What's your screen name from?

ainur + atan

 

[genshou]

genshou is the Romaji spelling of the Japanese word for "phenomenon". It's a nickname I got back in '98 when I first started taking an active interest in the online world, and it's also one of the titles given to my fantasy alter-ego.

This thread again?

My name is a play on my real name - Nathan Ellis Irving. N.ellis.ir

And I actually prefer Nell to Nate or Nat.

Nellisir always sounded like a good name for a dragon laguz from the video game Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to me. Ever thought of giving a dragon that name in one of your games?

 

[NiTessine]

I took my nick way back in 1998 or 1997 from the FR novel Elfshadow by Elaine Cunningham, and first used it on Interplay's Baldur's Gate forums, mostly The Backroom. I've been using it ever since. I've also used Tea Elf (nickname given by Backroom regulars) and Caldour (character name, best bard I ever played) in different places, though neither ever stuck.

 

[fusangite]

My .sig contains a partial explanation of my handle. Fusang was the mythical country across the sea according to Chinese legend. According to legend, a group of Buddhist monks visited the land in the 6th century AD where they found cedar trees growing coffee beans and other interesting stuff.

Because the jurisdiction in which I grew up had a large Chinese population and a really lame name (British Columbia), I've tended to identify as a person from Fusang.

 

[Calico_Jack73]

I like pirates and I like rum.

When I was in the Air Force I went to the Class 6 (liquor store on base) and was browsing when I saw the Calico Jack brand of rum and it was pretty good stuff. I later found out that Calico Jack Rackham was that pirate who used the skull and crossed cutlasses for his flag.

 

[Lockridge]

This was my first 3rd edition D&D character. A fighter named Patrick Lockridge.
A friend got me into it after years of not playing since 1st edition.

'Cause everyone knows the importance of 23[/URL].

Yeah, it's MJ's #.

 

[Buttercup]

I probably don't need to explain since my user title gives it away, but my screen name is from The Princess Bride.

 

[Kaodi]

Ah, Name...

My screen name evolved from my real name, thanks to Walt Disney. I often wonder how many of the people on these boards used to frequent TSR/WotC Chat back when the name Kaodi first saw the light of the pixels.
