Origin of my username...

25.3k TheNightmare811  7.3 years ago

To put it very shortly...

Well, the "Nightmare" originated as a result of needing a shorter version of "Your Worst Nightmare". This was because at the time of creating a name, I was in Primary school and needed a seemingly menacing username for myself every time I joined one of the pupil-created LAN servers on Minecraft Lite V.1.0. (The "Your worst nightmare" was needed because every time someone joined a game, it literally read out onscreen "----- joined the game"). So that was that, and I reused the username many times after, for example- you can find me on Instagram with the name; TheNightmare811

Thanks for reading, and I'd love to hear all of your name origins!

-Oh and watch out for some big changes... (New profile pic and new company name coming soon!)

    @Aspire If mine was my first, I'd be called "ONly 1gb of ram and a thickness larger than that of my arm- Dell Inspiron" XD. I like your name though, simple but unique.

    @stig27 @Aspire Yeah I watched that too. Plus, Schumacher is in a coma so how could he be the Stig? Cool story though, I did think that would be the origin.

    @stig27 is it true that Stig is Michal Schumacher?
    Ive watched the "reveal" episode but not sure if he really is the Stig

    This is my username in... everything I play online or has a community. it came from a Top Gear pilot named The Stig, whose helmet was always on his head. later I found out he was Michael Schumacher.

    Origin of my username:
    Oh bugger I've forgotten the password to my JamesPLANES account! Hmm... I'll rename myself jamesPLANESii.
    I accidentally put a capital Lerner at the start of JamesPLANES, so with jamesPLANESii I got rid of it.
