When I was looking for my name I just had bought my new snowboard bindings plus I had that RIDE poster in front of me. Little did I know this name would stick with me.
I have a number of aliases Jerick, Fald, Andaris, De'Lacue, Lourseair, Hendric that I use each and every single one of them is a character from storys and books I've never written. The reason for this is this array of fictional characters represent more to me than they ever could to any reader. They represent parts of my personality, my asperations and my fears. It's for this reason that my behavour is actualy greatly effected by the name I choose. For example Jerick is extreamly stealthy and usualy avoids direct attention attempting to stick to the fringes of your view. So when I have an account with the alias Jerick I find myself lurking alot.
well the x stands for xbox, station is playstation, and I made my e-mail when I was 14. The name I use for most games today is scabies. I dunno why I chose it it just sort of stuck with me ;P

lol, apparently I'm not the only vodka on the forums :)) though mine is Austrian, not Russian
its funny when people try to pronounce my name in online games (monopoly?) but usually it gets shortened to 'mono'
good topic! mine started as a result of role play gaming in RIFTS and playing lots of quake. We had recently got the <a href="http://www.palladiumbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=809&Category_Code" target="_blank">Wormwood supplement</a> and I was practically obsessed with it's dark medieval chaos. Think Warhammer 40k dark in a feudal europe, where disease and decay is rampant, demons and angles fight holy wars and the famine stricken peasants saviours are shamans of blood and the church. Really epic stuff.
Wurmspawn was a character made of an <a href="http://rifts.wikia.com/wiki/Apok" target="_blank">Apok</a> OCC Class, a holy warrior but half demon. Antihero type of thing. His story diverged from the setting background into my <a href="http://shashnia.pbworks.com/" target="_blank">own world</a> quickly.
The name comes from his story, lusting for power, making deals with demons, discovering he was their pawn, trying to turn on them, getting obliterated, having the gods rescue him, his flesh rebuilt on his bones from the bodies of the demonic Wurms that devoured him. And generally kicking ass. I frickin love Q1 too. NIN doing the soundtrack, playing long grinders in DM# series against reaper bots and friends
So yeah, then Wurmspwn was my name (8chars, i'm old) and <a href="http://shashnia.pbworks.com/wurmspawn" target="_blank">I'm working on the novel of his complete tale.</a>
The alias i used during the time i played NS was Nosferatu which came from an old German film about Dracula. People on Ventrilo however could never pronounce it right so it often got shortened to Nos or Nosseh, which over time evolved into Nossah.
Came up with this name when NS was still in Beta. After I decided to change names for the first in my history of gaming. I was looking for neat Word/Letter/Number combinations that looked neat and settled on Zero7. Why? Because of the similarity of form between Z and 7.
I didn't find out until years later that there was an actual European Band named Zero7.
Despite this I haven't really deviated from using this name for the better part of a decade now. Sometimes I'll use Zairo7 when Zero7 is taken (sadly far more often than naught now... If only I could return to the good old days of yester-year). Though now I occasionally also use KitS. Same thing, just wanted something different- I have no idea how I came up with it.
P.S. To any REALLY old folks out there who might remember me: Hey :) How you doin'? :D
Also. FIRST POST IN YEARS! ZOMG!
P.P.S. Member 301 and still only a "foul beast" with less than 150 posts!? Yes, I do lurk HARD CORE. How do I post stuff!? WHAT'S ALL THIS NEW-FANGLED GADGETRY? NS2? WHAT'S THAT!?!?

Somehow, it seems more fitting - you extravagant fairy you! <3 ...Also: Hello!
Oh erh, yeah, my nick. To the pervs: no, no, my nick is not to be understood like that! It's a combination of 'Harry Potter' and 'Dirty Harry'. The story is well, rather simple, I needed a nick so I was talking to my brother about it - back in the day I had a slight resemblance to Harry Potter on the Danish Cover of the book, and a Dirty Harry movie was on the night we talked. Somehow the two were combined - these days I wonder how the hell that happened.
One problem with the nick: Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, think of the nick in the wrong way. Somehow a combination between Harry Potter and Dirty Harry is just alien to people :P (I wonder why!) ...Well, I've begun using the nick 'Nukaen' to some extent, partly due to aforementioned problem with the other nick, and partly because Dirty Harry Potter is too long for some things (and DHP is too short!). Not sure I'll stick with that though, I might try and find another alternative nick at some point, or just stick with DHP some more.
Well back when I started playing natural selection, I was 12 or 13 when it came out. I pretty much changed my name weekly from random crap.
It wasn't till 2006 that I settled on the name "blut" and started to become a better player. Blut is the German word for blood, but sadly everybody thought it was a goofy name and kept pronouncing it as "bl uh t" over the microphone.
Shortly after I changed my name to wulf, which has a lot of cultural significance to me, (i dont know why i didn't change my name to this earlier). So if you happen to see a wulf, or an athawulf on games where nicks are registered, it's probably me!
Washuu was my favorite character from Tenchi Muyo. Washuu, with two u's specifically is the best case scenario for romanized phonetic spelling. The actual english translation of the character is Washu. At the time when I started using this alias I was about 14 or 15, so I am amazed I chose that way and stuck with it. Tenchi Muyo and Washuu are definitely made a huge impact in my life, so I have never left that alias. I may not be a girl, but I have red hair. ^^ Since I got into FPS, I have yet to have a different name than other Washuu for more than a month.
Now I am learning Japanese and plan to become a translator since I am deeply involved in Japanese culture.

This is the first callsign I used with the first multiplayer game I played(over the modem). It came from the game Terminal Velocity and the name of the ship I would always play as was called Razor. After playing more and more multiplayer games HL, UT, etc I made it longer and added 'Claw' to the end. But still even after that I'd see so many people using my name that it killed the uniqueness of it. So I usually come up with new names all the time and remain extremely anonymous.
Today I was thinking of requesting a new name.Razor_anonymous maybe? eh
I played Americas Army 2.0 and this is where i first came up with this name. It was based on my affinity of using the sniper rifle to kill things ("focused" get it). Later on i thought the name seemed a bit to long and formal [and very hard for people to say with a mic], so i just started using "Wolf" in game.

Not very dramatic is it?
