Because some idiot had taken Shiva.

I have been known as Shiva for 6 years now !!!after i played the CL cup in counterstrike 2 years ago i finally thought i had saved my name by comming 2, but no, some idiot had taken it......so i had to settle with my u.s. character name, Shivadur.

Welllllllll Originally I wanted Anubis but some invader skank alread had it. It's my TFC handle and has been for years.

Sooooooo.

Darran Druid - I picked Darran cos me & a m8 wanted dorky names for new chars.. he picked Trevor and i Picked Darran.. And the Druid part cos well I'm a Druid :). Kinda Rhymes aswell.

Iemfig Rolls - Iemfig was a Auto generated name and for ages ppl in my guild were saying Lemfig are u anon cos i can't PM u :twak: & the Rolls Part cos It's like Fig Rolls :D

Micic TheMighty - Well when I 1st started in DAoC/excal/Hibs it was the name of my ikle 1st char a warden that joined Na Fianna but i deleted him. Then revamped it for the new char i made. And the "TheMighty" part is cos Joxer is my idol :m00:

Boomii ManaBang - Well i thought I wanna have a mana spec chanter.. PBAOE = BOOM! so i named it Boom, but that was taken so i added a couple more letters. ;) & the lastname well I'm specced in Mana and i go BANG :D

note : Anubis came about cos my original Online name was Jackal and the and the symbol of the egyptian god Anubis is a Jackal & also he is 1 of the gods of the underworld. So i renamed myself to Anubis.. Cool heh! :D

If u cba to read all i typed .. I don't care .. :)

I once met a man........

Garthan= errr....umm im not sure, i think it just sort of happened, in fact i dont think it was generated but i don't remember typing it into the name field :confused:

Rocksmasher= Comes from Dr Terible's House of Horrible, in which there's a line: I once meet a man was crushing small dogs in the palm of his hand, when i asked him why he said 'because i can....... and i dont like small dogs" i was talking to a RL friend while i was killing small walking rocks when i heard the quote, and was looking for a last name, hence Rocksmasher.

Nartag= Garthan backwards, ok so its bad spelling but thats not the point.

LoveCactus= If you've ever spent any time with me in /gu you'll know why, if not ummm.....yeah.

Name stealing

Thread just reminded me of a really funny incident in game. Someone joined our group and then our bard suddenly said, "you have to choose" we said "what?" he said "you have to choose", "me or him" we said "why?!" he said "because he stole my name!!"...the conversation got quite long, but the basics behind it were:
The bard had used the name in other games and in DAoC beta.
The new guy had bought the game 2 weeks after release and chosen the name, having had no previous contact with the bard.
The bard who had the game from release tried to use the name obviously not his first character and was really angry that it was already taken, so angry in fact that upon seeing the new guy join the group with "his" name, got in a big stress.
The bard acctually wanted the new guy to delete his lvl 18 character so he could have the name back!!!
In the end the bard quit. We wern't going to kick the eldritch out just because someone wanted his name.

Pretty funny eh?

There's some wierd people out there.

Well,

Impact I chose because he's a troll skald using 2handed hammers, it kinda seemed to fit in regards to him come running at 80 mph and swinging that big blunt weapon.

As for Kenyan, well, I didn't really know what to pick so I looked at som gaelic names, and Kenyan could be translated to "Blond" so I just made him with white hair :)

Neither names have any resemblance (sp?) to my RL name tho.

Tzeentch, The Lord of Change, Changer of Ways, a Chaos God in Warhammer Fantasy, just a neat name for a mage I felt.

Aenarion, the first High Elf Pheonix King in the High Elf history, and an absolutely kick ass character, for my tank.

Saadyst.. well.. not too hard that one.

Evil Rodent

The name of a (long-dead) pet rat with an evil disposition and wonky legs.

A name that has served well through all my Tribes and Tribes 2 days...

..although I do remember an admin in a Tribes league match saying to his fellow admins that he though 'BadJelly' was the worst name he had ever seen.

made me smile.....
