whats in a name

[HERO Maxwell]

Ok..It's been quite around here. So I've decided to start, yet another, pointless thread.
What does your name mean or stand for, (ex:Inkswitch, what the hecks that?) where did you get it and why'd you choose it?
Where I got it:
My name, Duo Maxwell, is from a Japanese cartoon. In this cartoon he is also refered to as "Shinigami", which I beleive in Japanese means "god of death"
How I got it:
My father took a bussiness trip about 5 years ago and brought me back a video tape from Japan. It was an episode from a japanese cartoon called gundam. In it there were 5 pilots of these "Gundams" that were all from different countries. Duo Maxwell, is the American Pilot.

[ElectricHead]

Early WhiteZombie. And, if you have ever seen the Matrix, you know that we are ALL Electric Head's...:D




EH

[Phanataz]

White Zombie ...W00t! Didja know I met Rob Zombie?



What the hell is "Phanataz"? Beats me.

[TazGirl]

I came across my name very easily!

Taz:

I get the Taz part from my husband.. he reminds me of the Taz cartoon. Because I like the cartoon so much (I got into it when I babysat my youngest sister) I decided to nick name my hubby that which i later took from him :)

Girl:

Very Very easy... I'm a girl!!

with that said...

TazGirl is a woman who loves her husband so dearly that she choose her nick because of him!

[Rita Redneck]

I am one of those mothers that like to keep a close eye on their kids. When my son got hooked on the game I decided to check out what he was doing. I needed a name that I didn't think he would suspect. He just happened to have a copy of Redneck Rampage on the desk the first time I signed on. The rest is history. I got hooked and ended up having to buy him a computer so we could both play.

[-tekg0d-]

my handle has been with me for a LONG time...

started out as a pre-teen tagger thing, I wrote tekno all over the town, then after I got online it morphed into tekno god.
and i just condensed it for UT.. very lame yes I know

but not as lame as w00t.. :D

[SunnyDay]

I just took my name from the group Sunny Day Real Estate...

Just something simple.

[Freakish]

uh well one day in high school one of my friends said "you're rather freakish, aren't you". A short time later, I needed a nickname cuz I bought UT and started playing online...voila.

[Inkswitch]

I am an offset printer. Printing of this type requires large printing presses with lots of ink. The "Inkswitch" is the switch that starts and stops the printing process. I named myself after an electronic switch. :D

[ElectricHead]

I think I will change my name to the muffler bracket of a 72 Pinto...:D



NOT!



EH

[HortonsWho]

The avatar says it all... kid at heart (who likes to blow things up!)

[Phanataz]

Like Creeper's plastic girlfriend?

Freshie is short for freshmaker. The freshmaker is for mentos. Those early mentos commercials were hilarious.

http://mentosfaq.com

cal ripone jr. my in-game moniker came from modifying Cal Ripken Jr's that I use when I have to make an account, and I don't want to use my real-name. I thought it was a good name for UT.

[SoBeiT]

So you use a famous persons name for accounts you don't want to use your real name on? Credit cards? Auto Loans? Am I missing something :)

[Ghandi]

Sobeit what does your name stand for? Is it something you say a lot?


I always liked Ghandi. He is cool. I got the biggest kick out of seeing "Ghandi drew first blood. Or Ghandi is on a killing spree." when I first started playing unreal tournament.

[Creeper]

Well, I wanted to be CreepingDeath.. but 'walking deadman' was more like it. So, I dropped the Death part, and then later made an A$$ of myself.

[Masterblaster 43]

who can guess my name????


(it is so freakin random)

[MadMikey]

It's that guy from MadMax III: Beyond Thunderdome

"Break a deal, face the Wheel!"

[RNThrillKILL]

It was a game that never came out so I thought I would tell
everybody about it

It was for the playstation they said it was too violent

Sexual Transmitted Disease List Servers, Return Address for crackcocaine-superstore.com, Sign-up for accounts like to get on message boards.... much like this one.

[SoBeiT]

Your funny Freshie..

I took my name when many people tried to help me get better in UT and I never did. I couldn't hit anything. If they couldn't be the best, it wasn't worth playing for them. I told them if this is the best I will be so be it and I wasn't going to quit. It turned out my mouse sensetivity was on 18...I turned it down to 7 and can actually hit what I aim at...hehe.

[Turkish]

As for me I actually had several names that I retired

At first I was

Zahriki

It was from an anime called Battle Angel "Alita" before it got ported over to america.

I saw it as a fan-subtitled movie
great movie by the way

Then after gettin a bunch of lag from my 23.3 connection
I was

LagMaster Flash

That name is sorta a mix from alot of lag and I was listening to
Jammaster Flash and the Furious 5 at the time.

And as for Turkish
I had this name before the movie came out.
You know the one "Snatch"
people think I got that name from the movie but I actually thought about it while watching an episode of Seinfeld and the Soup Nazis
He was German but I thought it would have been funny if he was

Turkish :P

[IHopeToGod]

Bet your wondering how I got my name - hehe.

Well one day at the office we were suppose to have a meeting in one of the meeting rooms. But when we got to the room and entered it, the room was all messed up like someone had a party in there or something. The room was messy and there were stains everywhere. I don't know if they were buggers, coffee stains or what, or something more sinister(LOL!!). No one wanted to sit down. Anyway, before I sat down the only thing I could say was "Man, I hope to god thats milk". It was funny at the time, so I thought it would be an interesting alias for UT.

I do have other aliases but thats the one I use on this server, and others as well.

[SoBeiT]

lol...I had wondered if that was how you choose your name. Jeeze..so did everyone sit down at that meeting :D
& did you ever find out WHO was in that room before you..hehe

[Creeper]

Rumor has it that the meeting room had been used by Stealth, Mikey, and BamBam.

All other details are withheld because really... you DON'T want to know :D

[BamBam]

We KNOW if the white stuff came from a sex act, it DEFINITELY wasn't YOU!! Unless of course, you were in there alone or with Duct tape Debbie..:D

[IHopeToGod]

LOL. Quite the comedians...

Never did find out exactly who was in that room. Though moments before we got there, a robed figure could be seen turning the corner, and there were strangelike cow noises in the vicinity, followed by a brief chainsaw outburst and the words. "Its madness, its madness I tell ya". All I know is when I got home I took a long hot shower. Then in the days to come there was a letter circulating around the office - something about employee's responsibility to keep the place tidy. It was very difficult to read because apprently somebody try to rip it up with a chainsaw......

[Ghandi]

Creeper,

I could be wrong but I think Bam Bam likes you.

[Creeper]

damnit.. and my hide-out corner is under repair from the last time it got chain-sawed in half. :p

[j.lu]

i just decided i needed something funnier and more memorable than j.lu.....

burning_loins, Hold this position.
burning_loins, Hold this position.
burning_loins, Hold this position.
burning_loins, Hold this position.
Ha ha ha!


:D

j.lu <-- jerry luna

[BamBam]

You could've just used Jerry Luna, OWNED BY BAMBAM!! heehehe:D

[j.lu]

ha!

BamBam, you definitely had the best of me on Laputa last saturday.

i think half of your billion frags were from picking me off after anxiously grabbing the flag while your rocket launcher was pointed at my bare ass.

but dont worry honey, my loins still burn for BamBam frags!!

j.lu : burning_loins

:cool:

[Freakish]

hehe...anyone heard the song by Jerry Lo? She's So Ugly. It's funny. too bad I don't understand the chinese in the middle...

[HERO Maxwell]

Just wanted to bring this topic back to the surface so more people would reply.(errr just spamming.):D

[JadePunisher]

I used to be Danny_Boy[604]
well cuz all my family members call me by DannyBoy
so I started with that and I'm in the 604 area code.
later when ngworldstats changed quarters so did my name
I went with Jade cuz on porn sites 'Jade' is referred to as asians.
and I'm asian. and punisher is what I do to you.
end of story:D

hehe.. You know I love you guys.. As long as you're on the other team.. hehe..:D

[HortonsWho]

Damn... and I'm busy trying to give North Dakota to the Quebecois!

[Ghost_Recon]

I'm one more silly Canadian on this server, hehe!

[HERO Maxwell]

lol...Guess who else is Canadian...
|HERO|Death Knight
|HERO|Jen
|HERO|Konkin
|HERO|Burge Boy
|HERO|Titan
|HERO|Maximas
|HERO|TBONE
I'm not sure about |HERO| THRILLKILL, but my guess is that he is too!
Guess that means I can't crack any Canadian jokes!

[BamBam]

Maxwell couldn't find any American players that would join his clan I reckon.. hehe.. I'm waitin for the Canadian voice pack now..

"I've got your back, Ay?"

"You Suck, Ay?"

hehehe:D

Didya hear the one about the guy that went and played golf.. Scored a 104 but hey, in Canadian, that's a very respectable 72!!

[DeadLamb]

Never thougth I would get good enough to back up a cool name way back when I started to play online with Q1..... so I went with Dead Meat..... some loser on the server was Dead Meat too and freaked out like I stole his name.. sigh...

so I had a running joke with my buddies that, in the wild, lambs are the top predator to the point they will dive into water to kill sharks if they see them.. :)

There ya go.. DeadLamb

Plus it sort of funny to have people screaming "Damn it Lamb! Stop killing me!!!" at the big LAN parties we have out here in Sacramento every month..

[{DvNA}PRiSM]

I got my name from my friends.

Back in the days of X_PRiSM_X [Sigh, The good old days... I still remember a lot of the OG players on smackdown like Recon,etc] Like a PRiSM... I break through a defence... just like a PRiSM can break a beam of light into the color spectrum.

I think its kewl that people are telling their nick names origins.

Keep posting guys :)

[fS Trouble]

well I was originally Savage...changed my name because thats too original...

then when I joined |Robot| they make you change your name to a Robot name...so I got on Transformers website and found a cool one...

thats how I got Quickstriike...but now im outta Robot and back to solo...but Im still gonna keep Quickstrike

[Recon]

Well, I started as "Anal Rape"....you were killed by...a damn good reaming..hahahaha

Then i Joined the {BP} clan, was asked to change name to not offend the god fearing folks. ( wtf, a game you run around killing peeps, strong religous ties any how.)

My neighbor is USMC Force Recon. I like providing intel back to team so....

Canadian women are right, good chit. Productive neighbor's. Aye. Been all over that country. Growing up in MI, frequented bars and beaches. There was this chic, Patty, softest lips, sweet round..opps! Thats another thread.:p

[Turkish]

Just bumping this thread for the the newcomers out there wondering how the "Regs" got most of their gaming names.

[Idle Idol]

well i've played here under several pseudonyms, this one being the only one i've really talked to people/posted. It's also very unoriginal. Just a simple wordplay, nothing you haven't heard before. One day day a friend of mine who doesn't play computer games was watching me play, we were killing some time waiting for a phone call from a third friend about what was going on that evening. He said "well, your pretty good" and i said "yup, i just sit here and flick my wrists and I can be good at something." we bantered and he ended up calling me Idle, or refering to being good at computer games is like a car being good at Idling. something like that, I made the word play on Idle and presto change...hit the tild key and changed my name right then.

Other names i've played under here:
Taran - character from the lloyd alexander books the Prydain Chronicles, which were butchered and made into a disney movie that practically no one knows about! It's like the forgotten disney animated classic (The black cauldron) i didn't even know about the movie until like 6 years after i read the books

Gizmorocks/GizmoRockStar - www.x-entertainment.com = badass site. Saw this picture on there one day and just decided i would use that picture as the basis for an online persona (gizmo being the mogwoi from the Gremlins movies =)
http://members.aol.com/rowanq/gizmorocks.gif

Rowan
japanese animation, "Armored Samurai Troopers" is the direct translated name, Ronin Warriors was the released american name. Character looks badass and is badass, quote from the series: "He is the most clever and therefore the most dangerous of the ronin warriors"

There was also a name i used that was quote from southpark, from cartman. "whose-a-jiggah-what" i was playing here one day under one of the aforementioned names, one of the regs (long time ago, forget who) asked who the hell I was so i changed my name to that in jest. ended up sticking for quite some time =)

I've grown quite fond of Idle Idol however, i think i'll stick with it for a while =)

edit: forgot to mention
The character in my avatar is one from Trigun. Though i've never seen the entire anime through, i've seen a bit of it. Have a couple friends that loved it. I wanted a neat looking picture of an anime character with a gun, so i went to images.google.com and did a search i think for "anime big gun" this poped up, i recognized it from trigun and i really liked the insane glint in his eyes. worked well for my "idle's hands" reference i seem to like so much =)

--Idle, long winded as always

[Turkish]

OH MY LORD I watched that cartoon in "The black cauldron" in the theater and then bought the game for my apple 2 :P

Got stuck on it for a long time then eventually beat it.

If you want an awesome picture of a gun tote-ing anime character go no further then Cowboy Bebop.

I got one of the pictures as my wall paper, but I actually never watched the series even though my brother says its quite bad-ass.

[B.C.]

man this post, is so long ago, that i still wasn't here!

My name will always be a secrect!

[Turkish]

well let me guess on B.C.'s name from the look of your avatar B.C. stands for Bare Cow?

Look your avatar has no damn hair. :D

[Phanataz]

your avatar suits you well, Ms. Turkish.

[Phanataz]

Oops.

[_F7_]

I took my name from a movie that is a bit of a cult classic: "Logan's Run".

It's an interesting perspective of the future. It's a sci-fi movie about a civilization living inside a sealed city. This "city in a bubble" is a controlled society, a product of post-nuclear war. The inhabitants of the city are free to experience all the pleasures of life, the only catch is that life must end at 30 unless reborn in the "fiery ritual of carousel". Logan (Michael York) is a Sandman, a man who hunts down "runners" who do not wish to participate in carousel. The computer which controls the city decides to advance Logan's age to 30, and turn him into a runner. As a runner, he must find "sanctuary", a supposed hiding place for runners.

Logan's partner while he is a Sandman is another hunter named "Francis 7" (Logan's name is "Logan 5"). He is called "F7" for short and is a bit...unbalanced.

Anyway there's this great scene where F7 is hunting a runner. The runner starts shooting at him at point blank range and F7's reaction is to cackle madly and toy with the man. I liked the scene and thought the character kicked ass.

Richard Jordan as F7

[BOOBS]

First used "An Inflamed Testicle" cause I thought"you've been killed by an inflamed testicle" was mighty funny. I then used Ann Thrax for a little while but tons of other people started using it. I sat down and gave it much thought and then decided, why not just use the two things in this world that I like the best"BOOBS"(sounds better then breast and the other name, well even though it would be fun I am sure I would get grief) So the great BOOBS was born.

[BOOBS]

If you are good at flicking your wrist there are a lot of other names you could go by....:D

[Fa Kov]

While mine's pretty obvious, remarkably people still ask what it means. I just tell them to say it out loud enough times and they'll figure it out. Helps if you do it with a British accent.

But it came from the days of playing the NHL series on Sega Genesis. Always made my own goalie named Fa Kov. In my mind he was a surly old Russian alcoholic in his late 40s, but impenetrable in the net. I liked the name so much I use it for everything now.

[uncledumpy]

I guess I could explain “uncledumpy”; sorry kind of long story…

About 7 years ago I was getting drunk with a buddy of mine at the Native (wing joint) in Phoenix when I was bust’n his balls about becoming a “daddy”, and like normal, quite cruelly. (Ironic now that I’m a dad…) This buddy Tom is quite the clever one, and told me his son would only know me as “Uncledumpy”. Why? Cause I would take monster dumps at this apartment, not flush, then go home. I know, I was a sick bastard, but damn was it funny when I would get the call “Your such a sick f*ck, my mom just stopped by…” You get the picture… I moved to Las Vegas and the years went by, which I never heard this nic-name… Thought he forgot…

Then I moved back to Phoenix… We were with some friends and we ran into Tom, his wife, and their son, Justin; I was with my very new fiancée and sure enough, the first words out of Justin’s mouth was “Hi Uncledumpy”. After that moment, I was referred to as Uncledumpy by EVERYONE. I couldn’t shake the nickname, so I adopted it.

Oh, when I was using MIF. It was actually a mis-spell for MILF. I loved American Pie. I used \--SirKillZALot--/, but it just seemed too dorky. Plus I sucked.

[_F7_]

ROFLMAO Uncle! Had me laughing out loud at that one.

[Freakish]

LMAO dumpy!!!!!!

[|SAD|_Kaotik]

One day I was flipping through an auto magazine and saw an ad for Kaotik rims. I thought it looked cool and at the time I called myself Havok. After I started seeing people play under that handle I decided to change mine to Kaotik.


|SAD| stands for Seek And Destroy. It is the clan that I co-founded. Some people say hey that name fits you because you suck. All I have to say about that is: I am a noob, and I have fun playing. Always up for a game and looking to improve. If you have any tips or hints feel free to pm me.

On another note: Thanks to the staff for having a great site!!!

[SpikeSo]

I started playing UT only by accident. At the office with a co-worker, on our LAN. My nick in real life has always been Spike (for some reason it sticks, even with co-workers) and So is my real last name. So when me and Grendel's Mutha got tired of kicking our co-workers butts, we decided to try online. By the time I felt creative enough to change my nick, I had met too many ppl on Space Monster server to change it. I didn't want to lose all the UT contacts.

[C-Scrutinizer]

Central Scrutinizer was a conception of Frank Zappa, on the "Joe's Garage" album. In its most basic sense...Central Scrutinizer is "Big Brother" - his job is to enforce the laws that haven't been passed yet.

[FishGeeek]

Well I'm really into my fish tank. When I went to sign up for an email at yahoo FishGeek was taken, so I added an extra e, thus FishGeeek. Really CoralGeeek would make more sense. I only own 4 fish, but I own, grow and propagate 30 different corals. Basically it comes down to the fact I am a Geeek.

Here is a bubble for ya


FG

[_F7_]

Trippy looking Fish. :) Looks very cool! I could see how one would get into that. Sounds like it must be pretty involved. I checked out the link in your sig. Are there any "Reef Aquarium" guides for dummies where I could learn more? Level of maintenance, costs, etc.

[Blackheart]

I got my name in High school!! Here is the story! The first day of high school this guy on the football team was being an a$$ to me and me being the smart a$$ that I am made him want to kick my a$$,, SO after school he stoped me in the parking lot and started and fight. Back then the smallest thing when piss off so bad I would just go nuts, so when he hit me the first time I went nuts on him and beat the ***** out of him,,,the guy had to go to the hospital. Well the next day of school everybody was saying how crazy I was and some people started calling me a "Blackhearted a$$hole" And that is the story of my name!:rockon:

[TraciLords69]

Well my name is not all that complicated, but there is a story behind it. I was in the "What should my name be" phase over a year ago. My boyfriend was visiting and I was watching him play UT, and then it dawned on me that I should have a porn star name...duh right? So I asked him what the name of a porn star was, since I didn't know any (yet), and the first name he said was Traci Lords (boyfriend drools heavily at this point), so there ya go.

While I was unfamiliar with any porn at the time, I assure you I am more than familiar with her work now. Ohhh yaaa :spank:

Traci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you

[Froginabox]

I used to go by BullFrog when I played RTCW. This moniker came from the name of my favorite alcoholic drink at the (vodka and lemonade). RTCW became to easy so Squirrel suggested UT, which I hadn't played in a long time. After getting my ass handed to me for some time on Stealth, I changed to Froginabox when we started our "quasi-clan of sorts....so to speak."

One day, I will dominate again.

[BrkdnceFghteR]

Ah, long time no post for me... Well here's the 411 on my name...

I heard if off of Zoolander, during the crazy face off, cat walk, modelin' scene... and since I still enjoy Breakdancing with my friends I decided to use it on UT...

my name is simple too.... It's SuperDanK!.... Dank = damp...moist... I came up with my name when I was playing UT and had no 420's......suddenly my friend shows up with some killer nugs...superdank!.... I use to play as Wicked"E" - that is my DJ name.... so I stick to SuperDank.... cause I got's to have 420's and UT....

ok.... time to frag....

"I was about to call this night club "Unreal Thurday's or Superdank Thursday's" until I realize that I have an addiction... and it's not 420."

[Mofoco]

I have posted this once before and I will say How/Why I came about.

Viperman and Richard Zinia are a couple of friends and played many FPS games, I like Racing and Speed. Well Vipe was playing on-line one day when I stopped by and I sat down and got Hooked.

I know I sucked then and still do, But I dont care! Since I wanted an original name (who doesnt), so many Duplicates ...... Well I have a filthy potty mouth, and when you A$$ Holes kept killing me I would say bad words, " Why That Muther.... " you get the rest.

Also, FOrd MOtor COmpany (FOMOCO) labels its parts that way I am a Chevy Freak so, F&#^ Ford, = MOFOCO

[Capt Napalm]

Capt. Napalm is one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbies characters. He was a crime fighting superhero. Kinda a Batman on speed.

[Kindness]

Kindness wrote in a different thread of his own devising when TraciLords69 directed him here:
I only started playing any form of electronic game last year; I wanted to think of a name that made sense in the various messages that are generated by the game; hence,

You were killed by Kindness.
You killed Kindness.
Kindness left the game.
etc., etc.

There are other names of this type, e.g., The-Bottle, Your-Disease.


I also go by Orren-The-Moron. It was suppose to rhyme, but, doesn't really. and, of course, is itself moronic in that way!

And, Give-Love-Each-Day, from the YES album Magnification, their latest. Seems appropriate for a game of murder, right?

[HailtheGoat]

This is how I great people.

:rockon: HailtheGoat:rockon: I actually look like this except my hair is blonde.

So I thought I would use it. Plus I always get a good chuckle from going to the petting zoo. I don't know why but animals crack me up. Small things amuse small........

[TraciLords69]

hahah, awesome Goat!

[CJHobbes]

I originally posted this on the other thread, but here it is again....just cut and pasted.

Well, I started playing electronic online games about 4 years ago with Quake 1. My first character's name was Decoy. I came up with it because I figured, hey, that's what I am for the team...a decoy so the other teammates can cap the flag =D. And, actually, after realizing that the name was a little too lame for me for those games, I saw the movie Face Off and thus named my character Castor. And then a few weeks after that, got into Delta Force and named my character Pollax.

So, after getting into Unreal Tournament, I need a new name to go with this new kick-a$$ game. Thus, I came up with Prophet Six. Prophet from Nostradamus (quite an interesting fellow) and Six because, well, Prophet just wasn't enough....it needed a number at the end and Six just fit the best.

And thus Prophet Six was created and now adorns many-a-maps with his blood, guts and gore.:loopy:

[Nimda]

I just pulled Nimda out of my :moon:

I have been known to use LordSith (BEFORE Star Wars re-releases, etc - not relating to Star Wars) and nataS. My RPG name is Madrigar Corwinth (little more creative than Nimbda) ;)

[Turkish]

OHMYGOD GOAT!

that is extremely hilarious.

:P

YOU ROCK
:rockon:

and nimda haven't you ever heard of the nimda virus?

big fiasco last year.

[FBMachine]

Well FBMachine is from the Meshuggah song Future Breed Machine, and my in-game name ScrambledMonkey is from when my old roomate had AOL. I kept getting warning messages to change my name ( there was IKILLSEALS, IWillKillU, FromSkinToLiquid, some others I can't remember... ). They are so picky about names, though they never bothered me on my ScrambledMonkey account so that one stuck. Thank god I don't have to use AOL anymore!

[FBMachine]

Oh yeah.. I didn't say where ScrambledMonkey actually originaly came from... straight out of my ass.

Anyway, my nick used to be CriticalFactor, which meant I was the CriticalFactor in the game(keep thinking LowGrav guys lol)

I then went to Halo, which I stole from the XBoX game, Halo. I loved the game so much I decided to name myself after it lol.:hammer: :scratch: :blah:

[Doofus]

Doh!

What can I say, I lack imagination, literal guy that I am, my nick speaks for itself (okay, gimme a few points for self-deprecation). Seemed an apropos moniker when I was klOOless UT nOOb frag fodder. I'm still a doofus, I just live longer and accomplish more between suicides.

Bless our little bovine hearts.

[[pepe]]

Well my cousin [S]uper [D]ank was always playing UT when I would visit, he would pay no attention to nobody in his house or what was going on. Later I would find out why....

Then I started playing about a year and a half ago and have not stopped since. I had an e-machine and was not really enjoying it too much so he hooked me up with a graphics card, then his motherboard, then his sound card, a sh*t load of memory, we got a new case and I just bought the Geforce4 mx440 and needles to say I have a great superdank-machine.

I played under scorpion1205 at the begining but later changed it to my real nickname [pepe]

if you know anybody named Jose and I am sure you do, call him pepe that is probably his childhood nickname.

my avatar is Speedy Gonzalez
cause of my last name and one of my favorite cartoons..

[[pepe]]

Oh and I've been to Canada
Edmonton
Calgary
Red Deer

all over Alberta
actually I was there for the
Klindike days...no don't go thinking that way its
a festival, oh that didn't help hu?

any ways paradise if I had to describe it, the most awsome place.

so just want to give our canadians peeps props on their country:rockon:

[JohnnyBravo]

Well I'm a DJ and the name I use when I'm spinning etc is Johnny Bravo. So pretty much every screenname I use is Johnny Bravo or some varient of that.

[ShirleyFT]

In New York everything is a question:

You talkin' to me?
You lookin' at me?
Yo, what am I, your mother?
What am I, some kind of an A**hole?
You think?

Who do I look like to you, ShirleyF**kinTemple?

[killbot13]

Obviously I have no imagination. So I use Darth_Jesse because I like Vader. :)

[The_Stranger]

The_Stranger is a name I made up while looking around for a good CTF server. There seemed to be a lot of communities built up around each one, whereas I was not staying anywhere for long, just popping in and playing a game or two, and then going somewhere else.

Since I hadn't played much online, I was really bad, and didn't want to establish a rep as a completely incompent nOOb under my older LAN-based game name (AntMan).

I play on the playground pretty exclusively now, and I'm not quite as helpless, anymore, so I could switch back to AntMan, but I find I have gotten attached to The Stranger.

The AntMan will probably make an occasional appearance, just the same.

[Freakish]

I saw Antman today!

[Susume]

Well im a big fan of all thing asian, mainly Japan and China.
Susume/Suzume mean sparrow. In UT, I try to move around like one. Xloc here, jump there, dodge over here ect.... which is a good thing for a fevered FC. Get to flag quickly and safely, hope ya got cover on the way home. Occasionally Ill play a pub as a Japanese AV star Maiko_Yuki, Aya_Otosaki.

[Switch]

These stories are great! LOL Redneck, Freshie, and IHopeToGod!
Hort, I love a good read too :D

Switch is a snowboard binding manufacturer.
My good friend worked for them at trade shows.
She gave me a shirt.
I liked it.
My friends started calling me that which was plastered on my chest.
"Switch."
Has nothing to do with the German chick in "The Matrix." Saw the movie 6 times in the theaterand love it, but no, I am a guy!

Other old aliases:
saymynamebitch (from "American Pie")
NOMEANSNO (like the Vancouver band)
RSG|Dexter'sRobot (when I was a clannie. I was co-captain of the Red Sash Gang, but moved and lost my internet connection for months.
Never got a chance to say "I won't be around for awhile, wanna keep tabs on when the matches are this weekend?" Not good)
Mr.Funnyshoes (from some sci-fi movie which I can't recall right now)

Dorkchop... no explanation needed.

NinjasAreSweet .... because Ninjas have REAL ULTIMATE POWER (http://www.realultimatepower.net)

[[AcK]BillTheCat]

[AcK]BillTheCat -> From the comic strip Bloom County (one of the funniest strips of all time) - AcK!! is what Bill said a lot and so I made it a clan tag. I still use this nick in IRC since it seems to make it easier to be a total loon (life's too short to be serious all the time).

A pic of Bill (http://www.premier.net/~cspedale/opus/images/bill2.jpg)

I played as {who}cares for a while when I got tired of all the '1337' players complaining 24/7 (WTF BS LAG WAAAAAAAAA). My wife (Long_Legs) played as {who}knows during that time. At least StealthDP has a minimum of this behaviour though it is rampant on many of the servers out there.

[CMi]CatsEye -> When PacBell made it impossible to continue [AcK] since my wife and I could no longer play together on the same server without 4K pings, we joined Cosmic Monsters, Inc. Some may recognize the reference to Rob/White Zombie. The clan used to be all named after songs or references (Soul-Crusher, El Phantasmo, SuperBeast, etc...) but that requirement has been dropped. Our main server is still called Grindhouse and I will keep the CatsEye nick as well.

As an aside, I would like to express my appreciation to the owners and admins of the StealthDP servers and website/forums for making such a great place to play under whatever nick we are using today. These servers seem to be the last bastion of UT fun out there and I am grateful to be able to play with such a great bunch of skilled players.

SMOOCHES to all!

Well my nickname is simple. i was out lookin for rock mags and saw slipknot on the cover with their new outfit, the one that has 6(sic)6 on the sleve and thought that looks pretty cool and it ties in with the type of music i listen to (death metal b4 u ask) so i thought of what could i do with it that wouuld be different. i looked at different variations of it and like Sic6siX the most plus if you say it fast it sounds like 666 (number of the beast, iron maiden) then i thought id try something with symbols and came up with S][C6S][X and have used it online ever since. i do use it for other things as well and other games. i guess its easy to remember. my real nickname is bones but i thought it was too original to use on the internet as other people are bound to use it.
thats the story.

[Elayne_Trakand]

Elayne Trakand stands for the character in a novel by Robert Jordan. She is sassy and tough and cute and bitchy and spoiled and arrogant. I think those characteristics match my personality perfectly so i thought what the hell!!!

[tr@xtandn]

Actually I get that all the time, SoBe. :rolleyes: Who is this Creeper guy? :D

[Zinia]

I'm just a Dick.

My favorite line when I meet someone whose name is Dick or Richard is...

"Were you born a Dick?"

Which makes my wife cringe, but I find amusing.

A character on a TV show about 5 years ago used the name "Richard Zinia" as an alias when checking into a hotel and I found that quite original so I stole it.

[[AcK]BillTheCat]

"Were you born a Dick?"

[Young_Wolf]

Actually Maxwell, I like this thread. I have always wondered about how people came to name themselves for UT. My story is a bit outside the norm.

I grew up playing games in a mall arcade (go figure) and there was an Air Hockey table there. At 14 I started playing in weekly tournaments and started getting good. By 18 I had become the National Air Hockey Champion - yes, National and World Championships do exist. Anyhow, I was given the nickname "Young Wolf" because, up until I came along, all the best players in the country were in their 30's. I was part of an newer younger generation of players who were "nipping at the heels of the Old Guard like a pack of wolves" (this was a quote that was in the player association newsletter at the time and where the name originated).

Now days the newer players sometimes joke and call me Old Wolf or Grey Wolf (though I'm only freaking 32 and still ranked 2nd in the world). Anyhow, the original name stuck and I use it a lot for gaming.

The story of where the [LaM] comes from is a tale for another thread

[UltraJounin]

I originally began as "Supersaijyin" ...obviously a big DBZ fan.

then with Crouching tiger hidden dragon was released in the US and i was hard pressed to join a clan i faked my own as "[CTHD]Supersaiyjin"

after a few months of play i noticed too many "supersayans" "supersaiyin" etc etc... so i decided to switch to "[CTHD]Ultrasaiyjin" (ultra-kill) + (supersaiyjin)

then a i met a few friends from college who were into DM and i tried to get them to become [CTHD] but none of them were real fans... finally after weeks of petty argument we decided on a name that was really catchy/ noticable and unforgettable [NEGRO].

and to tell you the truth the only reason im keeping the [NEGRO] tag is because of our website....well im really the only one left but oh well, the name works for me :)

Ha Ha. That's a great story. Air Hockey world champion ladder. Who Knew? Do you get to travel the world playing in Air Hockey championships? Whose number 1? If you give us a name and address, we'll go break his wrists. ;)

[Kingster]

Bah. As compared to all these stories, mine is pretty damn lame - My last name is King... And I was given a nick while in the Air Force of Kingster (among others).

It stuck.

[Young_Wolf]

Yes, I did do a bit of traveling while I was on top. I did exhibitions in Europe, Canada and Mexico. The sport is biggest in the U.S. and in particular Texas - as you can tell from the list of top ranked players in the world. Still, we had a 3-time champ from Venezuela and players from a host of other countries.

Take care...

[UltraJounin]

good job, ive been wanting to do it too. :D

[CykNus]

Cool thread I musta missed the 1st few times around. Anywho.... my stoopid, silly name came from my old motocross madness name which was ROTN_CygnusX1. I chose that name because 1) I am a diehard Rush fan and 2) Cygnus is the God of Balance (if you ever listened to Hemispheres you all would know that! "We will call you Cygnus, the God of Balance you shall be") and what would be better for motocross then balance eh? Cyngus X-1 is also the name of a constellation that includes the black hole of CygnusX1. SO, we got God of Balance and a Black Hole hahhaa

After a while on MCM, some of my teammates started calling me slickness, sickness, etc and thats where it started. :hammer:

[equine]

Hoo boy it begins...

Currently I am equine which developed out of my love for drawing weird horses, it just sounds cool also.

Um Tenno is my music slash art name, and my nom de plume in the Vegas rave scene, incidentally it emans a lot of things in japanes, heaven, god, emperor etc. Sort of.

I was Lamkins cause it sounded cute, and lambinabox to tick off Squirrelinabox , 'lingering doubt' to trick Recon, and because it sounded funny when i made a kill.

Um and Concurring Beasts is the name of the poetry book from Insomnia by STephen King, cause I'm a serious King fan.

Any other names have been a result of my boredom with the same thing.

[Nitestalker]

Well got my name from two places, first from the old Intellivision game Night Stalker, and second from my job, I work for at grocery store, and I use to do a lot of "night stocking", used the name first for a Mud game and Diablo, and always used it on UT since the demo first came out over three years ago. I know there was the old Tv show form the 70's called Night Stalker but I never saw those until lately.

[Idle Idol]

--Idle, see below

[LL|Dirt]

I used to just screw around and play on spammy deathmatch servers. Didn't take it seriously. If I knew I was going to get into UT as much as I have, I probably would have picked a more serious name. Dirt just sounded funny, it seemed to fit in.

Then I got hooked on CTF. Played all the time, became good, and was asked to join a clan. People allready knew me as Dirt, so I was stuck with it, couldn't really change my name.

[yen_master]

got my name from money....
:D

[Scooter]

OK got my name from my first car it had a big sticker on the lower part of the door that said SCOOTER. So my friends started calling me scooter. It was a 1976 chevy chevette. ok i bought it for $200.00.


OK YES I'M OLD:rockon:

[Scourgem]

Here's the grand & epic story behind my handle:

Starcraft unit: Scourge.
FPS Hero: Duke Nukem

... Scourgem.

I guess it's a combination of the words "Scourge" and "them".

Absolutely brilliant, isn't it? :rolleyes:

[Kindness]

Good for you, Maxwell, this is the kind of thread that deserves to stick near the top of the forum section. "Know whatahmean, know whatahmean, nudge nudge, know whatahmean, say no more?" (http://www.graphicszone.net/monty_python/scripts/Series_1/25.htm)

I always find it interesting to see what players' names mean to the players themselves. And, as new players arrive, one way of introducing themselves is to post their names and the histories behind those names here. Great idea, Maxwell, great thread.

[widowmaker]

How I got my name goes back a ways. I use to play Paintball / CTF/ Survival Games a lot. The third gun I owned was the first generation 64 Automag. If you played back in those days you know what a weapon that was when it first came out. So I have this awsome piant gun and rack up the kills with it.
One weekend a british soldier who was playing refered to the gun as a "widowmaker". I did up a fancy case for it with the widowmaker name and milked it for all it was worth. So name ws originally given to a paint gun I had.
Now a few years later I started player DN3D online and used the name widowmaker because I thought it was going to intimidate my opposition. Used it since then in the Duke Nukem 3D Mod community. Revived it when I came here.

But honestly it just doesn't have the ring to it that it once had. Maybe I will come up with something a little more friendly one of these days.

[eX-one]

Hmmm mine's really simple. My old screen nick was Xtreme1 (there's a story behind that, but that's another story), people got lazy and started calling me X1 , I ended up adopting it .. and it just evolved to what it is now .. eX-one

Xtreme1 -> X1 -> eX-one

everyone that sees my name the first time calls me Exxon or something similar :rolleyes:

No special story behind my name :(

Well mine is easy......one nite in lab we decied to star a UT lan game in our Microsoft lab and everybody had cool names...so I choose UNREAL....,later I found out someone else had that in the real world so I changed it to UN*REAL....we added the {chey} tag because we were going to start our own clan here in Cheyenne Wyoming. This was back in the UM days.They all basically quit and I have held on to it since....

[{chey}UN*REAL]

Should I drop the tag??? or drop the UN*REAL and go with just chey or what ??

opinions ???

Nova... to make a long story short i made up a story about a group of people training to be the best, training in space in gravity room on the moon, wanting to be the fastest, and the strongest in the world. Anything else to call them would be stupid, sun... star... moon, Nova sounded the best, so they were called the Novas. I use Nova now to signify them wanting to be the best.
Genix... Well... just wanted a cool name then made a story about it. But i'm changing my name to Kureejii_Youkai, that means Crazy Demon in japanese. ;)

My name is fairly simple. Dragon ball z is the best cartoon of all time!!!! So I decided to pick the coolest character off that show...which is Gohan.
Before that, I was Raphael from the ninja turtles. He is probably my favorite character from tmnt. :)

Come on, what about the rugrats:D

Simpson's needed to end around 98-99. Now it's just stupid.

I consider simpson's and King of the Hill, Beavis and Butthead, and other adult oriented prime-time cartoons to be in a different category than those 80's toy cartoons.

I loved the Transformers, but I think that Thundercats might have been just a tad-bit better.

-freshmaker, ho!

[Intrepid_Dragon]

Shows what you guys know, the Gobots were so much better than the Transformers :P

Seriously though, Cykill? Does it get any better? Nice to know there are some people from my era, I thought most were my brother's age who enjoyed Mask.

[widowmaker]

Oh so many 80's cartoons weere associated with toys. I think what I watched the most was G.I.Joe The first season.

Which brings to mind one thought that has plagued my mind for years. Duke was the G.I.Joe leader. Now 3DRealm shave this character Duke Nukem who just hapens to share the name and likeness of the G.I.Joe Duke.
[Cough Sound] Rip off [/Cough Sound]

Don't get me wrong I love the Duke Nukem games but the character is a total rip off IMO. I feel so free now I have that off my mind.

[phalanx]

duke nukem roxxors

transformers is so much better than gobots or thundercats...but yes, thundercats does throughly rock.

Voltron was cool, but the best Japenese import was Robotech/Macross :) (Starblazers/Yamamoto was b4 my time) Though Minme often got on my nerves.

[p00p]

voltron was the highlight of many afternoons watching tv.as was robotech (though the story got lame after awhile, over a number of years). animaniacs was great. i always used to think thundercats was more or less a rip off of the voltron cats. thundercats used to follow he man in the afternoons. doh, he man was some crap cartoon...

terrahawks was pretty weird but not really a cartoon. it was all puppets and models. but when they showed any action of hands, they would show a real person's hands. so weird lol

[BillyTheKid]

I started out as BillClinton a while back. I can't remember if the scandal was still going on with our old pal Bill, but I can remember one thing. I was so proud of that man. Sure you can flame, but first, you need to become president then do something that badass while in office. He might be a huge embarassment to our nation, but I found it rather amusing.

After a year or so playing with that name, I began to see more and more people using it. I saw numerous BillClintons and Monica Lewinsky's so I knew it was time for a switch.

I wanted to still be recognizeable to those I knew hence I left Bill somewhere in the name. Whose the fastest kid in the west? No doubt. BillyTheKid.

A&E probably won't want to start a biography on me cause of this but at least my fellow UPer's will always know.

PS. My posts always seem to be so long so I'm thinking about removing all the vowels from my keyboard. Sound good?

[BluJay]

My name is something I've been using for a number of years... it started when I was playing a game of Tribes over at a friend's place. Needed to give myself a name, so I typed in the first thing that popped into my head. BluJay. I've stuck with it since then. It means nothing, but I identify it.

In real life I also go by the nicknames FNC (pronounced funk, short for Friendly Neighborhood Crustacean, long story there) and Sebastian.

its hard to figure out without I's... and O's... and U's.... well all of em..

Earlier this year i realized every single word in the world had a vowel in it and I had never really thought about it. I still have not found a word that doesn't have any vowels in it. There has to be one! If not I will make one!


[edit]
Well not every single world in the world but every word in the English language.

Well, isn't that special? :D

As far as vowels go, you are basically right. Vowels are essentially just different overtone combinations (created by altering the throat/mouth/nasal passages) of the root vibration created by oscillating our vocal cords. Consonants are basically what control the flow of vowel sounds. Without a vowel sound present, a consonant can't exist.

You can hear a consonant without vowels, per se, if you substitute gray noise for the vocal cord oscillations. The noise can be created by flowing air over a surface without the surface oscillating in a regular pattern. Thus, over the teeth and lips:


ffffffffff
thththth
shhhhhhhhhhhh
sssssssss

It is possible some languages would consider such utterances as actual words.

Whispering also uses noise instead of regular oscillations, but the noise is still shaped by the vocal passage so that vowels are recognized as a certain range of frequency emphasis.

:D

[HortonsWho]

Depends on the languag-- there are gaelic words and Welsh (I believe) with now "standard" vowels, but then a "W" in Welsh can have that function intranslation as in "clwd"


The word "Hmm" and "Shhh" have been commonly accepted vocabulary.

[BillyTheKid]

Heh. My education is in theater directing, so I've done my share of studying phonetics and linguistics. And I'm a musician, so I've always had an interest in the science of sound, fascinating stuff, all of it.

An interesting note: Hebrew is normally written without vowels, except where absolutely necessary to clarify specific meaning that can't be determined from context. So, in effect, Hebrew, though in a different script, looks in effect a lot like what you've written above. The vowels exist, and can be written, but are usually omitted. Basically, the vowels look like punctuation marks, added below the consonants (in blue, in the attached graphic; Hebrew is also written right to left; this is an example of print letters, not handwriting)

[Mathlete]

ill help bring it to life, although i could've sworn i posted my name somewhere before :dunno:

I used Cavoose as my halo name, i got it from red vs blue, but i spelt it wrong.
then me and some friends participated in math counts, and all did horribly, as we hate math. there was a sign that said: Welcome Mathletes! at the event, and i got a kick out of it. one day playing lan with my brothers in Custom edition, i changed it to Mathlete as a joke. around that time i noticed different forms of Caboose popping up, as RVB grew in popularity. i just decided to keep it, and here i am.

im not sure if i ever had a name before that, come to think of it halo might have been the first online game i ever had.

also, if you catch me on any delta force games i'll be Joe Pimpin'. no reason really, it just sounds kinda goofy :D

[n3m35i5]

I was randomly repeating my initials one day (NMS) and drew a blank for reasons stated above, the ones about how words need vowels. I inserted the ones that made sense... nemis or nemes. tack on another syllable, and I've got myselfe nemesis- archenemy, a sworn opponent. which, in refrence to games, I am. I'm the sworn opponent of the other team :D

I was young at the time, and I thought l337 was awesome. it still is, but now I go by nemesis in other games to save people the pain of figuring out the numbers. in order to keep my friends and reputation in UT, I just stuck with n3m35i5 for that game.

yes, I was randomly pronouncing my initials. I had that much free time. :)

I realized after that moment that I did not need my old email.

[Ratt]

My name was originally going to be Rattt cause you'd pronounce it "rat tee tee" as in "rat tittie". Then I thought not because people would think I was being stupid. So now it's just ratt. I don't know why I just stuck with it.

[uncledumpy]

I guess I could explain “uncledumpy”; sorry kind of long story…

About 7 years ago I was getting drunk with a buddy of mine at the Native (wing joint) in Phoenix when I was bust’n his balls about becoming a “daddy”, and like normal, quite cruelly. (Ironic now that I’m a dad…) This buddy Tom is quite the clever one, and told me his son would only know me as “Uncledumpy”. Why? Cause I would take monster dumps at this apartment, not flush, then go home. I know, I was a sick bastard, but damn was it funny when I would get the call “Your such a sick f*ck, my mom just stopped by…” You get the picture… I moved to Las Vegas and the years went by, which I never heard this nic-name… Thought he forgot…

Then I moved back to Phoenix… We were with some friends and we ran into Tom, his wife, and their son, Justin; I was with my very new fiancée and sure enough, the first words out of Justin’s mouth was “Hi Uncledumpy”. After that moment, I was referred to as Uncledumpy by EVERYONE. I couldn’t shake the nickname, so I adopted it.

Oh, when I was using MIF. It was actually a mis-spell for MILF. I loved American Pie. I used --SirKillZALot--/, but it just seemed too dorky. Plus I sucked.

lol- I forgot how funny I am! :)

Kindness wrote in a different thread of his own devising when TraciLords69 directed him here:
I only started playing any form of electronic game last year; I wanted to think of a name that made sense in the various messages that are generated by the game; hence,

You were killed by Kindness.
You killed Kindness.
Kindness left the game.
etc., etc.

There are other names of this type, e.g., The-Bottle, Your-Disease.
I also go by Orren-The-Moron. It was suppose to rhyme, but, doesn't really. and, of course, is itself moronic in that way!

And, Give-Love-Each-Day, from the YES album Magnification, their latest. Seems appropriate for a game of murder, right?

Posted that back on 06-10-2002, 01:59 AM. LOL; back in the day when I had a hard time finishing a match with a score above zero; the Ripper was my nemesis. I haven't played as Orren-The-Moron for a while; I would need to get really drunk, to the point that Orren and Moron start to rhyme again.

Still listening to Give Love Each Day by Yes; it's a great song.

Holy crap! I thought these old threads were deemed too holy to touch! :O

I came UP with my name when I was 11 years old and me and my mates were talking about this awesome new game called counter-strike. :p We talked about starting a clan (Which never happened, I was still on dial up at the time and my PC sucked :p) and I sarted thinking about an online nick I could use.

My first idea was Mean-Immortal, but switched to MeanyMortal when I started playing Warcraft 3 a few years later. I thought it sounded better at the time, now I kinda hate it, I just keep it to avoid confusion.

Anyways, the meaning should be pretty self-explationary. Meany = Me being a mean bastard, Mortal = Everyone's got a weakness, right?
