Origins of Internet Personality Names

[Cobol]

There are internet reviews online who grab your attention by having odd names, One I'll point out is Total Biscuit:

Total Biscuit's name likely referances a scene from the Discworld novel "Carpe Jugulum" where a witch is talking about unfortunate baby names and mentions one such baby being named "Total Biscuit"

Now there are a lot of Internet personalities out there with stranger names like Bebopvox and Jacksepticeye. I have to ask where the hack do some of these stranger names come from, If you do know post their origin below.

Wasn't he also "Total Halibut"?

"CliffyB", that guy who produced Gears of War was a nickname given to him by a school bully.

Zero Punctuation's "Yahtzee" was a character in a video game he made.

I will buy a game off someone's wishlist if they can work out the origins of "Fork_Q". All the sources.

Nah sorry. One part a semi-obscure British comedy sketch, another part character from a popular science fiction TV show.

I don't know where fork is from, but Q is from Star Trek. I only know that because I knew a guy named Q IRL.

No. But I do love that sketch.

Its actually just being creative, but sometimes its actually to make you wonder what such a crazy name would lead to.

[[Industrial] A_HUMBLEBUMBLED]

I shoved a fork up my only freinds ass.


it was the last thing he said to me before he stole my social life.

[RalphRoberts]

I'm not creative, so I just did the nickname my dad gave me and my middle name. :P

As for all the strange names, I assume they are references to some event in that person's life that only they will understand, or its a reference to something they watched/played/read and they 'personalized' it.

[Utage]

Mine is based off mai maifus last name.

Some are just word play, for example, Pewdiepie is supposed to be "cutie pie"

Visitor Q?

I was named "the Defiler" because I would dig 1x2 tunnels everywhere in MC and soon under everyone's house would be a system of tunnels. I have a lot more crazy MC stories but they take up too much time to type lol.

No idea what that is, Felix got the Q part (partially) correct.
