Well, we've gone far too long without handling this staple forum topic...
What's the meaning of your forum member name here? Where does it come from? As for me, mine's not too terribly creative. JediMAC = Jedi (duh) + my initials...
So what about the rest of you... Explain those crazy forum names out there to the rest of us!
-
Not much explaining for me, back in the day when I registered on the StarWars.com thing, I wanted the nickname 'TuskenRaider', but it was taken... so, I thought up the next coolest thing....
AngryEwok
...Well, here I am.
-
Mine is simple. There are the initials of my name. Short & simple & easy to remember. Over at Snowtroopers, I am none as Vlix. That's the only site I use with that name. All the rest are DSJ. My avatar is the same all over too. ;)
-
Well mne is refernce to my military days. I started using the id on the military sites and instead of trying to remember differnt ones for the other sites I kept it the same or close when it was already taken.
recon is the type of units I was in and Sgt was short for my rank which was sgt-SFC through out the years.
-
I came up with my name when I was over at the old CSW boards and looking at the EP2 spoilers and some one was saying how it could be possible that the young Kenobi might actually be Darth Vader and Anakin be the older Kenobi that we see in the OT. So I took decided to use it.
-
Well.....if you know Zuckuss, you've fought half the battle.
My lucky number is 4, but 4 fours is too much, so I cut it down to two. Seems fine to me, so I kept it.
Half the time, I'm Zuckuss44, other times I'm Pizza the Hutt in honor of Space Balls.
-
Boba Binks
I came up with Boba Binks around Episode 1. At the time everyone's favorite character seemed to be Boba Fett and everyone seemed to hate Jar Jar Binks. So I put the two together and came up with Boba Binks - The most feared Bounty Hunter on Naboo. :)
-
RJP RogueJediPrincess. Think Leia with a darker side ;)
-
I just combined the names of my two favorite SW characters:
Boba Fett+BoShek= Me ;D
-
Well I like clone troopers and the rest is a combination of my initials I've been using since'I've been on the internet. ;)
-
Yeah another BoShek fan!
-
Well, I found myself thinking one day: Chewie is a very intelligent Wookiee, so in adverse, there must also be really dumb wookiees. Wookiees are pretty big creatures as well, so I couldn't help but toss together BigDumbWookiee. There has to be a lot of them in the Star Wars galaxy, and what's funnier than an idiotic animal that can rip your arms off? :)
-
Yeah another BoShek fan!
That brings the grand total to 2. :)
-
mine is pretty simple everyone i know calls me max or maxwell and i'm the first one on any of the sites using max as a forum name, and you get max_one. as for the avatars just some of my favorite characters.
-
Well, for those of you that don't know me from GH, RS, or the OBFFC, I am quite possibly the worlds biggest Jango Fett fan.
My devotion runs deeper than the normal fanboy. It's not the aesthetics of the character so much as it is the raw presence. Temuera Morrison is the embodiment of Jango Fett, and there is no one else that could play the role.
I currently have the worlds largest collection of Jango Fett memorabilia, and I pride myself on that!
I added two new items today as a matter of fact and those can been seen at http://www.angelfire.com/jangosapt/welcome (http://www.angelfire.com/jangosapt/welcome), also known as "Jango's Apartment". :D
-
the name is from a story that I wrote.Working with some friends on animating it.Too expensive for live action.Thats all plain and simple.Any oither inferences are most likely accurate in their assumptions.The name speaks for itself.I like jedi so that explains the avatar.Wish I could figure out how to use my photoshop.

#1 1998 just so happened to be the year I got married, most of my friends were unmarried at the time and to them I became...Old
#2 After a very successful Fantasy Football season in 1998 (I think I went 15-2 and set many scoring records), my league mates thought I was way too cocky. Hey, drafting Randy Moss, Randall Cunningham and Fred Taylor deserves some degree of cockiness...Cocky
There is a rapper of the Wu-Tang Clan that goes by the name of Ol' Dirty Bastard (http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/bio.asp?oid=6512&cf=6512)...who goes by the initials ODB and whose popularity peaked in 1998 as well.
Somewhere in late 1998, my friends put the three above together and started calling me OCB...the name has been with me ever since. It is also is a fine buffet house as well, the Old Country Buffet (http://www.buffet.com/index.html), of which I have no affiliation ;)
-
Mikey is a variation of Michael and the D stands for Davidson, my last name. Very simple and to the point. I was known as davidson over at SSG and the early stages of BHC. When the option of the name change came, I've decided to change but keep it similar. I'm known as Mikey D over at RS, GH, here and everywhere else I've registered. If you see the name, it's most likely me.
The avatar is the number of my favorite Nascar driver, Robby Gordon, driver of the Chevy Monte Carlo Cingular Wireless car. Now that football season is over and I no longer want to display the Pats logo and Nascar is the predominant sport I'll watch until football season begins, the change has been made.

Bumpin for FX-7

dustrho...
dust = dusty (a nickname I have with some friends of mine)
rho = rhoads (1st three letters in my last name)
"dustrho" was my old Windows NT login name when I used to work at CDW back in 1998. It just stuck as a better nickname than "Dusty" so that's my username for just about everything.
-
Depeche Mode.
It's also my old gamer name I have used for the past 6 years... It has just been retired I am afraid though in the past couple weeks... to Jawa Chief, for my star wars Day Of Defeat clan!
-
Well, 'Thomas' is my first name and 'Grey' is my middle name and I seem to be the only one who hasn't been given his true forum name back! I am totally normal! I am going to have to start rolling some heads around here!!! I get no respect at all!
My chosen and former forum name is 'Rorworr and if you refer to this thread, you can find out why (just cut and paste)...
http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=934;start=0;boardseen=1
The other reason why is that I had an uncanny resemblance to the elusive Sasquatch (and wookiees too I guess: see head-shot photo, circa 1992) and they in my mind are all about Wookiees.

I hope no one will think any less of me, and my identity is finally revealed! Enjoy JD.com crew!

FishEyedLouie, no it's not One Eyed Willie from the Goonies as someone once said...not to mention names *caugh* JediMac *caugh*
I used to play dominoes - often, and it is the slang word used when you get "5" points.
"Tension in the compound" = 10
"Three piece suit" =15
And boys and girls when you get twenty points you can slam the dominoe on the table and look fondly at your compadres across the table and yell...
"I'm going to go down to the Men's Warehouse and get a three piece suit and some shoes!"
-
...my identity is finally revealed! Enjoy JD.com crew!
Oh believe me, I am! :P ;) Now you just need to go post those pictures in the Pics to Names! (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=28;action=display;threadid=517) thread Thomas, for permanent reference!
Guess that leaves just one more of us... whaddaya say boss?!? ;D
From FishEyedLouie:
no it's not One Eyed Willie from the Goonies as someone once said...not to mention names *cough* JediMAC *cough*
Actually, that wasn't me Matthew... It was my wife who said that! But now we both use that name for you, I'll admit... :D

Matt, funny...I must have overlooked the meaning behind JEDIMAC! Oh, it's not here, please share the deep intelictual meaning behind the name.

Tom... you're not gonna believe me... but I think I see a Llama in that blurry pic of you!!!!

Do I even want to ask Brad?..
JediMAC, glad you enjoyed the photos. I have since lost the locks, but the attitude remains. I always aim to please and that being ('gasp') 11 years ago; is very hard to grasp. It seems like 12...

Oh, but it is Matthew... ;) Do note this topic is TWO pages long. Scroll back to the first page, and you'll see who actually started this topic, and you might also see something to this effect:

From Thomas Grey:
JediMAC, glad you enjoyed the photos. I have since lost the locks, but the attitude remains.
I did... immensely! I also loved your self-titled album with the hits "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love". You were so lucky to have Tawny Kitaen hanging out with you and the band back then... She was smokin' HOT! I'm deeply saddened to hear that you lost the locks though. Did you cut them off when the band broke up? You guys are long overdue for a reunion tour IMO though... 8)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Tom... you're not gonna believe me... but I think I see a Llama in that blurry pic of you!!!!
You and the damn Llamas! LOL!!!!
-
Thomas... what can I possibly say about those pictures you showed us. The first one looks like a picture taken while doing a fraternity prank. The second picture looks like you just got off your Harley, and you're heading into the local tavern. The third picture looks like a mugshot.
Obviously, I'm just kidding around, but can you explain where the third picture came from? It does look like some sort of a mug shot.

-
Big hair and a thrash metal lover was I...
Some told me I was a twin of the lead singer for REO Speedwagon.
The first photo is a still from the questionable Patterson/Gimlin footage of Big Foot. The last picture is a license photo.
Thanks all! It's nice to be so well thought of; or thought of at all.
And I can take a ribbing dustro, so thanks.

My is my favorite Star Wars droid, the medical one FX-7!
-
my name.. ::)
;D
-
my name.. ::)
;D
My vegetarian buddy! I remember you from Rebelscum.
My name was invented by me, and should be pretty self explanatory. I use it everywhere on all forums I actively participate in, even non-SW forums.
-
My name was actually created by my girlfriend (soon to be fiancee) and is a strange concoction of Star Wars names that melded into this one. She tries to learn some of the characters names, and was trying to list a few one day several years ago and somehow came up with Snively Bandar as one of them, to which I laughed. I think she somehow mixed up Sy Snootles, Max Rebo Band, Dash Rendar, Dengar, and I can't remember which others. We both thought it was such a funny sounding name, that we've used it jokingly ever since! ;D
-
Still a lot of names around here that I'd love to hear more about. So start explaining folks! 8)
-
Mine is simple.Although I collect other stuff I have a sick addiction for collecting anything biker scout related. ;D
-
Mine is evidence of my ungodly love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In particular, my hope for Buffy and Spike. I'm not a 'shipper' but I love the nicknames some of these fan use, so I chose 'Spuffy.' Although I'm a little down about the show ending (and Spike ending...) Spuffy lives on!!
-
I wanted to be Mara Jade when I joined CSW but it was taken so I went with her ship instead and I used it ever since because it was never taken anywhere else except theforce.net (where I am LadyStar because she's a character I drew back when I was a little girl - think Storm/Catwomen and you know what she looks like as well as her super powers :) ).
-
Hmmm....???
-
I was trying to use a Star Wars character name for my username on another site. After trying over 10 different ones I realized that would never work. I got lazy and stuck Darth in front of a nickname that people had been calling me at the time. The letter B is for my first name Brian. The Roem is the first 4 letters of my very long last name. I used to have the nickname "Romeo." So, I thought it would may be better to use Darth Romeo instead. I thought about it and decided that it may just be a source for trouble instead :) So, Darth Broem was born and Darth Romeo was never meant to be.

That sounds pretty cool for a character. Send me some pics for my daughter ;)
Morgbug - Morg is taken from Borg, a mentality some of my fellow moderators and I were accused of having at a site I used to moderate at. Moderator + Borg = Morg. Bug is in relation to my career of choice (yes, I said choice) - entomologist, ergo, bug.
-
Mine is simply a combination of my fav SW character (Obi-Wan, obviously) and my own name (Rob). People often call me “Robs” so I use that as the second part of my name, although why I changed the “s” to a “z”, I’m not really sure.
It’s in lower case so I don’t have to use the shift key so much; basically it’s down to laziness. During my time at RS, I found that people usually insert capitals in the appropriate places and don’t use the underscore (“Obi-Robz”). I don’t mind that, but for me, that would be using the shift key twice instead of just once, so I’m sticking with “obi_robz”.

My nickname since highschool has been Cosmo. I didn't want to be Darth Cosmo, but I like the sith characters. Hence, Sith Lord Cosmo
-
Taminar is a name I made up for my cat, back in 1980. It was derived from "Tammany" because I had recently watched the first film version of "The Lathe of Heaven" on PBS, and there was a reference to a racehorse named "Tammany Hall" and I liked the Tammany and I was going to name the cat that, except it turned out to be a boy, and I didn't think Tammany sound masculine, so I reworked it. The cat, sadly, is long gone, although I do have a couple of his nephews (aged 16 and 18). I use the name Taminar for my e-mail and a lot of different forums/member sites.

Where do I begin...
EN.IGIGI is Summerian for Lord(EN)of those in orbit(IGIGI)For those of you unfamiliar with what this is refrence to,heres a clue...go out and by the 12th Planet by Zacharia Sitchen.Also...the IGIGI were the olden gods to the Babalonians,but I won't spoil the books for ya!
-
I was Slave_531 which was just my favorite Star Wars ship (Slave I), and my birthday (May 31). I changed my name to Diddly Squat, because a lot of the members at RS (Mostly n00bs)don't seem to know diddly squat (Bangs, Durge, etc.). I started liking the name more than Slave_531, so I changed it to Diddly Squat at all the forums I visit.
-
Oh boy, I get to tell my tale again!!
When I was signing up at RS, I was looking for something that didn't really involve a Star Wars character's name or use the word 'Jedi', so my options were quite limited, as you can imagine. So, I initially came up with 'Lucas' Missing Integrity', based on my dislike at the time for the man. But, I didn't like it, and I gave up. A couple of days later I was going through my collection, and I realized I had something like 15 Darth Vader figures, and I noticed a lot of them had features that could easily have been combined, and therefore, less Vader figures. I figured Hasbro knew what they were doing, and had no integrity in the lot of them. (They are a corporation, after all.)
So BAM!!! Hasbro's Missing Integrity.
I shortened to HMI because it's handier and stuff. And it didn't fit anywhere else I tried to sign up at.
-
Guttersnipe....hmmmmmmm.
It is just a stupid word that I don't really know if it exists at all. I will have to check on that. It is used clearly in the put down sense
i.e. You Damn Guttersnipe.
Maybe it means what it says:
Gutter - Side of road or the lowest one can be (in the gutter)
Snipe - A wading bird (J/K) or, To snipe like sniper.
Shooting from the gutter (I think ;))
-
Well, my origional name on most star wars forums was Darth Mange, but upon my leave from SW collecting for a while, I took a new name, and kept up with my JP collecting. When Andy came up with this Apocalypse thing, I jumped at the chance for the name Famine.
There you have it.
Kevin
-
It's the short form of my name.
-
A carry-over from BHC.
Never joined a forum until then, so to get into the spirit of things, and to be cool in a conformist kinda way :-*, I used Jedi. Couldn't think of anything else so I just reversed Jedi into Idej. A palindrome, as Czar of the BHC pointed out a while back.
Turns out I wasn't very original, either. I tried to register Yahoo, Hotmail, and Excite email acounts but variations of Jedi Idej were already taken.
-
Um...I've tried to remember when i made this name at RS, but the reason why eludes me.
-
didn't we do this already?
anyway....
back in the day when i first got online i was using the abomination known as aol. so, you were forced to pick a screen name. of course, i went for the name of my favorite sw character, boba fett. but, alas, it was taken by some other fanboy already. and i didn't want to be bobafett213251, so i tried the "other" boba fett, jodo kast. but that, too, was taken. so, being the amazingly creative person that i am, i took the first two letters the first and last name of jodo kast and the first two letters of the first and last name of boba fett, and came up with jo ka bo fe. and there you have it :)
-
Back in the day, I thought it would be terribly clever of me to call myself Darth Paul. Paul being my name, and rhyming with Maul ::)
Now I use it at several sites, including BHC, rebelscum, and snowtroopers.ca. It has too much history attached to it to change it now, original as it is.
-
Lando is a Scoundrel. :-\
Actually, my cousin and I joke around about Lando all the time, and I was more of a scoundrel when I came up with the name, so I just went with "LandotheScoundrel". Though at GH its one letter too long, so I had to use "LandodaScoundrel"...lame.
-
I got my nickname at work. I sign off on artwork approvals using my initials and one of my colleagues started referring to me as "MisterPL." It stuck. So when it came time for a
CB handle screen name, I went with that.
Pretty exciting, huh?

Congrats, GNT’s Mini-Member...ahem, sorry…I meant to say GNT’s “Mini-Me” :)
My own name reflects the fact that I shall be leaving you soon. I decided that instead of deleting myself, I should just quit posting for a while. Most of you are great, but there is still an RS-like atmosphere here (increasingly so) that I can obviously get my fix of elsewhere.
Avatars often go with name changes, so here are the ones I’ve used to far. With 5 days to go, I am currently on the Jackson 5. Since you are all mostly North Americans, I should explain that the last one was a guy hitting a “Six” in a Cricket match.

Funny--I always thought it was the big, weepy, melodramatic "I'm leaving" announcements that were pretty much a staple of the Rebelscum experience.
Huh.

I like guns and my name is Peter so Pistol Pete is my username
I guess that's the mascot for Oklohoma State too and the ex Basketball player
-
mine is the terribly witty and thought out first letter of my first name and my last name....I know its lame, but hey to an extent so am I.
Perhaps I'll change it for "privacy" and "security" purposes. my problem is if I change it, i'll forget the new one and never be able to post again....
-
My new name is birthed from three sources:
Last week I found a bag that resembled the tall style of hat that Egyptian Pharos wore, so the entire day at school I was King Hobus, king of the hobos.
Several weeks ago I made up a people called the Haamites (born out of a long running joke about ham)
So I combined the two, plus my patron name and BAM! my new name.

I originally got my name from Australia - which is refered to being called the Mainland alot. 05 I got from that being the year I graduate from High School ;D = Mainland05

Well, see, a Wookiee walks into a cantina...

My nickname here jkno appeared to me in a dream and don't know what it means. It doesn't mean jedi Knight New Order or something like this.
on other forums I am Sergiu or sergiurusu which is my name
-
Valin = two Expanded Universe characters: Valin Halcyon (better known as Hal Horn), and Valin Horn, his grandson.
Kenobi = well DUH. ;D
This handle originated at the StarWars.com message boards (I was HuttLord from April 2002 to about August 2002, and Valin since then). I use it at a number of message boards: GalacticSenate.com, DarkHorse.com, TF.N, etc.
-
Well, let's see...
Jesse - My first name (better than a lot of names I've been called :P)
Vader - who could that be? The coolest character in the galaxy?
08 - My favourite hockey player of all time, Cam Neely #8. Back when I was signing up at AOL, believe it or not, JesseVader8, was already taken. So naturally, I went to JesseVader08.

I've simply been Vator for awhile now...the long names eventually saw an end.

Um my parents gave me the name in september 71!!
So i figured it's gotta be usefull so i just use my name as my nick

From Merrian-Webster Dictionary
Main Entry: cha·os
Pronunciation: 'kA-"äs
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek -- more at GUM
1 obsolete : CHASM, ABYSS
2 a often capitalized : a state of things in which chance is supreme; especially : the confused unorganized state of primordial matter before the creation of distinct forms -- compare COSMOS b : the inherent unpredictability in the behavior of a natural system (as the atmosphere, boiling water, or the beating heart)
3 a : a state of utter confusion b : a confused mass or mixture <a chaos of television antennas>
I used to always play as Chaos when I played lazer tag and since those days are long gone, I use it in video games. '
The Sith are bad-ass so it just kinda came together like that and it has stuck.

NIN song
And it sounds cool as a user name, don't ya think?!
Any other NIN fans here? I'm eagerly awaiting Trent's new album, With Teeth, and was quite bummed when I tried to buy tix for their Chicago show (and failed). later found out that they sold out in less than a minute... :-[

Do I even need to explain??? :D
I assume she is your favorite GI Joe character but I was wondering why? Did you watch the cartoons when growing up or did you just play with the figures and such? I liked Cover Girl myself :).

It's actually really simple although most people read it in a different manner than I intended (but I can see that side too).
There are three stages of Jedi: the Padawan, the Knight, and the Master. I was finishing up the first stage of my training to be a Doctor at the time I first used the DP screenname on a movie forum, so I just went with DoctorPadawan.
If you want to be literal, I should actually be DoctorKnight right now, since I completed stage two. I'm still not a doctor (and probably won't be for a while, thanks to student loans) though, and I think DoctorPadawan sounds much better than DoctorKnight, which sounds kind of generic and too close to a theoretical denizen of a Hasselhoff fan forum. :D
-
OK, back in oh, about 1994ish I tied to log onto a SW site as bobafett whcih was taken, after a few combos were all rejected (taken) I figured I'd use "bobafett" and the number I wore while playing ball in high school and college "14".
bobafett14 ........brilliant!

Baically my favorite ewok and 76 is my year of birth. Should be 2976, instead of 2776, but i havent changed it yet. Damn it sucks to get old.

Well, my JD Forum Name was originally the name of my favorite Gundam Mobile Suit design - Gundam Nataku.
(http://ew.foreverhq.com/ms/nataku/3d_nataku-front.jpg)
I figured with Gundam so closely related to SW, it was a good fit, so I started using the name when I registered with the TradeFederation and it stuck... until now.
I've decided that in honor of Celebration 3, I am going to slowly phase out my "Nataku" moniker and just go by my "regular" name, Jeff.
I figure, most of you guys know my name is Jeff anyway, so why not just step all the way out from behind the curtain and finally join the "Guys Who Use Their 'Real' Name" club? ;)
Look for "Nataku" to be phased out this week as "Jeff" is phased in. :)
Jeff
-
I've been thinking of doing the same thing for awhile Jeff, but didn't want to make the change right after the mighty OCB/Scott did, as to look like some sort of copycat. I think its a great idea, and kudos to you for joining the "out from behind the curtain" club ;).
-
It's my website name. I needed a reason for it all being grey, so I figured I'd go for an Imperial theme. Would have loved to have got hold of the Endor Imperial Outpost model when it was up for sale last year, but too expensive... :(
-
My name is Commander Cody named after the commander in Episode 3 and other EU called Cody.
-
I figure, most of you guys know my name is Jeff anyway, so why not just step all the way out from behind the curtain and finally join the "Guys Who Use Their 'Real' Name" club? ;)
Eh, we all go by our real names around here most of the time anyway, so changing your forum nic won't make all that much of a difference to me really, Natacos. :-*
But if you must, you must.
I mostly associate "Jeff" as a certain somebody's chatroom alter-ego though... ;)
-

Yeah, I need a change I guess...
OK, you got me. :-[
Really, it's so when I hand out my JD Business Cards to the Hooters waitresses they won't have to wonder what the hell a "Nataku" is. It's bad enough having a business card from a nerdy SW internet site, let alone having a business card from a nerdy SW internet site with a nerdy internet name on it. :P ;)

A little tidbit about my name, Anton -
Invariably, when I hang out with a new group pf people, I get a nickname. Don't know why, might be because I'm a likable guy. ::). Anyway, my good friend George dubed me Anton because he was to lazy to say Anthony all the time, and I wouldn't accept Tony, so it stuck.
What were some other nicknames you ask? Ant, Squire, Tone (when I was going by Tony,) Swordy (becasue my last name is Sword), and Rusty (again, because of the Sword thing.)
Further trivia, I was strongly leaning toward going by the screen name Blix in honor of the character from Legend.
-
My 'net name was developed for the fact that I own a window tinting company, and love SW. 8)
The ony thing shady about me is my tinting. ;D

What you see is what you get. It means nothing... Ok theres a long story as to what it really means, but I'm not gonna tell it. so there. :P

Well..I think the Matt part is obvious. The fury however, I put on when I was first getting online and trying to find a screenname for AOL. They wouldn't take Just Matt, and there were this group of fighters that came on the bombing range I worked at (my first AF assignment), and were real great when we had our EW (Electronic Warfare) simulators up on them. They're flight callsign was "fury" so I added that and 13 to get MattFURY13. Even though I don't use AOL much anymore (my parents use the account so I still have it), I've kept the mattfury in my e-mail for continuity's sake.
Odd thing is, my AF callsign/nickname is Obi-Wan....but I doubt I could get that to go through on any SW forum. ;D
-
I chose Princess a long time ago (99), and wish I could change it now, but it's kind of stuck...
When I was 6 and the movie came out, I thought I was a princess (no, really) and therefore liked Leia's character, etc, since we had that in common. ;)
My father was one of the head guys in a Mardi Gras Krewe in New Orleans and since I was able to walk I would dress in a ball gown every year, complete w/ tiara, as I was one of the "princesses". At the ball, I would carry the amulets down the middle of the ball to the "coronation" of the King and Queen of the year. I had this really cool looking plaque in old script w/ a ribbon and medal w/ my name on it in the hallway at home, too- I thought that was the royal papers kind of thing. It was actually an honorary citizen of N.O. thing. Kids.
Anyway, after I took the name Princess all the Princess stuff started coming out and all- and it's just irritating, but, hey, I'll deal w/ it...
-
I was just trying to find something kinda humorous. I settled on Holographic Elvis since I have the sideburns and even though he's dead, "Spirit of Elvis" just didn't have that SW flavor to it.
-
Mine's pretty obvious, and rather boring I suppose. First name, last initial. Aaron Davidson. Yep, I'm creative like that.
-
Well I came up with mine after being a serious metalhead for some time. And Im particular to the Jedi so I put two favs together.
-

I guess the Davidson name ain't a creative bunch - Mikey D(avidson)
-
Mine's Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm not really into him as a character, except I like the whole show, but didn't want a female name from another character. Of course. I started with Xander at other boards, and for the sake of continuity just keep the same name now.
-
I got tired of the HMI moniker, and I'm using this name at most other boards now, so I figured I'd bring it here too.
It's a lyric in a Pearl Jam tune, plus I like the way it rolls off the tongue.
-
My name represents what I first called myself on Starwars.com, used the name for Jedi Knight Outcast II and the 87 represents the year I was born.
-
Cuda was a muscle car I love lol the repeat of 3 is an old michael schumacher number....
-
Nothing exciting at all......T for Tracy -- Amidala for, well, you know..... I wish I had spent a little more time coming up with a more creative name. I also use Torgana on other forums. Don't know why I went with Tamidala since I've always identified with Leia since I was a kid.......... :-\
-
Because I'm a fat/slow sloth and I can name myself after one,coincidentally, I also frequently side with the bad guys so I slapped 'em both together.
likes to frequent(stalk) toy retailers late at nite eating red vines, junior mints, ahhh yes, whoppers and drinking coke of course ;) waiting for pallets to be pulled out to get first picks :-X :-* ;)
LOL, FAT-Happy(cares not)

nothing original since its just the lil mr. potato head coming to a store near u ;D

...my favorite Nascar driver, Robby Gordon, driver of the Chevy Monte Carlo Cingular Wireless car. Now that football season is over and I no longer want to display the Pats logo and Nascar is the predominant sport I'll watch until football season begins, the change has been made.
Mike -- I know this is a very old quote -- but -- is Mr. Gordon still your favorite driver -- especially after his performance at Loudon this weekend? :o
-
Yep. Hot headed? Maybe. But I respect him for sticking to his guns and not backing down. Everyone always ***** on him and he gets no respect. I admire him for trying to be an Owner / Driver. It's got to take a lot out of him. It sucks because the guy has a boat load of talent, he's just unlucky.
-

I admire him for being an Owner/Driver too and Im sure it takes a lot out of him. As a driver, I'm sure he was very frustrated. As an Owner -- not such a smart move to piss NASCAR and the FCC off -- especially when you've had such a hard time getting a sponsor. The guy across the street works for him and word is that Gordon is going to have to fire 3 guys so that he can meet the fine. Not such good business sense :-\

I'm named after Commander Cody from Episode 3 who was supposed to play a bigger role, but once again, Lucas concentrates more on style than on substance. *******...

I'm HunterofthePegs because... well, I hunt the pegs looking for SW figures basicley. :)

That's really funny I thought you would just click on reply and type "duh" in there.
I seriously almost rolled out of the chair reading that you explained the name
peghunter..LOL

True, I guess Slothus just experiences a higher concentration of "air". :P

That "stuff" also happens to be legal up there in Canada.

Who's the new Rob guy? ;)
We've got quite the revolution going on here. 8)

I'm just trying it out - I might go back.

I heard that Kevin!
I'm starting to feel like a total dork with my "Star Warsy" name... Scott started a bad trend. OCB bit the dust, then Nataku, now Tydirium, rebeltraders, and Zod... The peer pressure is killing me!
-
Oh, and to answer the original question of this thread, Rob means:
rob ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rb)
v. robbed, rob·bing, robs
v. tr.
Law. To take property from (a person) illegally by using or threatening to use violence or force; commit robbery upon.
To take valuable or desired articles unlawfully from: rob a bank.
To deprive unjustly of something belonging to, desired by, or legally due (someone): robbed her of her professional standing.
To deprive of something injuriously: a parasite that robs a tree of its sap.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. My roommate (who has been one of my best friends since highschool) thinks I'm a dweeb for having a name like "Sith Lord Chaos." Since we are on a first name basis here anyways, I thought I'd join the croud. I never start trends, I just follow them. ::)
My name means "little king." I happen to be neither little nor a king. :P
-
I never really found a name that stuck or meant anything to me. It's nice to see the real names becoming a trend.
-
I think it would actually stick if everyone had a unique real name instead of a unique forum name.
-
BTW, all this name changing is gonna be a pain-in-the-ass for my next Feedback Forum update! >:(
:P

Long ago, in college, I used to use a chatroom BBS called Olohof to keep in touch with some friends. The first time I logged in there was as a guest. I asked the room how I got a user name, and someone told me to type "/n name"
Being a total noob I took those directions literally and the system changed my ID to name. It stuck.
For 10 years.
Yikes. I'm getting old, and I've wasted far too much of my life online.

10 years? and you are saying you are getting old, blah blah blah??? That's nothing... I feel like a grandma next to that...
Well, whippersnapper, I remember when Prodigy was only in around 5 cities and we were glad to have it! You didn't even get to choose a name, you were assigned 4 letters, a number and then another letter. I think I was vxtn28c. Yeppers. The C meant I was a kid, since A goes to the primary and B goes to a secondary (like dad and mom). I was actually 18 and going to college at this time. And we were glad when we actually got colors besides blue, gray, white and black on our screens! And we were MORE than glad when we finally moved from 1200 bps to 2400 bps... Why, we could leave the room and do something else before the next screen would come up. And don't even ask how many online divorces I had already been through by the time you were typing in your little "n/name" thing!
tsk tsk tsk... young'uns...

My real name is "Gregory" but on a test (I think it was the "Early Warning Test") there were only enough boxes for "Gregor" and then it had my middle initial, which was "B". From that point on, I went by "Gregorb" (because there are too many "Gregory's" out there!)
Gregorbian is just what I use for screennames and stuff, I guess it's some sort of reference to Gregorian monks or the Gregorian calendar or whatever ::) I just kinda like the ring to it ;)

I don't know if there was anything "smart" about it Rob.

Bah, I originated the first name bandwagon years before those fools. :P
-
I've decided to follow suit and go with my given name as well.

Nice to meet you Bob. :P

Losers. My forum name kicks your asses.

The name I chose, Victor_Von_Doom, contrary to popular belief, is actually about the Marvel character Victor_Von_Doom. Discuss amongst yourselves.
-
I came up with mine because long ago before the forums were very popular people would call me "the guy who makes all those EU customs". So EU Custom Man seemed to work and I like the fact that I can just use EUCM most of the time.
-
I got "Ook" from Ookla the Mok and have never looked back. :D
I like it because it's monosyllabic and sort of phonetic, like monkeys go "OOK!". It sounds like the name of a gorilla, an orc or ogre. It's very Mok, very ... Wookiee.

Well, mine's kind of self-explanatory. I think Nirvana was really an awesome band, and it was a shame that Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain, but that's a whole 'nother topic. ::)
