Unofficial WarBoards nickname thread (tell us who you are!)

[Kazansky]

Hello, fellow WarBoarders... Maj. Kazansky here, and I just came up with a new plan to fight against utter BOREDOM!!!

Tell us the meaning or origin of your nicknames (or even your own made-up definition)!!

Ex.

"Kazansky" -- Red Army chemical trooper. Drives a T-120 Assault Tank and commands the Russian Khimichemskomy (Chemical) Brigade. (--from my mod, 'StarCraft: Cold War')

Go ahead, try it!! It's fun! :D

[Carnage]

Not that I expect you to use search or common sense, but I'll cite precedent anyway.

Whats in a name (how did you come up with your username) (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=2363)
Where did you get your nickname? (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=4710)
What is(are) safe nickname(s) for your username? (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=2475)

Threads like this have been done to death.

But I digress... ^^

Carnage, Carny, Carn, Crayonage, Canrage, Camarage, Carnie, etc. It all means the same thing. Been naming accounts and usernames after Spider-man's Carnage pretty much since I played Spider-man for Playstation 1. :P

[Aqo]

well... my nick is a short of "Aqouarian Trooper" which is a name of a unit in a mod...

[Mtank]

my name is my name...sort of.

[Geno]

Name: Larry "Geno" Meyers

Yea, the Geno came from many places. Contrarty to popular belief, it really started back back back in the day. I remember when my friend, Luke, was playing gangsters. Well, I joined in, and he called me 'Big Gino.' and so I was like "Yea, but I don't want the real big Gino to hurt me," so I changed it to Geno. In the end, that's REALLY how it started... It sounds so stupid, though... -.-'

Eventually SMRPG came out on the SNES, and I played it to death. Geno > 90% of monsters in that game. Expecially when he has the Scrooge Ring on ;) Lower FP = teh sexah.

After that, I kept using the name. I also looked it up prior to SMRPG (Where I acutally started using it), and found out it means things such as 'Strength,' 'Power,' and 'Knowledge,' and such. Of course, this is according to some long, lost website. But that's when I started using the name for real. It ORIGINATED from back when I played Gangster with Luke...

Now you know how it REALLY came into being. But really, since then, I've used it everywhere. Back on original AOL, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, E-mail, whenever I write poetry, sign things... Etc. I use it. To be quite honest, though, my real name is Lawrence Michael Meyers. I just use Larry "Geno" Meyers because 1. It sounds cooler, and 2. It lets me someone I can't ever be. I know that's wrong, and it goes against my own saying, but in reality, Geno is who I am at heart.

Geno's more of a double life for me. Larry is my real name, and it has a real life. Geno is my online name, and lives the online life. It sounds strange to refer to myself in 3rd person in this sense, but it's pretty much how it works. I'm Geno online, although people still call me Larry. Online, I have more of a calm attittude about things, and most of the time, I'm pretty serious, except when gaming or something. Larry's my care free side. He's the one that does everything how he wants, has fun with life, and lives it to it's fullest.

Basically, put the two together, and it's perfectly me! ^.^

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

[Basan]

Well, mine is a mix between parts (syllables) of my names, my mothers name and the place where I was born. :devil:

Oh, wait... That includes my 2nd allias name also. :confused:
*Lol*

[Seal]

i like seals.

[Carnage]

i like seals.

Here's your cookie. Now go away. ;P

[Eros]

Koomann wasn't my desired name for WarBoards; I'd made the transition from koomann to Eros at Blizzforums a while back - and have stuck with Eros since. Sadly, however, there was some weird happenings with the username database (when WarBoards was first started), and Eros was already taken. So, I registered my old nick - koomann. I've been waiting for AJ to change my name to Eros since the day I registered, so I guess I'll just keep waiting.

Eros comes from Greek mythology. You can read up more about it [b]here (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/e/eros.html); and I didn't name myself after Cupid. It's the other Eros.

[Sheep_Have_Wool]

I'm not telling.

[Graeme]

I just picked random letters from around my room and assembled in a fasion such that they spelled the word "Radlin". ^_^

[Thereisnocowlevel]

It's 73|-| (|-|347 (0|)3 70 \/\/1|\|
And I like winning.

[Subjukator]

im a gamer. figure

[Nahotnoj]

well, first off I'll tell you my name is completely origonal. Go to Google and search for Nahotnoj, all the results = Me. :D

i'll edit tis post when i get back in 3 hours to how i came up with my name.

[Zeltaris]

Well... I don't want to explain my name... umm... well, it comes from some old fanfics I wrote which are now lost forever. Zeltaris was one of the three main characters. For further reference, check the Starcraft RPs in the RP forum!

btw, Zeltaris is also an anagram of certain letters in my name ^^! Cool coincidence, huh?

[Mtank]

incidently, eros is the name of a company that builds shopping malls in my city as well. ;p

[Xenon]

Nahotnoj: You name is really Jonathan, but you didn't spell it right when you wrote it backwards.

[Valjean]

If I remember correctly, this is the equation Nahot made to describe how he made his name; or at least an equation that's simular.

"Jonathan ---Spelled-Backwards--> Nahtanoj ----Coolerized---> Nahotnoj"

[Nahotnoj]

The explenations i've typed for my name in previous threads:

My name started about 6 years ago, when my friend and i started playing "scenarios" outside which would be like rpgs, but acting out what was happening. He had his name "the evil emporer Maharba" but i didnt have a scenario name, and he encouraged me to come up with one, so by spelling my first name backwords, adding and subrtracting a few letters, and adding a custom title, i had "the dark lord Nahotnoj" which over a few years became Nahotnoj the assasin (my favorite title so far) and now, my internet screenname for everything is Nahotnoj.
Jonathan --> reversed = Nahtanoj ---> coolzorzerized = Nahotnoj = cool game for live action RP, although i dont online RP... although i keep wanting to start, i cant seem to get around to it... and i also go by Rehosrog (reh proounced as in like Eh, Hos (long o sound i think, although i cant remember any of that long or short crap sounds like aww), rog. That comes from a semi-language my friend and i made once, that's how you say Nahotnoj in that language.
Thats basically the story of my name. and for short you can call me Nahot or Jon.

[Scauthra]

well, first off I'll tell you my name is completely origonal. Go to Google and search for Nahotnoj, all the results = Me.

Same with my name, 'Scauthra'. I wanted a name all for myself, one that no other person on the net used. And in the end when it came down to switching, I came to use Scauthra. 'Skah-th-rah'

I was previously known as Shankz, which is what most/some of the forumers here still call me, because even with a new name, I am still Shankz, at heart. The reason I changed from Shankz to Scauthra was because, I had troubles creating accounts with Shankz without it already being used. Which I had alias as NekoShankz, dbzShankz(first one ever when I was a retarded DBZ fanboi) koiShankz and so on down the line. I eventually got fed up with makeing stupid extensions for my name, and switched to Scauthra.

So there you have it. The very poorly written but well accurate story of my name.

Oh, and how I got the name Shankz was, I was talking to myself and started to carve the word into my bedroom door. Pshycho? I would say so. "You love.... you care... you are... S-H-A-N-K-Z... Yes... oohh..."

Before that I was IoJupiter o.o I dare not discuss that name ^.^

[Subjukator]

you know, i just noticed this. if you wanted to, you could type my name into yahoo and find out every single forum or website that has my name on it.

[dunchy]

Carnage, Carny, Carn, Crayonage, Canrage, Camarage, Carnie, etc. It all means the same thing. Been naming accounts and usernames after Spider-man's Carnage pretty much since I played Spider-man for Playstation 1. :P

Tenshi's love doll, you forgot that one :D

[ZombieKing]

Well, my name's pretty simple, it started back when my friends and I always played Magic, I usually only used a black death full of zombies so my friends started calling me ZombieKing.

See, I told you it was pretty simple.

[TheGreatBrain]

I was sitting at the Registration page at Blizzforums, wondering what my name should be. I filled this in because it was the first good-sounding name that came to mind. That's it.

[Sikawtic]

about ... a year, or two ago, me and a friend had the greatest dreams of becoming l33t h4xXorZ!! so we sat for five minutes making up names. I was (some say am) crazy ... so i wanted somethign to do with that trait in my name. Psychotic (which i wanted to spell funny) became Si'Kawtic (i later took out the ')

2nd part- I am a christian, and was at church when i made the name up, and so i thought, holy knight, which is Paladin. So i put them together, to make SiKawticPaladin.

I do believe it is original (at least the spelling).

[Ragnarox]

Ragnarox= Ragnarock, or the Armageddon in Norse mythology. Supposedly it is the day when all the bad things that could happen, happen all at once. This is also when the eternal warriors of Valhala rise to live once agian to combat the...bad things. I see myself as one of those bad things as several of my friends and I are on a World Domination Team and are seriously planning to conquer the world someday and eventually destroy it.

[Kazansky]

Erm... trust me... one of those crazies back at the Soviet-empire forums are gonna beat you to it. Especially that guy whose custom title is, "WE GOT GUNS AND SH*IT!!"

Anyway, you all know what my name means, right? Well, it's not just from my mod. It's from a 115 page book I made when I was 12... (Damn, that was a long time ago.) Go to the "Oh my goodness" forum and you'll see a picture of the original Alexei Kazansky as he was created.

[Basan]

Woa... I followed my allias in a web dictionary and it seems 2 be an health related syndrome disorder. *Yipes!*
Eh, go figure! :confused:

[Demon_Child]

I have had Demon Child as a username for 3 and a half years now ever since I first registered at Starcraft.org. Most of the common slaves around here usually call me DC, for short. :)

[Dezzick]

I got this nickname (When i was 6 years old!) registering on the lego club, (I think i've still got that old account.) And I just stuck with it.

[GrassDragon]

Back when Neopets was cool (5 years or more ago?) I wanted to sign up with the name GreenDragon, because green is my favorite color, and I like dragons (I was so creative). Of course that was taken already, so I had to pick something else. And I absolutely hate usernames with numbers on the end. I think I tried EarthDragon next (which was also taken) and eventually settled for GrassDragon. I think there may be another person that uses that name, but I'm not sure.

[Fred1000000]

Fred! It all startd when I made up a little peasent...

[singo]

hmm, chronic thread necromancy, but whatthe hell

my last name is singleton, Singo just sorta arose at school.

My name on all other forums and SC.org is BeardyWierdy, because in the pub before a beer festival a mates dad was having a rant about "Beardy Wierdies"

buggers with crap facial hair that wear shorts, socks and sandals
I have been caught with all the above :D, I was also drinking superlager at the time

There is no worse image :D

[Frattimonde]

Isn't there an older thread like this one?

[Fred1000000]

This IS the older one.

[singo]

no, read the first page, there are three others that got linked to

[mcflurry_1982]

well i came up with mine about 5 years ago. at that time mcflurries were just beginning to become popular. mcflurry started off as a small joke on my last name, which is fury. the 1982 is obviously my year of birth.

[The_Maker]

Well originally way back in..... late 2003 I was an empire earth fan, and it was one of those days where you just want to get into some "mischeif" and I looked around on Google for ways to "modify" Empire Earth. when I came across heavengames and the sub website Empire Earth (http://ee.heavengames.com) I was the happiest kid in the world. I had never registered at any websites before so it was a new world to me, I decided to (this was a really stupid idea) to take my first name and the year of my birth of a user name. I stayed there for a little while made some skin mods, posted here and there and made one really horrid Pearl Harbor Scenario (bleah) Well.... that got really old really fast because that site was dying dying... (and still is dying :P) dead. So I went to another sub website of another game which I loved called Starwars Galactic Battegrouds The Clone Campaigns (http://swgb.heavengames.com). It was more active and had lots more freedom of modding but.... there was a catch. The game was so old that the units were 2d sprites! That didn't really get my hopes up high so I just sorta "wandered" around there for a while. Before all of this happend I was a hardcore starcraft fanatic... but it got kind of old losing over and over again without cheating (I was only 10 at the time so bear with me).

Well, before I knew it, 04 was here! I got some cool stuff from my folks for Christmas and other things but I was still kind of bored with my Sh!tmachines.... I mean Emachines XD computer. For a little while I had wanted a laptop but could never save up for it. Another one of those days came when I just wanted to "dig up some dirt" so i went to their mods section and to my amazment one guy (I think his name was cafa) made a mod thatr changed one of the units to Predator Fenix. That got me really hyped up so I went to search the forums to see if he had any other mods like that, he had one small one but it wasn't very interesting. His thread had a link to Starcraft.org It had always been my greatest dream to modify starcraft and make it into tosmething "out of the box". Since I was still visiting the Star Wars site I was still in a semi starwars mood so the first thing that came to mind was "The Maker" Quoted from C-3PO. And the name has more or less been my only username where ever I go.

[FeralKhan]

Whoa, talk about flogging an old thread :concern: .

Well, I might as well join the bandwagon now......

I came up with FeralKhan simply because I thought it sounded cool. Also, I like to read up on history, especailly on Mongolian Warlords :) .

[The_Maker]

Whoa, talk about flogging an old thread :concern: .

Well, I might as well join the bandwagon now......

I came up with FeralKhan simply because I thought it sounded cool. Also, I like to read up on history, especailly on Mongolian Warlords :) . Well its still fun :)

[Markpyro]

Mark - Hmmm, lets all guess where this comes from, shall we?

Pyro- I am, by heredity, A pyromaniac. I can sit for well over an hour just playing with a small candle... guess how long I can play with a bonfire... xD Anyways, I always take these little bamboo shoot thingys and stick 'em under a boiling pot of water on the stovetop, making the shoot egnite. I wave it around until I can't see the embers anymore, then I stick it right back under....

Anyways. My friends call me "Pyro" or just "Mark" on Halo, and I'm called MP for short in teh IRC and over Instant messenger.

[kongurous]

I wanted something that was different, and put down what hit my mind. Now, I am Kongurous. On other sites, I'm Katackatrohica. Kongurous was a random thought but Katackatrohica, which I derived from Kataphraktoi, which is a Byzantine unit in Medieval Total War. Kudos to The Creative Asembly(CA)and Activision for making the game and Rome Total War, CA for making the Total War series, and to CA and EA making the original Total War game, Shogun Total War. And after counting, I typed Total War, including that one, 6 times.

[Sikawtic]

I had a name creation session. I picked SiKawticPaladin. Eventually I chopped off the Paladin, for who knows what reasons. Later, the capatilzed K started to bug me, so I asked teh AJ if he would make it lower case. Which brings me to teh name I have currently "Sikawtic".

[Kazansky]

PSYCHOTIC!!! My favorite word! And my favorite knight in gold armor with a smiley for a helmet!

[the_invisible]

well it came out of my mind invisibility

[chibi]

Chibi-> Japanese for Small :)
Chibi also comes from Sailor Moon which is my favourite Anime and my favourite character chibi-usa which means small rabbit. Rabbits are my favourite animal too. I've used it a lot since sailor moon first came out when I was in about grade 3 so yeah...

I'm kinda short too so it makes up for being the small part :P

[Stonehand]

Stone- the first part of Stonehenge
Hand- I WILL (eventually) RULE YOU ALL(all refering to people I hate in B.net) WITH A SONE FIST!! I'm too cheap to get an Iron fist.

[Sikawtic]

Chibi also means super distorted (when used as an anime term), as seen in dragon ball z and such, basically they are midgets.

PSYCHOTIC!!! My favorite word! And my favorite knight in gold armor with a smiley for a helmet! :D yay!

[Hawthorne]

*Hotorn

Let's see there have been speculations about my account.
Some people thinks it comes from Hortorn and no it doesn't!!!

I read a book written by William R. Forstchen called The Lost Regiment " Rally Cry" & " Allies Forever"
The character which I most liked and resembled me in a way was called Vincent Hotorn.

I liked it and started writing it everywhere I could :)

The only other nickname I've had is Zion which was the name of a Paladin I had on a Diablo 2 Server :)

[t3trino]

when i used to play tetrinet, i used tetri. then when i was playing pokemon jolteon was my favorite pokemon so i got joltz. then i combined the 2 to make tetrijoltz. i used that for some time but then i got bored and i wanted to change it and during the period i read about positrons and neutrinos so i twisted tetrijoltz and got tetrino. when on the old Sc.org site i saw how everyone substituted e with 3 so i got t3trino. tadaaa!

[Modred]

Mine is simple. In Le Morte d'Arthur, Tennyson spells Mordred with only one r, creating Modred. I like Tennyson, and it's a cool name. End of story. And it generally isn't already taken.

[Sperate]

Alasseo is my name (roughly, and depending on who you ask for the meaning of my name) in Quenya. Fairly well does my personality as well.

Orodreth, which I'll change to Alasseo eventually, is an Elf in the Silmarillion who rules over Nargothrond for a short time, and is the father of Gil-Galad, though Christopher Tolkien messed it up when he published the Sil.

I will eventually go over to my name in a language of my own that I'm working on. I'm something of an amature linguist.

[ROBOTRON]

You guys all have cool names.
I must think of a good one.
For now..I am ROBOTRON. I am a ROBOT. Greetings and salutations, humanoid lifeforms.

[Battlecruiser]

From the starcraft unit.

[King_Templar]

Well, my Username is King_Templar, which was originally was ]{ing ']['emplar. I had just played an StarCraft map with that sort of fancy lettering, and that was the name I liked the best. I later changed it to King_Templar when i registered here, because...], [, {, and ' aren't allowed in usernames. So, i've been going by that. Though, i have found that it isn't always available. I also go by Sientir, which is a name that just flowed from my head in an RP thread that has since died (i think). Kind of a complicated story, but the thread is interesting, so read it if you feel like finding it. It was the first StarCraft Aftermath RP. Anyway, not much more than that.

Oh, and i like Protoss best. And most people call me KT for short, because it is a lot shorter and easier to spell than King_Templar, though some people call me King_T and i've also seen Templar.

[Terran_Marine]

On Starcraft I almost always play as Terran. I love to send 12 marine and 4 medics to solve my troubles, plus Marines look awesome. Also, when I am old enough to be able to, I'm going to get into the Marine Corps.

[Killphill]

Me? Well people usualy just call me "Phill" for short.

[Hawthorne]

My real name is Alex but I used Hotorn because it has Hot in it :)
( Just joking :P )
