Minifig comes from the fact that back when World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King came out, I was looking for a name for my Gnome Death Knight. I couldn't find anything that really fit me as a personality. I saw a LEGO Minifig sitting on my desk, and had a serious nostalgia fit about how happy LEGO made me as a kid (and still do as an adult, because I collect them).. I tried Minifig. It stuck, and worked. Needless to say, I've been using variants of Minifig for the past five years. I really don't think I'll ever stop using it either because I'm credited in several games as my full name with Minifig as my nick name.. :) plus, it just fits me.
