How did you come up with your name???

[Wes Marrakesh]

My name...

 

Well, when I was 7 or 8, me and my best friend came up with a game. It was basically an RPG, based heavily on JK1 where we acted the roles out and stuff.

 

Well, I decided my character needed a name other than 9t99 (duh ), so I did a synthesis:

Wes: From Wes Janson, late Rogue Squadron gunner and pilot. I later decided to make it short for Wesley (not my real name BTW).

Marra: Mara Jade. I later added an r to try to fix people's pronunciation. It's Mar-rah, not Mer-ra.

Kesh: I really don't know

 

I've used that ever since I found it in by drawings folder written on a piece of card envelope.

[TheMadDoofer]

I got mine from an old "Garfield" comic when Garfield was throwing snowballs at people.

[gorganfloss]

Hey Mad, isnt ur av from a B&W 2 wallpaper?

[TheMadDoofer]

Yeah, I just cropped it and added some text. I really like the expression on the chicken, so I decided to use it.

 

 

Btw: It's from Creature Isle, not Black and White 2

[Guest Jed]

I wanted a name with Jedi, and I looked at the time. 2:20 AM.

 

 

An era was born on that day.

[Wes Marrakesh]

Oh, BTW... Tyrion, do you play Warhammer or 40k? Does my Av look familiar?

Duh!

I get the two confused sometimes.

 

 

 

And Wes, ur avatar has one of those Trooper dudes. I forget what theyre called.

[Jedi_Monk]

On the boards at http://www.wheeloftime.com my username is Young_Grim; that name comes from a nickname for the Dark One in Wheel of Time, which is Old Grim. I like to keep kind of a theme through my names (99% of the names I have on AOL have "Sky" in them), and so while I was trying to figure out a name for here, I knew I wanted it to be similar to my name on the WoT boards. So, I thought of Jedi, of course, and I'm religious and I've been arguing with people about the Jedi Order being a religion for a long time... I think Jedi have some similarity with Catholic monks (I'm Catholic) so Jedi_Monk.

 

BTW, I don't go through all this elimination and sampling for coming up with characters for my SW fan fic, like some of you guys do... I hang out in chatrooms a lot, so most of the names I've been giving my fan fic characters stem from typoes I've seen and recorded

 

[GonkH8er]

Gonks- power droids from SW.... those boxes with feet from jk1 and 2 that walk round going "gonk gonk".... piss me off to no end

 

 

H8er- Hater- I hate them...

 

 

Last time we had a thread like this Mike Gummelt from raven popped by and posted this for me.

 

 

 

let's see if we can lure more raven employees....

Yep..Dark Angels...I play them too actually..

 

Oh yeah..my name..um I never played warhammer, but when I saw that name in White Dwarf,it clicked with me:D

[Elijah]

I used to make programs in VB and my nickname was ZX... i did some staff work for a local kids camp and they wanted me to use an animal name... so i picked Dog,then Dogg then Dawg... when i got home i sat down to my ZX nickname and wanted a change... i'm now ZDawg

[thehomicidalegg]

i just wanted to make some stupid name for some game, and this one kind of stuck.

[.:Silver:.]

When the bad guys come and can't be stopped, a little silver usually does the trick.

[BCanr2d2]

Mine was one I wanted to use since I hoped no one would have the combo.

 

BCan is the initial of my first name, and the first three letters of my last, and R2D2 was an easy one to add onto the end, to remember as a hint for my password......

[Pad]

for those who dont know, my name contains two sw characters.

do i need to explain more?

[Surfnshannon]

i think everyone has wondered what my name is...I wish i had something more creative and meaningful so don't be dissapointed..

 

ITs all my pets names!

 

ST: My boyfriend Scott and his last name

T: Toby my white pomeranian dog

C: Cuby my Yorkshire Terrior dog at my parents

T: Tinker my old dog to commemorate her

 

 

Before that my name was Surfnshannon cuz I'm into watersports

[Kstar__2]

well, my first name is Kilian, as an internet- surname i came up witch starmaker, so it became Kilian Starmaker, than i had to short it, it became KStar, on the zone, the name was already taken, so i made it kstar2, than that account got lost, so i made it kstar_2, and that account also got lost, so i made it KStar__2, great isn't it:D

[FatalStrike]

My name has too parts and they both came from Futbol.

 

I played futbl for about 16 years and I always played at the forward position, otherwise known as the "stiker."

 

Well once we were practicing and we had two goalies and the coach couldn't decide who to start. So he told us to play a mixed game with the JV team and he would see which handled himself better. Well it was 0 to 0 and almost time to head him when I hit the goalie in the face with a shot knocking him backwards and then following up the shot for a goal.

 

He lost the starting spot and had a swollen face.

 

He told me later while having some chemical entertainment "that was a fatal shot to me, man, couldn't you have played defense for once!" - it made us all laugh for like 10 minutes.

 

Fatal = Striker

FatalStrike

 

tada!!!

 

I also go by DaRKiguANA - don't ask.

[ZBomber]

ZBomber:

 

Z = Zelda

Bomber = Group/Gang people in Majora's Mask for N64. This name was orignially for my Zelda site, but I've used it everywhere since then.

[PhantomHelix]

*shakes fist at Leemu Taos* DAMN YOU! ARGH! im just kiddin....but this is annoying. i was planning on posting this EXACT THREAD last night, but my comp froze and my dad wanted me off..........DARN YOU!

 

Well, Phantom827 is kinda simple...

 

Phantom is the callsign i have used in every game ive ever owned (dunno, just sounds cool for a pilot or trooper or w/e)

and 827 is the number that my friend and i always used to use for emails and screennames and stuff (ie: drgn827 at massassi.net, mhl827 at AIM, umpah827, etc...)

 

and PhantomHelix is cool too. Phantom is phantom (duh) and helix comes from a song. if you have ever heard the remix of High Voltage on REANIMATION by linkin Park, he says "i twist my cords in double helixes and show em what im made of". so i looked up helix in the dictionary, and it said "a mysterious symbol" or somethin like that, so i put Phantom and Helix together to get PhantomHelix.

 

also, for my website, the title is Phantom Helix Productions, which, cooly enough, turns out to be abbreviated as PHP (no its not intentional, i swear. i didnt see that until days later.). so theres my story.....

[TiE23]

I liked shooting down Tie fighters in Rouge Leader, so I put Tie, but it was already used, Then Tie 23, (it kinda rimed(sp))

[Jedi_Monk]

for those who dont know, my name contains two sw characters.

do i need to explain more?

Huh... I always thought it was a reference to Padme and Japanimation (anime)... oh well, ya learn something new every day...

 

 

[The Truthful Liar]

I've had the name AB_Legion since 1998 and I originally came here to recruit players. So I kept it. ; )

 

Later on however, I had the inspiration (almost one year ago) to create a new name (an editing name if you will, rather my gaming name). After some periods of deep thinking "Truthful Liar" suddenly just clicked and I've had that as my other alias ever since.

[SkinWalker]

I've always held a fascination with Native American tradition and ceremonies, in fact, I "bought" the rite for pouring a Sweat Ceremony and have poured a couple dozen or so (try Google: "sweat ceremony" for more info).

 

SkinWalker is based on the Navajo legend where a Navajo "witch" can take on the form of other animals, people, etc. (usually a coyote). The name is similar to SkyWalker, and since I was using this handle already, I thought it appropriate for Jedi Knight.

 

Even more so, after I quickly discovered how to switch skins with a bind so I can use another character's taunt! I usually stick to the Red Stormie, but switch to Lando to say "Woooohoooo!"

 

I think I'm also the only Lucasforums member to use a Native American theme in Avatars.... wish there were more though.

 

We can start a tribe... take our land back from the White Eyes (in CTF games <grin>).

 

I want to hear how Living Sacrifice got his name! Cjais, where you at Bro'?

 

And LeXX... here all this time I thought your name had to be Alexis or Alexandra or ....

 

Cheers!

SkinWalker

 

[Stormcrow]

In Tolkien's The Two Towers, Gandalf is referred to as 'Gandalf Stormcrow' by King Theoden of Rohan.
