I always find difficult choosing a name in any forums, sometimes I don't even join because of the lack of ideas for names.
Here I did a simple thing, Linarc is, actually, Lina (my nickname) + R. C. (my surnames)
How did you choose yours?

[Maufurtado]

Same thing for me. my first name three letters and my surname.

[Ansem62]

Ever since I heard the name "Ansem" in Kingdom Hearts I've always liked it as a name because I thought it sounded wise, but not old either. The 62 in my screen name came from my fascination with that number. Don't know why but ever since I watched "The Waterboy" if ever asked to think about a number 62 always came up first.

[Luinthoron]

Using it everywhere. And, well, not much thinking needed this time since my account here is obviously based on my BioWare account.

[SovereignSith44]

Took the big baddy from Mass Effect, and the baddies from KotOR, slap some 4's on the end and BAM! SovereignSith44.

[Superium]

I was at a bowling alley back in 2003 wih my friend and he asked me what I wanted put in on the score screen. I got thinking and thought  "Hey instead of using my real name why don't I make up a cool name?" So I started mixing up names and got Superium. It sounds to me like a superhero or a godlike being.

[Mordaedil]

6000 years ago, when the gods were still experimenting with titanium, I walked up to Zeus and asked "What is a name?" He told me I should spend my life trying for myself to discover what that is and I traveled to the Northern lands where I was asked "Who are you?" I replied "That is what I am here to find out."

After 2000 years of searching, I found the great dragon buried under the Jotunheim was able to help me, but to get there, I had to first go through Valhalla and approach Odin with a letter of admission. He saw the wisdom in my quest and granted me passage through Jotun. When I arrived at my destination, the dragon was less than willing to cooperate.

We had a fight that shattered the underlying ground and after 200 years I grew weary and stopped the dragon with a word. The word was of such power that even the dragon had to bend under it and yield to my voice.

I asked it "What is in a name?" It told me that the solution to the quest I was upon was locked in time, not in space, because after a certain time would pass, a name would reveal it self to me.

I decided that, as old as I was, to find the furthest corner of the dark hidden mountains of Norway and sought refuge in their cold mountains. For over 3000 years I lay in hiding, biding my time until such a point the ice melted and I was released at long last. I traveled to the nearest civilization and wandered aimlessly for almost 150 years, before I stumbled over a creation of man, surviving even the gods that made them.

"The Lord of the Rings" was that work, but a human named J.R.R. Tolkien. I knew this wise sage had the advice I desired in a name and tried to seek him out, but my information was faulty and hard to trace. I only found his tombstone, revealing to me that his passing happened long after I stepped foot upon his lands.

I traveled back to my prison, hopeful that these cages could provide some solace to my mission. As I made my nest comfortable, a human in the guise of the Post Man, an anagram of a person past the point, came to me with an offering of his continued works, the secret project of the Silmarillion. In those tomes, I discovered a hidden play on verbs, the deeper meaning of language and what truly a name behold.

I named it after my nest, dark, in shadows, loyal to the quest I undertook, Mordaedil.

And that is how I got my name.

[Snoteye]

I have a handful of monickers I alternate between when I don't want to associate myself with... well, myself. This one is the name of a goblin I played in a PnP campaign several years ago.

[Dennis Carpenter]

Since I have been DMing D&D since 1976 I have had to come up with thousands of NPC's and Characters So all my character names are my own inspiration asn far as my network name Dennis is my first name and carpenter is the translation form Cieslak (polish surname) My greates point of reference for unique names was the Silmarillion you can piece together different parts of the various languages and come up with some great stuff.

[Fester Pot]

It came to me in an explosion of vast color and sound.

FP!

wow, you need to be praised for this story, good one, "Mordaedil's saga for his name"
also, 6000 years? You are quite old

[Quixal]

Mine is (get ready for it, as this is pretty random) both the name of a town in South America or Central America and the mashing of the words quixotic and some other word I can't remember at the moment. It was originally crafted for my character in a good friendo of mine's pen and paper D&D game.



So far it looks like Mordaedil is the winner of this thread.

[Duvall el Lobo]

Always used this name . . or Duvall (which was taken)

[Calibisto]

I came up with this name for an old D&D character I once played. Had great fun with it too.

At a certain point I started to use it also as my online name. It also seems that the name is strange enough that nobody else uses it. So far I've been able to use it in all forums I'm registrated on.

[Seagloom]

It's a name I use on most forums nowadays, taken from a character I played in the past. I wish there was an entertaining story attached to how I made it up, but there isn't. :/

[JediMB]

Back in 1998 I received a demo of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. When I started the game, it wanted me to choose a name for my profile. As I was too young to be creative about names at the time, I simply attached my initials to the word "Jedi".



And 11 years later, I use it almost everywhere.

[Dr. Explosion]

Conall is Gaelic for strong wolf, Cameron is my last name. Since wolves are my favorite animals, I was sold.

And it's alliterative. (yes, I'm a geek )

[Remmirath]

I joined the Bioware forums just after I'd finished playing Knights of the Old Republic, and Halae Dral was the name of my first character. So I went with it.

I kept it going here because it seemed like a good idea, not because I like it. It doesn't have anything to do with the set of names I use in most other places, either.



And Mordaedil definitely has the best story yet.

I agree! That's a worthy story! Having to wait 6 millenium for your name musta been a major hassle!

Edit: Self-moderating my reply after spotting dissatisfaction with the quality of my reply.  I beg for forgiveness & solemly swear on my warrior honor that I was not trying to be a troll.
