Jeebus was right about there being another thread for this, but it was way the fuck back in January of 2009, so I think it's fine to leave it where it is. Here's a copy/paste of what I said in there, though:
For a while in the late 90's, I used the name Ferahgo for character names or online games or whatnot. It all started with the game Darkness Falls and its sequel, Darkness Falls: The Crusade (which I'm sure absolutely no one here has heard of). When I created my second character in that game, I named him Dandin. A couple of years later, I got into a MUD game, Core, that had somewhat-enforced RP, that required you to use a name that was original, not from any movie, tv show or book. Since both Ferahgo and Dandin are names taken from the Redwall series of books, I sort of lumped them together and came up with Fernin. Over the years (read: once Darkness Falls: The Crusade was shut down because the bastards at Mythic didn't want to support it any longer), I stopped using Ferahgo, and used Fernin more often.

You won't find any info about it online, since I've never posted it and there's no reason Syd would have. Also, my name's origin is actually 3 stories, not one, starting all the way back in 1996. |
Sorry, I meant to day that I had tried searching for a topic like this, not for the origin of your username. I was and still am really tired as I am typing here tonight.

At 4 AM I REALLY wanted to register on the forums, and as fast as possible, so I came up with something in 5 minutes. I believe I was thinking about Super Mario World.
Either way I am not very good at creating names, and never bother to capitalize them.

This is actually a combination of sorts. You see, I'm a fighter by character class. Being a Light Warrior is a huge part of my life, so I like to represent it in my nicknames. Someday I aim to be a knight, but I haven't had any luck finding that Rat Tail
The second part of my name is actually my surname. I'm descended from the Irish McWarrior clan. I know then name implies some sort of innate fighting prowess, but we're mostly just alcoholics. The most famous of our lines, Finnegan McWarrior, was such an infamous cowtipper that it lead to his execution by British forces.
I want to stress that the name is NOT in any way related to the Brian Clevinger character from the popular webcomic 8-Bit Theatre

Lottel is the name of an ancient Mesopotamian god of pranks and jokes.
Thought it was apt.

Rydog has been a nickname of mine since I was born. I've always tried to use it in creating a username, but it's always taken and I am offered Rydog847r64785 or another which pisses me off. If I wanted Rydog847r64785 I would have fucking entered it. Sydlexia.com is the first time it ever worked by itself.

About four years ago or so I tried to drink way too many of these.. like 8 or so, not sure if I got them all though...
And long story short ended up trying to knock a friend out for stealing my hat. For the record my hats are all black fitted caps, the hat in question was white and covered in multicolored LA symbols, plus it didn't even come close to fitting my gargantuan skull. I missed extravagantly and followed my punch all the way to the floor. No one had to beat me down as punishment, I knocked myself out with the floor.
The joke was I could get an endorsement deal similar to the old SNL Coldcock Malt Liquor commercial, BLACKOUT WITH CAMO BLACK ICE! We eventually formed some sort of half assed idea about writing a comic book about ourselves, everyone would be a superhero based off their worst habits, I'd be Blackout Boy, a drunken fool that solved crimes totally by mistake while starting drunken fights and or bouts of hugging and street preaching, The other two had I think super liar powers and random booty call powers and cocaine assholery powers. The idea eventually fell through and I ended up using Blackout Boy here when I registered. Since I didn't want people to think I was some kid I dropped the boy.
Long story short I don't drink shit like that or nearly as much now, too busy with working to be a drunken party animal like I was years ago. I'm still torn on which is more enjoyable, I had more fun back then by far, but I have more money and self respect now, but not a lot of time to enjoy that money. The self respect is nice though.

You guys should totally team up for great justice with PCP Man.

Picked up my name from a skit that the blog master of Zelda Blog (The Missing Link) used to carry out. When Zelda Blog went down years ago, I decided to shed my young, retarded name and sort of adopted this one to keep the memory alive. I guess.

It's a song off "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" one of my favorite albums by my favorite recording artist. I almost named myself The Highwayman after the very famous country quartet.

Our beloved Syd of the Lexia variety, spun me a tale one fateful night, whilst high off his ass due to the effects of Cadbury Creme eggs (his addiction had peaked one night after he came across a sale at his local grocery store):
Way back in 1996, when our fair Jeebus was a fresh-faced, bright eyed young man getting his first glimpse of the internets, he came upon a BBS dedicated to "Doctor Who", how he discovered such a board when yahoo was the only search engine around is a mystery. He joined this board under the pseudonym "The_Doctor" as tribute to the beloved "Doctor Who" (this was back when a username based on a character was "Cool"). Jeebs thrived on this forum for a time until the day a /woman/ joined this particular den of Who "Fanatics". Jeebus, by some miracle beyond his control struck up a friendship with this young lass, they had a grand old time sending PM's back and forth, what happened between Jeebus and this alleged woman is a mystery to everyone left for another time.
Needless to say the events that led to the state of our fair Jeebus left him a Broken man, to ease the pain he began to fornicate with women of the night, imbibing vile concoctions to a drunken stupor, it was quite common for our dear Jeebus to arise from his slumber caked in his own regurgitation, commonly searching out MTG art of a most /crude/ fashion, known at the time as "Rule 34". After one night of such debauchery he witnessed something that would change his life forever, wiping the dried vomit from his shirt, he happened upon a televangelist preaching the good word of the lord, (seems this was actually a Documentary about Jim Jones and the events that took place before he got everyone to move to Jonestown back when he was just a preacher), this misunderstanding ended up being the muse that drove our beloved Jeebus from the path of evil ways. His vigor replenished, he decided to seek out a forum that aided those to return back to the path of the pious. He joined such a forum under the moniker "Jeebus_Slaves" (He was still inebriated, thinking he typed "Jesus"). As a result of his bull-headedness, he could not be saved.
Several years had come and gone when, one fine day, while lounging in his underwear and tube socks viewing an episode of his beloved Doctor Who, reminded him of his time spent on the Doctor Who Forums where he shared fond feelings with an alleged woman (there's a theory that this isn't a woman because back then ALL women on the internet were men) In the time he spent daydreaming an Episode of The Simpsons was airing. During his ruminations he snapped back to reality just as Homer Simpson yelled to the heavens "SAVE ME JEEBUS", this brought him back to the days on the forum where he attempted to turn his life around (but horribly ailed). At that moment, Syd entered the den of Jeebus and browbeat our hero, telling him how he needed to join his Grand website. Jeebus got up from his lounging area, boldly walked to the computer in nothing but his Briefs, Tube socks, sock garters, and a Vodka stained t-shirt (it was this moment that would forever turn Krislexia away from alcohol forever as she happened to be in the hallway at the time this debacle occurred) and while deciding how the peons of the Lexian universe would remember him forever, decided to meld his two most formidable Pseudonyms from years past (he was still a bit drunk at the time) "The_Doctor" and "Jeebus_Saves" into one glorious name that would stand against the forces of time.
And THAT my friends, is how our "dear" Dr_Jeebus received his username.

Why the fuck would you need sock garters with tube socks?
