    How I got my name: Attack on Titan

    Best username I have ever seen: I don't really memorize other people's usernames unless I have constant interaction with them i.e. HG members but no one here has a standout name

    How i got my name. Well i used to make up weird names likes razorfin or something stupid like that(not saying my current is any better) and i decided to make an officail name. so i decided to pick 3 letters and capitalze them. TZI was what i picked. it progressed to TZIVX. after that i wanted a name that i could say instead of reciting letters. so i added "e" "on" and another "e". It became tezonivex and i liked the look of the original 5 letters remaining capitalized. So now its TeZonIVeX, pronounced "tez" "oni" "Vex" (the oni trips most people up. i use TeZonI ,TeZon, and TeZ but most just call me TeZ or TeZon. ( i just say to call me TeZ). thanks for your time!

    I realized I never responded to this:
    I was playing a sci-fi MMO, and I had to pick an alien sound name. So I reversed my name to Eoj Nawoh. I started using that for Steam since I was tired of my old username. After a bit, I found that it was too easy to find my real name from the original name. Also, there wasn't an easy way to say my name, many couldn't pronounce Eoj or Nawoh, so I changed Nawoh to Charlie. A character I liked from a book.

    That being said, I've been considering a name change, so we'll see.

    I never quite understood how to actually pronounce Eoj, it was a tie between just saying E-O-J or Yoge.

    I actually got my name from my initials, my first name is Tristan and my last in Moran. So I simply used the first letter of each. So original, so creative.

    Just over 7 years ago, I came up with the name 'Taser' for my Pikachu in the Pokémon games. Around that time, I also started my Pokémon page up on Facebook (go check it out y'all - https://www.facebook.com/SoWhatIfIStillPlayPokemon/), and I couldn't think of a pseudonym to use as my page tag. That was until a friend of mine started referring to me with my Pikachu's name, Taser. I've been known to my page, on Steam and to certain friends as Taser ever since then.

    My name is Reggie because my body is always ready for video games. No on a serious note, on July 17th, 2015, Satoru Iwata has passed away. In order to remember his death, I had my name related to Nintendo and the tag 'RIPIWATA'. I only had that tag for a day and removed it a month later. But, it turned out that i kept my Nintendo name and it got stuck to my username on steam. And that Nintendo name was Reggie.
