    Mine stems back around 25 years ago whilst I was at college (a quarter of a century - that make me feel old!) We had a Dungeons and Dragons club (I've forgotten how to play now), and we had to draw names for our characters out of the proverbial hat. The name I drew was Dwarf, and I've used it ever since. Just as well that I didn't draw out Fairy!

    I use MR GRiM on nearly all Sites and for my game Tags now, it started with COD4 and now I use it everywhere or slight variations if someone else has already pinched it, my older user name was just my initials and the 3 first letters of my last name being God (Goddard).

    Mine are similar, depending on the site. I was born in 1969 so you can guess how the username is made up.

    I just use my name I could never think of anything when it came to registering so thought well I've had this one for long enough so why not stick with it, at least I don't forget it

    Well I'm a goldsmith and the url of my website is garysgold.com. So that's where it comes from. I use the same one everywhere as I got tired of having to look up one for a site I haven't been to in a bit.

    I use Ex_Brit for many websites and it means exactly what it says. I was born in the UK and live in Canada. I keep both passports though - so in a sense, I'm not an ex brit at all.
