That is likely.

Otherwise, this juju2143 nick is over 10 years old, been using it since the early 00's. In short, it's a deformation of my real name together with the first random number I thought of at the time. Actually, not so random, I looked at the 1234 keys on the keyboard and permuted them. Damn, been a while I'm on the Internet.

Or maybe 10 years ago you didn't know how to count from 1 to 4? :trollface:

Mine came from Picasa Web Albums and Gmail. :)
I was playing around with Picasa Web Albums early on and needed to make a nickname. I didn't really care that much, so I put:
bb, my initials,
010, for no particular reason, and
g, for Google.
Then I decided to sign up for Gmail later, and they forced me to pick one of my already created nicknames—they wouldn't even let me cancel and make a new one to use, so I ended up with this. And then I joined Twitter. And then some other sites. And now here I am on Omni!

There's a really old topic floating around, I remember posting in it, when munchor was still called ScoutDavid (a looooooong time ago, I can assure you)
Anyways my name is a mash-up of aetos the Greek word for eagle and TI, which is pretty self explanatory.
Back in the time when i registered I used to play these Farmville like click click build and wait online games, one of them was Icaria iirc. That game had a Greek setting so I looked up a random 'cool' word in a dutch-greek dictionary and found that.
I should write a story about the 4 years I've been hanging around here. I've seen quite a few things already.
:p

My nickname comes from when I was back in middle school and just starting to program for calculators. I wanted a cool-sounding name to put on my programs, and the first word I came up with that I loved was Finale. Then I initially slapped an 83 on the end, since the 83+ was the only calculator I had at the time. Sometime around when I got my 84+ I changed the 83 to a TI, and then sometime after that, I joined UTI as FinaleTI. And I just kinda stuck with the name since.

My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

For me, it was:

5th grade + math nerd + need for an email without numbers = email => username for everything.

Simple as it gets for me, I guess.

Username Origins
« Reply #209 on: June 07, 2014, 11:34:11 am »
How did you come up with your username?


When I signed up for Nickelodeon.com (to play Nicktropolis, that old game on Nick.com), I wrote down all the things that interested me. Outer space (I was 8 at the time, I have more realistic goals now!) was the only one I could think of. So I put Outerme, because that was describing me. Nick.com then recommended I put a "123" in front of it, and so was born "123outerme". Apparently, Nick.com deleted my account. I clicked on "Forgot my Password", and it said that my username was invalid. I definitely remember signing up as 123outerme on Nick.com, though.
