Where did you get your 'Poly name from?

[reds4ever]

Pekkas thread got me thinking, how did you people pick your 'Poly names?

Mine pretty straight forward, I'm a Liverpool supporter and a socialist, so 'reds4ever'.

C'mon then lets 'ave 'em.....

[Pekka]

Mine is my real name. It's a winner name.

I think I've gone over this before

[Jon Shafer]

It sounded cool.

[Kassiopeia]

I think I had a chart of constellations hanging on the wall in my room. I took a glance at it, thought "that sounds neat", and made a decision I've been stuck with for over three years now.

How about "Antti"? We already have Ari (Rahikkala), Jaakko and Pekka.

you have an attitude problem?

but... if you must know. It's actually a shortened version of my original screen name. Dissident Aggressor. Technically that isn't my original screen name, as this is technically a DL. back in my day you couldn't change your screen name like you could now. So when I grew bored of one name, I created an entirely new screen name. Krushala was my original name. I have also used puaxant tuvip. I have also used Black Bart. not to mention my many logins I used for nefarious purposes.

back on topic. Dissident Aggressor is the name of a judas priest song. Slayer also did an excellent cover of this song. I just thought the title sounded cool, so I used it as my name. Aggressor doesn't really fit my personality, so I dropped it after about a year.

I think I actually vowed never again to give a serious reply in this kind of thread.

[Kassiopeia]

I think it's a funny story. Although not perhaps for the reasons you'd prefer it to be.

[Starchild]

It's the closest written translation of a transcendent memetic concept that the human mind can comprehend without bursting a blood vessel.

Or I though it sounded cool....

[Traianvs]

I like the Roman emperor Traianus, one of the greatest (military) leaders Rome's had.
It's trajanus with a J, because in dutch an i between 2 a's is written with a j.
I should change it

on every other forum my nickname is EvilBork: Orcs are evil. Bork is the name of an Orc. I love Orcs. I admit I was playing a lot of Age of Wonders 1 back then and was into fantasy a lot
