Where did your name come from?

[Nerzual]

This thread was probably done before but if it has, its been awhile.
Where did your user name come from? I will start...

Nerzual is like Ner'Zhul for Warcraft, that lich king guy.

If you play undead and you click on the acolites, then they say sometihng like for Ner'Zhul and then if your name is Nerzual to begin with then it is cool, well at least to me. now you go.

[MrVicchio]

When I started playing Counter Strike.. years ago, everyone was 1337d3wd or 5n!p3r I wanted something classier.

Going with my last name wasn't gonna impress or scare anyone.. "Mr. Rogers has joined the server" would have gotten me laughed at.

So I used my middle name.

You're right it has, many times. But there hasn't been one in a while, and there is quite a few new faces around now.

I got mine from one of my past dogs. We named him Ivan after an Old Russian king. Some people called him Terrible Ivan or Ivan the Terrible cause if I remember correctly; he killed like 12 or 15 of his wives because they kept giving birth to girls. We always named our dogs after kings. My current dog's name is Alex. After Alexander the Great obviously. And he attacks windows. :D

[MrVicchio]

On a side note, my parents almost naved me Ivan (pronounced E-Vahn) BLEAH but when my dad got picked up to fly Fighters, middle of teh cold war.. namming his first son Ivan would have been a bad career move.

[Setari]

i made my name up when i was writing a story or something :doh: and i use it a lot...

[OfaLoaf]

The first forum I went on was a Zelda site. I knew almost nothing about Zelda, save for the fact that the main character was this kid with green clothes on. I chose a D&D-ish sounding name, and made it sound stupid: Olaf da Fool. While I was at that site, one of the other posters there started to call me Ofaloaf, and I've used that name since. I don't really know why he called me that.

Mushroom Samba for me, from a show called Cowboy Bebop.

[Doop]

Doop is just a cool word.
No, it's not from Futurama, how it appeared in that show I don't know.

/me prepares for people to make fun of his name backwards

[MattxMosh]

My names comes from er, well, my nickname.

Quick background story, a friends band played in Seattle a few years back, and I tagged along, with some of the BXC. They were shocked at our insane moshing skills.

Randomly, at the end of the show, some little asian girl comes up to me.

We had a brief conversation a couple friends overheard.

Something like this.

Girl: My name is Maddie, and I like your shirt. (Shirt I was wearing was a sweet FPC Final Mosh Shirt btw)
Me: Thats great, my name is Matt.
Girl: I'm going to call you Matt Mosh.

FIN

There was more, but thats irrelevant.

Doop is the "Democratic Order Of Planets." I'm surprised you haven't incorporated some kind of pic from the show with the Doop logo.


Used to be Raiden, after the character from MGS2, then when PS came out, someone had the name. Alot of guys in my outfit at the time had names involving Cowboy Bebop, and since I was somewhat of a fan of the series, I added the "Jet." Alot of those guys never adapted to the change, especially Everay, who still addresses me as "Raiden."

Edited out the bad parts, don't mind that little whatever in the upper right.

[DaShiznit]

/me is confused.

Mine comes from when I was conversing with my friend using that crazy "Ghetto speak" you kids use, and I reffered to myself as Da Shiznizit (meaning 'The Shit', which, it turns out, is a good thing). It was later shortened to just "DaShiznit".

[Sabinius]

latin name from latin
but latin is way too fucking hard.
quit it

[Doop]

Just to let you know, there's a hentai named after you too.

K, if you need me I'll be over there hanging myself.

[AztecWarrior]

"AztecSacrificialPriest" did not fit in the Tribes 2 character name box.

[Giovanni]

Great story Aztek !

Mine came from the fact that I came from northern Italy back when I was a wee little lad and when I started playing Vampire: the masquerade along with warhammer40k and D&D, the italian necromancer's clan stuck with me and I eventually grew on it.

+

Automatic - Auto

Automatic Killer. Good way to make a lame name sound better.

Sad thing is, I'm not all that good at FPS games.

[Derfud]

Random name I concieved while playing perfect dark on my gameboy.

[DeepStrikeck]

Back when I played Renegade, I left a dead clan and decided to get a new name (my old one was kinda lame Apache92, which I made for Red Alert 2 after completing an Apache model). So I wanted something to do with bombing/blowing something up and was thinking about a stealth plane and how they go deep behind enemy lines and strike the enemies. So DeepStrike was formed. Then the ck part was a tag for my Renegade clan-turned PlanetSide outfit, ContactKillers or CK, I just kept it on the name without brackets or anything.

[Smaug]

I made it up.

[FlamingPotato-J]

Due to having ADHD, I spaz out alot

[MrPaul]

When I was at a new years party with everyone, and we were all wasted, someone shouted "It's Mr Paul, thats his name, that name again is Mr Paul!" because I was playing with snow. Some hot girls also called me it, so on this mad powertrip, it is now my official name.

[Firegod1a]
