The Meaning Of Your Username

[Povuholo]

This annoying virus i have is probably still not gone, i tried to post in the other thread i made but i got an error, after waiting for 10 minutes so that sucked... But, on to the topic!

 

Why is your username what it is? Why is Switch, Switch? An obsession with light switches perhaps? :D

My name was made 3 years ago, when i couldn't make up a name for a MMORPG game i wanted to play. So i used this name generator. I got something like povuhalop. I changed a bit here and there... and voila, Povuholo! Now i almost use Povuholo everywhere.

 

I like it because it's original, not like mr. evil dark lord of dark darkness in the dark. Because we all know those names, and when you try to make an account with that you ussualy end up with darklord2958321. Nothing wrong with it, but that's not the kind of username i would want. And the chance someone else makes an username called Povuholo is small, since it doesn't really make any sense...

 

So... What's with yours?

[Malchik]

Well I write you see and atm it is a fantasy novel. So when I needed a name I picked the one I had just used in the story - Malchik apprentice wizard of death. It seemed appropriate for the character as Malchik is russian for 'boy' (also in the slang in A Clockwork Orange) and there is the hint of death and evil in the latin translation of Mal. Looking back I rather wished I chosen a name that had no meaning at all as I have many such names in the book but there you go.

[Dark0ne]

One day when I was sitting on my thrown (note: at this point it wasn't "The Dark Throne" ) and delegating my servants when one particularly obstinant servant brought me banana pie instead of apple pie. What a fool. So I got my general (note: at this point not my "Dark General" ) to get my army (Note: at this point not my "Dark Army" ) to kick him about a little. Unfortunately the army was a bit rough on the peasant and his head flew off. At this point 0ne became Dark0ne, I changed from Lawful Neutral to Lawful Evil, the general became the Dark General and my army became the Dark Army. Now I spend most of my time sat on my Dark Throne pestered by gimpy bats and what not...

Those were the days eh Darky?

 

I still have that guy's head, it's under the short leg of my bed :P

[Mercbird]

I did not want to end up as Gemini189878247 and opted for the planet and metal, mercury, both illustrating my nature aptly.

Then in danger of becoming Mercury17636-7 I decided to add the messenger to the witches brew and threw in bird to symbolize the fleetfooted messenger of the gods. Also by this time I couldnt think of a suitably witchy bird and Mercspecledhen looked kinda stupid.

 

That too added more numbers than I can count, trying out Mercurian and Mercurious and the like, I ended up shortening it all to Merc and added the bird.

 

So now I get called mercedes and mercenary, hence the additon of the alchemical symbol for mercury in my signature.

Adds a nice bit of poison to the metal that is fluid and the planet closest to the sun. :rolleyes: No I dont take messenges

[Stampede]

Stampede is the name of a giant skeletal/cybernetic/demon/bull in a classic 80s cartoon called Bravestarr. I just find it to be a very strong word and I really loved the character.

[Dilvish]

Dilvish is a character from a series of fantasy stories written by Roger Zelazny. He is a man of mixed human and elven blood who becomes a great general. He runs afoul of an evil wizard and is cast into the deepest pit of hell that the wizard can manage. It takes Dilvish two centuries to fight his way out but he learns powerful magic and gains a dark ally along the way. He wanders the world as a lone adventurer seeking vengeance against the evil wizard. He does manage to do some good deeds along the way too. Dilvish rides a black mount which looks like a horse, at least from a distance.

 

Dilvish seems like the kind of guy you might meet adventuring in Tamriel.

After all these interesting names I feel like a fool, but I felt like posting anyway. My user name is my last name, so it serves as a marker for me. Meaning this way I know where I posted..Recognition? er.. wtf I dont know

[Guest]

I use my username in all games I play. It is a little bit nostalgic for me.

 

Bringin back memories of batchelorhood, multiplay gaming 'till the early hours. Too many PC's and ppl in my small abode.

 

And after long hours of multiplaying goodness, eyes burning. My sanitation was in demise. I had found that my underwear had been on longer than recommended.

 

Since I no longer own them, I choose to let them live through my username. So I guess now when I go online gaming, I will still put on my KrustyJox.

 

;)

[VaanicOne]

Well, I was originally callled "Vaan", after that FF12 metrosexual (we have no similarities, I promise!). I thought that "Vaan" had that ominous boom to it, and sounded quite cool in general.

 

I recently [ish] changed it to "Vaanic~one", in order to match my name on the rest of the TES forums. The reason behind "Vaanic~one" is due to "Vaan" being taken ( :glare: ). So instead I changed it to "Vaanic" with a "one" on the end, it's sort of my Version number, if you will.

 

Other reasons include: I had a cool signature with "Vaanic~One" printed on it, rather than "Vaan".
