The "Explain Your Username" Thread

[LordShiva]

I've wondered about what some of them could mean ("Brachy-pride," "Kuciwalker," "Cort Haus," etc.). Why don't you tell us?

Mine's easy: Shiva is my first name, and since it was already taken when I signed up, and since I'd lost the password to my original SirShiva, I settled on Lord.

[Adagio]

I've already got a few threads about my nicknames, but I guess everybody already knows about those, so no need to talk more about it

You're still stuck with the "posts don't count in OT" mindset

[Asher]

Unofficial original middle name. Long story. Not my middle name now, but friends in highschool called me by it as there were 10000 Davids at my school.

[SlowwHand]

I think I know Brachy's, but he doesn't know I know.

President of the International Gnome Society.

[-Jrabbit]

Mine's just a foreshortening of Jackrabbit, a nickname bestowed upon me in college (tall, thin, distance runner). Yes, my first name IRL is Jack.

[Ari Rahikkala]

It's my name

[Arrian]

Arrian is the anglicization of Lucius Flavius Arrianus (of Nicomedia). I read a history of Alexander the Great by Arrian in college and really enjoyed it. When I played CivII, if I was Rome or Greece, I would use Arrian or Arrianus. I originally registered here to find out more about making a CivII scenario.

-Arrian

[Wittlich]

"Wittlich" (pronounced: Vit-lish) is the name of a German town on the Mosel River that I fell in love with while I was stationed in Germany...so I assumed it's name as my own handle.

I also just used my usual civ ruler name as my poly name. Not sure that was the best idea in retrospect.

[aneeshm]

My username is simply my name and the first letter of my surname tagged together.

Aneesh Mulye turns into aneeshm.

[Chemical Ollie]

Ollie is the English pronounciation of my Swedish name, and my education is in Chemical Engineering.

And it sounds almost like one of the badguys in Iraq, and I like to call myself funny badguy names when playing Civ. Like "Cunnulingus of the Perversians"

[Ninot]

Ninot is my last name, Tonin, spelt backwards

[Nikolai]

Nikolai is my second first name.

[Flubber]

Flubber???


Well its that material in a disney movie that adds energy to itself so it bounces back and can even fly.

I was at a time in my life where a lot of things were crappy and the symbolism of bouncing back harder than one got pushed down . . . well it just seemed appropriate.


Or maybe i was drunk and pushed some random keys-- I'm not really sure anymore
