Where do all the Nicknames stand for?? - Page 5

Yanez · 02-04-2003, 03:09 PM

When I registered on this forum I thought that I'm the only Slovene here. So I decided to take a most common Slovene male name Janez (Janez = John in English) and replace J with Y so it looks cooler and english pronounciation of that name became very similar to the slovene pronounciation. And no, my real name is not Janez anyway.

Oh, and welcome to IW Blodulv and Stratos! [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

Imrahil · 02-04-2003, 09:38 PM

Imrahil is a minor character in The Lord of the Rings (Prince of Dol Amroth, though! [img]smile.gif[/img] ). I'm not sure why that name just kinda stuck in my head, but I liked it. Plus, I pretty much never have to worry about someone else taking the name when I want to use it on a forum.

Judas Maccabeus · 02-04-2003, 10:49 PM

Judas Maccabeus: 2nd century BC Jewish rebel and king--revolted against the Syrians, who controlled Judea at the time. Further details may be read in 1st and 2nd Maccabees (in the Bible).

I think i made up Guyan Sethe from a combination of names that i read in the White Dwarf. Used it on one of my first BG character and it worked well for me.

Masklinn · 02-05-2003, 05:36 AM

Masklinn is the prime character of the Terry Pratchett's Gnomes Trilogy (Truckers - Diggers - Wings). Really good books, supposedly for children, but with plenty of interest for adults.

What I really like is when people call me "Mask" [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the Welcome!

He-Man´s buddy you say...hmm, maybe it was there I got the name from. It has been lurking in my head for quite some time now. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I knew that sounded familiar. I couldn't quite place it.

Sever is the tag i have used since the days of Doom. Simple, effective and cool. I am surprised that i've never come across anyone else using it. It was inspired by my favourite Doom level designer Sverro Kvernmo (anyone got any idea on language/country of origin?) who made such awesome levels as Mephisto and Black Tower among others. Ahh, Nostalgia! [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Heh, You're a doomer too. Know Doomworld.com?[/QUOTE]A DOOMer from way back! I didn't have an internet connection back then and had to download all my doomstuff on the sly using my school's connection. I've never been to Doomworld.com but i still play doom every now and then so, if it's still up, i might visit.

My username is Link, because I post links to other websites a lot on this forum...

No just kidding; it's because of the main character in the Zelda-series. I like that game a lot.. it's really awsome.
