So, I have three different usernames, all with similar but distinct etymologies.
My main handle for the longest time was Freeburnerr. It was named after Burnout Paradise, that game was my favourite for the longest time, and the main mode was called "Freeburn Mode" (because freeroam). Why the extra 'r'? Because it was my youtube account name first, I was still in high school at the time, and "Freeburner" was already taken. I've moved away from it in some places, but I still use the YT account and some other accounts in other places have the name as well.
MadKingStuart was my first foray away from the Freeburnerr name, and I still use it on R*SC because I can't change it yet. Stuart is my meatspace name, and Mad King is a reference to Mad King Ryan from Achievement Hunter.
Decker_Stuart was my second attempt, because I realised MadKing sounded a bit... immature. Deckers are the hacker class in the Shadowrun games, as well as one of the gangs in Saints Row 3, which is named for the Deckers in Shadowrun.

R and B are my real life initials and “driftin” - well believe it or not but it has nothing to do with the motorsport. In fact I don't even like it very much. It's to do with the act of wandering, strolling, meandering, freewheeling etc. could also translate to the button u toggle for a drift eh?

I was watching the film 'I Love You Man' with a mate and in it Jason Segel's character is on the phone to his friend Ethan and he calls him E-Bone Capone. My first name is Tim so my mate changed the E to a T and hasn't stopped calling me T-Bone Capone since. Thought it would be cool for a PSN name. Had to put that damn underscore at the end of it though because it turns out there are already a lot of T-Bone Capones already out there

At the Commissioner's request: Does the 'Keke' part has something to do with the (Finnish ?) father, Keke, of Nico Rosberg? It does indeed. Since you ask, I'll break it down for you. It's a silly wordplay on Che Guevara (they sound similarish in finnish) that I came up with and thought there has to be a real person called Keke Vaara (there are several), which I found funny, "Keke" being the usual nickname for the many guys called "Keijo", and "Vaara" a somewhat common Finnish surname. Coincidentally "vaara" (finnish for a large, forested hill according to Wiktionary) is homonymous to "vaara" (danger, peril). And then there's Keke Rosberg so my GTA name was set. By the way, these shades are still called "keket" (plural) in Finland.

My username is a combination of Ajax (football club from Amsterdam), which is the football club I support, and Axel, my first name. And my birthday is on the 10th of the 10th month, so thats where the 10 comes from A lot of people call me AJ, I dont mind, but it has nothing to do with my identity, so I prefer people to just call me by my first name, Axel

'jt' are my initials and 33396 was my lunch number that I used in public school. So many people get the 33396 confused and I've remembered it since like 2nd grade and even way out of the public school system.

Nice thread I'm a LOTR fan."Lainathiel" a feminine name means "free,independent".That's also the meaning of my real name . Don't suppose that's an Elven name in LOTR, is it? I'm more familiar with the D&D style fantasy setting than Middle Earth, but the 'thiel' suffix strikes me that way

True,it's an Elvish name . Well,maybe not exactly but close translation.I use this name mainly for my female characters.
