Title: Why did you choose your nickname?
Post by: Betaknight on December 13, 2012, 11:16:10 pm
So basically explain why you have the nickname you have right now.

Ill start:
I choose betaknight cause I thought going with Metaknight would be to mainstream, so I choose Betaknight for the Greek letter i learned in chemistry and history.

Well this one I picked completely random. We started doing historical names in the 92nd, and as a high-ranked officer I of course changed my name.

Pretty much everywhere on the interwebz I use the name DaSun. Sune is my RL-name and Da is just super gangsta ;) Nah it pretty much came up randomly.

petschulat, well... that's a collaboration of two names and a story I will tell. Before my family was started (400+ years ago, proof of this, I have stuff from our family from over the years), there was a Bear Hunter, named Thorsten Petter. He was in love with a girl of a shoe/boot maker, Helga Schuler. They hooked up, got married, and made their names into Petschulat.

Petschulat actually means, Bear Hunting Shoemaker.

Tried to make a WoW account 4 years ago, and I couldn't figure out a name that was taken.

So, a Rock... and it knocks..
So Rocknok; However that was taken, so I had to put a 2 in :P

Other nicknames I use is "Maximilian", And it's one of my favorite names, just because (and have used in WoW characters).

"Hasan" is yet another Alias, however It's my real first name.

Post by: Menelaos on December 17, 2012, 03:49:39 am
Menelaus (Ancient Greek: Μενέλαος, Menelaos) was a king of Mycenaean (pre-Dorian) Sparta, the husband of Helen of Troy, and a central figure in the Trojan War. He was the son of Atreus and Aerope, brother of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and, according to the Iliad, leader of the Spartan contingent of the Greek army during the War. Prominent in both the Iliad and Odyssey, Menelaus was also popular in Greek vase painting and Greek tragedy; the latter more as a hero of the Trojan War than as a member of the doomed House of Atreus

Sweeney is a name I received from an in-game bot in the D-Day Valve/steam-game. I logged on one day with my old name(Which I can't remember anymore) and after five kills the bot suddenly decided to change my name to "Sweeney". I couldn't change it so I ran around in several games in 3 years with "Sweeney". Now, I use it for practically everything.

I later made the name my own by changing the first name into my Middle name: James Frederickson, and there we go.

Very simple story for my name.

Post by: KillerMongoose on December 20, 2012, 12:17:51 am
After watching several videos of mongooses fighting and killing cobras I developed an interests, then I watched a video of two mongooses fighting off a lion! Yes, I said a lion :P their tenacity, speed, and fury despite their small size captivated and amazed me and I named myself KillerMongoose in Warband and the name stuck, my first game with that name I went on an amazing killstreak and was recruited to the clan HGN "Hyper Gaming Network" which later became BrC "Brethren Crusaders" and that was among my top 3 best warband experiences 1. Being leader of the 7de 2. Being part of HGN/BrC 3. Being in the 13th Rifles, in particular when I was Sandgod's 1st lieutenant

However, as my love for Belgium grew, I had a great vision while running through the snowy forests of Swedish Town in MM, I was reminded vaguely of the Skyrim trailer. I saw visions of Dutch-Belgian troops fighting of the storm of French soldiers and a Belgian wearing the helmet of dragonborn stepped forward. He was Wovakhiin, Waffleborn!

You should have acted,
They are already here,
The Belgian scrolls told of their return,
When the time after France opened,
When the sons of Europe would spill their own blood,
But there is one they fear,
In their tongue he is Wovakhiin,
Waffleborn!

My family is from Savo and i never get called a hick, i live in helsinki tho... And i go to savo many times a year.

And my name is silly and stupid since one i would like to use has nordic alphabets so no hope using it, especially when i'm somewhat known with this name.
My name means "Soldier" in Finnish.

"Gott schütze den König!" And the battlecry ingame is right spelled/yelled. ;)
(don't translate the schütze(n) with marksmen, here it means "save the King")

Hm, I was playing a Seven Years' War mod for Warband and was searching for an historical accurate name for my multiplayer char... well, okay... didn't have to search it. I just thought: "Seven Years' War? Frederick the Great (Friedrich der Große in german)!"

Quote from: Cheat Code Central: Halo cheats Xbox
Random message
Go to "Settings" at the main menu, then press Y to create a new profile. Enter ".fortune" (note the period character) as a name. As soon as you enter the last letter of the name, a strange random message will appear. Every time you enter this name, you will get a different message. ".fortune" is a reference to a feature on the Linux/Unix operating system.

Looks like the cheat was somewhat updated. In any case, I typed it wrong the first time and I forgot the period. Me being as lazy as I am, I kept the profile anyway and used the name ever since.

Then there is also Forchune/Forchan for my reputation of being a channer. And Blokkermedewerker was a name I added during the NWEC, we were adding low-pay job descriptions to our name.

My second name was DOSdestroyer.  I was quite a big fan of breaking into computer systems, so DOS (an old OS), destroyer, I think you can piece together where I got the name.
My third name was RivenX.  You'll see me in NA servers with that name and the 2ndCS tags on with it. 
My fourth name, which is what I have now, is MrRiv.  A group of friends and I went around messing with people, changing our names to Mr(shortened name).  I ended up liking MrRiv, so it stuck.

Originally had the rather generic name of Xilon. In my old Battlefield clan I used to troll the forum a bit, one of my more prevalent methods was to post random pictures of men and women(mostly men with impressive equipment) with short shorts randomly in conversations. It went so far that one of our members, a 45 year old man from Tennessee that will forever be in my heart started calling me shortshorts on a regular basis. It kind of caught on so I decided to stick with it. I started using Shorty in NW due to my name being a bit too long with tags.

When my dad started doing WWII reenacting back in '95 he had to pick a German last name as his persona. So he took a Germanic version of our last name "Landree" derived from "Landry", Landry originating from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France (or Germany, if you swing that way in a nationalistic sense). So I also use it for reenacting and I chose it since I joined a Prussian unit for NW originally.

But I have other aliases. "Nil" from "Mr. Nil" because I couldn't think of a name. Then "Kyyneltya" being a mashup of three words I can't remember and people would just call me "Kyyn" or "Ky" for short. Also way back in the day went by "Deadtomb" after a frustrating 30 minutes of not being able to get a screen name for some game. Also "Mathias2992" because at the time I thought Mathias was the coolest name ever and then 2992 for April 29th, 1992 mah birfdae :DDD Also had "Seither25" for another game, Seither being a weird off shoot of the band, "Seether" and the 25 because it needed numbers in it. :c

Wow, surprised I remembered so many from super duper years ago.

Hm... well I've always been a scout in every game I play. I remember one time I was playing Battlefield 2142 and was in cloak, and one of my friends asked me "where the hell I was hiding".

So I popped in-front of him, and told him "I'm not hiding, I'm just invisible! Obviously." I then proceeded to fill him up with my carbine magazine.

And which my name was born, better than my old username. *shivers*

My RL name is Mathias, my friends found that the name was too long so they decided to call me Mas instead.
After that I just removed the s and put zZ instead which is pronounced almost the same really ^^

My login name is gruntmas, which I use since I was like 11 or something, because login names need to be longer than 3 chars I added grunt in front of mas.

Right so I was playing CoD4 back in the day with some of my close friends and there was this guy in the game named Private Pepper. Me and my buddies being the curious gents we are asked him "where is Sgt Salt?" Sure enough a minute later a friend of his came in with the name Sgt Salt. So fast forward to when I first got this game, I was some how reminded of this story and chose Salt! :3

When i was an NW ranker nub, I joined my first NW regiment, the 87th Irish Fusiliers and the majority were British. In an attempt to impress them, I made my name Howe after the famous Sir William Howe of the American Revolution. To this day, i want to change my name desperately but people have been calling me it for years and it would only cause chaos amongst my regiments. THANKS 87th for ruining my life with this stupid ass name, jk.

2. "Bodya" . That's what friends and acquaintances call me in real life.
3. "Ceed" . It's the name of a character from an Ice Age cartoon.
