Explain your name!

[ElvisMiggell]

Go on, i'm intrigued!

 

How did you come up with your sceen name?

[DarthTofu]

Didn't AI already make a topic like this? Ah, well- my real name is Christopher. I got sick of hearing "Chris!" called out in the halls and turning around to find that it was someone else. I briefly tried to go by the name of Topher. That didn't stick at all, and didn't work with anyone except for a friend with a few mental issues (Actual issues, I'm not making any of them up) who interpretted it as "Tofu." He was setting up his own 'army' (Basically a large, long-running joke in which he gives people silly names and positions) and stuck me with the name "TofuTarkin." I objected, both on the basis that Tarkin is a last name and that I was really a sith. It became "DarthTofu" and has been my screen name for everything ever since.

[Krytos]

Go on, i'm intrigued!

 

How did you come up with your sceen name?

 

I'll tell me mine, if you tell me yours

 

Truth be told ... I don't remember why I choose Krytos (with exception of the obvious Star Wars link).

I still use it because it sounds cool and constantly confuses people with online games.

"Hey, Crytoe ... Kreetose .. whatever the hell you are!"

 

I personally think it's pronounced "cry-toss", that's how I say it, as well as several other people ... and it sounds best that way.

 

Now, I am VERY intrigued to know where: "ElvisMiggell" came from

[DarthTofu]

I'll tell me mine, if you tell me yours

 

BEAK. 'Nuff said.

 

I personally pronounce it sort of like "Cry Toes," as if the two words are merged into one... I'm sure wookiepedia has a phonetic spelling of it.

[ElvisMiggell]

I'd go for Cry-Toss,

 

My name comes from school times when everyone had a 'tag'. A coupla female friends of mine got bored in chemistry and came up with a name for me. Elvis cos i have a bit of a quiff in my hair, like the great king himself, and Miggell cos it's funkier than Michael which is my real name. I did point out to them that this is not how you spell Miggell.

 

It kinda stuck as a useful name for registering for websites etc as it seems to be more or less unique.

 

Now you tell me yours!

[SOCL]

I'm so creative:

It's my initials.

[Darth_Rob]

Mine is rather quite to the point. My name is Rob, and I am an Imperial/Sith fanatic.

[Defender_16]

Didn't AI already make a topic like this?

I think this is the third time we've had a thread like this that I can remember.

 

TIE Defender; vehicle of choice.

 

Couldn't get Defender on MSN gaming zone cause it was already taken.

 

16 is one of my lucky numbers.

 

I personally think it's pronounced "cry-toss", that's how I say it, as well as several other people ... and it sounds best that way.

 

I pronounce it 'cry-tose' I find, which is close enough.

[SOCL]

16 is one of my lucky numbers.

Lucky number?

And here I was this whole time thinking it was your IQ!

 

 

Just kidding.

[Defender_16]

It's my kill/death ratio when flying a Defender. 16:1

[Mad78]

I had a sweatshirt i wore all the time with MAD78 on the front. It kinda stuck and is a quite useful nickname for the Internet. And, of course, it sounds cool.

[ElvisMiggell]

It's my kill/death ratio when flying a Defender. 16:1

 

Yeah, see, Wedge Antilles has what, a 7000:1 ratio?

 

That's if you don't count crew on capital ships he's destroyed!

[Defender_16]

*Shrug*

 

It's not my fault you can't survive ejecting in X-wing Alliance.

[Mad78]

I always fund that rather unfair.

[Jahled]

I'll scan the article in question when I get a moment

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

My name just came to me one night in a dream. I thought it was really original and decided to develop a character around it... no? No one is buying it? Ok I stole it.

[Eagle]

So, another GW-fanatic, Jahled!? But I cant see where´s the explanaition for your name.

 

BTW: My nick in Battlefield 1942 is Eagle One, but most people just call me Eagle or E1, so I also use it in some forums.

[PHSYCOBOB]

Back in the good 'ol days of Quake Beta,(circa 1996) I had to come up with a nice SN for hurting stuffs. At that time in my young life I watched a lot of The Simpsons, and so went with my favorite character, Sideshow Bob. To be a bit more original I went with Psycho Bob, but later on when I got onto the real internet(Post SWR - 1998) I found that it was usually taken.

 

I moved the "H".

 

That's all I had to do to ensure that I pretty much never ran into another with the SN again.

[Paul]

Mine is simple, I am an Imperial Grand Moff and just used my name with the title. Go figure, also I am a Peter Cushing fan and wanted my SW character to be similiar. Paul is just my name.- Grand Moff Conway

Look down a bit. Page 31.

Wow J, that brings back memories I embarassed to admit I never got to play Traveller, but I did do alot of Car Wars and AD&D though

 

As for my screen name ... that should be obvious

[turtle]

Surprisingly Turtle is my nickname in the real world!

 

Given to my while in college by a friend since I was always about 5 minutes behind in the conversations. I can't remember why thats just how it turned out. I never really disputed the name and it stuck.

 

I thought about giving it a star warsy kinda spin but couldn't think of a decent one so gave up! (Darth Turt, Obi Turt Liber or Qui Gon Turt didn't sound that good!

[JediHunter]

Mine's self explanatory as well i believe.... no?

[Mad78]

Has to be combined with your Avatar.

[DarthTofu]

I still say it came from that vid I posted that made Boba Fett out to be similar to Steve Irwin... RIP, Steve.
