With so many members joining the forum already, i'm curious where do all of you get the idea(s) for your nicknames.
As for mine, 'Death' comes from the character played by Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black. I'm inspired by the enigmatic, charismatic and strong version of 'death' character brought out as a person :) . _________________ **Sects, sects, sects.

My original nickname was Chaos, which I came up with maybe six years ago, when I was young and impressionable. My brother used Death as a nickname at that time, and I guess I wanted to be like him so I came up with Chaos. Synchysi is just a rough Greek translation of 'chaos'.
I've also used Rivaldi, which I got from Final Fantasy Tactics, and Averlus, which I came up with one day while bored out of my mind. _________________

There are three that I've used recently. ( I love coming up with new names.) This one was because of the similarities I have with the creatures. Luna Cressier is the blade that Queen uses in SIII (I used to have a crush on her :oops: :lol: ) and the last one is my own creation Tireos (when I came up with it, I thought it was Tiresias - the blind prophet). |

You need to take a look at Neil Gaiman's Death. Now, that's a charismatic and lovable version of death.
As for mine, it comes from Escaflowne. The Alseides are the kind of Guymelefs (mechas) that the Dragonslayers used. I had to create a char for a project, and decided to base it off Escaflowne, so i used lots of refferences to it. Ended up naming him Alseid Oreades. Liked the name so i started using it as a nick. And it stuck. _________________

I've been using Hrestelan for quite some time now. There's some dumb story about my particular nickname, though.
"H" stands for multiple names. At first I used the nick "Haohmaru", probably my favorite character ever. Shame if you don't know him.
Then I use "Hash" for a character in an online game I'm playing now.
And there's the full name "Hakiro Restelan", who is a fictional character for a fantasy story I've been writing over the years. I use Hrestelan then because I don't pick a single name, it's an unique nickname, and is shorter than the full name. |

I have been using Lord Dredd or a version close to that for years. It is meant to bring dread to people which is what I did with all my enemies. I just spell it differently, but it is pronounced and means the same. _________________

So true, so true(although I'd have to say my fave is destruction)
My nickname comes from The Elric Saga by Micheal Moorcock...Stormbringer is the soul-eating sword that Elric(the main character) uses that pretty much works for itself...and if you haven't read this series then you should*shakes fist*
I also use the name crapxgin a lot..and that name is just completely random :wink: _________________ Set 'em on Fire! |

One day when I was thinking of an MSN name, I thought of "JustSomeRandomGuy" because than at the bottom of the screen it would say "JustSomeRandomGuy is sending you a message" or something like that, which I thought was quite funny.
Anyway, that name passed after a while. It was when I had to submit a name for my fantasy football team, "JustSomeRandomTeam" came into my head so I used it. Since then I've been used the "JustSomeRandom-" prefix for loads of things, but JustSomeRandomGuy is a bit long so I sometimes shorten it to just RandomGuy.
I want to change it though, because I think it is a bit impersonal. |

Mine was just to mock the Flik and Viktor fandom around. Don't get my wrong, Flik and Viktor are good, but some people take it to some weird extremes with some fan fiction... _________________

I use to were nothing but black clothing a lot so ManInBlack is pretty self explanitory. The 390 is just a random number because names are taken quite often when subscibing to things. I didn't think to try leaving it out when I made a name for this forum. I want to change my name but its kind of expensive :? |

My nick? just a Chrono Trigger's character.. (uncreative)
For some time at the past, I've been using some nickname like Scheherazade (escaflowne anyone?) and Hikousen (meaning = Blimp, I just like the word) _________________

I only read one book. It's about that Albino German noble guy, right? Sorry, but it didn't appeal to me. I am currently reading the Wheel of Time series. Honestly, i thought that your name Stormbringer came from KOF, Heidern's annoying life-draining move, if anyone can relate to KOF.
As for me, I had some nicknames. In Middle School/7th and 8th Grade, i was "Imad from Baghdad" by these two guys. In the 9th grade, i was "Austin Powers". Why, i have no idea. When i ask people, they gavve some irrelevant answer like "Cuz you are!". :?
But as for Nicknames on the web, i have several. I had a tabees (a talisman), which had the moon and stuff on it. So i named myself Silver Crescent. I also used Soi Sauce, named after a shrine to the coolest anime babe, Soi from Fushigi Yuugi. and then there was Starslasher. It just popped into my head. It clicked for me. And i have been using it ever since. Other people liked the name as well. Oh and i am also using another one, Blue Star Hand. This is for the blue dot that is on my right wrist. If it was an ink mark, i thought that it should have came off. But it's been with me for 5 or 6 years. So i try to use it more. The nicknames i use mostly are: Silver Crescent, Starslasher and Blue Star Hand. _________________ Guardian of Greenhill & Devoted Protector of Oulan

It's from Arc The Lad. Only my name's in front. I did contemplate changing it, but no one knew who I was on another forum, so I decided to stick with it from now till the end of time to prevent confusion. _________________

My nickname (and original avatar, for that matter) is from Arc the Lad II, the main character's name is Elc. Interestingly enough, I liked Elc from the start before I had even begun playing Arc the Lad II. My current avatar is of Elk (with a "k") from the .hack games, while the picture itself comes from the final episode of .hack//SIGN: "Unison," the only episode in which any of the characters introduced in the game appear.
I've been using this name, or a variation of it (Flame Master Elc, whenever "Elc" has already been taken) ever since the Arc the Lad collection came out, so coming on about four years now. _________________

I use one of Kurapikt from Hunter X Hunter spelling.
It's Culapict and simply I switch the "u" and "a". I use this nick wherever I am. Except in old Suikosource when I use Pilika.
I changed the nick so it's more original. I don't like to have same nick like another people. |
