Byronas 10-25-2001 10:51 AM

Write down here why you have chosen your nickname!
I chosen mine because one of my friends used to call me Byron cause my hair were like Lord Byron's. Then he started calling me Byronas which sounds more Greek.

Where there are monsters and barbarians there will be Byronas fighting against them.

Neb 10-25-2001 10:54 AM

It started out with me needing a name for a BG2 sorcerer, I read a few fantasy books to get some inspiration and came across the name: Nebucadnezzar, some time later, where I was looking for a name for a Fighter/Thief, I was too lazy to make up a new name, so I just reversed the old one and got: Razzendacuben, which is the name I use whenever I need to create Fighter/Thief, it also spawned two new names: Dacuben(My Paladin name.) and Razzen dac Uben, making the "Uben" his last name and the "dac" something that ties it together.

Ronn_Bman is a shortened version of my name Ronn Brigman. Now is that original or what...lol.

I know everyone else can't be expect to show my level of genius, but I would also enjoy hearing why people chose their IW's name.

skywalker 10-25-2001 11:09 AM

Well, Loki is one of my favorite Villians and I always name my thieves in games that.

In the comicbook series Sandman (my alltime favorite) Neil Gaiman has Odin refer to him as Loki, Skywalker. I thought it was neat, so I've been using that name on most of the forums I join. At yahoo clubs I'm lokivt, someone else had skywalker.

And I do like Star Wars too!

I wonder if there is a connection between Luke and Loki. Wonder if Lucas was a reader of Norse Mythology or if it's just coincidence?

On another forum someone once asked if my last name was Hammil! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Debaser 10-25-2001 11:22 AM

quite a simple answer to this, really. "Debaser" is a kickass Pixies song.....and i though it just sounded like a badass IW screen name. Think about the meaning of it....to debase.....kind of a grimness to it

Now for the nicknames I have that I didn't pick:

"Strudelhead" is from my neice, Victoria
"Dammit Mike" is from my ex-wife
"MichaelPaulElizabethStephan" is what my mom calls me when she is upset
"Roeaw" is what my cat Trotter calls me
"Rabe" is my nickname from the Army
"Smartass" is from my best friend's mom
"Dumbass" is from my best friend
"Mister Monkey Fingers" is from my girlfriend

I hope that gives a better idea of why I don't respond to nicknames.

Cloudbringer 10-25-2001 01:06 PM

I had been lurking and wanted to answer a post on the old BG2 board. Suddenly needed a nick to register. Began thinking.. wanted something pretty with a bit of mystery, thought of Storm (x-men) and that suddenly got me thinking weather.. and Cloudbringer sounded elfish.. so I just typed that in and voila! Cloudbringer was born.. now of course I started collecting new nicks about a week after I began posting so now I've got a couple bags of holding full of nicks.. all of which have some story or other person involved! HAHAHA!

Most memorable for me is the first one, Storm Queen. Memsy decided it fit.. you'd have to ask him why..*snicker* And my currently most often used nick is Cloudy, a gift from our Bard, Yorick. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif Mayhap it was raining that day or most likely he didn't feel like typing out Cloudbringer! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Legolas the Elven Archer 10-25-2001 04:10 PM

My BG1 and BG2 character numero uno was named after the neato elf from Tolkien's work, and as I came to this forum looking for BG1 & 2 advice, I adopted my adopted name http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Then I slowly got sucked deeper and deeper into GD...

Sazerac 10-25-2001 04:38 PM

Sazerac -> A cocktail created in New Orleans during the 19th century consisting of wormwood (Absinthe), bitters, and sugar. Later, when Absinthe was outlawed as an illegal narcotic, Anisette was substituted, along with whiskey. The original Sazerac bar still operates in New Orleans, and is also the namesake for a type of jazz that emerged during the 30's and 40's.

Why I chose this: First, I'm originally from Louisiana, and wanted a name that was unique to my home state. Also, I love that form of jazz music. Secondly, it's a great-sounding wizard or sorceror name, and one I've used for my characters (and NPC's when DM'ing) PnP games. It also carried over well to Wizardry, where characters were required to have names of 7 characters or less; hence, Sazerac fit very well. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

hey, i think that Kaz is a cool name!

Oh, i suppose i should pick why i chose SSJ4Sephiroth even though i could pull an Azzy and just claim that i am too powerful to do this... oh well, i need to occupy the time! okay then, SSJ4Sephiroth began as my name at BGDungeon. and it began there as i was looking for a name of great power... Sephiroth. and to add to that great power, something from the other great love of my life at that time known as DBZ, SSJ4. SSJ4Sephiroth is a being of incredible power, so dont screw with me! not very imaginative though...

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Moiraine 10-26-2001 06:58 AM

Well, I chose Moiraine (from the "Wheels of Time" Robert Jordan's series, for those who haven't read it yet http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif) because :

- Like me, she is small and brunette

- Unlike me, she can have every person on earth do exactly what she wants (wish I knew how http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif )

And voila ! (To speak like Clouddy http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif)

Oh, and digging a bit more in personal history : I've long been 'Modesty' everywhere, from the 'Modesty Blaise' comics. My hubbie keeps telling me that name is plain ridiculous, so when I registered in here, I thought why not change, for once ? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

And that's how, for the first time in my computer life, I am not known as Modesty ...

One must bear in mind, though, that DBZ (of course) originated far before Pokemon, and it should be: DBZ reminds me of Pokemon. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
Dunno how I got my nickname.. Really don't http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif But i think it's this:
I found this forum when looking for a forum which could answer my questions concerning BG2, so I got there, signed up, but then I had to figure out a name.
Because the boy that lives across the street has a N64, and I'm babysitting there pretty often, we play a lot together, and I also helped him with both Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask.. I think that brought the name Link up in my head. I was surprised no one had taken it, though. Then again, I'm pretty notorious now..http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif Wonder how that happened http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
