[Blue Lion]

My first name (and my PXO login is still) Black Lion, but I liked Blue Lion better, and you can guess my surprise when the last squadron was the 70th Blue Lions, I was a bit shocked.

Doesn't really mean anything, not a Voltron reference or anything like that, just a name I picked.

[Admiral LSD]

My nick stems from back before I even got the internet. I was trying to think of a name to go by in Yahoo chat (IRC was banned on the school network) and after trying several variations of something I can't really remember (James Bond I think- "Lysergic Acid Diethylimide" popped into my head for reasons I can't even begin to fathom. The misspelling was unintentional but lucky. After it was pointed out to me I discovered the correct spelling, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, was already taken.

After discovering Freespace it became "admiral_lsd_of_the_gtd_ares" since it sounded cool at the time and since I only had the OEM version of FS2 I didn't know there was already a GTF Ares fighter. It became Admiral_LSD at the VBB since I didn't realise at the time that UBB allowed spaces in nicknames. It's now gone full circle and I've started signing up at places as Lysergic Acid Diethylimide again.

Bang Bang!

[Star Dragon]

For those of you who may not be aware the name I choose at age 6 as my nickname comes from the 70's robot Getter Robo G (Star Dragon in the US). There were many like him before and after but that is the name I have chosen. Go to the pic site in my sig to see the page dedicated to him... I command you! (except for the Emperor, him I humbly request... I don't mess with ancient religions that can choke me in my mecha!!!)

[Turnsky]

eh, mine came from when i had my head shaved  once,
some people said i looked like a russian spy or somesuch, game my name a slight russian tint: "lukavich turnerofsky" (luke turner)
or just "turnsky"  and it sortof just stuck there. as a result, i no longer shave my head..

:devil: At last, one who does not underestimate my powers! *cackles*

[demon442]

lets see...my nick...

The demon part comes from my friend calling me a demonic bastard(i laughed at the thought of frying a live rabbit in an oven, so sue me, i was 10.).  The 442 part came from the same friend's yahoo ID.  his was 336 and i decided that i liked it and came up with my own.

I might switch to DeathBringer in the near future tho, simply because it nearly get me expelled from school:devil:.

[delta_7890]

Well...Delta was already taken way back when, so...instead of thinking of another, I just slapped the last four numbers of the keyboard on.  ^^;

[Thor]

My name is taken from my nickname in RL, the Drummer of Thunder.  I got that from playing drums, playing them dam loud and hard (like thunder),  and I named my kit the Goddess (I was young, and it still works).  So I That was often shortened to DofT, which doesn't cast to much light on intelligence.  I was going to use it here but saw that there was a Thunder roaming around, so it be wise not to be drumming on him.  So, I thought for a bit, watched stargate, and relised that Thor would be the perfect name.  You can find me either as Thor or Thor_DofT.

eh.. why?

[Martinus]

Anyone who read te elvish thread will know that my name was a sort of half assed Tolkien inspired jobbie which basically means 'to seek understanding'. It can also be twisted into 'mega lamor' but that's Setekh and Styxx's comedy version. :wink:


The only other nick I've used is 'Jimmy Ninja' I suppose. It's another comedy based one I usually use when playing counterstrike (a rarity these days).

[Levyathan]

I got mine from a history class around five years ago; it's the title of that book by Thomas Hobbes. I just changed the I for the Y because it looked better. By that time I didn't know it had already been used pretty much everywhere, and now it's too late to change.

But the origins for Dark_4ce is actually quite simple.... I wanted something that sounded cool. So I came up with Dark Force. It was taken, so I changed the FOR to a 4.

Weird. I always thought it was supposed to be Dark Ace.

[HotSnoJ]

HotSnoJ is an oxymoron.....word.

Well I started out as Coolman. then I went to Coolboy. Then to Coolteen. Well then I started to think about snowmen. So Whats the opposite of cool/snow? Hot! So HotSnoJ was born. the J comes from my first name Josh.

[Goober5000]

Goober5000 was just a completely random name I chose on the spur of the moment.  I  needed a temporary ID, and haven't gotten around to actually taking the time to think up a new one.

My original first choice, one that I've used for years almost everywhere but here, was Sesquipedalian...

Originally posted by Sesquipedalian
In his book of advice for aspiring Roman poets, Ars Poetica, Horace cautioned against using sesquipedalia verba, words a foot and a half long. The deliciously amusing irony fits precisely my sense of humour, and since I'm known for linguistic dexterity anyway, Sesquipedalian is perfect for me.

..for nearly the exact same reasons (I thought I was reading about myself).

Besides, it is hardly a common handle.

Bah...I've used the same nickname for so long I've gotten rusty about thinking up new ones.  I registered Sesquipedalian2001 after finding out Sesquipedalian was taken, but I'm still debating whether to use it.
