Where'd you get your name?

[TheIdiotBox]

I've had quite a few names in the past.

Orangedog/Websurfer(x): Used to share either of these name with my older brother back when I was in around 3rd or 4th grade and only went to sites like Nick.com and such. (Gotta start somewhere.) The "x" in websurfer was usually a 0, 1, A (for me) or G (for my brother).

Lightlord: Made this name up in the bathroom during 5th grade. I started using it in Starcraft and stuck with it for Gaia and many other things until around 9th grade or so when I figured the whole "light adoration" thing was pretty stupid. It's still part of my Gmail though.

Plenalian/Plen/Plenplen: Got this one from an Arthurian name generator around 9th grade when I started playing Maple Story, people tended to shorten it to Plen and I eventually made Plenplen to have a variation. I still use this one when I need a name.

Mr. Plen/Mr. P: Added the mister to make the name a little more classy around the beginning of 10th grade when I started making music in Midi and got into sketching alot. I also use this one, but not so much for characters.

TheIdiotBox/Boxy: My most recent name, and the one I've been using more frequently. Originally derived from a song by The Aquabats titled "Idiot Box". It's also a Spongebob episode and another name for television. When I used it to make a character on Maple Story, one of my friends shortened it to Boxy. I usually have to tell people to call me that, else they call me Idiot, which I usually don't respond to. The only real downside to the full name is a phrase impatient people tend to use frequently: "Wow, you really *are* an idiot." At the moment, I'm trying to decide between this name or Plen to use as an artist name. (I found out there's already a Mr. P. D: )
