Dunno how I missed this...
No extraordinary story about my user name, though I've had it forever. It's actually a combination of two previous ones.
My first online name that I used for forums and the like (I've been on the internet for about 11 years now, since I was 15) was 'Infinity Paradox'. I used it for a long time. If it was too long, I'd usually do one of those shortening style things like xInfinityx or whatever.
Then I started playing the Star Wars Galaxies MMO, and your character could actually have a first and last name. So I wanted to name mine Infinity Paradox, but I couldn't. Infinity was already taken as both a first and a last name. But Paradox was still available as a first name.
So I put Paradox in as the first name and did a random name generator for the last name, just because I was curious what it would come up with. After a few clicks, it gave me 'Jast'. That seemed fairly unique, so I called my character 'Paradox Jast'. Nowadays if I ever need to shorten it, but still remain unique, I go with 'Jasticus'. Or if Krisk was still around, I'd be getting called Joxstrap or Joxy-kun.
The nice thing about this user name is that its relatively unique, so I don't have to worry about doing the x's to get the name I want on forums and stuff.
I've also been using it for a looooooong time. Taking into consideration that I played SWG almost from launch, so... May-June-ish 2002. I've been using this name for nearly 8 years.
