[QUOTE=blake]my name came from my name irl...

great story i know[/QUOTE]


You story copier

my name came from when i was getting my Xbox Live Gamer Tag. I couldn't think of anything for my tag, so since my brother was getting my account, i let him choose the name. His current/favorite car is the Nissan Maxima. So as a tag he put in Maxima. That was already taken. When the
"that name has already been taken" screen came up, it had a bunch of suggestions listed under it. One of them was Ideal Maxima. He chose that one. I didn't like it at first but then i looked up the definitions of it. Then i realized what it meant and started using it for everything.

Well I'm Scottish, so I'm descended from a clan, Nicol - MacNicol - Macleod - Others. So thats the name! Plus it was Highlander even though according to the film they were from the completley wrong part of Scotland....damn Americans

[QUOTE=Aegis]I've been using Aegis for sometime now. I think I'm getting onto 6 years. Unless I'm wrong, it is latin for 'shield', which fits perfectly with my nature as being someone who is defensive, and protective of my friends and family.

It's greek Great name though

My name in my counter-strike era (due to my lack of talents that didn't last very long) was molotov, but when I started BG2 and joined Gamebanshee I realized it had to be fantasised, so I played around with some letters and came up with Moltovir. Later, in morrowind, I added a surname, so the full name is now Moltovir Gunastran.

So it is. And hey, according to the roots, I belong to Minerva

lol
Yesterday I read in a surname dictionary that mine (Guns, yes that's true, my name is Guns, please don't laugh ) means son of Odin I even have a Moltovir day! (Wednesday means son-of-Odin's-day)

So, you're the son of Odin, and I'm the shield (Or in some translations, Breast Plate ) of Minerva...

I like my station in life more...

My name comes from an ID I use at work. When I first came on I wasn't planning on steying for this long so I didn't want to bother coming up with anything. Oh well..

Don't listen to him, Love. I know you're Nature's gift. Both to Science, and SYM

And does anyone else thing that CE is somehow trying to imply that SHE is Nature's gift to science???

She is! Duh! She's like, fully fledged, over qualified genius!

so if CE and Fable had a kid would that child be a dictionary or just really smart? (this is a hypothetical stiuation not ment to be taken as there were to accualy have a kid. *whew* now that the disclamer is out there)

What's in a name? I'll play your game, you rogue!

Me, my name has its roots in gaming. First, there was the character Galuf from Final Fantasy 5 (which I had in the back of my mind for a while, despite not actually playing the game). Then, that name resurfaced after I start using that as the name of my Dwarf Fighter character in Icewind Dale 2. Finally, I decided "Aw heck, it sounds so good for a Dwarf, and you like Dwarves, so why not name yourself 'Galuf the Dwarf?'"

Bam! New name, new board, and the rest is history.

Sorry if this thread has been posted before...

I was just curious at the SNs in general since many I found strange and thus wanted to know more about the way they were created and their general history.

gfreeman...if you break it apart it says "Gee a(soft) free man?" Quizically sarcastic. Or actually its from Half Life 2...

I would never have guessed 'sarcasm dripping from every pore'
Makes people with glasses into hard asses with weapons and as I have glasses I like it!

All you out there playing BGII would know my name.. Yes it's taken from the annoying evil beer drinking dwarf Korgan in baldurs gate II, I just thought it fitted my mood when I signed up on GB, was stuck in BG II and came here searching answers

The nickname 'Odie' is from my first name Ode to a Grasshopper, now long lost along with my old password I'm not here much anymore, so it didn't seem worth the effort to get it back.
das_hermit was the next one, it came from an irate high school associate's attempt to get revenge for a comic my best friend and I made about him called 'El Squirto'. Don't ask...anyway, das_hermit was a hermit with an afro, and being aloof by nature during high school and having an afro I liked the name. El Squirto wasn't too fond of his name though...

Mr Spanky was an extremely customized character I made for a wrestling game my cousin had while he lived with me for a while. Mr Spanky was a martial artist, and so was not only utterly inappropriate but also consistently beat the more conventional characters my cousin came up with.

Maharlika...

... is an old Filipino word for "noble man" or "one with royal blood."

Hey Odie... I thought that with the Spanky thing, a Monkey would not be far behind...

The character's full name was Soap on a Rope, but I needed a short name and Mr Spanky was the most humiliating I could come up with.

Did someone say...Monkey?
