Mine is a name that I came up with for Role-playing games and etc. its derived from shippo or whatever his name is from Inyuasha (one of the first animes I ever watched) I always thought that his name was chippo and added sai onto it and got chipposai to later find out that his name is shippo Lol
Kveldulv was the grandfather of Egil Skallagrimson, the funniest real life viking of all time (I won't bother writing all his exploits, but the time he grabs a peasant and vomits in his face, the peasant vomits back and so forth is pretty symptomatic).
Kveldulv means "Dusk Wolf", since he had a habit of flipping out at inopportune moments. Just like me yaaaay!
I created mine for my WoW character ages ago. I always liked to have slightly RP-ish names for my characters and loved brainstorming them. In WoW fluff, the Twisting Nether is where warlock's draw their power from (sortof). Nethertwist was born. It became my main character and I got it to level 80. Since then I've used it in everything and it's never been taken. My friends take the mick out of it but I like it.
In the Ork codex there is a page with all these Ork words and what they mean. I was using it to come up with names for some army fluff and noticed Snik was the Ork word for, uhh, Kill I think?
I came up with my username a few months before I first posted. It was suppose to be my own space marine chapter I was going to make, but never got around to it. Liked the name, so I kept it.
I've had this one forever. One of those random flash-of-inpirations-while-sitting-on-the-computer. If it is taken (which has only happened... twice I think?) I use Piemaster. Which I thought of before ever playing Fable. Actually my avatar is my spray in shooters, but that verson has piemaster written on it (for some reason I use Piemaster as my steam game name even though my account name is crazythang makes no sense to me).
Dronze wrote:"Dronze" is the short form for "Terrordronze", my old username on The Geekery/geekforum.org (a forum for geeks... duh.).
"Terrordronze" is a mutation of "Terror Drones" a skittery little tank killing unit from Command And Conquer Red Alert 2, because I really liked them.
I've been using the handle for almost 10 years now, and it's also my callsign in paintball. Why fix what ain't broken, yeah?
They were the only reason I ever played Soviet I was addicted to ra2 even when my friends liked other games. RA2 (NON EXPANSION) was the best one in my honest opinion.
Since you got me to fall in love with your name, I suppose I will post mine:
!$# doesn't look like much, doesn't mean anything, and I think it kind of looks cool. But if you try to type it out without holding shift... (I Love You)

I see your's and think "bangdollarhash", all as one word, said really quickly
Mine was a Guildwars character I was playing. I played a veteran looking fighter.
I was thinking about the periodic table of elements, and decided Cadmium sounded pretty badass. Cadmius passed quite nicely as a name
Judge added lots of authority and fear to his name
My nickname has been Fieldy (surname Field) for most of my life. One of my mates started calling me fliddy a while back. No idea why, but it just stuck!
Little story behind mine. See, my friend John got me into runescape waaaaaaaaaaaaay ago, and his user name was Johnwars, as in Starwars. So I created my Alexwars account, promptly forgot the password. So I made a new account, "Alexwars1," and its stuck to every account I ever made. Cept for youtube, thats alexwars2.
Mines from the game Bully. The chubby nerd always walks past and says, Fatty has arrived! Just shows how lame I am. Can't even think up a good username...
People can be funny regardles of origin, and altho some american comedians aren't all that great the american lame to cool ratio is about on par with the rest of the world.
Cept for southpark thats just braindamaged.
That's one opinion. I'd comment on a comedian from your neck of the woods... If I had ever head of one.
Well dutch comedians aren't like yours, it's called cabaret here, which is often more of a mix of stand up comedy and theatre. Hans Teeuwen is one that has done English shows but he is very NSFW and his kind of show probably wouldn't translate that well to an American crowd.
My top 2 non dutch are Billy Connolly and Eddie Izzard though.
A Hydroblender is a piece of equipment used in Rural Fire Fighting (Wild Fire or Bush Fire Fighting depending on where you are from) its mixes Soap with Water to decrease the surface tension of the water and basically make it wetter and more sticky. I'm a Rural Fire Officer in my day job.
Disposable Hero comes from the title of a Metallica song called "Disposable Heroes", which is about the futility and cruelty of war and generals treating their men like cannon fodder.
Interestingly, the name was not always my first choice. Once, when I registered for a forum, I chose the name "WeAreVenom", but my account got accidentaly vaporized due to a glitch of some sort, so I created the Disposable Hero account.
My username would have originally been Pisces.Iscariot (my old steam username) which was a Smashing Pumpkins b-side album but this name is from a NIN song (the opening track of The Downward Spiral). The lyrics are just freaking awesome.
'I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct'
Kinda fits my dark, complex and strangely weird personality
I came up with ComputerGeek01 as an alternative to another screen name on a differant site that I have since lost access to, my reputation under this screen name fared much better so I've kept it on mostly all of the sites I go to on a regular basis and have registered it on some that I no longer go to at all. Lucky me it always seems avalible.
Basically it is to keep an identity online so that in the off chance that people recognize me from another forum they know who I am.
EDIT: LOL! I just googled my screenname and found it on one of those matchmaking sites!!!! This is hilarious as I've never had the attention span to go through any of these "matchmaking multipule choice tests"!
Mine is my name, plus an old reference to an obsession with WW2 I had in middle school....I used it so all my friends would know it was me when I added them on IM.
I'm naturally a smart- and so whenever someone asks me my username I can reply Whatsit Tooya (for you idiots out there "what is it to you"). I also go by Nonya Byniss (None of your Business)
Whatsit Tooya wrote:I'm naturally a smart- and so whenever someone asks me my username I can reply Whatsit Tooya (for you idiots out there "what is it to you"). I also go by Nonya Byniss (None of your Business)
Got to love Sumdumgoy, too. (for those of you who don't know where this is from, watch the Last Dragon).
My username comes from my brother, actually. He made a Khorne Champion he named Slarg the Slaughterer, and his username has a 232 on it, so I became Slarg232
I'm RAF, so my nickname was Maverick to my friends (Yes, that is a topgun reference). I play elysians, so I felt it was at least semi-appropriate haha.
I was reading the paper a few weeks ago and there was this extremist right wing writer talking about how left wing agitators were attempting to discredit Dubya Bush and in alludiing to them being the same as Terrorists he called them Jihadniks. I thought that was the most hilarious term and I've been using it as my Email, gamertag and handle here ever since...
The worst part is that because it is my email address I've had to use it on Resumes a few times and also when doing my taxes...There's nothing funny about having to tell your Turkish accountant that your email address is Jihadnik!
Back when I played Diablo 2 I needed a sweet name for a new smite Pally. So I looked around my room and first I noticed the case for Resident Evil 0 and thought "Res...res...that's a cool start". I tossed around a few random concoctions until finally Resric sounded really, really awesome to me.
I've been using it as my character name in video games ever since. Currently, Resric is an Orc DK on the Illidan realm.
Well. I'm working on an Imperial Guard army, and the company commander is a colonel, *unnamed*. The second-in-command commander is a captain, Damian.
So uh yeah...
The reason for their ranks are because I read on Lexicanum.com that the colonel is a commander with a leading role, while the captain is a commander with a fighting role.
Both are actually company commanders, but since I wanted to have both ranks in my army and I only had one CCS and one PCS, I decided to put the lower-ranked captain in the PCS.
KTHXBAI
My ork Warboss name, "IRONKLAW because of the Powerklaw
MADGUTS because he has a upset stomach , what with that chaos belt he's wearing.
MEK because he started as a mekboy and has made his own bike...
Pedro Kantor wrote:Rather obviously,it is my chosen forces Chapter Master.I will rebuild the Chapter and restore it to its full glory in the eyes of the Emperor.
Mine is kinda a double- I wanted to represent my first army, the Space Wolves. I liked the double Werewolf (the hardcore feral 'eat people' type, not those twilight wimps) and Viking theme, so I did that fro my name.
Asgeirr is a norse name that means 'spear of the gods' (kinda fitting for a SM chapter) and the Darkwolf part is for the Werewolf theme.
Also the name of my wolf lord!
(In hindsight, I wish that I'd thought of a funnier name...)
Xylthian is the name of my WoW char , a friend had the name Xylthion and he had all the achievments for raids and i linked his achievements which 90% of the time got me into raids and i stuck with Xylthian since
Mine came from a nickname my friends once gave me, which was probably supposed to be Ruck Dawg. My last name is Rucker, you see. Anyway, I just kind of adopted it as Ruckdog, and started using it pretty much in all the online games and forums I posted in. This, it is something of a personal running joke.
My friends were rapping one day just for fun, (also making fun of a rap group in our town. The guys in the rap group are all upper-class suburbians who rap about shooting people and smokin. None of which they've ever done) so when it was my turn they introduced me as JFizzle. So i put my football number after it and poof, JFizzle51
It was going to be RAM , But I thought it was too generic and there was no way it was available, and I wear mostly black leather so I thought, why not add black infront of it?
Why I chose Ram? Because, I have the coolest initials out there.
I used mine because my husband loves the name "Alaster" and he has always used the name AlasterGrimm in his MMORPGs (because him and his friend like to refer to themselves as "The Brothers Grimm"). I have always liked the name "Alannah," so I tacked on the "Grimm" for the family aspect.
Prometheus was the Greek titan who gave fire to man and allowed then to stand on their own two feet. It also stopped Zeus wiping them out when he was bored with them.
The Zero is a science reference in that a subscript 0 usually means the initial or first, such as an experiment runing from t0 to t.
So it kinda means I am the original benefactor of fire upon man. That itself can be read in two ways; 1. I give fire to man as in hand over a lighter or 2. I give fire to man as in set the planet ablaze.
I'll decide which on a whimsy when I develop super-powers.
my friends and I started going to each others house to paint and play 40k for a few months and then I said are you guys coming to my place for a Nerdfest? since then the term nerdfest has stuck when referring to our gaming days, when I started on dakka I wanted each of us to stay true to the Nerdfest so I chose nerdfest and my fav number and just popped them together! my best mate is also on Dakka and he's Nerdfest10, and my other mate Nerdfest01 will join soon I hope!
My was a Spin off of a Family of Character I used to play in my RPG and my MMORPG of the Reeves family, Thus the first was Eric, Second was Alaster, then my best friend and I both starting linking character name as we would be the brother's Grimm. So I made Alaster into Alastergrimm. Thus a horrible chain of events was started.....

for a minute i was confused by what you said, but after a few seconds i got it <~~~Ditz
I thought you were Gwar!s friend (maybe you are, but it's coincidental)! Anyways, for me, i just chose the eldar craftworld I paint / play with (Yme-Loc), what friend peoples sometimes like to call me at school (Squirrel, sometimes red squirrel), and a lucky number of mine (from when i was 5), which turned out to be 16 squared.
after many other net handles including weasel, firewolf and nutter (given to me be a few friends *shrugs shoulders*) i started playing some new mmo's and wanted a change so Lrak is my rl name backwards
my full gaming name is normally Lrak Arid, just cos i like the word Arid
when I was little, my cousin was picking on me, and called me a "ladybug" cuz I was so small. My mom and aunt thought it would be funny if I called him an insect too (cockroach was the worst I could think of). Mine stuck, and his didn't. :( boys are weird like that.
A friend of mine thought that mandarin oranges were actually called mandalorian oranges, and that's where the name came from in star wars, I made a picture of a jango fett orange and then it stuck
it's misspelled because the full "MandalorianOrange" was too long for an xbox gamertag
Mine comes from about 10 years ago when I first picked up on the whole '1337' thing. Around the same time, I was trying to get Oni to run on my PC. I never managed to get the game running, but I did think about the word oni in leet-speak, got thinking and swapped the Z for an X, since I thought it looked cooler, like xylophone and added an 'e' so it read how I was pronouncing it in my head.
For a while I used 'One' as a surname of sorts for my online persona, but I grew tired of it and dropped it. Then one day I found somebody else had already registered Xeroen on ebay, so I changed the letters of my real-life first name to make Shayle, which I use where Xeroen on its own is already taken. A whole one website - ebay.
Ok: Long, long, long ago, when I was 8 or something, we used to do all this role-playing stuff. We were foods. My best friend was a nacho (now he's a BMXer) and I was... you guessed it: a cheese.
I was playing on my brothers Xbox live account (afrowman (we both really have afros)) and I decided I needed to make my own. Suicidal Cheese was an awesome name, but it was already taken.
That's how I became Suicidal Cheez and I still am ever since. There's even a song named after me (well actually it's "suicide doors" insted of "suicidal" but okay).
If I would change my XBOX Live name, it would be 'Quickscopers Suck'. Quickscoping is a very overhyped Call of Duty tecnique and people who do it think they are very skilled and good.
I made my living playing guitars for a long time. I also take care of guitars more than I take care of anything else in my life. Being an Eldar geeker I decided that not only am I a guardian of guitars, but I am the self-appointed guitardian. It's pretty much just an ego trip about the two things I like to do combined into one word.

Nice. I tried that in middle school at one point. We made a "code" it was really just a bunch of different symbols to represent each letter in the alphabet. The downfall was everyone needed a key to remember the code, and such keys were discovered. That in turn led to quite a few of our harsher opinions being revealed to the class and faculty. It was not my proudest moment. Haha

It was my first e-mail long long ago but it's just like it looks.... You Be Swanky Too....swanky being cool, smart, and just genrally hip. I just like to let people know how I feel about them
Vargtass is swedish for "wolf's paw" and is also the name of a drink here in sweden made out of homebrew liqour (alternatively vodka) and various amounts and forms of lingonberry (depending on taste or how stupid you are it's various amounts of lingonberry juice or in the stupid case, a pint of homebrew with one lingon berry in it). I have used the nick for quite a while and it was either this or my nickname from my old university, Übersnackis, which is basically some sort of weird Scanian slang for a person who talks ALOT (which is correct, I can't keep my pie-hole shut for three seconds).
I can't remember if I've already written on this thread so sorry if this is a repeat...(Hey, at least I don't have any cute cat pictures to put up instead!)
I once read the term Jihadnik in a very right wing news article about people that weren't pro war and I have used it ever since wherever I can.
The hilarious part is, its part of my email address, so when I've gotten things like my tax information that's what I write for email address.
The even more hilarious part is a mate of mine in the army used me as a character reference for a security clearance check and the first thing the defense force lady asked me over the phone was, what is your email address so I can send you the form!
I thought I would be crafty and just spell it out, but there was a long, pregnant pause after she wrote it down and then...'so you must have a weird sense of humor...'
Ooops, yeah, I thought it looked familiar! I read quickly through the first eight pages and thought, oh, maybe I didn't...good memory...or, good speed reading there! Still, the second part of the story was only just recent...wait...I think I remember now about mentioning the tax thing?
This troper once stepped into her bathroom to find a giant wolf spider. Non-poisonous, but huge and utterly terrifying. First she tried to squash it with a shoe, but it kept running away. Then she sprayed it with hairspray that made it JUMP at her and cause her to run screaming from the room. Finally she managed to more or less trick the spider into running into the sink, where she sprayed it with more hairspray and then grabbed a match, lit it, and threw it in. For the record, hairspray is REALLY flammable. Also for the record... Spiders on fire can still run!
This troper imagined that entire scenario in a Calvin And Hobbes-style comic strip.
Note that this applies to headcrabs as well.
Having spent several years as a camp counselor, this troper considers an aerosol can and a lighter the best way to deal with those pesky black widows. When a little fire doesn't work, use more.
You can NEVER have too much fire when dealing with spiders.
Am I the only one quite scared of the idea of FLAMING SPIDERS?
I thought the post was hilarious, so Flaming Spider I became.
I used to play a lot of Halo. My username on that was Trooper7, but one day I decided I needed to change it to something a little more complicated. So I thought for a little bit, and made the name Happygrunt, because I liked the little grunts that you fought in the game. The name stuck, and if Happygrunt is taken, I will either add a 7 (my favorite number, as I like odd numbers, because in terms of strategy games, that means you can have 1-3 powerfully units and 4-6 "smurfs" or bodyguards), or Saintgrunt, as I adopted the "Saint" during my time in conformation, and the fact that among my friends I do nothing that could be seen as "bad". But since I was about 12, I have used Happygrunt, and name EVERYTHING on my computer "Happygrunt's". Including my school flashdrive. THATS fun to explain...
My name is a name I use for various Dwarf characters I've had in D&D, Heroquest, World of Warcraft, and Warhammer. Probably others. Ben is my real name so I wanted to think of something that incorporated it. Stonefist was the name of the a guild I started in WoW and it just kind of stuck as my last name. For fluff in Warhammer Bengrold lost his hand to a Dark Elf Hag and got a stone one attached and animated using forbidden runes.
I play the saxophone, and there's a funny simpsons episode where Lisa chooses to learn how to play the saxophone, and Homer asks "Lisa, why the saxamaphone? Why not the clariminet or the tubamabob?" So I combined saxamaphone with my first name.
Not sure what my username means, other than that I am a total nerd, but I know that my avatar means I will eject you out of airlocks if you try to deactivate me.

My first GW purchases in the sadly defunct GW Beckenham store (S.E. London) were the box sets; Harboth's Orc Archers & Rugluds Armoured Orcs. I loved those figures, but especially Ruglud and his boys. I use other handles elsewhere but fancied something 40k for Dakka Dakka, unfortunately I never really played much 40k so thought 'what the hell' and went for Ruglud instead. TBH, was really surprised that it was available.
Other handles include;
Buzz Lightbeer
Dan Polo - a take on Han Solo from Star Wars Roleplay
Elric Dragbo - my WFRP character - human knight panther
Darkmoon - main character in my unfinished fantasy novel
Brother Boleyn - West Ham United FC fan for my sins
2d6 - my ebay and web shop
Doomthumbs is my Xbox live account, because well.. at the time I was unholy good at Gears of War.
Other handles inlude:
Mr Weasel - My wife and I own 5 ferrets
Protag - Short for "Protagonist" and fits a 6 letter hash
hmm, well element was just something that kinda stuck with me. I used to skateboard in middle/highschool --when I set up my first hotmail account all those years ago, I chose to go with element because I was wearing the skate shirt at the time (skateboard brand). It has acquired some meaning since that time because I became a huge fanatic of biology and chemistry....a pharmacology major. the 206 is the area code where I grew up, one of the prettiest city in America -- the Emerald city, Sea-town -- Seattle
Mine is the name of my Army's actual leader. other tags i use often are:
Talon, started using it in flight simulaters
ALLEN only name i ever use for computer RPGs Zarad the arabic word for chainmaille, my Amtgard/Belegarth/SCA name.
I chose Daedalus because he was the legendary engineer of the Labyrinth of King Minos, and I fancy myself a bit of an engineer. Plus the concept of your own skilled hands being responsible for the prison in which you are to languish, and then escaping through further application of your trade is strangely intriguing to me.
I picked ReardenPro as my handle because I am a huge Ayn Rand fan, and Hank Rearden was my favourite character in Atlas Shrugged (although I like Howard Roark more).
That, and he is totally pro, inventing a new metal and sleeping with Dagny (that slut) and whatnot. He shot some guys too, and that was pretty cool.
Well, for me, i use Conservationist for a couple of forums. In fact i dont even know why i chose the name, iirc i could have been sitting down one day watching Nat Geo and i got the name, been using it since.
I used to lurk a bunch on this forum because i had nothing much to say. just looking at pictures and stuff
One could say i was just.. Mukkin' About?
pretty accurate to what i'm doing now that i post here as well!
I probably have posted already but I chose my username because I have a fascination with death, dead things (must be untouched and unharmed) and bones. I think its just because dead things look so peaceful and bones are just enchanting
Well, my name is Sil. And one day someone called me sillyboy and since then everybody is calling me that. Except for some girls who keep calling me silly.
I like EARTH, and I love Beards. But it came about from a very, very late nioght conversation of rubbing mud all into my beard, and murmuring earthbeard over and over again, a distinct lack of sleep could've been involved.
I used the name I created for my Chapter Chaplain for an online game. But because of its length, the inevitable shortening occurred and I got stuck with 'Doc'. But Doc is always taken early in every game and forum ever made, so I changed the word slightly and huzzah!
I play it on PS3, I can't remember how many things you have to kill to be granted the trophy of "Lord Of Death Mountain" but when the name / trophy came up on the screen I found it hilarious. It is so juvenile and lame that I couldn't resist it.
In world of warcraft i tried to figure a feminine name for my troll warrior. First i came up with Umea (which sucks imo when you look at it) but thank god it was taken. Then i i added L and it became my loved Lumea (now lvl 80 warrior) . Then one of my friends started to call me Lumppu (sluttish insult name in finnish) and it kinda stuck. Now my profile name everywhere is Lumea/Lumppu or something like that. Even IRL everyone calls me Lumppu.
When I started online gaming a few years back I was sword_boy because of my fasination with swords then quickly came to other childish names and now, 14 and I have started playing 40k and my first army is Imperial Guard.

In August 2007 before Apocalypse was released in October, I built a Brass Scorpion based on a photo of the datasheet previewed at Chicago Games Day. I built in within 24 hours of the photo making it online and showed it off to friends at the Maryland Battle Bunker/HQ that Monday evening. The Bunker was short-handed at the time and asked me to do a builder's clinic for Brass Scorpions after hearing some of my many construction ideas for them. After doing the clinics and creating a written guide on how to build them my material was also used on the GW US website in an article about building Brass Scorpions. That article appeared for the first 6 months of 2008 till the UK took over all website functions and the material was lost. In any case, when I joined the online community I figured that was the project I was most proud of and best known for at the time so I chose BrassScorpion for my user name.
Akuma (in Japanese, "devil") known in Japan as Gouki (豪鬼, Gōki?), is a video game character from the Street Fighter series of fighting games. Akuma made his debut in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a secret character and hidden boss. In the storyline of the Street Fighter video games, he is the younger brother of Gouken, Ryu and Ken's sensei. In some games he also has an enhanced version named Shin Akuma, or Shin Gouki (真・豪鬼?, the "true Gouki") in Japanese.
thanks wikipedia.
Man, I've been trying to find a cache for those files since the article first got taken down and never had any luck. Thanks for that! And indeed, some call me...Bob. GW uses my name all the time on What's New Today. I've been on there eight times since my first one last March, including this week.

Favorite color has always been blue, but having just a plain color username sounded boring to me. Gem names like Sapphire and Emerald also seemed dull, so when I did some searching for some off-names of colors I was delighted to find Azure.
tantan was a nickname, my name's tanis (odd I know) and somehow it got to tantan. As for the number that is because my mind is so simple it's amazed by how much 628 said as separate numbers (six two eight) sounds like 68 said as one number (sixty-eight).
My username came from my love of crimson fists when I joined Dakka Dakka but obviously, being myself, since then ive went from the fists to SW, to DIY, then BA, then BA DIY, then ordinary DIY again, then GK, and now FINALLY, GK. The 832 was just a random number I chose.
I thought of a stupid name for my Live account, and came up with this. It wasn't until after my friend (who frequently poked fun at my Irish heritage) asked my screen name (and the resulting facepalm as I realized the now obvious connection) did i start using it on all the forums I frequent.
My favorite video game of all time is breath of fire, an old SNES jrpg. The games translation was..... not good. My name is a referance to the evil clan of dragon people, and a little bit of an inside joke to those in the fandom.
I thought I was being extremely interesting and unique when I originally made it. It was supposed to be an abbreviation of "Cyber Onyx." (Still pronounced Sy-bronx, though)
Now I just keep it because it's what I've used in the past.
It's an abbreviation, as certain people of a certain religion have been known to take offence to it. It's not meant as an insult, nor does it make any sense as one, but some people will take it that way. I use the unabridged in some places but rarely on forums. Likely enough to get into an argument as it is.
Oh, and it's a quote from one of my favourite comic books.
I got my name from my friend at work . everytime you told him something he'd go " that's nothin man". so after a while me and some of my other friends started making fun of him saying " tnm"
Mines named for Caboose off of red vs blue. Blue because he is blue, and oblivious because he is oblivious and it needed to follow a Adjective-Color-Character Name for my gaming group on steam, now no longer formed.
Mine is because my name is Chris Moss sounds like Christmas and so I was nicknamed Singing santa as I used to sing at school the singing part was dropped and so now at school I am called Santa or Christmas.
My name is a fusion of mine and my gaming buddy's name. Back in 2005 we were playing Killzone 1 on the PS2 and needed a character name, so we decided to put our names together and make Jaon (James, and Dion, pronounced Jay-on)
Of course, because we wer splitscreening, I made a second name for myself, as he went by Jaon, I tried to incorporate interesting letters, and came up with Vixez, which I originally went by.
Vixez is pronounced literally, Vicks-ez, but most interpretted it as Vicks-eez, which is wrong. I eventually changed my name to Jaon after years of putting up with mispronunciation...only to realize Jaon is commonly misread as Joan.
My xbox live Gamertag is Qu4r1tch, named after Colonel Miles Quaritch, the leader of the human military on Pandora, in Avatar.
I created a hybrid version of my first name and my second favourite Guillermo del Toro movie. I use it for just about everything.
Coincidentally it can be pronounced ROCK ON US!
An Orky spelling/pronunciation of Doctor, I like pain boys despite not playing orkz, and I love me some Doctor who....
I actually wanna get a single drop pod and mod it slightly into a Tardis...sadly...no money...or sonic screwdriver with which to acquire money...well...really if I had a sonic screwdriver I'd skip money and raid GW Warehouse...and find a cute female companion into Nerdy things to aid me in my quest...it is my personal opinion GW is going to be the cause of the prevention of the First Great and bountiful human empire....hmm I'm rambling..

But, oddly enough, it was taken, yet I seem to be the only touhou fan
My current name is my MTGO alias
Not any more my friend,
my name is Reisen (as in a lunatic (in both senses of the word) rabbit from touhou)
And tanith (my favorite regiment of imperial guard)
glad to see someone who knows the games here too
Mine's an acronym from my initials with an extra letter thrown in to make it assist pronunciation. Although everyone still gets it wrong. It's ZEH-fig.

Likely enough to get into an argument as it is.

The mystery!
Hotter than July? aye great album.
I assume it's the one involving the ole Equus ferus caballus. Although I might be wrong there as well.

Make that three.
*sips tea* uu-!
My name is the name of my all time favorite character from the touhou games.
The Raccoon is the greatest animal ever (ever) and (ever) BoA (ever) is (ever) also (ever) an (ever) awesome (ever) animal (ever) and BoA is my brotherhodd.. shhhh
Before the brotherhood I'd been using BoA for various things. Fluff, warhammer, Guild Wars, etc
the lord commissar part is cause im going to collect imperial guard and they are badasses. the klimino part is just a name i came up with and use for every username pretty much. if you see another klimino somewere else,its most likely me.
My name is just something I came up with when I first started to hang around the internet. It just popped into my head when I was thinking of a username for my e-mail back then.
My name came about when I was talking to my mates and explaining that Velociraptors weren't as big as they were made out to be in the Jurassic Park films (I love dinos ), during the conversation I said that Velocirators were about the size of a turkey and that the Raptors in the films were closer to Deinonychus... well one of my mates then mentioned the word Turkeysaurus Rex and we all burst out laughing, I swiftly claimed it as my forum name from then on
Azza007 was the username my dad gave me when I first joined the GW forum. Azza is a nickname an old Aussie PE teacher gave me based on my real name, Aaron, and it has stuck since, the number just one my dad thought I could remember.
Sennacherib was the son of assyrian king Sargon the second.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sennacherib I chose him as my forum name after reading an account of his slaughter of some of his foes in a great book called A History of Warfare, by John Keagan. It was one of the most ruthless sounding accounts of anchient warfare that i have ever read. Shocking in its violence to be honest.
Wiley is my moms maiden name my Grandpa was the most quick witted and tough guy i have ever met a coal miner for 40 years and working man wise and a Field Marshal just a standard name for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Marshal i name a lot of my models after friends and family members.
I love star wars and had recently read a book about an old sith warrior and how he became a powerful sith lord, his name was Darth Bane. It's called "path of destruction" it was the first in a trilogy.
In our Warhammer 40k group, I am infamous for my love of armored warfare and the ridiculous number of tanks compared to everyone else (24, the next highest is 9) including two baneblades. I also have a reputation for being a little eccentric, hence, The Mad Tanker!

Two and a half months later, I might be idly browsing this thread, and reply to this.
Horses are not involved. At least, not to my memory. Nor is the weather. Although you got one word right!
I was trying to come up with DA sounding name but was totally stuck then at some point was playing FF: Dirge of Cerberus and was fighting a boss called Azul the Cerulean. I thought it sounded kinda cool so i killed him and took his name.

You killed him, than took the poor mans name. You have gained my respect!

My surname is Badham, so when I was making an account for the roundtable of bretonnia, 'Duke' just seemed appropriate on a forum dedicated to knights and stuff, so DukeBadham was born, but I might ask to have it changed to CBodam, to tie in with the other forums I go on, and my old nickname, but thats another story. Or FreakydeakyGinger, due to my actions at school, but that is also another story, for another day
Mine's a rather childish version of my middle name, Bill. The extension -inator was mainly used as a silly gamer-name, but i ended up keeping it - just for kicks! <3
I was addicted to ra2 even when my friends liked other games. RA2 (NON EXPANSION) was the best one in my honest opinion.
and so whenever someone asks me my username I can reply Whatsit Tooya (for you idiots out there "what is it to you"). I also go by Nonya Byniss (None of your Business)
