Unoriginal nickname? =D

Post by Erik_Twice »

So, I discovered I'm not the only General_Norris around. In fact, there's a pretty bad one out there that belongs to a fascist board or something :lol:

I'm thinking of changing my username to something cooler that doesn't get me a lot of Chuck Norris jokes

Ever happened to you?

PD: I have an avatar at last! yay!

I have searched for mine but only ever find stuff related to Jet Grind. However, I know that other users must be out there because I often don't get to use this name. Got it on here and the backloggery though, so good enough for me!

I've run into an Ack once while playing Zombie Master on Steam. He'd never seen another one before either. Since then I've seen one other, some guy on a Catholic website. He might have been the guy in the ZM game for all I know.

On twitter some people think I'm Charlotte Ronson. She's in fashion and hangs out with Paris Hilton and her crew. But other than that, I think I'm the only Cronson out there.

All my name is, is my first and last name combined: Chris Johnson.

Ive ran into two other people who uses fastbilly1. One has it on AOL, Skype, and a dozen cycling forums. We use to email back and forth since back in 98 we would get friends contacting the wrong ones of us. In 2006 some Finnish guy started using it on a Call of Duty server. I made sure to join the server once so I could kill myself a few times. The worst part about all this is my name doesnt break down to Billy at all. The name came from an inside joke long ago.

Now as for a new nickname - finding something super unique is hard, but doable. You just have to think of something that sounds like a word or name and google it to see if anyone has used it. For example, my youtube name is Velafrons since I couldnt get any of my other usernames. The Velafrons is a type of dinosaur that was discovered in 2004 in Mexico. If you google it, you find very little about it apart from a few concept drawings and a handful of articles reposting each other. It fit for my tastes and no one else was using it. You should be able to find something like this if you search long enough.

No other people on the net are using YoshiEgg25, so if you search for it, it'll be me. There are users that use YoshiEgg, but if you search for the two, you get this:

YoshiEgg: 27,000 results
"YoshiEgg": 1,710 results
"YoshiEgg25": 13,800 results

I account for over half of all uses of YoshiEgg. Woo!
