Origin of Your Online Nick?

[BloodOmen]

 

[Edmond]

To be fair you do look like Noel, no hair on top and a shit goatee

You sir...... are a cunt

 

[JBP|]

I've had lots of different names for lots of different games. JBP| stands for Johnny Big Pants (a slight variation on Johnny Fart Pants from Viz) which i used in Planetside.
The other name I use on XBL is Locutus Of Bored (first used in STV EF).

 

[Raven]

my ex girlfriends mum used to refer to me as "Big G"

I bet she did. Is that why you split up?

 

[Deebs]

You sir...... are a cunt

Hah! I am catching you up on the hair loss!

 

[Everz]

DAoC.

Eversmall as it was a Lurikeen who would 'for'Ever'be'small. Shit I know.

 

[Angrist]

Named my first Daoc character, a dwarf warrior, Angrist. It's a name i picked up from Silmarillion.
Later i rolled a Runemaster i wanted to name him after the Primus song Frizzlefry but i misspelled it and became Fizzlefry. Which eventually just became Fizzle.
So yeah.. Fizzle it's been ever since.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Healer in DAoC, means doctor, the old. is a remnant from the "goold old days" of the forums

 

[Zenith.UK]

I was looking for a nick for games on my Amiga and wanted something that stood out. Anything with a Z, X, Q or V stands out and my favourite character in 2000AD was Zenith. It also has the advantage of shortening to ZEN for arcade game initials.

This pic summarises it perfectly...

 

[Lakih]

Mine was from DaoC random name generator.

 

[Access Denied]

I use a few names online.

Access Denied because I like it.

Ravenxheart because Ravenheart was taken (Title of a book by David Gemmell)

ChuffysRevenge actually has some meaning. About 10 years ago my mate called me Chuffy because I laughed (Once I might add!) and it sounded like I was chuffing apparently. He was also a practical joker. So in response to one of his jokes the rest of us borrowed some clothes off his sister when he was drunk, got him dressed, drove him to the local town center and left him there. Was known as Chuffy's Revenge.

Get called Badger irl because I'm going white on top and look like a Badger.

 

[Lamp]

Two reasons

1. When I was going for my 1st dan grading, I had 3 ppl with knives rush me. Took the first two down pretty quickly, disarmed the third guy, threw a punch, pulled it as you're supposed to do, but for some reason he wasn't getting the idea and tried to bear hug me, so I punched him in the face and he went down like a sack of spuds. Afterwards, some of the guys started calling me "lamper"...(and yes I passed!)

2. Erm...I quite like lamps...

 

[Job]

Did it turn you on.

 

[old.user4556]

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Stop derailing the thread you cunt!

 

[FuzzyLogic]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_logic

Pretty much this, also, my own logic isn't exactly precise.

 

[caLLous]

I was mumbling about changing my name to something less shit 6 years ago. Nothing's changed.

 

[mycenae]

Mycenae was my first ever WoW char, and Vae introduced me to WoW and subsequently to here, so I used the same name. Its an ancient greek spelling of a city, and I just liked it. I originally wanted Smeghead.....but it was taken, as was Chickiebabe which is what a friend used to call me. Nursee007 which is another online alias I use kinda gives away my profession so have never used it on WoW.

I went through a stage of calling my WoW chars obscure medicine names like Sildenafil (trade name for Viagra!) and Milrinone (vasodilator.) Then I became known as Vae's missus, so started using MissusVae and various other connotations of it, and hve done so every since with other online games.

Incidentally, Vae says he can't answer this thread because he doesn't know why he uses Vae....I thought he once told me it was a shortening of Vae Victus which translates as 'woe to the vanquished' but he denies it....so instead I'll just assume he's too old now to remember its origins!

 

[mooSe_]

Me and by brother thought moose was a hilarious animal and name for an animal when I was like 10 years old. We made an account called Moose_971 on the msn gaming zone so we could play age of empires II. He didn't continue to play for very long but I never stopped playing so it stuck as my name. Actually I still think the word 'moose' and moose in general are pretty funny.

I asked Deebs about changing my name but he ignored me.

 

[Cerb]

DAoC.

Eversmall as it was a Lurikeen who would 'for'Ever'be'small. Shit I know.

Shit why does Eversmall sound so familiar. Were you in IA?

 

[Everz]

Shit why does Eversmall sound so familiar. Were you in IA?

Naw.

Alliance of Power/Terra Dominus/Draconis Allumni were the only guilds I was ever part of, though I did know plenty of the irish bunch that were in IA. Prodical, Microhard etc etc.

 

[Sydrik]

Completely unoriginal. My surname is Syder, people called me Syd at highschool and one mate called me Sydrik.It stuck.

 

[Yoni]

I played elite force heavily and was a twat in disi, I had random names at the time however for some reason in gs chat rooms I was constantly being called a Cnut... My name is a more spiritual translation of that word and sounded a bit more girly so became Yoni... Yonisan was a name given to me in irc by an inhabitant of bw ;/

 

[Hawkwind]

Hawkwind was my callsign in Flight Sims after the very old rock band. Gets taken quickly in most MMO's so I usually go for Sci Fi name chars like Feyd or Muah'dib from Dune. Used SPG is a few games from the Vivian's Special Patrol Gerbil in the Young Ones .

 

[Shagrat]

I just nicked an orcs name out of Lord of the Rings, so it was either going to be Shagrat or Grishnak.

 

[pikeh]

from Snatch.

I hate it now though, it was funny 10 years ago.

Wanna be EscapePlan; as in, The Dillinger Escape Plan.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, that's much better.

 

[Yaka]

One or both of these is a lie... In 6 years, we may get a new version of the truth.

well first one was spin on the truth, back then i was kinda ashamed i was a slow learner when i was little. if i remember correctly he did spill coffee on the register then decided to give out nifty names. i am preety sure the guy was inlove with the dr who who had rainbow brolly as well.

 

[Cerb]

Naw.

Alliance of Power/Terra Dominus/Draconis Allumni were the only guilds I was ever part of, though I did know plenty of the irish bunch that were in IA. Prodical, Microhard etc etc.

Ohhhh cool thats funny. I used to play with them at a lan cafe called Clan with Howley (the only name I can think that he used was a nighshade called Invisibletank) ,Jimmy (punishment), Microhard (the most sweary man I've ever met) and them.

Howley is actually one of the groomsmen at my wedding in August!
