What inspired you to choose your name on PMC? Did the name just sound cool to you, or did you get it from somewhere? In my case, I took my name from a game I play with a few other people, sort of like an in-person medieval fantasy roleplay. What about you?

It sort of sounds like my real name...

sort of.

I just put a Z where there should have been an E and an X, cuz it looked cool...

It’s from the name that I almost had, which is from the bible, so yeah.

Zodus.

Created the account for the sole purpose of making a robot for a skin competition. Then it turned into something else.

My Minecraft in-game name...but there's more to it.
I get asked quite a lot about it, and people say "You know, TobyMinecraft is available, still". Well yes, they are right, but I like mine.

"Toby" comes from a music artist I like named "tobyMac".
"Minceraft"...well, some should hopefully know. Minecraft's title screen has a <0.01% chance to switch the "c" and "e", thus Mince-raft...but of course, i have a resourcepack that always has it set to that.

Because of League of Legends and me as a developer. Long time ago (in LoL) i was called Nub Lux, i ended up changing my name to something i regretted, but since name-changing cost in-game currency (and it was definitely not cheap), i didn't wanna go back to Nub Lux, as that would feel like a complete waste of my effort - so I chose Lux Lux, that is my current IGN in league.

I like lowercase letters and I'm a dev, so i settled with luxluxdev being everywhere. I joined this site no longer than 2 months ago, and I chose luxluxdev as my PMC username :)

I chose "craftykids" because that's what my Minecraft username was. :-P The reason I have that as my Minecraft username is that when my mom created the account, she expected it to be used by my siblings as well, and since this was in 2011 I couldn't change the name.

I guess I was going for something cool, so I thought up something, with the name of a character, Nightmare (Though her real name is Nova) from a book series called "Renegades" , and then added "Error" to it, but I didn't add an extra E, because I liked it better. :3

It's actually based off my Minecraft username, NinjaGerbils. I wanted something that would fit me a bit better though. Since I like Star Wars and jerboas are closely related to gerbils, I got the name JediJerboa. I also chose this because I like alliteration.

Ninja is ninja, and laiskiainen is a sloth in Finnish. I've always been huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and for some reason I thought a ninja sloth would be funny. It's even slower and less ninja-like animal than turtles. Also I am lazy, so sloth kind of fits for me.

My original PMC name was actually: Thomas999 – That name appears as me just putting some numbers on the back of my name, but it actually came because I thought that Germans shouting "NEIN!" was funny, and I thought it was the number 9. That's why I made my name: Thomas999 (Thomas NEIN NEIN NEIN!)

TomConn (My current name) is actually just a combo of my first name (Thomas) and last name (Connor) Thomas + Connor = TomConn : D

My first pmc name was Princess_Sophie_300 because my username was megabug300 so I took the 300 from that, then being the cringy child I was and princess Sophie was my Rp persona so yeah, also since technically my first account was just my brother's alt I gave it back to him when I couldn't change my skin because of the legacy account/migraty and I bought my own account Tsgumi xD. but then I discovered ANIME and Kyoko Kirigiri from Danganronpa was such a badass I took her name and then a few years later I shortened it to Kirigiri because it sounded cooler.

My username was inspired by a you tuber I used to watch a while back, Ryguyrocky. He has a role play series in which almost all of the characters have names like Tina the Tiger, or Danny the Duck. I really liked the series at the time and wanted to have a username in a similar sort of format, so I chose Spot the Cheetah. I don't watch the series anymore, but I do still like my username and have shaped a character from my name completely independent of Ryan's series, which I'm proud of.
