Tireyo643 was actually a name that I made up for myself to be recognized as by others. A small part of my name is actually in my Giantbomb name, so that is what helped make my Giantbomb name what it is. The numbers don't really mean anything, it's just random numbers I picked out.
 
So people of Giantbomb, how did you come up with your Giantbomb name?

I threw random letters together and added my birthday to the end.
 
 And I've actually come to like Ververdan a bit... it's become my screen name across sites and AIM and email now. Not bad.

It's my internet pseudonym that I have had for almost a decade.  Sometimes I have to dress it up a little when I join older websites due to the high chance of somebody already taking it.  Luckily, I didn't have to worry about that here.

It's probably stupid to ask, but are you a fan of the film? Or a fan of Orson Welles? Or both? Or neither?

17 years ago I drew a little smiling robot that said 'buzz clik'. No idea why it's stuck with me, but I've used it for nearly every online name since.

It's my Xbox 360 GT, which is actually a play on my actual name and another title for the Marvel character "Namor: The Sub-mariner".

That other title is Imperious Rex, btw.

I use this name on practically every sign up on the internet unless someone takes it. I got this name (these are not my initials contrary to popular belief) from an episode of scooby doo where they had a parody of Mr. T in which they named Mr. BLT. He had buns on the side of his head instead of a Mohawk. I thought the name was unique enough, so I stuck with it.

I had to think of a name when the website first launched. Bomb-ombs were video game related, this website has bomb in its name; I put big in the front of it because it was like the websites name and that how I came up with my user name. It was a great idea to me back then, but now it seems kinda stupid.

It's a mixture of my first and last name. It just kinda popped into my head when I was making an account when the site launched.

My username(s) on Gamespot had been TheCritic(random number combo) and I wanted to make things a bit less generic, so I took a generic phrase and put underscores in it, thus making it obviously different and completely unique.

3 random words I just came up with 12 years ago. Been using it since, though I sort of regret it since it's so silly, it's unique though so that must be why I still use it.

I signed up one day one, so I used my name: Brendan.  It's the only time I've ever been apart of a site early enough to do that, so I took my chance.

My username came from a spelling mistake and it ended up the definition of hungry for brunch.

I think I said it in another thread a while ago, but I was looking up the old terminology for diamonds and I was thinking a lot about diamonds and the etymology.  It doesn't fit my personality very well.

I was playing Burnout Paradise when I unlocked a car called the "Turbo Roadster". I really thought it said Turbo Toaster.

I made it up a decade ago while figuring out a name for my pet on neopets.com 
Used it as my alias ever since. 

No, it has no relation to Darth Vader. I did not know about Star Wars at the time.
