Why did you choose it? Is there a story behind it? What does it mean to you? If you were to change it, what would the new name be?

My name has no real significance. It was my email at the time. Not sure how it came to be my email though.
I would change it to PhantomFeathers or Ei8htFulfilled in a heartbeat

Cause I was playing a game where "Squidbite" wouldn't fit as my username. Now I like it.

Stereocrisis was my idea for a band name once. I never really pulled a band together, but I just liked the name.

Basically the story behind it was that every time I turned on the radio, I would here people singing about needing help, asking to be saved, and generally pleading for their place in the world and acceptance. The same thing with TV. I just had the thought that it was a pretty big problem. Every time I heard someone it seemed there was some sort of crisis. Crisis on my stereo. Crisis in Stereo... A Stereo Crisis.

This is good stuff, an actual description. You know its never too late to pull together a band....i fancy myself a decent vocalist, just sayin :p So are you happy with it being your Newgrounds name or would you consider changing it?

Ragnarok, "ia" on the end as it sounds good.

and no not from the MMO, from other stuff the word is used for. Everyone seems to think it is from the MMO, it is likely a good game but I simply haven't played it so wouldn't base my name on it.

Ah, I missed this.

Stereocrisis has kind of grown on me. But if I were to change it, I would probably make it something else I liked for a band name.

Buddha of Jade is kind of cool, like one of those solid green jade Buddha statues. I don't really associate myself with any religion, but I like the imagery.
Onyx Sunshine is cool too. Onyx is a black stone, so this is basically a neat yet meaningless contradiction.

I too have experimented with band/musician names and attempted to form them, I came up with such things as The Shattered November, Present Tense Pioneers, A Stone Unturned, SlayveTekk. So far nothing has been successful, I guees I just have big dreams but don't know how to take the first step

I don't recall why I chose this name, I just make it my username on everything. Thinking of dropping it to just "Whale".

Response to Your NG name 2013-02-03 02:24:31


At the time that I made this account, I was really into "tremolo picking" on the electric guitar, as poorly demonstrated here. Since then I've lost access to my brother's electric guitar and so haven't really done any more guitar "playing" in a long time :(

So yeah, Tremulos was inspired by the word "tremolo" and it wasn't until a few days later when I remembered that "tremulous" was a real word and now my username just implies that I have the shakes rather than any sort of guitar picking method. Oh well.


It made more sense in my head.

A long time ago when I was about 10 or 11, I wanted an account on the Popsicles website (I can't remember why; I think it involved games or something). I wanted the name "icecreamman", but I accidentally typed "icecreammac", and it was too late to change it. Ever since, I've chosen icecreammac for every single website I've ever been on (with the exception of my school username, which uses my last name and first and middle initials). It makes it easy to remember, and I've grown to like the name.

I have no idea what I'd change it to; maybe icecreamman, like I intended to from the beginning, but a 21-year-old with that name is a tad creepy.


I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream!

My first name was almost Flaherty, so people have taken to calling me Flay. Flay was taken (by some guy who hasn't been active in years), so I went with 3Flay. The 3 is because I help run a site called 3chan.

I'd change it to Flay in an instant.

I've thought about requesting a name change, but I can't think of anything cool enough to justify getting rid of this alias that I've had for almost a decade.

I would change mine to either TheHealer or NowhereMan. Pretty sure those are taken but whatever.

My name is this because my steam name had Cobra in it so I decided to add that into my Newgrounds, which is now I regret. Anyways, I would like to change it.

Because Doom was my favorite game when I signed up here and I thought it sounded cool.

Is there a story behind it?

Apart from being inspired by the Cyberdemon, the most ferocious foe in the game, it also
refers to the image I wanted to create for myself on the Interweb (Cyberspace).

What does it mean to you? If you were to change it, what would the new name be?

It's become an identity and means a lot to me. I won't change it.

My original name was generated by the government to log into my primary school's network. When I made new accounts on other websites, I'd stick with the same name for simplicity.

Then, when I needed alts, I'd make a mutation off of my original name, which lead to a branch of mutated aliases starting in "Gum-". I grew slightly extra fond of Gumbadillo, as it has a nice ring to it and is easily distinguishable from other usernames.

That must be trippy. :P When you pronounce that name it sounds like the brand of shoes though, I always thought the name was about how it sounded. Interesting meaning behind it.

I've posted this explanation so many times in so many similar threads, I'm getting pretty good at condensing the story...

-My brother's online moniker was OhmegaTech at the time
-I wanted to do something similar, but I wasn't liking how GammaTech was sounding
-I was playing Armored Core 2 at the time, stuck on a level on the martian moon of Phobos
-Found out Phobos was the ancient greek god of Fear and thought that was awesome.
-Later made the observation that "Phobotech", while already sounding better than Gammatech, ALSO rhymed with one of my favorite childhood cartoons "Robotech", which sealed the deal.

Plus, "Galt" was taken.

No not really. I just got a new guitar and couldn't think of a username so I went with that.
Also "Viper" was already taken...so...yeah....

What does it mean to you?

It doesn't mean really anything to me.

If you were to change it, what would the new name be?

I was going to see if I could get it changed to Viper if it were possible.
But I've grown attached to it and have no plans on changing it.
