Why do people put numbers after there names

[DBloke]

Its been bugging me
Is it to be different

 

[sasuke747]

No because sometimes the original Names are Taken so they use numbers Ofcourse you "silly Billy" Only kidding but I just had 747 because I always have it

 

[wolf231]

Yeah me to, i've been wolf231 for a long time, how it started is that i wanted to be 'wolf' but i couldn't so i just put 231, now it stuck with me.

 

[DBloke]

Well try a longer name

 

[The_Mitch]

well my name is mitch and alot of times mitch is already taken as a username so i put 2025 after it

 

[King Wiired]

Basically people do it when what they want is taken.. so instead of thinking of something else, they jus put numbers on the end. Whether it be a number specific to them or just a random loada numbers

 

[DBloke]

Well mine is Mike_Dix But I have loadsa vereations of it but I mostly use DarkPrinny if it was taken id use one of my others
Mind you how meny posters with the word Wii in there name are there

 

[Sovieto]

yah darkprinny, somehow people can stand having numbers, if the name i have is taken then i find a new one, im all about no numbers

 

[DBloke]

ALTF4 is possably the only exeption

 

[Link537]

I put numbers after my name because link is probably already taking

 

[DBloke]

Well durr
its a nintendo based forum

 

[Wilko21]

Well I did it because somebody took the name Wilko *looks around with shify eyes*. I put 21 because i was born on the 21st of feb.

Sometimes it has meaning to them and sometimes it's because the name they wanted was taken. Personally, I couldn't stand having numbers after my name, I'm just weird like that.

 

[Napalmbrain]

I must admit I don't like putting numbers after my name, but I do sometimes use them when someone's already taken the name.
