag 'Espeon'. I've had espeon as my Smashboards avatar since spring this year. But the tag 'Espeon' was really short lived.

EPsilonZant

Shortly before Apex 2010, I registered online with the name 'EPsilonZant'. I'm known locally as 'Epsilon' and on youtube as 'UsurperKingZant', so I just combined the two to get that name.

UsurperKingZant

After Apex 2010, my reputation on youtube far outweighed any reputation as Epsilon (any variant), so I bought a premium account and changed my name to my youtube name.

 

[j00t]

My initials are JWT

Someone gave me the nickname jewt because JWT took to long to say

then I renamed myself to j00t

all is good with the world

 

[ryuu seika]

Dragon obsession. Plus four letters, yay! Oh, and the second "u" makes a hardly noticeable pronunciation difference that stops me being a streetfighter character.

 

[Andymosity]

Andy + animosity = Andymosity

 

[Jonas]

My real name. It has nothing to do with Weezer or the Jonas Brothers
Also it's really pronounced with a "soft" J (kinda like a Y) and not the "hard" one that sounds like it starts with a D.

 

[TheLake]

I drowned my kid in a lake

her name was zelda

:D

 

[KirbyKaze]

another name for kirby's suicide ko

 

[Beat!]

My name is a well-known term in competitive Yu-gi-oh, which I have played since 2006.

Though I nick "Beat" on most places nowadays, and that's what most of my friends call me. If I ever get a premium account, I might change it here too lol.

 

[Keblerelf]

My smashboards account name came from an inside joke between a friend and me.


My tag, Mr. F, comes from Arrested Development.

And my first name is frank, so it kind of works out.

 

[t3h Icy]

I used to use "Ice24" when I thought it was awesome when I was 13.

Then I used "Ice", but I'd get confused with random people all the time in all sorts of games.

So then I changed it to "t3h Icy", with the first half only as a way to distinguish from other Icys.

It's painfully awkward when people say things like "Sup t3h Icy".

 

[DippnDots]

man who else remembers when slate warrior and berserk gorilla were good?

or seven coloured fish?

MECHANICAL CHASER

 

[Rostigalen]

KK, you should look up YGOTAS - Yu-gi-oh the abridges series. Made of win.

Oh, there's also YGOTAM - the abridged movie. Also pretty solid.

(rostigalen is just something I made up when I was 12, it doesn't mean anything at all - the tag I use nowadays, Isa, is a shortening people started to make at a community where I had registered as isawithappen)

[Shoopman]

This guy was the **** back in the day.

On topic: One day I decided to try out the free trial of WoW. Thinking I would just play it for a day and never again, I wanted to give my character a stupid and ridiculous named, and shoop da whoop popped into my head. Turned out that I liked the game and people started calling me shoop which I kinda liked, so I chose it as my smash tag.

 

[AXE 09]

Long story short, deodorant.

09 is my high school graduation year.

[Beat!]

Wow, quite a lot of YGO-players .

YGO is all about archetypes nowadays, unless you're playing antimeta or Absolute Zero. Still pretty fun tho' .

Bazoo used to be badass.

 

[j3ly]

a number plate reading j33lly opposite my road

smash wouldent allow the letters, so i shortened it to j3ly

over time im preferring Jely, and nobody bothers to type out j3ly on the boards or in vids =/

love the name, have no qualms with people calling me J3ly in public. i think i prefer it to adam

 

[ynnek123]

Dark armed dragon ruined everything.. from then on the game started getting alot worse

and its just my name backwards with 123 behind it lol

 

[dmac]

dmac, it got so popular they even named a dance after me(youtube it), and some brawl player in washington liked it so much he also named himself after me

okay maybe its just too easy of a name and coincidences happened

used to be deathmachine (hey, i was 12) then shortened it before my smashboards account to something less idiot sounding
