Where did you come up with your aliases?

[the protaginist]

the protagonist is not an original name...but Epitaf,my Gamefaqs account,was an idea i came up with after seeing someones gravestone with the word on it,misspelled.
And Dr.Cross(Live) is just the name of the dude from the alex cross books.

 

[Kraj]

KRAJ: <<my initials. about 50%-70% of the people i know call me kraj.
crash: <<<the people who meet me and don't hear my nickname correctly.
Proto/ Prototype<<< people who know me intimately refer to me as this sometimes.
Monolith <<< because i'm an unreadable person.

thats about it.

oh, my ex called me kat. >_< girls call me that rather often once they get to know me, dunno why.

 

[Asparagus Brown]

I just like using words that, when put together, sound like a name, even though they're just silliness.

So Asparagus Brown it was. If I ever write a silly book parodying crime fiction, the detective protagonist will have this name.

I also occassionally like to use Abdominal Strain, which I came up with while playing Jade Empire, just because it sounded like the names they had already given to their characters.

 

[Altorin]

KRAJ: <<my initials. about 50%-70% of the people i know call me kraj.

I've seen you around, and I always thought it was for Experiment Kraj, from Magic the Gathering

[The Iron Ninja]

Being that this is an internet forum based around gaming, I used my X-Box Live gamertag as my username.

Ares Tyr is a combination of two names. Ares, the Greek God of War and Battle. And Tyr, the Norse God of War and Victory. I thought they fit nicely. Being that I am half Greek, Ares came naturally (though my first choice was Achilles). Tyr comes from my love of mythology in general.

That's about it.

Actually Tyr is the god of single combat (one on one battles). Odin is the god of war.

I made a movie with my brother a few years ago about a fellow called Alfred von Himstracht. Who was chased out of his appartment by a trio of evil dudes, I played the part of one them, which was the Iron Ninja. He was supposed to be a parody of the host of Iron Chef America (who says "todays secret ingredient is..." then screams out whatever the secret ingredient is) except instead of proper ingredients, the Iron Ninja's secret ingredient was always pain.
So I used it for my 360 profile, and now as my Escapist profile.

So I took a screenshot of a scene of the movie, added a spatula and a chef hat (to make sure people got the whole 'chef' side of things, though they probably still don't) and made it my avatar.

 

[A_Red_Sky_Morning]

I'm too poetic of a person (in b4 emo) and wanted a name that, at least to some people, would be a little fearful. To sailors, the old adage "Red sky in morning, sailor's take warning", means that stormy weather is approaching. It's also my XBL Account, for the same reason.

 

[N-Sef]

I think I've told this story quite a few times now, but I'll go at it again for the sake of the thread.

Back in 2002 I joined my first forum, and for that I needed a name. I had just completed Final Fantasy VII and had it on my mind, so I decided to name myself Neo Sephiroth. I have no idea where the Neo part came from, but whatever. Anyway, a few years later I got into playing Initial D: Arcade Stage and wanted to advance my playing by buying a players card so I can store my car and saved data. Since I had been using the alias of Neo Sephiroth for a while now, I decided to shorten it for the game (which only allowed 5 characters). So I wrote in N.Sep. My friend commented that the 'Sep' part was lame and suggested I put in 'Sef' instead. So I did, the dash in the middle came afterwards.

I have a lot of fond memories attached to my alias, since I made a lot of real life friends from those forums. But the whole Neo Sephiroth bit was done with, so I decided to now commonly use the shortened version.

 

[ZahariasX]

Simply put, my name is Zaharias...(It's said Zack-a-rye-us for any of you who think it's Za-hair-e-us or anything else of the like I hear all to often...I'm aware of the lack of a "c" but my name is the Greek version)

How about you shut the fuck up? How's that sound? Huh? Sound good? Thanks, next time I need your fucking opinion I'll ask...

You should get on AIM, btw.

 

[whoops1995]

For my internet names it's whoops1995 because it's a jab at myself(and a funny word) I'll give you a hint if you don't get it, 1995's my birth year.

Self-esteem issues aside, my xbl name is treadligtly. Being the dumbass I am (self-esteem issues again, damnit), I left out the H and am forever called by dumbasses who can't connect a word missing one letter, "treadligatly,treadligitly,treadligaaghgh whoever the fuck you are." And i found out that treadlightly with an h is already taken. How i picked it is wierd though. I heard an alternation of a quote by Theodore Roosevelt, "speak softly and carely a big stick." to "tread ligtly and carry a big stick" so i thought treadlightly would be a cool name.

You don't ask anything of a Ninja, either a Ninja gives or a Ninja kills, there will be no questions.

Gods of Combat do not give anything. We either kill or we don't kill. Keeping your life is gift enough in our eyes.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

Yeah but your two gods will be bickering as to whether they should follow the rules for greek warfare or the rules for Norse one on one combat. So I'd win, plus I'm a Ninja.

 

[Ares Tyr]

Apparently you didn't know that Ares was not one for rules. That was Athena. Ares was the God of brutal, bloodshedding, battle-frenzied war. Not organized warfare. Also Greece was one of the first cultures to derive the concept of the duel.

 

[DMShade]

My Moniker was stolen from the Darkness Spirit in Secret of Mana.

As for the DM part, I honestly don't remember. For one thing just Shade was taken everywhere I went.

 

[asiepshtain]

A deliberately overly literal translation of my family name "epshtain", used it first for a druid character in WOW, and I've been sticking to it ever since. I like the sound and the image generated by it.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

I still think the two would probably end up disagreeing over certain points.
Anyway I could just fall back on the whole 'Ninja' thing and leave it at that.

Edit: Here I go again, sidetracking yet another thread. Apologies all around.

 

[asiepshtain]

haha, just realized I don't use my common user name here
It's "Highrock" by the way. I should fix that.

 

[scarbunny]

I got mine after I had a motorbike accident, i broke my femur and knee and had to have lots of sugery so plenty of scars, plus I refused to use crutches in the house so use to hop everywhere hence the bunny bit.

Also used MonkeyFromTheMoon for a few years after my missus called me it out of the blue, my friends know me as loki as I like fire and mischeif

I hope you're proud of yourself... you should be ashamed.
