Username origins thread

[Saikyoshi]

I came up with it on the fly. I wanted to break away from my normal go-to username.

Saikyo: The martial arts school of Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter.
Yoshi: The one main I keep coming back to no matter how much I experiment.

And I kept it because everyone kept reading it wrong, and "Saik" (pronounced either Psych, Sake, Seck, or Sai-Yik; I haven't decided yet, but probably not the last one.) sounded like a good name for the individual Yoshi I play as. I'd been looking for one for a while.

The Cult of Skaro designated this name for me.

 

[RomanCenturionX]

Roman - my father's mother's side is off the boat from Italy so I wanted to rep my Italian heritage

Centurion - A high ranking soldier in the Roman army. I play FPS' competitively so it made the most sense.

X - Roman numeral for 10, XBox Live only allowed 21 characters so I couldn't put 28 next to my name since it is my number in hockey, football, and lacrosse so I just combined the two.

Saikyou (最強) means strongest in Japanese, so it's sort of a neat portmanteau.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that!

Yup, this is definitely a keeper.
