So, what's the history/reason behind your screen name here on EC? Prior to pandamonium, I was snowcone_5. The story behind that: when I joined EC, I was eating a snowcone. I'm not sure where the 5 came from, though... :/
Pandamonium:

I love pandas! And I found it clever to add a punny reference to pandemonium, meaning chaos and disorder (which is what I am!). XD Anyone want to share theirs?

Zach1992 · 12th Jun 2010, 11:17 PM

I know aren't I?

Inhuman · 12th Jun 2010, 11:21 PM

Inhuman: earlier this year I just couldn't relate to anything in any way that anyone felt, and I had repressed my emotions and everything else about em so so so so so so far that I didn't feel anything at all, emotionless, without ambition, apathetic. Not even human. Inhuman.

I suppose a more correct name these days would be ''not inhuman'' . . . as you can see by my screenshot picture thing, I definately don't feel 'Inhuman' these days but the name just sounds nice to me now and I identify with the name even though I don't identify with the meaning

Kupo! · 12th Jun 2010, 11:26 PM

EfinCheese

Efin is for the "cheap" and "lazy" way one of my friends said my name (Ethan)
Cheese- one of my nieces, when asked to say my name, said cheese instead. ever since I have been known as cheese. even Cheesypop =)

EfinCheese was my friends way of being "cute" and it just stuck. I even will answer to cheese

moirai · 12th Jun 2010, 11:27 PM

Well, I used to have a fascination with the concept of fatalism and the Moirai are the The Fates (in Greek). Umm yeah thats about it haha not a whole lot to explain. I actually wrote an essay on them 2 weeks ago with Plato's Republic..

Shevanel · 12th Jun 2010, 11:57 PM

I made a blog post about this :3

12th Jun 2010, 11:58 PM

Aladdin- because 1) He's my favourite Disney character (and the BEST) 2) He's the first Brown/ethnic cartoon character I saw growing up in a world of Caucasian cartoon characters so I really gravitated towards him being Brown myself 3) I looked like him as a child and I guess I still do today 4) He's da SHIT!...and....yea! LOL!

13th Jun 2010, 12:03 AM

It's from something that an old friend said. He would always brag that he called 911 to ask for a chocolate bar... and he got away with it. xD

I love my name. It's simple and (somewhat) unique.

Nomad187 · 13th Jun 2010, 12:12 AM

Well my favourite show is Avatar: The Last Airbender. and Aang is a Nomad. but I can relate because I move around ALOT me and my mom are sorta like modern nomads. and 187 is the date one of my close friends died except with the day first then the month. thats the way he always used to write the date. It helps me remember that I can go anywhere and run from anything except my past.

Tim · 13th Jun 2010, 12:27 AM

Tim - Because my name is Tim :P

My old username was something I came up with a loooooong time ago, in which I got out of "Ami Mizuno" Sailor Mercury's name. :P

Swamp56 · 13th Jun 2010, 12:51 AM

Swamp is a portion of the name of a locale that I used to live in.
The 56 is associated with the number of a street I used to live on.

**Maddy** · 13th Jun 2010, 01:25 AM

Take a wild guess xD

**Ben** · 13th Jun 2010, 01:55 AM

Basically you take my real name:
Ben
As this will be my second name, the theme in building the username will be two.
So firstly you take the second letter in the alphabet — B
Then you take the second vowel — E
But oh dear goodness you still need a third letter to even out the name. So you take the first two vowels and multiply both of them by two (Ax2)=2 (Ex2)=10
If you subtract 10 and 2 from the alphabet (end to front) then the last remaining letter (indicating an end in name construction) is N~*_*

**Gerry** · 13th Jun 2010, 01:58 AM

Nothing creative here, just my name.

x2x2x2x2y2 · 13th Jun 2010, 05:54 AM

Long boring story that contains math. Lol nuff said.

I've actually been thinking bout shortening my name to simply x2y2.

**EM68** · 13th Jun 2010, 06:22 AM

My initials and the year I was born.
