Where'd you get your nickname/handle?

[Scottman]

Looking at some of the user names on the board, I couldn't help but wonder how some of you folks came up with them. Some names are self-explanatory. Mine for example, is a no-brainer. My name is Scott, and when Rodney and I were hanging out in our college days, he just started calling me "Scottman" - although I think watching too much SNL might have had something to do with it as well. :)

How did you guys come up with your names? Is Ymaster really a "master of the Y"? How about Bort? C'mon guys. Fess up!

[Ymaster]

I'm not really sure anymore, collection of many things. It's just something I've stayed with for a few years now.

1. Poetr(y) master (Embarrassing past history in these forums)
2. Wh(y) master? (I do ask alot of questions)
3. You can say it like a bro, "Whad Up Ymaster!" =)
4. Registry Find-> Primarymaster

[Orangepeel]

Orangepeel comes from my favourite perfume oil, Satsuma, from The Body Shop. It smells devine.

It's just like the fragrant smell of a freshly peeled orange or clementine. How I love that smell! It make me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside :).

[3dGameMan]

3d·game·man (aka. the·video·geek)
noun.

One (Rodney Reynolds) who owns a Video Review site

One who plays a sport or game, especially skillfully or avidly.
One who practices gamesmanship.

2. Wh(y) master? (I do ask alot of questions)


Hehe. I once worked with a young lady who often used to say that she was feeling "antsey". One day when she asked me a lot of technical questions, I told her that she was more ascii (askey) than ansi. :)

[HalfMatt]

My name come from half-life I couldn't think of a name and I didn't want a generic name ya know? So I made up Half-Matt :D



btw 3dgm you sound YOUNG talking about high school and college and stuff like it was like yesterday do you mind revealing your "true" age :D. I dare not ask orangepeel :D (though i must say she looks young :))

[Morpheus Phreak]

Morpheus comes from of course THE MATRIX only the most kick ass movie ever made that showed hey computer geeks may just really be in a dream world and can really kick ass if they wake up and find out that the computers whooped our ass and we decide to take revenge........and Phreak.......well you just read what i wrote.....aint i a Phreak?

[Phalanx-Imawano]

My name is in two parts:

Phalanx - the name (or codename if you will) of the 20mm machine gun mounted on aircraft carriers as a last-ditch defense against antiship missles; said to be a shoot-anything-that-moves gun that never gives up until its target is dead or it runs out of ammo; reflects my fighting style in Quake3, Half-Life/Counterstrike, and other FPS games

Imawano - the name of a Ninja clan, and the surname of two of the characters, in my favorite fighting games, Rival Schools: United by Fate, and Project Justice. The guy in my avatar is actually the brother of one of those characters (though in the game this guy, in the avatar that is, has his mother's maiden name as his surname - complicated story).

[Richie]

Im not Creative :(

[msgwtco]

MSG are my initials. WTCO=Woodbury Telephone Communications, which is an internet service provider i used a long time ago.

[Artcwolf]

How and why did you choose the nick that you use?

Mine was because I liked wolves. When I first got on-line my ISP log-in name was greywolf; however, when I switched to Swbell as my ISP, greywolf was taken (big surprise).

They needed a username that was up to eight characters long. Well, since I was on the phone w/ them @ the time, the only wolf I could come up with was arcticwolf.

Yeah, longer than eight characters. So it got shortened to Artcwolf. For some reason (and the only regret I have w/ this username) many try to pronounce it as artsy-wolf.

What the hell is an artsy-wolf??? Does not even make sense. Oh, well. No biggie, I like my nick.

[wazman]

I picked mine because of my dad, actually. He's a teacher, and the kids call him Mr. Waz because his last name is so hard to pronounce. So I took that and made it into Wazman.

So that's how I came to be Wazman.

[Maarek]

I use to go by Leto alot, after the Character from DUNE. I'm a big Dune fan. But after 5 or so years, I decided on a change, and picked Maarek. another Character, from the game Tie Fighter. Maarek is also my main character in Earth and Beyond, and my avatar is a mug shot :)

[egarrard]

I was lazy and just used my email address. First initial and last name. At least I shouldn't forget it...

[The Disturbance]

i use "Crism" in everything but this forum....

[Xenomorph]

Well, at a couple forums i still go under Sephy 25(from FF7) or Atlas25(my Mech in mechwarrior 4) then people said it sucked and was unoriginal, so voila, Xenomorph arose(named after the creatures from Aliens)

[Monster811]

I cant remember why i chose this screenname, it was about 5 years ago...

[ch0g0nda]

I used ch0g0nda up untill recently. Chose that one night because I needed a name for a free online game a few of my friends and I were playing. Kinda stuck with me for 2 years.

[Raedwulf]

My Nickname is just the origin of my real name Ralph, Rædwulf is the Old Teutonic Man-wolf, since wolves are my favourite animal, it fit perfectly. I've had Raedwulf as my email address and as a user name since I was on the old compuserve forums.

[crazypiper]

My online name is CrazyCanuck, I picked this one for the forums cause I didnt think I'd like it here so I just made up a name. Picked Crazy from playing Quake3 I'd always be the one plowing into a room guns blazing without seeing if anyone was there, man that game was fun, and Canuck cause I'm Canadien.

[Maro]

Mine is from an old Hardware company I used to work for - they made your email prefix from the first two letters of your names. Any guesses to what mine is?

There were some real funny ones like SICO - I kind of liked the simplicity so I keep using it

:devil :devil :devil

[Digital Sin]

because i take the inverse of whatever anyone else does, and "analog virtue" just didnt sound right. :D

[JCYC5]

My complete name...

Jeff Chung-Yiu Cheng + my lucky number 5...

[WazLady]

I took mine off my hubby's...Since he was the "Man", I should be the "Lady". :heartbeat :heartbeat

I use "Libra" for everything else...

It's also a good nickname for a bunch of skiers who really turned on the world on it's ear in World cups and Olympic games in the 70's.
Ken Reid, Steve Podgorski, to name a few...
but you're probably too young to remember them ;)

[Scottman]

Well, mine is pretty obvious. Actually, Rod was the first one to start calling me "Scottman" (yes, in real life - not just online) and it has just kind of stuck ever since.

When I got bored with that I had some fun with a japanese-english dictionary and discovered that the word tantousha is japanese meaning 'the superior one' I like it...very suitable! :KICKASS

Too bad my name isn't jeff though....I am an Alex though...my MSN nick is Alex (the Great)

[dagwood70]

Mine came from a nickname that an older co-worker gave me when he tried to spit out my name one day the number I had to add to make it my Hotmail address...

[Orangepeel]

Orangepeel!

It's for my fave body oil perfume from The Body Shop. It's called "satsuma" and smells just like freshly peeled orange :).

Fruity citrus...mmmm yummy to the olfactory nerves :D!

[Phalanx-Imawano]

My current username is actually a revision of a previous one. The word Phalanx came about after I heard about the gun used by US Navy ships against anti-ship missles (it was called the Phalanx Gatling Gun). Imawano is the surname of a character of one of my favorite fighting games. I just put them together.

My current handle which appears in my signature came from two sources. Sailor came about as a result of my being an anime fan (I know a lot of you will probably think it's lame but even Sailor Moon is something I'm into nowadays, and that's where the "Sailor" part came from). Enlil is the supreme god of the earth in Sumerian Mythology, and I picked that name because it is kinda related to the leading man in the Sailor Moon series - Tuxedo Mask, who is also known as Prince Endymion, the prince of earth. My avatar is my rendition of my handle, showing Prince Endymion with a 7-pointed star on his forehead (that star is the symbol of Enlil as an earth diety, 7 pointed because in Sumerian mythology, Earth is the 7th planet, and apparently this is how the number 7 became such an important number).

well that what i saw from like 2 episodes i was forced to watch lol

I used to think of it the same way back when Transformers was my top favorite cartoon. Then recently I began looking into the entire storyline, as well as information about the original manga (Japanese comics), and saw it differently (the Manga depicts the characters very differently, as in they're more mature, even Sailor Moon herself who wasn't such a klutzy crybaby, and there's even a bedroom scene between her and Tuxedo Mask as in they're both naked in bed together - which was how Sailor Moon became pregnant with her daughter, Sailor Mini-Moon).

[chksix2002]

I got mine from my love of aviation (hence the f/a 18 avatar self portrait of my buddy) and my uncanny ability to get behind someone in online dogfighting (sims like falcon 4, il2,), always having to make them "check their six"

[thephenom]

Don't know whether this has been talked about before, but how did you come out with your nickname???

thephenom = The Phenom = The Phenomenon

1. An occurrence, circumstance, or fact that is perceptible by the senses.
2. pl. phe¡¤nom¡¤e¡¤nons
a) An unusual, significant, or unaccountable fact or occurrence; a marvel.
b) A remarkable or outstanding person; a paragon. See Synonyms at wonder.
3. Philosophy. In the philosophy of Kant, an object as it is perceived by the senses, as opposed to a noumenon.
4. Physics. An observable event.

So I thought it would be kinda cool if I called myself a Phenomenon. (Wow, talk about being ****y) Ya, so I've been using that name for a while. Now, I usually use that name or Employee #32.

[brinkecw]

ehh... just used my old college network ID... it's simple, easy to remember, and can be used many, many different places :spin

[Silent_Death911]

when i played nolf and ut2k3 i usually sneaked up on people and killed them in 1 shot without them turning around. also, im a hardcore sniper. so i created death silently (ok...a little lame). thus came the name Silent_Death911 (i dont know where the 911 came from....diling 911 when u get shot or something?).

I also have two other aliases I use in forums and games:

Quarantine yourself for the rest of the summer. Masks, gowns, hair nets and goggles are optional...and don't forget the sunblock!!"

[tantousha]

Well...for the postcount:

Tantousha is japanese for "The Superior one" and I found it by typing in random words into a japanese-english translator one night.

My favorite retired username has got to be the one I used for Half Life. I always used to use the scientist skin and was known on the servers for going on suicidal missions and just generally acting insane so people started calling me the drunk scientist and that name stuck until I stopped playing Half Life: The_Drunk_Scientist

*Cough*+1 :KICK ASS*/Cough*

Your nick, that is. This topic has probably been done before, but that was before my time. Most of you are post fiends anyway, so... My nick, Quality Control, came to me in the form of an album/song (http://boss.streamos.com/real/interscope/jurassic5/qualitycontrol/video/qualitycontrol/00_qualitycontrol.ram)by Jurassic 5. Check 'em (http://www.jurassic5.com/index.html) out if you don't know.

that was some pretty good anime
ok...now i gotta admit.....that was some pretty damn good anime. there were ever some times when the characters were real actors being filmed...didnt even look like anime.....

[SNAFU]

True, Final Fantasy was a great movie, heck! I saw it 10 times in theatres in honor of the 10 Final Fantasy games (I know there's more but they're not really Final Fantasies) and me being a big fan of Final Fantasy. I only had one complaint about the movie though: the story line SUCKED!!! As if they tried to shove too much in an hour and 40 mins.

hahaha...

I don't talk crap here... at least I've been titled "God of watercooling" LOL! :D

[abb1]

Abb is my initials. I first started using it in NTN Trivia and it has stuck with me ever since. I have used this handle in gaming and forums. Now everybody just knows me as Abb. I use Abb1 if Abb is already taken (which it is, or was, in most cases).

God of Watercooling? That's pretty cool...

I think my official title here is Ladies' Man - King of the Ladies... :)

[Raghnall]

Totaly off topic... but can the mods change our title... say for JCYC5, "HARDCore member" to "God of Watercooling"
I think that would be cool that if you get a title from the members, like JCYC5 and Wazman have, that they could get a mod to chnage it to the title given.

I know I am confussing to read, but I think (hope) some of you will get what I'm at.

[wazman]

I know Rodney can do it - he changes the titles of the women of the board to 3GM Babe if they ask him to...

I know some boards allow you to enter your own title after a certain number of posts - on Rage3d it's 600 - but I don't know if that's something that this board software can do automatically or if it's something that has to be coded specially...

Do any of the mods know the answer to this one? Or Rod? I think it would be cool to do, but if it's not possible it's no biggie... Perhaps one of the mods can answer this one...

[XxFaeryOnFirexX]

good question. I was wondering the same thing as I wanted to complete my Roger Smith theme and have my caption as The Negotiator.

However that would not quite go along with the 3gm theme.
