How did you guys come up with your usernames?

As for me, it's the same as this game I was thinking of making, about this country of pagans who are being pursued by an evil Christian empire that becomes the de facto world government. I was trying to think of something dark, the simplest word being death, then I misspelled it, because I thought that would be cooler, as is the mentality for many heavy metal bands, but then I decided to throw in a made-up word that sorta rhymes, as not to be too shallow. Thus it is the perfect balance of darkness and silly.

Mine actually came about way back as a call sign in war games. And the early development of my character Darkfox.

Little does anyone know that the early Darkfox was actually a Black Jester, not a beast-man, and he was less serious and more weird and used a mild amount of odd humor. At the same time he was a parasitic character. Later I'd scrap the idea and make him a priest-like character of a holy element. This is the present Darkfox, a holyman. Which is a long ways from a black jester. XD

I don't really remember actually. I think I just saw misspelled or mistranslated Cerberus and liked the name. Something simple like that.

The original Greek form is Kerebos, actually, so your name is more correct than Cerberus.

There's a comic series called "Cerebus the Aardvark" made by a guy who really, really hates women.

My name is the same as my name in Final Fantasy XI. The "Val" part is derived from a character I made up when I was a screwy little teen, and the "iere" just sounds nice.

Isn't it Kerberos? But I mean in games mostly, you can see Cerebus instead of Cerberus. Such as, I think, in Golden Sun.

Yeah, I've read about the comic, but only after I chose the user name.
And I thought your user name was actually your name or something. Because "Valličres" is a second name (or family name, not exactly sure about it) and thought it was just spelled differently, but pronounced the same.

If you knew an ounce of French you would know it's pronounced BO-YEE-EH.

And the reason why you see Cerebus more is that it's easier for Japanese people to pronounce. And Japanese people are always right, so I should just say, THAT'S HOW IT'S ****ING SPELLED.

Okay... just so you know, my first language is French. BO-YEE-EH? What the hell are you talking about!?
Also, from Wikipedia:
Cerberus (Greek: Κέρβερος, Kérberos)
So that's not "HOW IT'S F***ING SPELLED", as you say.
Sure, Wikipedia may not be 100% exact, but there is a slight chance that it's more exact than you.
Yes.

I lost all my money in Vegas in a game of blackjack because of this card. But I'm one of those people who likes to laugh at the past and found this event in itself quite humorous. The fact that one card had such an impact on my life makes it really significant and I like significance so I chose it as my surname.

Yes.

I was just kidding. And now I know that you're French.

Maybe on the French thing part (BO-YEE-EH) but I doubt you were on the Kerebos one.
