Well - on my case all come from Three different sources.

Even more, at moment I still am using forcibly TWO names (Sumea being my more widely used interwebz name...)

Well, first the name of "JereTHEend"

Not hard to figure out, it is derived from my first name and added "THEend" to it - I originally made this name up by making own character for THPS3 for PS2, about... TEN years ago? well not quite, but 7 years it was at most. When few years later I found internet and means to be anonymous without being anonymous, I decided to swipe the name quickly and effectively - and used the same name about 2 or three years on internet.

My second name came in after the realization that my name is not as cool as my ten year old self thought back then - Then came in tinkering - My second name of "Sumea" comes from my SECOND first name, and a finnish word - My second name is Samuel - what is with L removed anagram for "Sumea" - And as for Sumea, it means basically "Misty" or "unclear" (sometimes you could refer to guy who seems out of place or little - well UNCLEAR as "That dude is 'sumea'" - Well As I though for myself, that really fits me - I have now used that name at least 3 years.

My avatar at moment comes from infamous imageboard site. on pokemon discussion, it is to my mind a really cool way to have a Pokemon related image, what still is disturbing and makes you think NOT KID oriented stuff - still not being explicit, just really out there.

My signature at moment comes from project I had - It was a stepmania stepping for a chiptune song - I also created real cool banner and background for that song. My signature is that same banner with removed background and added shadow for it and now use it as signature, it's 8bit style and surreal, out of context message really fit for what I do - Would you guessed that I am just recycling work of my own from thing like a STEPMANIA step chart or a chiptune name?

Surprising we don't have one of these yet...

Actually, we do have these kinds of threads in the past. I remember there was one for the username, and maybe another one for the avatar/sig, but none with all three joined together if my memory serves me right.

Username: Thought Domination would be pretty cool.

Avatar: No avatar presently

Sig: My name stylized to look like the Muse logo. I LOVE MUSE!

For some strange reason my nickname at my old work used to be Smuff....
I always liked the song Puff The Magic Dragon when I was little.................

Hence, SmuffTheMagicDragon (and I live "By The Sea")

Pretty lame.

My avatar is the cover of "Staring at the Sea" by The Cure. Great band, great album, Old Man like me.

Username: WyndCrosser is the name I used when playing Diablo/Diablo 2 back in the day. Also, when you use it for more adult websites, like ebay, or whatever it doesn't seem so odd... like DBZVegetoGuy. The Wynd portion comes from a townhouse i lived near, seeing everyday going to school, while the crosser part was for the amazon I played in Diablo 2.

Avatar: Always changes... based on what comic I've been reading, or new artist.

Signature: I love J Scott Campbell's artwork, look his name up.

Username: My username came last year when my friend and I were starting a web comic (which was never made.) It was titled "The Adventures of Sleeve Man and The Gay Boy Bunny." So I used the name The Gay Boy Bunny as a screen name in promotion of the comic, but the comic was never made, but the screen name stayed. Later since I was always called The Cat Boy, a friend of mine retitled the name to The Gay Cat Boy, which I felt was plain, so then I changed it to A Gay Little Cat Boy. After sometime with that one and gaining some unwanted attention from the close minded pricks, I looked up "Screen name Generator" on Google, found one and answered some questions. What came up as one of many screen names was The Pink Cat Boy, which is the one I picked.

Avatar: I needed a new avatar to match my screen name, so I looked up "Neko Boy" on photobucket and one the first page happened to be a pink cat boy. So I sent out a request for someone to make it into an avatar and got that one.

Signature: The same thing as my avatar
