How did you invent your name ? Username? Forum Handle?

[Phusician]

Hello all,

Well, I've seen many strange names, and I always when I notice them I think: WTF? (note: this is not negative, I think WTF? quite a lot.) Examples are: Speekerphone, Flamingo with a spoon productions, 17thletterfilms, NaziActionFigure, bubblefax, happyhands man, Flamekebab, and there are many, many more. (note: sorry if I spelled a name wrong, doing this with just my brains.) Well, I'll start with my name: When I was younger, like 9 or so, I wanted to become a photographer and a musician, Phusician came in my thoughts and I thought it sounded cool and since then I use it. :D

thanks, Phusician

[Nonsensical studios]

You didnt mention me?

I have the most Nonsensical Name out there.

Okay, Once I was browsing an online dictionary for school work, and Nonsensical Caught my eye, I loved the way Nonsensical sounded. I immediately created Nonsensical Studios (my other production company was My street name at the time.)

[ciwi286]

One day when I was really young friends and I gave everyone a nickname that was a food and that sounded like their name. Mine was kiwi... and it stuck. Then when I had to choose a screen name for something I made it ciwi because my name starts with a C. the numbers 286 (or 28609 if you know me on some other sites) was just the first recommended screenname since ciwi was apparently taken. Since that I use Ciwi286(09) for everything.

[BinBinProductions]

Its ok NonSensical.

He didnt say my name either. ROFL

I used to eat at a restaraunt, named the Inn Bin. And my grandpa, makes up his own names and words. LOL But he called it Bin Bin's. So i took that name.

[Vaughn Whynot]

mine is my name
no joke

[ciwi286]

Whynot is your second name? Awesome!

[Vaughn Whynot]

yup whynot is my real last name

[speekerphone]

idk

[UndergroundLairProductions]

Well, I came up with mine because I've always had this fascination with scum and villainy in film, and so my name is really in homage to the original Batman series with Adam West. That's why my logo is tilted, similar to all of the villains' 'Underground Lairs' on that show. Besides that, it sounds awesome.

[trspballer7]

well I used to be really into skating (inline roller blading) and the brand of skates I used were TRS alpha 6-s. And then I used to be really into paintballing. so that is the
pballer" part. and 7 is my favorite number, and I usually add that to every name. so that is why it is
"TRS-PBALLER-7"

[toppie34]

toppie34 has a long history because toppie in dutch means the best. So when i started a game toppie was already taken so i just made a number up that was 34 so there it is toppie34. Since then there have been many variations like toppie99 or topie34.

thanks, Phusician

It's my name.

[ClayOgre]

I used to dabble in polymer clay sculpture and jewelery making, and I picked that name for the forum I was on for that.

I hate coming up with names, so I just stuck with it, even when I quit messing with Poly Clay.

[Jcg64]

my initials with a number. boring

[BlazingProductions]

mines cause one day me and my friend were in my dad's car, and i said "hey dad" to get his attention before asking him a question, and he immediately turned around a said "you wanna get high? FLAME ON!" Yes it was a fantastic moment, so we considered making it Flaming productions, but i think you can all guess what that would lead people to believe:geeeee: ... and no I'm not. So we changed it to Blazing Productions.

[Phusician]

toppie34 has a long history because toppie in dutch means the best. So when i started a game toppie was already taken so i just made a number up that was 34 so there it is toppie34. Since then there have been many variations like toppie99 or topie34.

if that's a long history, what's a short one?

wewt, another dutchie :D

[MitchellStafiej]

Mine is the most original because it's my name.

[nooneimportant77]

[happyhands man]

when me and my friends where deciding on what our name should be one of my friends little brother had a little face drawn on his hand and he kept saying it was happy[he was only 3] and he kept asking us if our hands where happy and he was singing "happyhands, happyhands" and we decided that we would be HappyHands Productions.
And another guy in happyhands made this profile for me cause i had broken fingers at the time and i was telling him what to type and for some reason when i said "type happyhands productions for the name" he typed happyhands man

[17thletterfilms]

What's the 17th letter of the alphabet? My favorite letter. It originated with a joke I was trying to play on my sister when she was younger asking if she spelled my name right on a school assignment. I told her that there was a letter at the end of my name that was silent which she had forgotten. The 17th letter of the alphabet. Also, the number 17 has a lot of other value to me for different reasons, which I will not expand upon now.

[Pablo585]

Mine is just my nickname my brother gave me. (except the 585 part)

[KMProductions]

http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/nooneimportant/
What was that?

Anyway.

Me (Kaleb) and my friend (Matthew) both like making movies. So naturally our name was KMProductions (Kaleb Matthew Productions) or KMP for short. When we learned that you need is liscense to use the word "productions" we made it KMPfilms. The KMP is now in honor of our original name.

[Phusician]

http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/nooneimportant/

WTF? My English is not that good, I don't understand it.

[Flamekebab]

Flaming kebab?
*takes offence*

Other wrong versions of my name:

FlameKebab
Flame Kebab
Flame Cake Bob
FlamékébabI can't be bothered to think of any more, but either way, wrong!
"Flamekebab". One word, one capital.

There's no interesting story. I like fire, I always liked the Firebat in Starcraft, back when I went to play on BattleNet many years ago, I needed to choose a handle, so I chose "Flamekebab".

[Apocalypse WOW!]

Hmmm. Well I'm very fascinated about the end of the world, and while I was watching Dr. Strangelove I just thought about how little everyone panicked about the end of the world, and then a bit later i watched Apocalypse Now, and I just thought it up, so now it is my production company name.
yup.

[Kohrsfilms]

Mine is pretty straight forward. My last name is Kohrs and I make films. So it's Kohrs Films. It's not as original as some of the other names on here but I think it has a ring to it.

[smashingrobkins]

Mine came from 'smashing pumpkins' the band..and my name 'Rob' ====Smashingrobkins

[Spleg]

I just liked how it sounded.

Spleg.

Spleeeeeeeg.

[greyroompictures]

The 'grey room' is the brain - and the name speaks of the creative spirit within us all...

erm...

actually...

that's not the real reason I picked it...

...when I finally bagged a room to use for editing, I painted it grey. It was then a simple job of choosing between 'films', 'productions' or 'pictures' to stick on the end. I figured 'pictures' would sound better when said by a husky sounding voiceover man, should I ever make it big ;)...

[snicket]

Well mine is actually off of A Series Of Unfortunate Events..........:)

[Ciaran]

Mine is my real first name. It's an Irish name, prenounced "Kieran".

[Phusician]

What was that?

Do you need a license for productions? WTF?! Is that just in America or all around the world? And why, and who can I ask for a license?

greetings Phusician

[Phusician]

I'll edit it but I think that Flaming Kebab sounds much better

[uhrisuh]

uhrisuh = uh-ris-uh = Arissa get it?

[Phusician]

If you pronounce a as uh, yeah, I do :D

[ugman77]

my last name is ugland, thus me creating ugman, the 77 is just random. 7s are my favorite number to write, its fun to put the line though the middle i guess

[HunnyBunchFilms]

Hunny Bunch Films is the name of our production company. I got the name from "The Simpsons" It was the episode where Grandpa's kidneys burst. When Homer ran away from the surgery he ran into the sea captain. Honey Bunch was written on the side of his boat. I watched that episode on high school and coincidentally the next day a friend of mine says "We need a name" Me and my friends all hung out with each other through all 4 years of high school. He suggested "Little Betty's" after the snack cake(he was a fatass) I said Honey Bunch. We couldn't decide on a name so we remained nameless. I always thought Honey Bunch sounded funny so I kept it and decided to name our "company" that. I'm not sure why I changed the spelling of honey to hunny though.

[trspballer7]

well I named my group "Swine Films" for many reasons:

1. I feel the whole human race are basically swine

2. There is a song by the band "Elysia" called swine, and I love it.

3. I love the book "Animal Farm"

4. I am a vegetarian, and I thought it would be weird to have the name of an animal as my group.

[Serial Chiller]

Serial chiller = someone who chills out at a regular basis

[Phusician]

Mine is my real first name. It's an Irish name, prenounced "Kieran".

Nice name, would've liked it if it was mine :)

[Jelfoss]

Jelfoss is my parent's email address. "Jel" for "John, Elizabeth, Lily", my mom, dad, and sister. Foss is my last name.

[nolan]

Mine is very interesting,probably the most so far.It's my name.

[BRanger62]

My name stands for "Blue Ranger" and 62 was my jersey number.

I played football for a couple of years now and the team came up with a nickname for me because I wore these goggle-like glasses under my helmet. My coach said I looked like a superhero, and then somebody yelled out "The Blue Ranger".

So it stuck for a while. Until it was changed to "The Iron Man".

[Phusician]

Mine is very interesting,probably the most so far.It's my name.

and furiousgeorge?

[drweir]

My name is derived from Sam Neill's character's name in the movie Event Horizon. I'm a super-mondo-gigantic-freako fan of the movie and I can't seem to go a day without bringing it up.

[klick123]

Klick is just *click* with a "K." It sounded cool and looked cool. 123 is there because I like it and it's easier than typing "entertainment".

[b-smitty323]

b-smitty323:

- "B" is from my first name, Brennan.
- "smitty" is from my last name, Smith, and my friends call me Smitty.
- "323" is my birthday, March 23

[A.D.H.D. Prod.]

A.D.H.D. Productions came to me because i have A.D.H.D. so i just added Productions and i get A.D.H.D. Productions

[Ladri.]

I saw Ladri di Biciclette and I thought Ladri sounded awesome so I have used it for a while.

[Dymus-Mantel]

Its My Version of a name in the bible - and the Mantel is from my very first video game

[woodentoe]

My name is derived from Sam Neill's character's name in the movie Event Horizon. I'm a super-mondo-gigantic-freako fan of the movie and I can't seem to go a day without bringing it up.


An "Event Horizon" is when you take a dump so big that it crests over the surface of the water in the toilet. I cracked up when I read that in Maddox's Encyclopedia of Manliness.

[blitzkrieg]

Let's see... my name comes from my time in the Navy. It's a nickname based on my last name and I worked with the "sparks", radiomen. It's all so simple!

[dancingchickenproductions]

In my first film I had a dancing chicken finger puppet.

[Jonny_McBane]

My real name!

[CR-Videos.co.nr]

I came up with Chemical Reaction(Videos,Tutorials) in science.I was trying to think of a name,and my teacher was boring me.Then she said "Chemical Reaction",I looked at my book and it was highlighted so I felt as though it were faith.True story

[atomic9studios]

My original name was First Jet Productions. At the time i wanted to start an airline, but then i wanted to get into real films. I liked the name ATOMICX Studios but it was taken :P

I settled on Atomic9Studios from the Beatles song Revolution 9.

My latest and final incarnation is known as Studio 595.

[KingNikan]

i'm just a big egoistical asshole though generating the King Infront of my name

[TheMightySeamus]

*ahem*
But yeah. Now that I think of it, I could of been SeamusTheMighty.

[NaziActionFigure]

This is my real name.

[evmo]

[edwardlavender]

so one day i was training my friend for a job and we were in the mall in my dads shop.

it being a slow day led us to become insanely bored. we decided to prank phone a lot of the stores around us using one stupid name. then my friend came up with THIS name (edward lavender) as our original name's right hand man.

i thought it was so hilarious. it rolled right off his tongue. an inside joke had grown and soon he became anything we wanted him to be.

now i use him pretty much wherever possible. i use the name in scripts a lot. even if he isn't a character...the name is somewhere.

-zac

[Fisherking]

I pulled it out of my butt.

How it got into my butt, I can't imagine.

[ionfilms]

Me and my friends were sitting at my office desk thinking up names. We had just finished filming a really bad action movie (which we thought was amazing at the time) and we wanted a name for our group. Everyone was coming up with crazy cliche names like High Octane and Adrenaline, so I thought I would contribute with Ionfilms. We all like it and It's been or name every since.

[Miten Soni]

mines just my name, i know creative right?
all though i sometimes use the username insertbandnamehere

[xsanmdanx]

sandman was already taken

[JackLawrence]

I simply put my real name. Because I'm not six years old.

[Wra1th13]

Wraith sounds cool, 13 is an awesome number. As for my film group Rofl films, I'm not sure, we kind of where sitting around and I came up with it.

[Matt Kieley]

It was given to me at birth, by my parents.

[Indymoguler]

well after hours and hours of consideration and looking through different types of names, spending at least a week perfecting the background and meaning of it, i came out with indymoguler.......................i know

[Wra1th13]

well after hours and hours of consideration and looking through different types of names, spending at least a week perfecting the background and meaning of it, i came out with indymoguler.......................i know

Crazy dude.

[RoughSketchPictures]

My name came from how I did my films...for the most part many were done with no script and no planning...all I would use is a "rough sketch" in my mind.

Hence, RoughSketchPictures

[cyrax037]

Mine, well, Cyrax from Mortal Kombat obviously. And 037 is my first name upside down and backwards.:cool:

[Skycarl]

Back in the 90's when I first started flying online at the GameZone
in MS flight sim, and needed a nickname,and because I'm a preacher I wanted
the name "Skypilot". ( slang for army chaplains )
It was taken so I exchanged pilot for my name and have had it ever since.

[Magical Monkey]

My family nickname is "Monkey".
So i added "Magical".
Simple.

[TheMan24]

A while back I was playing the computer game, The Movies. One of the logos was a wave, and I thought of Tidal Wave Films. It stuck ever since.

As for my forum name, many call me Dan the Man, and Jeff Gordon #24 is my favorite NASCAR driver, so TheMan24!

[next-tarantino]

I'm conceited just enough to think this a usable name.

[knightly]

In the late 80's, I was "Black Knight" on the local BBS's (think internet, but much smaller - and using phonelines to dial in slowly, and not downloading anything larger than 1Mb cause it would take more than a day on my super zippy 2400 baud modem). When we moved to the larger "online" world, I signed up on LambdaMOO, Black Knight was already taken, so I became Knightly figuring there were many witty puns in that name.

I'm still on there: telnet lambda.moo.mud.org:8888

it's hosted at Xerox PARC in Palo Alto, CA. Still around, not as flashy as this place though.

[MiniGiant]

MiniGiant-Because I'm young, but I'm old on the inside.
Mudos Mierda Pictures-Mudos Mierda is spanish for dumb shit
Lane Films Ltd-Lane is my name

[1MrPink1]

I always loved Mr.Pink. I always thought it was so ironic. Plus, Quinten, Steve, and Reservoir Dogs are amazing and everything. SO i took Mr.Pink...

[Jakekilgore]

....its my name?

[Mattageddon]

I was part of an online game in which we made a single sentence using as many words from a word bank as possible. The allotted time was an hour. I named myself Mattageddon because I thought it sounded epic. I then became Mattageddon of Polearmia after I had made a fictional place called "Polearmia" from the root word "polearm". I just shortened it to Mattageddon. I got Mattageddon by combining "Matt" and "Armageddon"

[Oetam]

Mateo <> oetaM

[ArtisticProductions]

My handle was the name of my Model-making firm. It has also become the name of my Production Company.

How I came up with the name in the first place is pretty interesting. I was eating fortune cookies, and one cookie had two fortunes. The first one I pulled out, without noticing the second. I ate the cookie, and felt the paper. I pulled what was left of it off my tongue, and only one word was readable: "Artistic"

[CR-Videos.co.nr]

MiniGiant-Because I'm young, but I'm old on the inside.
Mudos Mierda Pictures-Mudos Mierda is spanish for dumb shit
Lane Films Ltd-Lane is my name
You do know LTD is limited and that's a form of copyright.Are your films really copyrighted?They may be but most people don't have their's copyrighted

[Lettuce]

Nickname from years ago, worked from the latter part of my first name cause I don't like being called Vi. One of my friends called me that then other people did, then I was introduced to people as it. My best friend's nickname is Lolly so it was like...Lolly and Lettuce.

I used to be called Purple before that.

[michaelbak]

"Michaelbak"

"Michael" my first name and "Bak" which is the first three letters of my last name.

Michael-Bak
