Where did your name originate from?

Dom - My first name, pretty obvious to be honest

Old school nickname. Something to do with a drummer.

BW

 

[[AK]Zip]

[AK] Started about 5 years ago A = first initial of first name K = first initial of last name. Zip started back when Duke Nukem 3D when I played that online. I needed an original name and there you have it.

You could've put "Gloed" which is the way to make the umlauts into english.

Hey, it's nice to see you again Purk! I hope the A100Tis are doing well

Anyway, my favourite PCDP inspired this one, since I didn't want to use my "game name" Tiger005 on here since I wasn't sure if I'd stay.

Yes I could have of course.

I actually used Glöd first, but I messed it up with changing the email address and password back and forth, making the moderators crazy, I suppose

It got deleted.

Never mind, it’s a "long" time ago. The current spelling is a practical and, well, “spotless” one.

 

[PDream]

Short for PhantomDream

It's a name I made up because I needed anoriginal name

(My previous name was Raven, which I prefer to be called. From Quoth The Raven "Nevermore", name before that was Kaze, wind in Japanese)

 

[burndtjamb]

I just love this Weezer song from the Maladroit album.

 

[MexicanDragon]

Mexican - I lived in redneckville, I was mexican (a pretend mexican, adopted, i know like 37 spanish words, its sad really. Maybe I should have been Mexican'tDragon)
Dragon - Someone called me The Mexican Dragon in HS. Worked better than

Another option - The Sloth King (Great animal, especially the two-toed amazon river basin sloth, my personal fav), but that came due to me being slothful.

The Latino Buffalo... well, seriously, would YOU want to be called the latino buffalo? I mean, come on? (Wait for it... wait for it. Ok, a long enough pause to be a reference to Jimmy from south park) Ok, come on, "Latino Buffalo" doesn't even have the word "Dragon" in it. Some people

**BRENT**

Seriously, I should sleep.

 

[GLF]

GodLikeFool

Freshman year at college and I needed a name for playing rouge spear online. I tried Godlike, but I sucked at the game, so I added fool on the end to account for my lack of skill, and it has stuck ever since. I shortened it to GLF to make it easier to type.

[crazyfrenchman27]

Age of Kings online, when I liked to play the French.

I was crazy enough to claim frenchness when I'm not the least bit french (I'm Swedish/German), so there you go...plus I'm kind of crazy in general, as witnessed by my activity on this site.

[adhoc]

oh, mine was just an ad-hoc invention.

 

[KYTGuy]

Among my many other DIY pursuits, one of the longest lived interests I have enjoyed is that I make and compete with Kites, banners and windtoys...we have three vehicles and a camper in the family, Licensed respectively, KYTGUY, KYTGAL, KYTGRL, and KYTBOX.

Ah, Rogue Spear. A very good game indeed, I do, however...still love Rainbow 6 the best out of the series...and "R6:"3 is a blast to play at LANs.

 

[MD1032]

Mine comes from my favorite game of all time, Descent. MD1032 is the callsign of the pilot.
