Hi there, my name is Tychonyx (and before I have to explain it to anyone, you pronounce the x). So actually my name in real life is Tycho Nyxon. My parents decided to name me after some bonkers Danish astronomer named Tycho Brahe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe) since my parents bonded over astronomy when they first met. Plus, they liked the theme of a y being the second letter, my brother's name being created in similar fashion. They claim that this Tycho guy was someone of his own mind who didn't really listen to other people when he proposed some pretty crazy (even though utterly wrong) ideas. So I suppose they meant this as good luck to me so that I would be someone of my own mind.
When I was coming up with my gamer tag, probably for a game like runescape, which I was obsessed with back in like 2006, I became quickly frustrated with the lack of available names. Of course back in 2006 when I was 10 years old, I wanted names like "ShadowMist", "DarkInferno" or something pretty stereotypical for a 10 year old's gamer tag. It was out of sheer frustration that I decided to try putting my name as my gamer tag. Of course, being the sweet little 10 year old I was, I remembered my parent's warning about giving out full names on the internet so I decided to shorten it to Tychonyx, which not only looked cool as a gamer tag but also "didn't give out my full name".
As my network of friends online grew, I saw no need to change my name. Everyone that played online with me years and years ago will still be able to find me and I hope that joining on this site will allow me to make even more friends.
