What does your username mean?

Honestly, nothing. I just made it up without thinking. I feel like it just flows well. I dunno. I don't put much thought into usernames these days.

I think yours matches your avatar perfectly.

It's like you dove into a pool of whiskey and suddenly realized it was a horrible idea.

Ok. My curiosity got the better of me and I don't want to Google it. What genre are we talking about here?

Lol.

It's anime cuckold porn called netorare (NTR) which often times goes out of its way to show the guy getting cheated on, and having the audience sympathize with him.

well as a native french canadian person, composite name are a thing, Jean-Luc being one , most often they begin by Jean, Louis, Pierre, or Charles being the most common for man , Marie, or Anne for girls. EX: Jean-paul, Louis-Philippe, Pierre-Yves, Charles-Henry, Marie-Claude, Anne-Marie. I guess they are akin to Tommy-Lee and such in english.
As a kid watching star trek [in english] I always heard Jean-Luc, Maybe I've been wrong the whole time tho
 
It's a dairy product from iceland that is similar to what americans know as greek yogurt.

Why?
I love to eat it and I like Iceland. It looks so beautiful there and I would love to visit it someday.
 
My name is character name I used a lot when playing Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3. It´s a paraphrase of "hairy tongue".
 
In the Marines from 2005 to 2009. Mounties is short for Mountaineers. WVU is my college team.

My ex wife actually picked it when I needed a name for Rivals.com which is a college recruiting site. She said she likes it because it was two M's. I just stuck with it for everything.
 
I needed a username for battle.net to play diablo 2 online. Everything else I could think of was already taken, so I took a few random letters and put some a's, i's and e's in between until it sounded like a fantasy name. Job done.

Sounds like something from Elder Scrolls! It works.
 
I created this username when I was a sophomore in high school about 14 years ago. AIM was still a thing and I wanted a username without numbers. "Raptor" was taken so I decided to create something more unique. I just thought "Raptomex" sounded cool. Been using it ever since.
 
At fist you'd think my nickname is "thief" and a number added to make it usable.... but actually it is something different.

Ages ago I used to be playing a lot of thief the dark project and at the same time I started playing "la quarta profezia" a very old mmorpg (and also a very bad one), all nicknames were taken so I smashed my keyboard in a rage act and that's it... thief183 .....my preferred game ever, and my year of birth.... I took that as a sign :)
 
Kyan Red-axe was a border ranger in an old Dragonlance novel Stormblade... minor character on barely a couple pages. Died and was a catalyst for the start of the story.

Mehwulfe.... name made up, came from the Wulfholdes, which were a mountain range in the old old D&D (not AD&D... but classic D&D) novels from the Penhaligon trilogy (and campaign), specifically featured [for me at least] in the first The Tainted Sword novel. It's also where I think the Larry Elmore painting The Bloodstone Lands was set (it was a two-page art piece in the novel, but also the cover art for the classic SSI goldbox PC game Secret of the Silver Blades.

Worked both into the store of story of Kyan Mehwulfe, the Red-axe Grim, the Red-axe Lynx, of Fort Huntusk, from the Nes'Gwenth Mountains and the Red-axe Pines... a forest that would make axes bleed.

Basically, nerd headcanon for my MMO persona based on growing up around D&D haha.

Been building and refining the 'story' for 20 years now tho o.0 still the only 'story' I ever use for pretty much any no-default no-canon-main create-a-character RPG.
 
Easter egg in Dutch. Thought of it cause of my last name being somewhat similar/same theme. Also fits seeing it is a term used in games.
 
Ukrainian vodka. I sometimes buy a bottle when I go there (quite a few times over the last ten years).

My real name is Dan. When I was little a friend's dad always called me Dan Druff. Many many many years later when I first went online in the mid 1990s and started registering at BBSs and message boards I needed a handle so I used variants of Dan Druff. About a year before Star Wars Ep I released, the first photos from the set leaked, and I saw the first picture of a young Obi-Wan. For a while I changed to Obi-Druff. Then the first photo of Darth Maul got out, and it was love at first sight. I started using Druff Maul. When I registered at GAF I had to make it Druffmaul. Something happened to that account, something stupid and draconian, so I became Muffdraul and nobody was ever the wiser. Until I posted in a "What does your handle mean?" thread, like this. This is probably like the 10th time I've told this story, which is stupendously fascinating to literally everyone who reads it.

I like mustard.

But, when I was a kid my friend introduced me to Final Fantasy Tactics. For some reason I had difficulty pronouncing Mustadio, so I jokingly called him the mustard man. And here we are.

Your friends Dad? He gave you scars for life!
 
Nothing much, really. I needed to replace my old user name, so I did a quick run through of an online thesaurus, following a couple of associations, and when I saw "humdinger," it made me smile. It had a funny sound, I liked the old-fashioned quality of it, and the connotations seem positive. That was good enough for me. I didn't want to obsess to long about it.
 
It's my name in a parallel universe if I grew up to be Indian and the avatar is Dragonball Z superstar Frieza in his best form.
