Our Nicknames. Where did yours come from?

Lansid · October 2003

Just thought I'd start an interesting topic. Hardly anyone uses their real name in game or on forums... so where/how/why did you make yours what it is?

Mine was from an old Vampire: the Masquerade character. Had tons of fun with him till he met his "Dark Fate" *sigh* Soooo his name lives on...

squeee · October 2003

A lot of people think mine is from Johny the Homicidal Maniac, but it is not. A lot of people also thing mine is from a creature in the card game Magic, but it is not. A lot of people think its just a random word I read off of the break room table at the first job I ever had, and they are right.

killerTwinkie · October 2003

Odein. It was one of those spur of the moment type deals. I didn't think of a name it just came to me, though... the very first name I used was Nautika, thought it sounded/looked kinda femmy... so I made my new charecter Odein 'Frostbane'.

SatansDisciple · October 2003

satans disciple comes from my ritualistic fashion of killing awpers in counter strike. id always jump in a circle around them, then when there spinning around and cant see me id jump and knife them, then id laugh over the mic. they called me satans disciple, and they just kept calling me that.

madjake · October 2003

Well kind of straight forward. It came from a couple friends one day when we were all talking and one of them called me Disgruntled Jake, another said no, he's Mad Jake. Seeing as I am an avid Mad Max fan, it fit all too well.

Razr · October 2003

Well when i Played earth and beyond ( my first MMORPG ) i was going to type in Raz0r with a zero but the game wouldnn't let me but i wasnt watching so it just put Razr and never put in the 0 so i guess it was a accedent but ist's uniqe and pretty cool and is sounds good so thats how i got it

Rasuke · October 2003

Mine? Well... it originally started when I was just sitting down, thinking of better names for the characters I drew (I haven't shown anyone here one of my serious pictures, have I?). Anyway, it started out with my famous Kouromi and Rasuke. Kouromi of course was my main star, and the name I used online until I kept running into the msg "This name is already in use"... Sooo... started using Rasuke. It stayed MINE for about... a year, then it started to be taken. I still use it if I can, but if I can't then I will jump to any of these: Bliskine, Senn(asku), Rashnor, or Calend. I have some others, but I don't feel like boring all ya with em.

Hangar18 · October 2003

well azurok and diunuz seem to be the 2 names i use most often.azurok was made when i first got everquest.i was so friggin excited to play and i couldnt think of a name.i thought of aurocks from ff and wanted to add in a z in there(all cool medievil-ish names have z's in them right?)so azurok came out.pretty much the same with diunuz except there was no original idea name for that one.then on swg i was running out of names so i just used dallas which is the closest big city to where i live.and this name hangar18 which is what i use for most everything other than things like games comes from the greatest song ever(on the cd which you see the cover of to the left).each and every one of you should listen to "hangar 18".buy the cd rust in peace by megadeth.or if your poor download it.great song.

Pyro_Insomniac · October 2003

I use this screen name and Alessan most often. I reserve Alessan only for games (MMORPGs mostly) in which I intend on roleplaying. The name came from some time back when I couldn't think of a good name for an Elf I was playing in a DnD game.

As for Pyro_Insomniac... I made this name back when I was in like 7th grade. I was in this stage where I liked to set things on fire. I also rarely slept... so the name kind of came naturally, I suppose.

elbarto69 · October 2003

This was my first AOL screen name in 1996 or 1997. I wanted to be El Barto (what Bart uses as his vandalism signature in The Simpsons) but it was taken, so my dad said to think of a number. Being a spunky young teenager I of course chose 69.

What was funny though was that he didn't seem to think twice about it, and from then on people kept assuming it was a birth year or something so I had a bunch of older people IMing me all the time.

Apprentice · October 2003

I am a DJ here in Portland, Oregon, and my handle is Apprentice (and never call me DJ Apprentice...thats ghey). I also go by {pdX}Apprentice when I fire up UT2K3.

I like being underestimated, then as the enemy's last breath goes, they can think that they just got pwned by an apprentice.

phunkymunkey · October 2003

phunkymunkey is short for phunkyfloormunkey. Grew up in a family where we all ended up sleeping on the couches and floor. For some reason I would always end up sleeping on the floor. My house looked like a scene from Andromeda Strain, lol. Phunky comes from funky as in rhythm and style (and not smelly). That's why I used the Ph versus the F, Phat is a good thing, Fat is not.

But heh, If people want take it as offensive, then smell my wrath! I'm all for it.

Pheremones HOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! (Pulls out the Sword of Odors . . )
