[Eskimo]

hello my name is Ray Crockford,

but from my first year at school that was my nickname and still get called it by people i went to school with so might as well keep it :D

[Boffykins]

Hi, real name Paul Bowsher

Early on in school, everyone called me Bof, so I added a part of my surname, et voila.

PS. Cannon Fodder!!! You sod! I came to find you at i10 to sell you a Sound Card but as you were on the forums as Jedi180 I looked for Jedi180 on the seating plan, found Jedi someone up in the boxes somewhere, and went and woke him up, turned out it wasn't you! Thanks for confusing me! :)

[Silk75]

Real name: Andy Dunn

Nick: Silk75
Got the Silk part from a fantasy novel I read years ago, there was a character called Prince Kheldar, who had similar behavioural characteristics to myself. His codename within a secret circle of friends was... Silk. The 75 bit was because I was born in 1975.

Yes I know, old git.

[A_BeAsT]

HI im Marc

i got my name from this nature show, and the presenter kept on saying "nature of the beast" so i used to have beast, but as i got to know the internet more and more, saw it was very populer so shoved a,

A on it :p

[Noodleman]

*waves*

Hi, im Alec Broughton,

Aka, Noodleman.

got the name a few years back when I used to work in a restaurant. Those of you who know me know im tall, and thin.. :D

One of the chefs compared me to a noodle, and the name stuck, I think it's quite catchy thus it stays. It's not just an online name, it's actualy what EVERYONE calls me :D

Needless to say, after the naming a large food fight broke out in the kitchen :D hehehe,

[Angelus]

Angelus - Evil Vampire with good side.

Me - Good person with evil side

Thought it suited so took it :)

[pos]

ironicly i used to be a very positive person who used to keep everyone going so i called meself positivity aka pos for short. now i'm not so positive so its abit of a piss take now especially as i'm on anti depressants

in high school i was also known as saboo (i dont actually know why but could be slightly todo with my first name - sarah) and dizzie used to call me serendipity awwww /me thinks fondly of past

[Iceman]

I fell in love with Top Gun and Maverick was a bit obvious (and Goose was a bit crap :))

*shrug*

[Kahless]

Real name - Pete(r) Sennewald
Nickname - Kahless

Came around cos I'm a star trek fan and I need a name for my first LAN party, so I chose Kahless.

[Darkblane]

Real Name: Peter Taylor
Nickname: Darkblane

Cause I needed a nickname, and I amalgamated the words blade and bane and then added dark to it :)

[Emohawk]

Emohawk, aka: Anthony Ward

Went round to my mate's house one night and he had installed and signed up for this thing called "Wireplay". I tried signing up at his house but all the good Red Dwarf names were taken (Lister, Kryten etc).
Went home installed Wireplay myself and thought that "Emohawk" was a good Red Dwarf nickname to have, stuck with it ever since...

Emo

[RocketKnight]

I'm a Sega Megadrive junky. It was my first console. OK, I know now that consoles are teh LOSE compared to PC, but back then our PC was an Amstrad PCW, so it was my only option. Besides, old consoles kick ass. None of those new fangled PS2s, no thank you!
Rocket Knight Adventures was my favourite game, the only one to rival my love for Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage. Its a fantastic platformer from Konami (who incidenty have a hand in Dance Dance Revolution, yay!), so I couldn't have thought of a better nickname than RocketKnight. My other alias is Sp4rkster, which was the name of the main character from the game (just not splelt slighty 1337).

Review of the game by Classic Gaming (http://www.classicgaming.com/reviews/genesis/rka.htm)
Loads of screenshots (http://screenmania.retrogames.com/genesis/01/genesis_0006.html)

If you have a Megadrive emulator but haven't played before, its well worth a go. The sequel was rubbish in comparison, definately get the first one.

[Steadders]

this is great! keep it up.

while were on the subject, do you think i should change my name on mIRC from steadders, to just stead?

(and also RocketKnight, i dont want to change this into a pc - console argument, but you cant say out like that that consoles suck, they may not be very good for word processing, but they have a few good games!)

(also, i have a small collection of classic consoles as well :) )

[Catachan]

It's supposed to be 'Angelis', but never mind :D

Originally called Phalanx a few years ago. The name became popular after a year or so that I had it, so I thought I should change. I've not met a Catachan since :) -- Apparently my name is from Warhammer 40,000 (those painted model things), although I've not seen it in shops (i don't collect 'em).

[TE-Hellfire]

Err TE is the name of this 3 person clan we briefly made back when a few of us played Q3 on Mplayer.

Originally the nick was bomber, just randomly thought of upon the Mplayer sign-up. Changed to Hellfire due to the heavy influence of playing Desert Strike back on the Amiga 500.

I wanna get rid of it soon, but I have a zillion net accounts with it, so I'm stuck with it for the moment.

[Strych]

Strych is a shortened version of "strychnine" - a neurotransmitter agonist ( nerve poison )

It's also Polish for "attic"

[RocketKnight]

, but you cant say out like that that consoles suckI can, because its my opinion, i just didn't give my reasons. all the reasons for my belief have been made before in other threads and i stand by them. im not totally against consoles, i named myself after a console game, lol. i guess im primarily against them because of the costs of console games, not the games themselves. who can resist tekken for example?

anyway, soz to disturb the flow of the thread, please continue, its really interesting to hear all these weird reasons for nick names. great thread stead! (lol, that rhymed and everything ;) )

[Zenti]

real name = Sam Crowe
nick = Zenti

well one theres a place called zenith windows near where i live and i saw a business card for them whilst siging up for mpuk and then i though hey **** i think ive seen some over guys name and thats zenith but then i realised i had typed zenith wrong anyway and it came out as zentih, and i had already pressed the delete button once so it ended up as Zenti!! (ps sorry zenith)

and two me nickwas goona be my long running nickname or Rusty (my starseige tribes demo l33tzor nick if anyone played that ) but i screwed up the signup and kudnt be bothered.... :D

[Mingtea]

NO MY ****ING NAME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ****ING AUSTIN POWERS.

i had it first :)

i thought it up one day. Just randomly, in an english lesson if i recall.

[LordPhil]

Real Name : Phil Moss

Nickname: LordPhil

Lord because simply I own you all. And my name is phil so I thought I'd add them both together, and you get my nick LordPhil. Quit simple.

[Zik]

Hi, im Daniel Vallender and im an alcaholic....
opps, no! thats summat else....

way way back in the day, when 56k modems were the sh*t...
i used many sudanims, the most common of wich was Ezekiel wich i got from teh bible

(as in 'ezekiel 25:17' all that crap wich was l8r used in pulp fiction, but i had it first! :P )

anyways, Ezekiel is to harsh to type, so peeps shortend it to Zik,
and they all lived happilly ever after....under my rule
THE END

[Triprotic-Acid]

Name: Phil Jones

Nick: Triprotic-Acid

well origionaly i was known as Soul_Reaver since i really enjoyed Blood Omen : Legacy of Kain and was looking forward to the sequal.

After joining a clan and then being "let go" i though i'd get a new name. Since i was studying A level chemistry at the time i decided that might be a good place to find a name, so after flicking through a book i found Triprotic Acid, and thought that would be cool :D (or would have been Monoprotic Acid)

most people call me Trip now though :)

[TimmyNoShoes]

Real Name= Tim Allen
Nick= 71M

I went through lots of cheesy names like w00ki3 and Dr death but didnt like them.
then one day someone said why dont you use the name "71M" so i did!

[fa11en_ange1]

Name: Jeremy Dunmore

Nick: fa11en_ange1

Fallen Angel comes from a biblical reference, they were the angels that sided with Lucifer in the old testament and waged war on heaven.

As for using the '1' instead of 'l' this was purely as a result of registering the user name with Yahoo and fallen_angel not being available, so adopted this in game too.

Anyway it sounds better than 'Jed' (what my mates call me) as a gaming name!!!

[Badcrumble]

Real name Andrew Newport, I got badcrumble from eddie izzard, he mentions it often in his videos its his old violin teacher. I think eddie izzard is the best stand up ive seen and well its a funny name and im funny guy. thanks for this post most people think badcrumble is me commemorating a bad experiance with a popular apple based desert :-(

[FeAr]

Name: Ant Swift
if im honest, i got my name when i went to signup for MSN gaming zone, i couldnt think of one so i chose to randomly generate one. it camed up with Drowned_Coder which i chose. then when signing up for another.com email i f00ked up Drowned_Coder and it wouldnt let me use that name again. i shortened it to Dcoder which iv used ever since....


and no i never nicked Dc0de's name which many of you in #multiplay seemed to think the other day :S:S

[Diplo]

Name : Andy Partington

Got the name Diplo from my PA day's when i first started on the net, i had a nick in RL of Kray from the Kray twins as i was a bit of a nutter / head case, all things chnaged and now am very placid bloke. I created an aco**** on PA with Kray of watever then a mate asked to start playing so i created his Called The Diplomat of watever. He stopped playing his planet was doing better thna mine so i took it over.
Started IRC and joined as The_Diplomat, ppl got fed up with that and started calling me Diplo - It stuck :p
Thought about changing it but with so many peeps i know i never did

[JeRkY]

my names non of ur buissiness :P, i started using the JeRkY nick when i started playing doom multiplayer on the "british" maps and for some reason my tottally 1337 486 laptop was running the game JeRkY-ly...the name stuck

[Anim]

Like real life name = Ben Mills

hmmmmmm, started with the nickname: Flesh Reaver
not entirely sure how it came to pass because it just happened, one day i looked up what it meant but its a bit confusing.
Next: Hypnosys
Spelt wrong but i prefer it like that, again dunno how, but i felt like i needed a name change when i went to CS so i stuck with that and it hung around for a bit.
finally: Animosity
i remember how i got this one. I was looking through a dictionary on how to spell Anonymity and i noticed Animosity on my way through and liked it. and i dunno if i can spell Anonymity because i never did find it in the dictionary :/

FleshReaver > Hypnosys > Animosity > ???? only time will tell

[Cheez]

Real name: Chris

I got my nick years ago signing up to some forum online. I couldnt think of a nick to use so I browsed the member list for a while and found someone using the nick Cheese Master, so I signed up as Cheezmaster. Years of people shortening it to Cheez later and here I am :D

[littlegem]

Mine was suggested by a friends dad as a good biker name for me and i liked it so much its my nickname outside 'normal' life.
:angel:

[Diakatarnis]

My real name is Ben

I was crusing round on the web looking for some latin translation when i came accross two cool words, combining them i created my name which keeps being shortened to Diak as people are unable to pronounce the full version :P

[G3ck0]

Real Name Jonathan Adams

I used to play GTA a lot awhile back, saw the name gecko, so i thoguht I would spice it up a bit for cs, and came up with G3ck0

[Steadders]

'twould be good if we could get wizzo here, but i don't think hes to fond of rants and raves.

[Bugstomper]

catachan's the name of their homeworld or something.

anyhoo


real name: Russel

nick: comes from when i was at school years back, after Aliens came out they made a roleplaying book game thing of it, and our little group of beardy people started playing it, we had to pick names to use for our characters and everyone else was like iceman, maverick etc.. (this was the days even before the internet and people still used top gun for names !.. weirdos)

anyway, i couldn't think of one so was flicking through the rule book and it had lots of stills from the film, one of them had a picture of Ferro in the cockpit of the drop ship and it had one of those emblems that yanks like to paint on their planes (like memphis bell, enola gay etc..) with a little bird creature thing and Bugstomper written underneath it, so i stole the name like a thief in the night and have used it ever since, about 15 years or so now :)

[TheGuyver]

Ross McInnes

1st time i logged onto qnet it asked for a Nickname, so i looked to the right of me and there were my TheGuyver Videos :)

So.. Im TheGuyver :)

my nick before that was rmci
:)

[TelexStar]

Real name: Ben

Nick: TelexStar

got 'Telex' from one of my favourite radiohead tracks at the time (before they turned into elitist twats!), Planet Telex

tel·ex
n.
1: A communications system consisting of teletypewriters connected to a telephonic network to send and receive signals.
2: A message sent or received by such a system.

When i tried registering for ISP accounts and emails etc i found Telex was always taken so i just added 'Star' on the end :/


Might be time for a change soon i think :)

[Tsung]

Nick :- Tsunami
Real name : Kevin Mayes

Originally, Mr EE, but people just didnt understand it.. Mystery?? oh Never mind !!. Also MR EE was the arcade perfect copy of MR Do on the BBC B.

Changed to some other weird name, thought it was cool, until I noticed a dodgy india resturant shared my name (scarey)..

So now Tsunami, which everybody knows, is a BFO tidalwave, also a Manics Song (as everybody who's a manics fan points out to me). It also has another bonus, on arcade games, when you enter three letter initials, all you have to do is enter TSU (all three next to each other).

:)

[m00]

Tsunami is also Wizzo's network consultancy company :]

[Iceman]

Grr :p:

[ezt]

i always used to use the nick r0b/rob as that is um my name (yes im imaginative) but when i first logged onto q'net it was taken so 3 random keypresses i had the nickname ezt.

woo now you all know, i thought it sounded good but i actually dont know how to pronounce it :o

[Cheez]

ezt: if you plug yourself into a mains power supply i think youll come up with something along the right lines of how to pronounce your nick ;)

[Steadders]

good one cheez :)

[Mesarim]

Well, Michael John Roll 's the name, but when I was back in the time when 9,600 bps modems were the Shiattttt, I was looking for an original Login. I had some bad pizza and loads of beer at the time, and it got me thinking when I had been very SICK years before in Arizona, specifically in the desert, with DETAIL on the RIM of a MESA. So I said to my buddy sitting next to me: "I feel as sick as the time I chucked *burp* from the Mesa Rim.

So because the fool repeated lots of the stuff I said when I made funny faces, as if to show me how ill I was when I down Captain Morgan's he repeated the lines softly "chucked, *BEEEEELLLLLCCCCCCCCHHHH (this was freakin' loud)* from the Mesarim.

Thus the name stuck like the piece of pepperoni(which flew from my gut) on the side of the porcelain pony. Had it since, haven't seen it ever again. I know that Mesariim in turkish means My Grave.

Ta-DAAAAA!

[Steadders]

did i sit next to you at i12?

[/off the subject]

[DeathByDuke]

got no friggin' clue why I chose DeathByDuke... maybe coz Can_On_Ball woz crap and waiting for Duke4Ever woz killing me!

[Baz]

Real name's harry Butler. all my m8s at school shortened harry to haz, and haz to baz. but baz was too common online so i added the amataz, to create

Bazamataz

[TE-Hellfire]

Doesn't explain "BaZzA00" though, sounds and looks a bit different from Bazamataz. :confused:

[Baz]

just my login...have to cahnge it one day

[Steadders]

"worst name...EVER"

[Baz]

to paraphrase william shakespere

"what is in a name? for myself by any other name would still kick your punk ass"

:D

Plus its better than my other past (and fairly disasterous) names from my days as a CS kiddie. for your enjoyment/mocking

Desert Storm (i was 13 it sounded cool at the time)
Dessertsp00n (sum 1 took the piss outta the above..it got changed)
Ace-High (theres a h/l decal with ace high on it)
Sp1D3rLaD (a 1337 and kiddie verion of spiderman (obviously)
BAz (the roots of my current name)
Mr_TmP (over use of tmp in cs earned this 1)
Gun-Totting-Ewok (its naff, but again sounded cool at the time)

and there were more, none of which lasted more than about 2 weeks. So i may have a naff name, but at least im now consistent with my naff names!

Bazamataz

[Steadders]

lets see if we can get at least 2,713 :)

[KermitTheFrag]

real name: chris smith (how boring)

nick: came from a drinking incident involving a couple of bottles of vodka and a stomach pump. Got called kermit as i was kinda green for a couple of days after. Someone suggested KermitTheFrag and it stuck.

btw dont try that at home kids - it aint tasty having the contents of your stomach sucked out of your mouth.

[Steadders]

well we all knew that any way kerm :P

(both points)

[Munday]

Real Name = James Munday
Nickname = Munday

Well that should'nt be too hard for you lot to work out! :D Also I am called Munday when playing footy and in REAL life.

[Steadders]

[Sp|d3rMaN]

Real Name: Shuresh Vamathevn (its not as hard as it looks :D) (or Resh for short :D)

NickName: NoX or Sp|d3rMaN

Well the name NoX i got ages ago, apparently its the latin word for night, but personally i got it from SG1, one of the races they met were called the Nox, and i made the X big and volia :)

but then the nick NoX got popular, and i was fed up of playing q3 and some n00b coming on and saying "oi you stole my nick" so i looked for some inspiration from Marvel Comics (i am a big fan of that sorta stuff)

so i came up with the nick Sp|d3rMaN and made it l33t :D

but i still use the name NoX on irc, though Sp|d3rMaN i use too :)

[Dan]

Well..

My real name is Dan.

When I first started playing TFC, I mean AGES ago, my nick was thequiffguy, cause I had like a big quiff (hairstyle :P)

Got bored of it soon after, couldnt be bothered to think of anything imaginitive, and chose Dan :p

[Bowser]

Real Name: Haydn Danvers
Nickname: Bowser

Before getting into PC's I used to play a lot on console games. Mostly Nintendo games and Bowser is Mario's arch enimie (The big turtle thing with big spikes). I first started to use it the first time I went on the internet when I was signing up for my first isp being Madasafish and it asked me for a username. And I've been using it ever since.

[Brains-Lans]

Real Name: Brian Ross
Nick: Brain / Brains-Lans

Ummm well Brain is a simple word displacement of Brian, and because the nick Brain is always allready taken on every IRC network I decided to use Brains-Lans because I have a domain called that.

[Leviathan]

after my 1st online clan i wanted 2 start a fresh so i picked up a warhammer book and looked for a name, and wam! found Leviathan and liked it,

[andyf]

my name is andyf. this is based on my real name, andy fogg.
this lack of imagination is based on the fact my previous aliases SUCKED.

[Steadders]

/me thinks of new thread....

[r3plica]

Hi /me waves Real Name: Jaymie Jeffrey

used to be called Demonica (have a vampire fetish [see the recurring dreams topic]) Then changed it after seeing it was soo popular (back in '95) to KaziKlu Bey (latin for the impaler) got bored after 1 month cause it was gay name.

spent 3 months with no handle and came up with the replicator (never used it) this was becuase I seem to inovate alot, specially with web design and gaming edits....evolved to replica which then became r3plica

I even have pictures, models and even a discription of r3plica's personallity =]

and a moral/quote -

'God made man in his own image, he only got it right once' - r3plica :D

thx me will be here all night :D

[Zenith]

Hi , I'm really called Martin but I've been using the nick Zenith since 1990-ish.
I used to read 2000AD all the time, and one of my favourite characters was Zenith, a teenage rockstar superhuman... with an attitude. :)

It's been a part of me so long, I react faster to being called Zen or Zenith than I do to my real name.

[Dizzie]

After seeing Starship Trooper I though Dizzy was a good name. Although I did play the Dizzy games a lonnnnnnnnnng time ago.

Came to use the net on *gawd* AOL (cos it was my family's first PC like) so adopted Dizzie. I actually remember it was Dizzie2954 :D That was in 1997.

I then put Dizzie on my college enroll sheet so it popped up on the network for my login, etc and everyone just called me Diz from then on.

[Lou S Cannon]

Bit late posting on this one, but what the hell, work is slow today!

I've actually had several names....

When I was wasting my life away playing MMORPGs I used 'Jarok Dragonsoul'.... no huge story behind that but I've carried that name since my first early days of MUDing (Yup, THAT long) and even before my dragon tattoo!

'Lou S Cannon' came from a friend playing Jimmy White's snooker and seeing me play in my early days of CS hitting more friendly targets then enemies... oops!

'Mrs Often' was also spawned that same night I believe!

And finally most of my chatnames are something like 'Dragonmarked'

When I can't be bothered to think of anything new I just use 'Jim'!

[Sakey]

Real Name: Alan Jones
Nick: F_Sake

When I first started playing online and on lans I was using the name Guyver (Which I see someone else uses now....take good care of it :-) ). I sucked badly back then (compaired to me just sucking now) and I used to say "For F**k Sake" everytime I died (I dided that ofetn I had it bound to a key). Someone turned round and said I should be called that so I figured that the full thing would get me kicked from most places so I shortened it to F_Sake.

The end :-)

[Knight ArmagoN]

arrrrrr now this brings back memories.......

My real name is Aaron
Allias : Armagon/Knight_ArmagoN

well if you turn to page 3 of your history lesson book came the amazing starting saga for aaron the mission packs..... in the time of the Console kiddies at school on of the young stepped forward to grasp his shiny p120. it was a simple machine with 16mb ram 1 gb HD and 1 MB Graphics card (wow since 97 alot has changed!) anyway one mystical day Aaron went out and picked up a game at staples New year sale (only purchasing his PC at christmas) and had a choice..... "hmmmmmm" i said with great relish should i take the game with a woman a couple of guns and big tits(you know what im talkin bout) or quake?!? something possed me as i picked up quake and purchased it for ten pounds........
a few weeks passed and i was joyful but missing ...something a call sign an AKA an allias so i started with Arrow (my last name being Fletcher ... an arrow maker, i thought it was good) but one day i meet a guy who came up to me and said "i got some games 'ere you wan'em mate" i looked and was more confused a big box of games. i was puzzeled Mech warrior mercenaries? Red alert? spycraft? QUAKE MISSION PACK 1 THE SCOURGE OF ARMAGON wow i screamed in my head QUAKE so i purchased all these games for 15 POUNDS.... my name still arrow i went round my friends house for a 'LAN' (confused i was) so i sat down and went ok now what as the fiends dived at my 'BOX' and tore it open to reveal a new world to me. suddenley without warning the rammed a large object into my 'Motherboard' (lingo started going =) ) so i seemd ok that it had just been rapedwhen suddenly i was brought into a new world of hubs, DNS and ip addresses, 'so lets play one of my friends said. The room conssited of Bishop Wan Dai Fragger, Maverick Sniper, Lord cyclone Gibs optional, and me Arrow NO SKILLZ LOOK AT ME SHOOT I WONT FIGHT BACK,we then play Quake cooperative and i say lets play the mission pack we did and joyfully we completed it and played more deathmatch, this time bit more skilled now i had gone from Arrow NO SKI...., to Armagon run at your enemies with an axe.

[bigc90210]

ok, real name = Col Chambers

Started off when i needed an internet name, so i thought "BigC" (meaning Big Col). Then when i tried to make usernames etc, there were loads of bigc's so i put the 90210 on the end to make it unique (its got nothing to do with beverly hills).

Then i got my dick pierced, and after my female mates etc demanded to c it, they thought it would be humourous to subsitute the Col for Cock, so its just BigC90210 (either cock or col, depending what youve seen! lol)

i bet u wish i hadnt replied to this now :smokin:

[Space Cowboy]

My name's Tom, but I'm actually a Cowboy from Space.

[Jez_Gafys]

Name: Jez Brook

Well in the olden days playing Quake1/2 my name was a mix between JIBn2GIB, HardBastard and Jez1979 and just plain Jez

Then when I started plaing tfc more (for [TA]) I made up the name Jez_Gafys (Gafys is an acroynym for Go And F*ck yourSelf).

I then wanted a new name when started playing Quake3 so I randomly pressed keys on the keyboard and came up with

Emexrulsier (later I decided it stood for Emex Rules Here)

[Limi]

Limited-Edition - i changed my status on another forum to this, think it was because of a can on Lynx had Limited Edition round the rim and it sounded cool, then slowly swapped over. Im still Riffage on the other IRC networks im on. Fully changed to LE when i signed up for i14.

I also react quicker to riff or riffage or lim or limited quicker than lloyd, probably because i hate my real name, sucks BIG time

[Elbonio]

Nickname: Elbonio

Nickname in full: Elbonio McGanty

Acceptable shorthand terms: Boney, Elb

Real name: Mark Tilbrook

Story behind the name: Not that much to tell really... i was bored in a biology lesson all those many years ago (4? 5? something like that) and i decided to rename my pritt stick, so i called it Elbonio... Elbonio McGanty. After a week or so i decided it was too good a name for a pritt stick and so i adopted it for myself. At the time my online nickname was "Godfather" (shudder how lam3) and so a new nick was very very welcome.

[Steadders]

Tilbrook, thats a very rare name you know, you'll be lucky to see another...

[Elbonio]

they reckon there's only about 800 - 1000 Tilbrooks in the world apparently...

i once met a 70 year old guy called Colin Tilbrook on ICQ... and he was from california

put it this way in the Manchester phonebook there's only us and my grandma....

[Eva_01]

many people ask me where my nick comes from

well

for those of u who watch anime prolly know where it comes from, but for u uncultured kiddies, it comes from a Japanese cartoon (anime) series called evangelion.

in this anime show there are 4 cool robot things that blow **** up.

Eva_01 is just the coolest one :)
