    I've heard you say that your name was not based on the football team, but never knew it came from COD. Interesting.

    For all those who were curious about my previous username...

    _TrueStud13 is a reference to the New York Giants reciever Odell Beckham Jr., who exploded onto the scene last year as a rookie. Because of him becoming a huge staple in the Giants offense, he was a core "stud" with Eli Manning. Hence, True-Stud, and the number 13. Underscore was for effect.

    Let’s revive this thread!

    So my name, Jdawger stems from my irl nickname, J-dawg (my real name is Jason) and from the phrase “you dogger” (which my family coined to mean that “the person is better than them, so they suck”)

    I don’t remember if Jdawger was first created for my Minecraft, deviantart, or Kongergate account (back in my jr high days), but it kinda stuck and is my #1 go-to username

    I'm gonna help revive this thread. 2 years ago at my school, we once did an experiment where we built atomic structures out of toothpicks and marshmallows. Honestly, it was the experiment that I've never enjoyed better which comes to the next part.

    Later that day, I saw the new kid gobbling down a massive bag full of marshmallows in the changing room. He looked at me, and whispered, "Marshmallows" and then continued wolfing down all the marshmallows.

    For the next couple of weeks, we would whisper, "Marshmallows" at each other. I don't know why, but it was just something that stuck with us. I got to know his name, and he got to know mine, and we started hanging out during recess and lunch. We then formed the "Marshmallow Bros" and just like that, we became and still are best friends.

    A year or so later, when I was turning 11, my old Minecraft account was compromised and I was forced to delete it. Around that time, I just got into internet memes. I think you can imagine how many memes I'd find as a "new memer" and I especially liked rage comics, and my favourite character in that was the derp face. With my combined love of marshmallows and derp, I decided that my new Minecraft account would be called "MarshmallowDerp". Gee, pretty obvious huh? :p

    Since then, I used the username MarshmallowDerp for every other account I created instead of my previous, extremely cringy one known as
    CrazyBoy
    Insanekid
    Ultimateboy26
    So yeah I'm just gonna assume that you read the spoiler and beg of you not to judge me. This is the stuff that I put in the "Worst usernames you've ever had" thread.

    In the cases that my name was already taken, I'd use the name "Derpmallow". I like both names, because they both represent the 2 things that stick with me a lot.
