Malastare Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mine is... somewhat obvious. What isn't obvious is that it was copied from the network name of my XBox when I created my first EA account a long, long time ago, so it's sort of a coincidence to use it here. Why was my XBox named Malastare? Because all network hosts on my home LAN (including all PCs I've built) are given the name of a Star Wars planet: Coruscant = Router Hoth = PC (1997, Pentium 166MMX) Tatooine = PC (1999, Celeron 300A overclock which ran appropriately hot) Dantooine = PC (2002, Athlon 1200) Korriban = PC (2005, Athlon64 3700+) Dathomir = PC (2008, Core2 Q9450) Ryloth = PC (2011, i7 2600K) Olanet = Printer (2007) Balmorra = Printer (2009) Bespin = Laptop (It floats, you see...) Telos = Laptop (2007, resurrected after severe hard drive corruption) Malastare = XBox 360 (2007. RIP in 2011 due to heat stress on the GPU) Mustafar = XBox 360 (2011, named in honor of the previous XBox) Next PC: Tython Next Printer: Kuat Next XBox: Onderon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesixxpack Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Mine is from a movie, (see if you can guess which one without googling) I hear :::vrrrrttt:: "We die..." often in my head when a pvp match is going to **** and teammates are asking in chat "what do we do now?". This handle is from a dumb joke a RL buddy made years ago, which I then used for an email address due to a lack of creativity. I used that email for guild and gaming community forums so it was convenient for a character name too. I mostly played shooter games online then like Swat and the Battlefields where silly names were more common than RPGish ones. When taken or if I had a defunct toon named joesixpack I'd just add the letter 'x' as needed. The most I've had to include is 3. I joined TOR with a gaming community so kept it for familiarity's sake. Edited September 18, 2013 by Joesixxpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suntaru Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hey ya'll, i am sure this has been asked before on hundreds of other forums but how or where did you get your Forum name from? Im just interested to know. Mine is from a movie, (see if you can guess which one without googling) Mine is one I came up with for gaming back in 2002. As for your name, Not sure if you knew but the actor who played that part was Marc Raimi who played Gul Dukat in Star Trek DS9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbaoth Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Heir to the empire book. Yeah I know, not that original, but I like the character so I just had to have that name;). Sadly I lost it in game when my server was merged. Now I am named K'baoth in game, but its just not the same, and quite frankly a bit fail tbh:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Used to play Age of Chivalry and I needed something that sounds noble for my knight. Figured that a title of Lord, my first name Alec and screwing around with Daniel Fortesque's last name (MediEvil anyone?) can give a nice outcome. It kinda got stuck to me.

Drudenfusz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Drudenfusz (or Drudenfuß) is an old German word for pentacle/pentagram. It means literally 'witch's feet' and was named because it was used as a ward against witches best placed on a stepping stone at a buildings entrance to keep witches out. I use it in somewhat of similar purpose, it is my protection against internet trolls, protecting my true identity behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) I got mine from a deaf, dumb, blind kid. Did he play a mean pinball? My username is from a one of those really bad Hong Kong Bootlegs (same kind of thing that "Do not want" came from) of a One Piece movie (anime) where they attempted to translate the character name Usopp into a Chinese pun, and it came out Chuixupu. I use it a lot for a username because it's never taken. Edited September 18, 2013 by chuixupu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazztam Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mine came from Forgotten Realms, a realm from the old DnD game. Wanted to have a ghoulish evil name so I copied Szasstam the lich leader of Thay. Just....misspelled it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was being piffy to my boss about a mistake he made, how it was damaging to one employees rep, so he dubbed me "Lord Artemis"....and it stuck.

znihilist Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Z as my first name starts with a Z and because it can be pronounced as "the", as for nihilist well because I am a darn nihilist, so we end up with znihilist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EranofArcadia Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 All over the internet (at least in places that allow spaces in usernames) I am known as Eran of Arcadia. Eran is a name I gave myself in high school; it's (bad) Tolkien Elvish for "lone wanderer" or something like that. Arcadia is a city in California where I lived briefly in the early 2000s. The idea of putting them together like this came from the TV show "Joan of Arcadia" which was on around that time (and which I never watched).
