I honestly don't remember, but it sounds adorable and painful at the same time.

TheEnigmaticT: Your name clearly comes from your habit of donating Windows ME to people.
Now it makes sense.

I'm going to guess it comes from.. some random comment a friend made while you were playing a game.

Or the voice inside your head :P

My friend was writing a story and there were two characters that, despite trying to kill each other, had a mutual respect. One of them was based on him and the other was based on me. I adopted the name of "my" character :)

StingingVelvet: Neko Case song.
So your Nickname should be "PrisonGirls" ;-)
I'm from Alaska, and I do stuff with Water... :)
I think I was watching a Jays game...
Character from Wing Commander 3/4. It's a cool name.
Porn name @ Paingiver

My name is obviously inspired by Lord of the Rings, the 15 being my favorite number and the age I signed as when I joined this site.

My name is CymTyr = Cym represents Wales because I'm part Welsh, and Tyr is a Nordic/Germanic god that stands for war, justice, and male sexuality. Oh yeah, Tyr is rumored to be the original God that Odin turned into.

My translations is CymTyr = Welsh Warrior.

-Cym
I came up with mine when i was in middle school. (A long time ago...)
I imagined that instead of a turtle, Bowser was a cat. So naturally his name was MEOWser... hahaha
You're a massive fan of Macgyver, but then experienced the Lateral Cranial Impact Enhancer, and have since never been able to spell his name.

Oh, my nickname is just a random collection of characters when I mashed the keyboard. Nothing more.

My name is Daniel, but used to get Danny from most people. When I went to uni one of the first friends I made was a Girl named Danielle who seemed to go by Danni. As both Danny and Danni are pronounced the same way it got confusing. To avoid that confusion people started calling me HeDanny, and her SheDanni.

HeDanny stuck with me and is the main handle I use all over the intarwebs, but I also use GuruCow in some places as that was my irl nicname long before I went to uni. I have no idea where that came from. Mates just started calling me that (mostly shortened to either just guru or Cow) and it never occurred to me to mind.
When I used to enter my initials into arcade games, I wouldn't use my middle initial (because it's dumb). Almost all arcade game scoreboards use three-letter initial entries, so I was usually left with a dash placeholder before hitting end, hence "EC-"

As to the giveaway, I bet your name is a Babylon 5 reference.
You're an anesthesiologist being ironic?

And mine is from how I sound out Golgo with a bad Japanese inflection, kinda. (Ga-Ru-Go)
Yes, I really like the Golgo 13 animes/manga :P
A typo in high school
The Paingiver axe from BatMUD?

Anyway, the origin of my username: Cowboy Bebop was the first anime box set that I ever bought since it is one of my favorites.
