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.

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.

EDITING: Oh gosh, that doesn't tell anyone why I chose it! Well I wanted a celtic goddesses name. Simple as that.

I LOVE dragons and I usually play a Mage. I was trying to be unique and not pick a name that anyone else was likely to have.

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!
