What Does Your Name Mean?

[frdrcklim]

Mine too. frdrck is frederick. lim is my last name. I also go with the name mildirk. mil is backwards for lim and dirk has something to do with freDERicK but I changed the e to i.

[wes.janson]

Wes Janson..
I'm a star wars nerd, not much else to say.

[spectrumtech]

Weeeellllllll.....
The name for my tech company (which I just pointed my finger at the dictionary, TOTALLY random) is Spectrum Technologies.
Therefore, spectrumtech.
We (Well, I) produce all sorts of programs and mods and games and stuff.  Not official, but still mine.

Check it out!  THe site might be down, though... I am doing some restoration.

[N1_2888]

The Viennese "Stadtbahn" (~ City Rail) was a unique mean of transportation - I'm a great fan of it:


Leading car: N₁ 2888


The trains consisted of up to nine two-axle-cars.
(The City Rail was replaced by a new underground system - you can see its cars in the background )

Btw - I've already posted in this thread. But this explanation is better (more extensive).

[CasperVg]

My nickname derived from my normal name, which is Casper Van Gheluwe. 

[mrbisonm]

mrbisonm.....

When I shot a bison (buffalo) in the northwest territories some 25 years ago and completely missed it, he decided to run after me, while my freaking rifle got stuck with a bullet, and that was seen by my two best friends who were hunting with me........ever since then they call me Mr Bison....and the "m" at the end is a typing error because of my big fingers, and I didn't verify what I wrote as the name to open my e-mail and I hit enter.....t'was too late, so I kept it like this, mrbisonm...................


Btw, the bison got away in one piece.......so did I.

[Jmouse]

mrbisonm, I must say that is one of the best "big one that got away" stories I've ever heard!

[girlfromverona]

I think I was probably studying Romeo and Juliet at university when I came up with my username. I've been using it for a few years now.

[Pat]

Mr. B love that big tale of a story!!! girlfromverona love your story as well!!!

[Unassigned]

My nick is absolutely random, IIRC the first SC4 site I registered on was Simtropolis, which kept telling me the nicks I tried were already assigned, so I decided to see whether "Unassigned" was assigned too...it wasn't 

So to be consistent I use that nick on SC4 sites (if it is not already assigned to someone else). On other gaming fora I have nicks picked from the works of Iain M. Banks, such as "Amtiskaw" and "Zefla".

[JoeST]

well now, I have 3 (i cant remember if i have posted before but meh)

this one (JoeST)is my first name and the first two letters of my old nic (star.torturer) i creted this one as .'s were not alowed on IRC channels which I have recently been joining

star.torturer was a name created by me for a forum (on one of them free forum hosting places) created by me and my friends years ago, this was in an attempt to challenge another friends community cause at that time we didnt like him LOL, I then took the name as i thought it was a quite original one and it turns out it was.

and my newest one, FallingBullets was created while i was in bed, i was thinking of rioters and cowboys shooting in the air iraticaly and then wondered what happened to all the bullets, if a falling bullet would be of great danger... I was wanting a new anonymous username for use as the old star.torturer one just got used as a flaimbaiting weapon about torture... LOL

I just find it quite surprising how my nick's are mine and only mine, they are unique and original to me, and how if you google my nicknames you get my forum accounts LOL

Joe

[dragonshardz]

My nick is the same way, though there's this other thing that comes up that happens to be some stange RPG called Dragon Shardz.

Go figure eh?

[Jonathan]

I was playing RuneScape (my username there was Simmaniac5, strangely) when I joined Simtropolis and just decided to use Warrior, then when I joined SC4D I just stuck with Warrior, although I do get fed up of it a lot.

[flame1396]

Haha Unassigned has a hilarious story behind it.

[HandsOn]

Well, well, this has been a rather informative read, hasn't it just - I scanned - but no explanation for Wou's name. Domage.

My two online names are rather prosaic: "HandsOn" because that's waht I tend to be and it thus became my companies name when I started IT contracting. And DocRorlach elsewhere, because that happens to be the title and my last name. The only interesting part is actually a translation I was once given: Rorlach, some centuries ago, meant "from the lake (or loch - German, not Scottish), and my first name Peter is of course Greek for stone. Thus the stone from the lake (more like a puddle, though)..

[el_cozu]

el_cozu: in english "THE cozu", I am from an island called Cozumel, Mexico.  therefore, my nickname where I live now is Cozu.  so... I am "the cozu" here in Monterrey, Mexico.  Imagine if you are from New York and went to live to Los Angeles, your nickname would be "hey you! Newy..." or "come here, yorky!!" something like that lol!

Oscar (my real name): from the german "ansgar" which means "the spear of the gods"... pretty simple.

[CommodoreTech]

CommodoreTech....
Well, I like the word Commodore, and I put the Tech bit on just randomly I guess. Nothing to do with my real name. Although, it is quite awkward to shorten... Commo? Sounds like Commie, and seeing I lack a sense of Communism it is alas wrong. Tech is irrelevant lol....
Moh-well.

[simmaster07]

Simmaster07 is really simple -- I'm the master of sims. Though this didn't just apply to SimCity and The Sims. When I said "sim," I wanted it to mean any type of simulation. The 07 at the end means I joined in the year 2007 on Simtropolis. Even though it is 2008, I still put use the screen name with 07 at the end. (Silly me  ) Though now I am registering on some sites as TheSimMaster. Could've been shorter... I feel like I told my life story.

[Glazert]

The Glazert is the name of the burn (stream) that runs along the foot of a range of hills near me.

[FrankU]

Frank van Unen is my full name (except the Michaël that goes between the "Frank" part and the "van" part).

In one of my former jobs the system administrator gave me the system name FrankU, like other colleagues were called JurS, JohnR, IngeborgL etc....

I kept it, because it is handy, simple and therefore I will not forget it easily (getting old and full of memories). It is already complex enough to remember all those passwords. So everywhere you will find me as FrankU. And, of course, if there is no FrankU there is no me.
