My name is Dac, and "Vak" rhymed.
..when I was 12 and making an AOL username.

Go.

I had a wrestling radio talk show in college and me and my co-hort, the new GAF member MacstarX created the names as monikers for luchadore characters. Total wrestle-nerds. They more or less stuck and I use it for everything.

We initially added the X years ago because you'd be surprised what people have as their usernames....

fake edit: I know it's actually bastardized Spanish.

I have no idea, really. Although I do think that it's based on a line from a song or something.

It means "Fan of Kurt Cobain"
I made it when I was a huge fan of Nirvana and a poor English speaker :lol
I still use it because I like how it sounds.
 
The book "The Painted Bird" which I am sure some of GAF has read made an impression upon me...
(particularly Lekh painting trapped birds and reuniting them with their own kind, only to be pecked to death)
Probably would change this username if I could, but who really cares.
 
Crow Phoenix came about around the time MST3K was ending.

Crow, of course, comes from Crow T. Robot. While Phoenix comes from my desire to see the show feature a rebirth. The fact that the show was reborn in Cinema Titanic, Film Crew, and Riff Trax is an awesome bonus.
 
on another gaming forum i was basicly banned for being too honest. Ofcourse some of the honesty was rude as hell, but honest non the less.

It's a stupid name, and i would never trust anybody with a name like this, but yeah, you can always expect an honest answer from me (when i'm not kidding..).

I thought it was an Ikaruga reference that I'd missed in the game. Durrrr.

First initial, last name and a random age. Was incrementing it since I was 11, but for some reason 16 kinda stuck and it's still there almost 10 years later.
 
During WWII, General George S. Patton's 3rd Army was code named "Lucky", and his "forward" headquarters (near the battlelines, as opposed to being in the rear) was thus known as Lucky Forward.

Well, it's pretty simple. Whenever I played a Mario sports or party game I would choose Luigi. Now when I went to register for the MarioKartDoubleDash forums, I was eating pizza. A Legend was born.
 
I'm not very good at coming up with names, and my previous one was too popular at that point and carried too much baggage, so I just registered with part of the name of my website.

i like that. Online on gaming consoles i always use my real name. On forums i did so in the past. Untill my mom found some of them on google (i also used my last name.. so my full nbame).

I couldn't choose just John, which is the english equivalent of my real name, so i went with Mr. John. Lucky me, i misspelled it. So, here i am, Mr. Jonh.
