Why'd you choose your name?

[LewsTherin]

Lews Therin Telamon, The Dragon, The Lord of Light, Prince of Morning, Kinslayer, etc. etc.

Wheel of Time. READ IT NOW.

 

[Ago Iterum]

Mine is Latin for 'Live again', and has been used as an alternate term for 'Reneissance' in some smaller countries during their own cultural rebirths.

I chose it because I like the idea of bringing back old customs and ideas to our own culture that has gone overly PC and beurocratic.

 

[Jobz]

There's a series of books called Remnants about a bunch of people who survive the apocalypse by being shot off into space aboard a ship called the Mayflower.

One of the main character's nicknames is Jobs, he's a techie and he took his name from "Steve Jobs" who in his words "Created a revolution in his garage."

I just thought it sounded cool, so I changed the 's' to a 'z' and here we are.

 

[Molikroth]

There's a series of books called Remnants about a bunch of people who survive the apocalypse by being shot off into space aboard a ship called the Mayflower.

... Wow, flashback.

I remember planning to read that when Applegate announced it in the last Animorphs book, years ago. Never got around to it and eventually forgot. Gonna go buy. =D

 

[SidVicious]

My favorite member of my favorite band. Plus it's a sweet name.

 

[CommandoUK]

i choose Commando because thats the only thing really tht sprung to mind, i dont know really. back in my CSS days used to be Commando146, but now it's just Commando{UK} and its the same in every game.

 

[Limos]

My name is almost always some form of Mythological diety, demon, or the like.

 

[Lethal_rapture]

Because its my gamertag. I chose it as my gamertag because I'm part of the cult and rapture and i'm deadly

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Well, I was bored, hence that word, and I decided to add something else in there, as bored would be too plain. Tomato springs into my head, I misspell it "Tomatoe" and here we are now.

 

[Librarian Mike]

I'm a librarian, and my name is Mike

 

[Combined]

I've been beaten by combine every time I play Half-Life 2 and after a remark "You have been Combine'd" I just deleted the apostrophe.

 

[Avatar Roku]

I've been beaten by combine every time I play Half-Life 2 and after a remark "You have been Combine'd" I just deleted the apostrophe.

I like this one.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Because it's my global nickname.

 

[Zemalac]

My name is just that: a name. It really has no explanation. I thought it up a few years ago, and now I use it for everything.

 

[Blind0bserver]

The name suits my play style. I'm always the first one in at the head of the group.

 

[Catballs]

I'm not going to answer that.

 

[rottenbutter]

I was having trouble finding a good XBL gamer tag that wasn't used yet, so I looked through a list of unused tags. I saw the tag "rotten milk" on the list, and since at the time, I used to say butter a lot (don't ask why) my mom said, "rotten butter," I tried it, it worked, and the name just stuck.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Wanted to use something that gave pleasure but not anything dirty...so just redid the spelling of ecstasy and came up with this.

 

[Mr.Bubbles43]

Bioshock. 43 is my lucky numbers and all my friends said that I reminded them of a big daddy. The other names I used are Gunsnipe43, because I like guys and to snipe. MistaBubz which is basically just another version of Mr.Bubbles43 and then Bubblegun, which is a combination of the one ones. I've stared using that more and more as its unique and fun to think about.
