First band I was in during high school. AAA Battery. The name just kind of stuck... although we disbanded after a year-ish and I found some new musicians and we started to play gigs for real after high school.

I did an art project out of these fluffy cotton ball things in grade 4 or something. I made a puffy/fluffy looking chicken out of them...lol. So I called it Puff Puff Chicken. When I was thinking of a gaming name, said chicken was on my desk and I went with the name. It had a certain ring to it imo. Haha. My name has nothing to do with any inhalation of smoke from a cigarette or what have you.  (Alot of people seem to think that).

I stole it from a friend because I thought it was awesome. For more than 6 years, I've been using this name.

Well that's where he got it from duhhhhh. It was between Crispix and Honey Bunches and Oats. But that one was too long, and I didn't want to sound like a queer.

My name is my first two initials.  Domenic Joseph.  Used to be called DJ as a kid, always like being called DJ, but Dom, just stuck a lot better within my family.  When i first started playing games i debated between DJ, and another family nickname i have Deedge.

I liked Cronos (also know as Cronous or Kronos) who was a titan and father of Zeus, Hades and Poseidon or Chronos (god of Time not the same god BTW) but they where both taken on Diablo 1... so I made it Cronxs (pronounced Cronx)... I have played a million games both online or offline and all of them I used the same name... so If u ever see a Cronxs in a game its prbly me... (BTW never had a problem on having the name avaible, ive stumbled to 1 and only 1 Cronx... we got into an argument, but well the S makes the diifrence  8) )

Savage308 <- comes from this originally that was supposed to be my christmas present so I could go kill deer and make deer jerky. but nooo. Instead I ended up getting a  .22. -.- and then my dad took my ruger 10/22 which I just put a bull barrel on for himself? I don't get that but legally I can't own a gun yet anyways, not til i'm 18 and only rifles then.

Origin of my other name Cody Arnold. Well...... Evidently we had a old family friend and he basically came up with my name. My last name originates from my fathers side of the family although supposedly according to my grandma who does genealogy  I'm related to Abraham Lincoln from my grandpas side of the family on my moms side and I believe it was through my great grandpa. I have no specific reasoning to why I'm named what I am its just how it is.

Original name used to be hazardous... wayyy back in the CS 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 days.

At a random lan party, bunch of my friends and I got bored and someone joined with the name "Good [Enough]".  Then I decided to be That's [Enough].  Chanuk was Had [Enough]... we also had Not [Enough] and  Pyro [Enough].

Ah good times.

Damn I'm getting old.. that was over 8 years ago.

In Chinese, Kai is a given name which can be one of several characters. The most common Cantonese name is "繼" with five radicals for silkworms on sieve, meaning "unceasing (like silk)" or "following intimately (like silk)" or "continual (like silk)". The most common Mandarin name, "凱"， meaning "victory" or "triumphant".

In Burmese, Kai means "strong", or "unbreakable".

In North Germanic languages, Kai means "keeper of the keys; earth". In Germanic languages, Kai means quay or safe harbor.

Kai, fictional gods in the manga Dragon Ball Z

So, add an s to the beginning...

sKai

pronunciation should be as follows:

skai is pronounced as  s k ai  where,

s    is pronounced as       s   in so
k    is pronounced as       k   in key
ai    is pronounced as       ie   in lie


...most elaborate origin of a name I think so.
