ExistentialGrey89 06 Jan 2017 17:07

Hey, everyone!
This is an interesting topic for any forum-based community or community with an attached forum. Usernames. What does your username mean to you?

For example, my username, ExistentialGrey89, comes from an old philosophical concept which I studied as an early teen. "Grey" comes from a term of yes/no middle ground, and "existential" comes from the idea of existence preceding essence. The combination of these terms is how I feel in life — especially with how much time I spend in a digital reality. Working from home, studying from home, and playing from home all involve the internet now.

So, it's that I feel like I'm in an Existential Grey area of existence/non-existence/digital existence. It's a depressingly comforting concept.

The "89" comes from the fact that I received my first D&D books, PHB/DMG/MM on my birthday that year.

What about yours?

My username, Reverend Fox comes from a few different places. Fox is a nickname I've had since I was a kid and was given to me because I was stealthy and quick. I knew how to get around without being detected and, usually, could get anything for anyone. The Reverend part comes out of the fact that I'm an ordained minister.

I feel this topic is interesting enough to get bumped for visibility so here's a Rod of Resurrection for it.

EDIT: Slight grammar fix. Wireless keyboards at range suck.

To be honest mine is from when me and the Reverend did a lot of geocaching . Geodog is was my nickname for it. Six is just six i honestly have no reason for it except not liking to put numbers in my names and would rather just type it out.
