What does your name mean?
If you don't want to state your real name, just say what it means, and hopefully no-one will go to the trouble of discovering it, etc...

EDIT: damn, babynames.com has a search for "meanings"  :rolleyes:

Mine is "Gift of God"

and well, : (ĕkskăl'ĭbər) , in Arthurian legend, sword given to King Arthur by the Lady of the Lake. At Arthur's death Sir Bedivere threw Excalibur into the lake; a hand rose from the water, caught the sword, and disappeared. Another sword, sometimes mistakenly identified with Excalibur, was drawn from a stone by Arthur to prove his royalty.

I made that mistake... :nervous: mmm and I like this: ĕkskăl'ĭbər
His legacy will last until the beginning.

Re: What does your name mean?
@ Yellow+Green Lion: both, or the most ridiculous you've come across.

And as for your own personal opinions...(no names mentioned here), well, you can have this:             
                                                                                                                                                .:
                                                                                                                                              .:::
                                                                                                                                            .:::::
                         +   +                                                                                                         .:::::::
                           :::                               yes, wtf, exactly................................................::::::::::

EDIT - @ Haloboy below : well change your name to Hellboy100% if you are dissatisfied. ;)

Re: What does your name mean?
Real names or names here?  :confused:
Both I guess

I got Haloboy100 because I used to play Halo 2, but since now I hate that game my name is pretty obsolete. I wish my name was Flyboy now...

As for my real name:

Aaron Bonato,

Aaron was the brother of moses in the old testament, and IIRC was king or prince of the jews of egypt.

Bonato (pronounced boe-nah-toe) on the other hand, is my surname from the Italian side of my heritage. In Italian it literally translates to "Good Birth", at least according to someone I know who speaks Italian. The Irony in my last name is amazing. Though after looking up the "bo" part of my name, it might mean "Doubted Birth" which makes more sense, seeing as I'm a bastard child :blah:

His last name is Cecace,(Keh-ka-chay) which he tells me translates to "There is ****", or, literally translated, "**** there is"
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.

Re: What does your name mean?
jr2 = Josh R******* 2 , as the login system @ Lowe's Home Improvement Center takes the first initial, last initial, and then assigns a number based on how many people have the same first/last initials that work there at the same time as you.  So I was "jr2" on all the receipts, as well as when I punched in.  I just kept the handle for online purposes.  As for my name, that's Joshua, "God is Salvation".  :)

I'm no longer employed @Lowe's, they laid me off during the low season after I worked there for 2+ years, and then tried to hire me back during spring rush.  A bit late, I was already employed elsewhere.  ;)

Re: What does your name mean?
Hmm.. when translated it would be roughly the same as 'youngling' (sorta), more accurately 'young tree'. Surname would probably translate best as 'charlatan'...

I guess if my name meant anything it'd be that I'm a maniac with an axe.

Though my fantasy RPG alter ego's name means "Steadfast Echo of the Stars" in Tolkien's elvish  :p

I've actually forgotten where my name Stormkeeper came about. Also, on the subject of names, when my friend got baptised, he took the Christian name Dismas.

Re: What does your name mean?
First name is Jason which means healer (in Greek I think)

Surname is a village in Yorkshire doesn't really mean anything

Username is Wobble which is a nickname a friend gave to me as he misheard my surname and 73 is the year I was born!
