Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2489 Joined: 29 Nov 2007    | It's the name of the main protagonist from my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie 'Rear Window'. Basically, the guy has a busted leg and all he can do is look out a window all day. Because he's so bored all the time, he starts to observe patterns and actions of other people in the apartments around his window. It gives him this distorted perspective of the world that both lets him help others but also gets him into a lot of trouble. That pretty much sums up my outlook on the world. He's also shagging Grace Kelly, which is still the hottest actress ever to be on screen, in my opinion. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 527 Joined: 23 Jul 2008    | I came up with the name Eise back in high school, where my art doodles started churning up a recurring character, to whom I gave the same name. Back then I was constantly stoned on Final Fantasy, and this character reflected that in a big way. Crazy hairdo, giant sword, goofy-looking vest (though to my credit I did give him an undershirt), basically the full JRPG package. I took it a step further though and gave him an Ice affinity (guess now how Eise is pronounced). I still doodle out this character to this day, though he has since been toned down significantly. My latest rendition of him is the avatar you see today. Anyway, I am the "man" who created "Eise," so... there ya go. |
BANNED  Posts: 3682 Joined: 23 Oct 2007   | Mine's as boring as you can get: the letters "RAK" are my initials, and when I couldn't use these simple letters for my computer gaming purposes, I had to add a tag at the end. The tag "theUndead" sounded cool, and eventually, I ended up making up an epic backstory which was intended to be used in a computer game that I was supposed to program. Pity I couldn't program any graphics until I learned about the Allegro game library for C and C++, and with the knowledge of its existence, I hope to finally learn how to program some sort of game.

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1409 Joined: 10 May 2008  | its a long story, but my real name is Fredrik, and it started out as my neighboor started to call me Fronkensten after the movie Young Frankenstein, then he just shortened it to Fronken, and ever since then thats what i've been know as, im almost 19, and i've had Fronken as my nickname since i was 4, so almost 15 years i've been using this nick, both on the internet, in games, and in real life, none of my friends call me Fredrik, everyone knows me as Fronken. |
Paperboy  Posts: 18 Joined: 29 Aug 2008   | I used to play with lego a lot when I was younger and at about twelve I realized that, sooner or later, lego was going to make a James Bond inspired series of sets,(they did: 'http://agents.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx') and I wanted to be the first person with the name. I've used it ever since. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1442 Joined: 22 Apr 2008    | My name is just that. A name. I came up with it a few years ago, and it just sounded right. Zemalac sounds cool, and can easily be shortened to Zem if I'm feeling lazy. I use it for pretty much everything I play. Aside from that, I tend to collect names I think are cool and try to create characters around them. Clockman came from a mistake my friend made while trying to remember the name of the Hope diamond, and I thought it sounded like a villain. Stych is the most frightening villain in a D&D game I play in. Seriously, the man is terrifying. Remerod is another random name I came up with a while ago. And First Spark is a play off of my real name, which I'm not going to tell you. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 505 Joined: 11 Jan 2008     | A slight alteration of my other forum name, WhiteFlagofWar- just felt like doing it a little differently. In any online game or forum nowadays I will either be 'White Fang' or 'White Flag'. 'White Flag of War' comes from Futurama's own ever-smug Zapp Brannigan. It might also have something to do with the fact that I am very white (as in practially pale skinned). |
On the Record  Posts: 5587 Joined: 3 Mar 2008  | I concieved the word 'Krunk' at a school trivia night, where we needed a team name. We just came up with a string of random, gibberish, and then, a single syllable hit me. "How about, 'The Kings Of Krunk?" I said. Anyway, that name became a legend, and over the years, the name has altered somewhat as my pseudonym, such as: Krunkelmotov The Disciple of Krunk - Which I still use Krunktacular - An adjective that means 'better than awesome.' The Lunch Krunktime Trio - A band name we made. We were hungry at the time, so yeah. And, finally... Lord Krunk. After that, I looked it up in Wikitionary, and found out that it was internet slang for 'Drunk.' It pissed me off a little, because it made an awesome pseudonym sound low-life. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 171 Joined: 1 Sep 2008   | merf is a family nick-name. 1350...is a bit more interesting. I used to have an obnoxious friend who would always answer the phrase 'Fuck you!' with 'You couldn't afford me.' So one day when he told me 'Fuck you!' I decided to be a dick and name a price...$13.50. Randomness is your friend. :) Anyway it was funny cuz he didn't know how to respond, and then when everyon had pagers it came back as my number to let my friends know who paged them. After that it stuck. And yes, I know...I'm cheap. :( |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2783 Joined: 13 Feb 2008   | Well I usually use either Meatloaf or Lig. Lig came from an accident. I was going to make one about logging, but I hit "i" instead of "o". It just kinda stuck with me. As for the other one, well... I would do anything for love... but I won't do that... I actually have quite a nickname, though. My last name begins with a G, so my middle school math teacher used to call me Young G. Well, my peers couldn't call me young, so they just called me G. Being that I was the only G, it turned into The G. It really stuck. I know of a few people who probably don't even know my real name. Heck, even some of my high school teachers called me The G. |

Anonymous Source Posts: 6 Joined: 16 Apr 2008 | Llaffer: In the early 90's, there was one BBS (Bulliten Board System) (if you don't know what these are, ask your father) that I used the name "Larry Laffer" (again, ask your father if you don't know which game character that game from.) Anyway, back in the day, (Pre-windows95) filenames were limited to 8 characters, so I had to come up with an 8-character-or-less version, so it was LLaffer (Like using your first initial with the complete last name). Over the years, the double capital L morphed into just a single capital, or sometimes no capital, depending on how I type it that day, though the double-L remains, so now it's Llaffer. |

During this time my friends and family started jumping out at me to suprise me by saying,"Attack Of The Zombies!!!" I twisted it and made it my own by adding my name. And thus a legacy was made.:P |
