The Cohhilition

It's a play on the superhero Kamala Khan (Ms Marvel). My real name is Cate.

Mine is the combined names of my dogs. Ned ( Brindle coloured English Staffy ) and Bella ( Maltese ). This is my only online name and I've been using it since 2000.

Mine is an inside joke/nickname between me and my best friend from high school. The piggy part came first. it became a nickname for me after she had Spanish homework and she had to translate "pig". I judged her for it and since then she called me piggy. Years later while being roommates I was in the middle of naming a new character in a game and she suggested Mighty Piggy. The name sort of oddly stuck ever since.

When I as younger (and even at time now) when it came to snacks or cakes I would always get doughnuts. At one point a friend shouted out OH MY GOD DOUGHNUT! when they saw me and has just stuck from there.

Longbow was a ship in Wing Commander III wasn't my favorite one, but it worked with an inside joke in HS (Longbow and Shortshaft). Since back in the day you were required to change your AIM screen name every 3 months (you weren't, but everyone did) I used Longbow for one and it stuck. I added the MkII since it fit the universe, other ships were MkV or VII etc..., and adds that needed flair.

Mine is fairly simple. I love the candy bar Twix and I always have. Still do.

so many of you replied, it's awesome! nice to hear where you all got your names too

Oh man. Well mine is kind of a dumb background.

In highschool i started playing Magic the Gathering with a bunch of other guys. One day they decided that we should all have nicknames. During one of the card games, i mimic'd the voice of the family guy pope...after refusing to be called the pope, muffinman was chosen. Muffin is my screen tag, with variations. The current one was chosen for stream name purposes.

It's not dumb, the point of making this thread was so you can clear confusion about your name, I think it's a great story of how you came about it

Oh god, it all started back in '99. My first year of college, and everyone there was using AOL Instant Messenger. So my usual nickname at the time was taken, so I tried a few other things, all those were taken as well. I was starting to get a bit upset, and ended up putting in 'Just Some Geek' because I thought it was a bit funny, and I was getting frustrated. And it took. Since then, it scaled down a bit to JustAGeek, but when I got to Twitch, that was taken as well, so I ended up having to throw the Random in there to keep it somewhat similar.

I like pomegranates.

I SHALL BOOP THIS TO THE TOP OF GENERAL CHATTER!! cohhBoop

Let me reward that boop with a (if rather short) story!

I used to play competitive games alot, and I used to try to get SirKillsAlot, taken after Sir Lancelot from the King Arthur story. But alot of other people wanted that name aswell, and in alot of games it was already taken, so I had to improvise a little bit and came up with this one.

cohhSu cohhBoop A SUPER BOOP!

Mine's an abbreviated form of my last name that people used to call me in school or in sports. Seemed like the natural fit.

Well, my name is Vladimir, and I'm pretty rad, so... :p


JK, it was a combined effort of many people that took hours & hours of brainstorming!

My last names initials Which is Zenonos mixed with Master and my first names initials which is Stefanos cohhT :p
