Hey,
So, a couple of days ago I saw a conversation about where everyone got their Profile Pictures from. That made me start to think about another common conversation I've seen on other forums.
By playing Minecraft (and games in general) you'll eventually run into people having strange, funny and/or creative usernames. Each and everyone who have a username usually have a story behind it as well.
Out of interest I would like to ask all of you;
Where did you got your IGN from and what's the story behind it?
(I was looking through the forum and couldn't find a similar conversation. If it does, I'm pretty sure it's so old it's better to create a new one...)

To start this of I'll tell you the story behind my IGN:
My current IGN is TheParrot, and the story behind that name comes from my previous IGN, which also used to be my forums username.
When I bought Minecraft I did it in order to play with my friends. I've never been creative when it comes to picking names. Because of that I spent quite some time trying to think of one. I ended up with the IGN parrot757. My favorite restaurant had the mascot of a parrot, and my lunch number at school was 757. When I got a little bit older, I wanted a cleaner, better-looking username. I decided to make the P in parrot capital, take the 757 out of it, and add "The" in front of it so It would be like I was the one and only Parrot. Now that I think about it, the nostalgia of parrot757 is real, and when I wish I still had it, I also wish I don't. And then the Minecraft name changes came out, so my name became TheParrot.
