Editing AZMindroma (section)

==Name History==
AZMindroma's online alias has an extensive development history that started in 2013. [[File:MindromedaGalaxy.jpg|200px|thumb|alt=A mostly dark photo of fireworks, imitating the look of a galaxy|The photograph of fireworks that inspired the name "Mindromeda".]]
===AZ===
The first part of the name, AZ, is an abbreviation of the word "'''Animationszentrale'''" (translating to "Animation Central" in German), a word AZ made up in 2017 when searching for a name for a new YouTube channel. 

He chose this name due to his interest in creating and uploading animations on YouTube (more specifically, stickman animations using the [[wikipedia:Pivot Animator|Pivot Animator]] software) and his intention to create a channel that can be watched by people of all ages; the motivation behind this was that many stickman animations AZ watched in his childhood included content not suitable for children, most notably swears. His channel was therefore envisioned to be a "central" animation channel that could be watched by people of all ages. 

AZMindroma formed the abbreviation "AZ" while designing the logo for the YouTube channel. He adopted it as his main online alias in late 2017/early 2018 because he got more involved in international communities where the name would be hardly understandable; before that, he was primarily around German communities. 
===Mindroma===
The word "'''Mindroma'''" is not a word consisting of any other words in the English dictionary; it's a shortening of the made-up, but from the [[wikipedia:Andromeda Galaxy|Andromeda Galaxy]] inspired word "Mindromeda." AZMindroma came up with this name on New Year's Eve 2017, when an image of fireworks taken by him gave him the impression of looking like a galaxy. Wanting to give this apparent galaxy a modification of the word "Andromeda," he created the name "Mindromeda". He shortened the word shortly after.
===Sticky===
AZMindroma first established the name in 2013 when he began to write his own comic books whose cast of characters were stickmen. He called the main character of the cast "Sticky (the Stickman)", who was partially also meant to be a personification of him. He initially used the alias online while renaming his YouTube channel to "Animationszentrale | Sticky".

AZMindroma removed this name component from his online alias in 2021.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/400983101507108874/539955624784691231/815496216421990400 The earliest message in Rolling Lounge by UnbelievaBoat showing AZMindroma's alias change"]</ref>
