Your alias! where did you get yours?
<div class="IPBDescription">And what is were your past ones?</div>(May have been a topic like this in the past. If so, SORRY.)
<b>Out of curiosity, where did you get your name from?</b>
I didn't plan to ever actually post in the forums so I just used the name Bill, it's what my friends call me in real life(No it's not my real name... My brother always referred to me as his "little brother" when he was on the phone and I told him to stop so he said he'd call me "Bill" from now on and it just sort of stuck. Now, everyone I know(except my parents/grandparents) call me that)
<b>ANYWAYS</b>
The names I've used in the past are:
4-Lom: I used this when I first started playing TFC, it's the name of the thief/bounty hunter droid in Tales of Bounty Hunters(a stars wars book--yes, I'm a dork)
IG88: I used this one for awhile in TFC, it's also a Bounty Hunter droid from Star Wars.
-DepthCharge-: I've used this name for an extremely long time, it's a character from Beast Wars(another robot =/)
Now I use the name =Atari=. I got tired of DepthCharge because it sounded too much like the names people use to try and sound "kewl" (Capt. Destruction, Lord of Destruction, Bringer of Destruction, etc, etc) plus people had the really annoying habit of calling me "Death Charge" ingame. Why Atari? I just think the name sounds cool, plus the Atari 2600 was the very first gaming system I owned.
So, how about you guys?

Comments
Noir - Means, "Black" in French. It's the name used by a pair of female assassins in the anime Noir.
Tomodachi - Means, "Friend" in Japanese. I chose it because I'm a friendly guy in RL.
I came up with 'Nemesis', because it sounded cool in the time (remember, I had no web back then), and 'Zero', because it corresponds so well with my scores.
I also used "Roviet" on Westwood Online... come on, thoughts of the Soviet Union and my name (Rohan) just circled through me head until being at the top of the proletariat dictatorship came to a head. =) I also used "comradero" for the same reason.
Some of my past alias's include Grim-System, Zero-Breed, and a few other wierd ones <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
For some other games that I don't play as much, such as Starcraft and Quake 3, I generally go by Exstoxor. This name has absolutely no meaning at all, but it's kind of an interesting (and geeky) story of how I got it. "EXSTOXOR" was actually the randomly chosen name of one of my Temporary Internet folders on my old computer, and I just thought that it sounded really cool so I kept it in mind.
I just got my nick-name from stolling back and forth in my living room while trying to think of a good internet alias. My previous one was "Non-Affiliated", which I didnt like, and my old OLD one was "Big Daddy", which I used BEFORE the movie came out
Nighthawk - didn`t use for a long time
Evil Sonic Death Monkey - a name i used in firearms for 4 months, but i changed recently
h4z3r1d3r - my current name, got it off a card in Magic: The Gathering

I have also been told my name means "Hugeness". I chose it after reading the Myth of Gilgamesh and Enkidu when I was about 8. I thought it sounded cool, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu were taken for AOL (ah . .the good ol days. My first exposure to the Net).
our guild was called Karma Watch at the tiem i was playin a rather bad a$$ monk hehe one day i got a razy crazy crazy HUGE train an someone said that was Wicked Karma.

PS_Mouse - when two aliases love eachother very much...
Mathias, Blade, Norac - I only use these on some RPGS, they will never see the light of an online game
R.i.P FlapperTheDuck <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->
<b>Comp</b> - a short name for what I am typing this on
<b>Rox</b> - A shortened version for "rocks", as in cool and awesome and all that.
Made this name...ooo... 6 or so years ago now? I got it the very first day I got a hotmail accont, back when hotmail was about a month old. I've tried to change it once, but folks in various IRC channels screamed bloody murder, so I left it <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Before that, I used to use CyberFox for the games I would use to play over a Direct Serial Connection with my friends machine, but I changed it before I ever went online. (Ahhh, good ol' Direct Serial gaming, brings back very fond memories of ROTT and Wing Commander: Armada <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> )
Fascinating, No? <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
My second, which is Sinister, I started using after I found out what it meant... And sometimes when Sinister is taken, I go with SinisterEvil instead... (in runescape for example)
And I actually came up with a new alias today which I will be using from now on. I dont remember how its spelled exactly, but it was something like, Giri Bonzb..Bozn..bo.. bah! I dont remember... And I forgot the paper which I wrote it down on in school. Anyways, it means something like, "that which flies like a deer" which I thought sounded funny... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

/me shoves banana up nose
The only other internet alias I've ever had was 'Player'.
I'd change my alias if I could be bothered... but I'm not going to go around changing all my settings and stuff. Everyone knows me as Monkey_830 anyway, so...
then i was Col.Klink for a while in other games
then i moved on to Llama Killer cause i hate gamming llamas!
I have also been told my name means "Hugeness". I chose it after reading the Myth of Gilgamesh and Enkidu when I was about 8. I thought it sounded cool, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu were taken for AOL (ah . .the good ol days. My first exposure to the Net).<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
