I can't remember exactly, but I think I stole it off someone else, actually. I don't use it anywhere else.
This is a pretty interesting thread.

Really liked Super Mario RPG. Decided to name myself on an enemy called Smilax! Cuz you know, it's awesome and such.

was massively into the Lord of the Rings books, parents got the internet, heard about the movies, searched the net for every bit of information i could find about their production, stumbled upon theonering.net, joined their IRC, needed to choose a name, Gandalf was my favourite character, name was already taken and so was Stormcrow (another name for Gandalf), contracted it to S-Crow, decided i didn't like punctuation in my name, changed it to Scrow.

this is all us plebeians can ever hope for
I have always found it odd that so many people on Gaf hate me.
I am a pretty nice guy.

I'm just as much of a bastard as he is, if I were a gargoyle, I too would just hang around, sitting on skulls and fly into people who annoy me. With that said, I too like having scantily clad men around me. :>
To be honest with you I liked the first Sean better.

His avatar is lackluster.
It was of a dust mite...the worst of the arachnids.

I beg to differ.
Name a worse one.

In dark age of Camelot (daoc) I was in a guild called LARFO and everyone in the guild had a name like Garfo, Varfo etc...
I just kept it from there on

Those clans are the best. I was in a Quake 3-clan, I forgot the name, but it started with "Co-", and all of the members had names that started with "Co", so there were Conjurer, Cosinus, Cooperator, etc. I was Countess, cause they thought I was a girl, haha.
I don't mind them.

In the vein of metal gear solid characters if I recall correctly. I think I was playing lots of MGS when I came up with it.

Went through a big classic rock phase in high school, liked van halen enough to make a youtube account with a username similar to this one. The name stuck with me, so I kept it.

I had my name as a user name by mistake. I asked mod to change it something and suggested few names I think. This was chosen. Nothing particular about it.

Was signing up for IM or something about 8 years ago and didn't like the username I was using at the time so I was looking to get something else and no matter what I tried to use it was already taken so I mashed the keyboard in frustration and 'maklershed' popped up and I thought it sounded like it could mean something so I went with it.

It has something to do with "The cake is a lie" reference.
I've always announced it dynasty. I just assumed there was a 'dynasty' already.

It was the first time I ever made an online name for myself, and I loved dragons... I wanted "dragon" in there somewhere, but didn't know what to add to it. "Life" popped into my head, and it seemed like a good fit, if only because saying "dragonlife" was smooth. My name actually made no sense, but I liked how it sounded. If dragonlife is taken, I will use dragonlife29.
I used to be a massive X-files fan, like nutjob case fan.
back when I first got online on dial up in about 1998 I used to run by "M.F. Luder" an anagram Fox Mulder used to use on the X-files. I'm not sure what prompted the change but in about 1999 I changed to Wetwired, one of my favourite episode names at the time.
Turns out the word actually originated from a william gibson novel and basically means to plug your brain into a computer, matrix style, which I also loved when it came out and it even inspired me to take up a hobby which I've now been doing for 11 years professionally.
