Ushgarak
Right, THIS is the one, folks! Here is a place for members to explain why they chose their names and what they mean, and it will stay here so that we don't have to have a new one of these every month.

Post your explanations- and comments on them- here but do NOT start discussing things here and bring it off-topic! Please! We need this kept relatively pure or it is pointless, thanks!

My name is from a classic 1985 Spectrum computer game that revolutionised gaming; the first such game that I remember playing. It is the name of the main bad guy in it. I use it as I needed a name I could remember easily and that I was sure no-one else would be using.

diegocala
Mine means New Born King

LilySatine
Good idea, Ush!! smile

Hmm well, there's quite a long story behind the 'Lily' part, but to cut it short, it's a nickname of mine on another message board. As for the 'Satine' part, it's taken from the movie Moulin Rouge, in which the main characters' name is Satine! 'Lily' was already taken. roll eyes (sarcastic)

noodles
Mine is taken from the character played by De Niro in Once Upon A Time In America... Noodles Aarronson. The 'boykinb' at the end of each message i post was my nickname when i was a kid....long story!!

VampirePrincess
My name refers to the anime Vampire Princess Miyu.... But also it means my interested in vampirism/ bloodletting and vampires as well.

G.P
My initials...and (pronounced in an english way) my nickname when I was a little boy.

Ps:Well, There are quite a lot of 'final, absolute, ultimate, official' words this night....

Celsius

BondJamesBond
My name means Bond...James Bond

LilMimister006

There you go! stick out tongue

yerssot
which RPG again?

Evy_O
It's on another forum, an X-Men one.
Yet I suspect you just asked that to annoy me and waste my time stick out tongue

Scoundrel
Thane Zeriel came about because Thane was the name of a character I made up for a comic, and that derived because in some vague connection that is very distant so dont get hopes up I am related to the Thane of Inverness..and Zereil because I read a text on the Angelics and it was an Angel of the wrathfaul times and the heveanly wars and when God became passive he sent them to earth to reunderstand humanity and what is good...

yerssot
*points to self*
me?

I was just curious which RPG would have characters named Evy (of course I was thinking starwars like)

Evy_O
Yeap you, you have a meany emoticon next to your title, you cannot be trusted stick out tongue
Ah, really? embarrasment I had posted it before so I thought your question is ironic... roll eyes (sarcastic) Ok, I'm suspicious, I know! happy

Why didn't you use your old accound Scoundrel?

Ushgarak
WHOA! You can ask that elsewhere, Evy, let us keep this to the point, please.

Evy_O
Okaaaay, Ush, sorry... smile Back on topic, any more name explanations?

Darla

bigbadbike2
I got my name from my best friend. He had Bigbadbike programmed into his phone because he is the fastest man on a motorcycle in the city. We had been riding together for a few months and it got to the point were I could keep up with him. I had made my mark so to speak. One day I was riding and lost my cell phone. He worked at radio shack and found another phone for me. When the phone came to his work he set it up, and programmed into my phone the title Bigbadbike2 and it stuck.

Hitman came about during the winter when I would were my leather driving gloves everywhere. Someone started calling them Hitman gloves(they were big fans of the Sopranos), and it eventually evolved into me just being Hitman.

Tired Hiker
My best friend Ken and I were hiking in Yosemite about eight years ago. We were trying to think of names for our band if we had one. Well, we were tired and we were hiking so we came up with 'The Tired Hikers.'

Years later, I bought a bass guitar and Ken bought a drum set and we learned to play songs with my other buddies Kenneth and Brian. We kept the name 'The Tired Hikers' since we all thought it was cool. Hence my forum name, Tired Hiker. No longer preston mullins.

LanceWindu
I've said this in another thread, but this is the official one so here goes:

I chose my name because I originally joined this forum just for the RPG, I chose Lance because it was close to Mace, and Windu to be "related" to Mace Windu in the RPG.

Lance has nothing to do with my real name, which is Kenny.

Baylin
I named my self after my dog! eek! His name is actually Bailey but when I was trying to think of a user name for this group he barged past my chair trying to spin me around (which I'm sure he does on purpose) and then the name Baylin popped into my head. big grin

Crash: What my computer does 95% of the time (before XP)

Any reference to the movie "Hackers" is erelevant. I got that name even Before I saw it. (In the movie it is Crash Override)

The symbole I have, I started to draw back in sec 1 (grade 7). It can be seen as KINDA a rough outline of a head of a Bald Eagle KINDA (well it did on the early doodles of it) , also as the blade of the Grim Ripper's Syche (? that how its spelled?) So Eagle, Swift, Grime Ripper, Conquest over the souls. So My symbole means: Swift Conquest. (Just DON'T ask)

Sheepz
Well I really don't know where I got this name. It was entirely random. I think it came from coke studios. My name there is 'sheepies'. Some lazy dude typed 'Sheepz'. I kinda liked it. So, it stuck

DBZFan
okay....SO,those are odd ways to get names.

Captain REX
For some reason it reminds me of the dragon from the stupid Yu-Gi-Oh commercial for monster models. Don't know why...

Sounds cool though. smile

Metroplex
I named myself after the Transformers charcater Metroplex. He's really cool.

happy kine
metroplex... i actually got straight A's in the 5th grade so my mom would buy that transformer for me... it was the only 1 of 2 times i got straight A's..... the other time i needed a car. which is a funny story in itself. anywho... my name is a band name for some crappy show that was on in the 70's....

Dexx
dragoon...hmm..it reminds me of british troops....i think *thinks*

P-NuT
P-NuT because i am a bit of a nut, i love peanuts and the bass player from my fav band 311 is called P-Nut.

DemonicGambit
Um, I got mine from my father. He would call me his Demonic Angel and then I just switched Angel with Gambit, since he's my fav X-Men character.

DBZFan
Hmmmm.

Asami
Anyone seen that Japanese thriller/horror movie Audition? The psycho killer girl was called Asami thought she was cool, just started using that as a username - I'm sane though.

JixQuillan
My name Jix Quillan, means nothing. I just played around with letters.

must_kill_Santa
mi mate send me a txt saying we must kill santa and i thought it woz a gud idea

Nefertite
Queen of Egypt and wife of Akhenaton (r.1353-1336 BC). She is known from her portrait bust found at Tell el-Amarna, the king's new capital. She may have been an Asian princess from Mitanni. She appears with Akhenaton in reliefs at Tell el-Amarna and followed his new cult of the sun god Aton. Of her six daughters, two became queens of Egypt. In the 12th year of Akhenaton's reign, she either retired after losing favor or died.

I didn't chose name of movie characters like Galaldriel, Eowyn or Trinity...because I thought that here will be lots of names like that. I wanted something special and I chose Nefertiti. This is a nice name of Queen of Egypt and I thought that nobody won't choose it. Now they really won't! big grin

Dim
I got mine from lowered expectations...

It's simple

Lindsay stand for Lindsay is tight (because I am tight) and k stands for ok

Lindsay is tight ok.

thats what my friend always says anyways

booniae
'Booniae' means bunny. My friend game me the name a long time ago and it stuck. Ha ha.

Boo bunny

wicker_man
I choose the name Wicker Man after the film The Wicker Man for those who have not seen the aforementioned film. The Wicker Man is about a police officers investigation on a small Scottish Island about the disappearance of a young girl however in typical movie fashion there is more to this island then there seems.It's more psychological then gore and sticks with you long after the credits have rolled.

Tomkat

SlayerChick1188
mine's from my avid addiction to the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer (at least the earlier seasons)

initially it was gonna be VampChick1188, but i decided that sounded kinda slutty... embarrasment
