Your Username

[humanvirus]

I have posted this same thread in another forum long time ago...

Well, your usernames, sreen names, nicknames, whatever you want to call them... How did you get it? What does it mean? How long have you used it ect.

humanvirus,
Mine isn't not very interesting, it was when I first got AOL dialup when I lived in London, I wanted a name to do with computers, "virus" then I realised what I was, "human" so I just put the two together and I've been humanvirus for roughly 5 years now. I'll never change. :)

[Blade]

When I used to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I used to call myself 'Nick', but I got bored of that so I decided to call myself Bladerunner, but then changed it to 'Blade', because I thought Bladerunner was too long. :)

[imported_palags]

palags means sheet from latvian. About 0,5 years ago i wanted to change my nick and i just wrote the first thing that came to my head. Before that i had nicnames bl00dsal+ and c0ma. Now i have a nickname(palags) that i like and its simple and short. If i'll change it, i will change it to 14f13. 14f13 means "life unworthy of life". For SS this was a method of killing people by injecting phenole poison into the victims heart. Now 14f13 is my COD clan but with 1 member(me) :D i don't think it has a big future but whatever :)

[imported_KeV]

Simple. My name is Kevin. I go by Kev.

Werd.

[imported__1G_HiLandR]

I am a decendant of the original Gordon Highlanders, the bravest fighting clan of moderen history. Many regiments have spawned from it. I take the inspiration for my name from my father who was a large man that threw the caber and fought like the Gordon's of old. He passed away a couple of years ago. It's kindof a tribute to him. I try to game like he would fight. ;)

[imported_NmE|Cr3wZ]

my name was made up by me i saw an album called Crews Control i replaced the e with a 3 and the s with a Z and made Cr3wZ, ive been using it nearly a year and i was called Stylez before that :P

[Musouka]

A long time ago back in the Unreal Tournament days, way back when i only had dialup. I would play as Tael. Tael is a name from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask. i thought it was cool so i used it. Tael was great, when i got dsl i joined a zp ig clan. I was in it for about a half year. But then i was asked to tryout for MoNK by the almighty Cucumber (clan founder/leader). I tried out and everyone thought i was the best and they immediately let me in. so i left my old clan. After 2 weeks of playing for MoNK, i realized the name Tael was old and boring, so i changed it to Gryphon, for it is the mythological creature with a bird's head and wings, and a cats body. I have always been fascinated by mythological creatures so it was a toss-up between chimera and gryphon, but i already knew someone named chimera, yet knew no one named gryphon. I have been Gryphon ever since, but when in irc or what-not, people tend to call me gryph, so i just used that simple name when i registered on these boards. I did go through a phase when i started playing as Musouka, which is Japanese for dreamer, it was the title of one episode of some anime, i forgot which though lol.

[Titchimp]

Mine comes from a local bandname, they were called busomemonkey (i cant spell it) and some girls mum called em t|t-chhimp so i stole the name and its been mine for about 4 years now :thumbsup:

[Kobayashi]

From The Usual Suspects. It used to be Keyser Soze playing MP, but I though Kobayashi sounds better.

[imported_Prince_Charles]

Prince_Charles comes around as my middle name is charles, and i enjoy playing the brittish side of CoD when i can, so i thought prince charles would work!

[imported_The Lugerer]

I used to have my email and everything as nodnarb, which is my name (Brandon) backwards. But when i first started playing CoD i would always snipe, so when the enemy got really close i was forced to use my pistol, so i got really good at close combat with them. I even occasionally used my pistol even when i had an automatic weapon, just to make my victims feel inferior. :evil: One time, in the middle of a game, after doing really well using just a Luger, i changed my name to The Lugerer, and that's what it's been ever since. (Yeah, it could have been The Colt .45er, but that's doesn't sound near as cool.)

You're the one that I bug on MSN all the time ... but he has a different first name ... but he calls himself bladerunner. I'm all confused now.

About my name(s)
My Email: Wallman88 I got that because I sometimes walk into walls (ask ringmaster and red about today) and I was born in '88

My Screenname for AOL: Millermagic88. I got that becaue My name is miller and my friend's name used to be magic ... I can't remember the rest of his

My Screenname for Websites: Millermagic. My name is miller and I'm too lazy to type 88 everytime that I log in.

[Kingox]

I dont have enough time to explain.

basically, it comes from the days when I watched DragonBall Z (ZED NOT ZEE :D )

[Phaze]

Makaveli, is the alias of Tupac Shakur. Tupac Shakur, was a very intelligent man. Known to be a thug, ect, ect. :P

Anyway, I never use this name in games. I used FL47LiN3R. Because... Well... I flatline lifes. :D

[bl0ss0m]

[Apex]

Back when i was but a mere teen (which could have been yesterday :w00t:), i played on a gaming program called Mplayer. Anyways i liked to f**k with the Sages (the moderators of Mplayer) and got banned. As i reset my IP i wanted to change my ways and be a good gamer. Rogue Spear had just come out that day and i wanted something new to be known as. I looked through dictionarys and such. One really cool name was Zenith, but it reminded me too much of the TV company. So i looked through synonyms of the word and found Vertex. Vertex is pretty secksi too, but it reminded me of math too much. So i looked for synonyms of Vertex, and it was then i saw Apex.

a·pex ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pks)
n. pl. a·pex·es or a·pi·ces (p-sz, p-)

1. The highest point; the vertex
2. The point of culmination

Apex of the earth's motion (Astron.), that point of the heavens toward which the earth is moving in its orbit.

The point on the celestial sphere toward which the sun and solar system appear to be moving relative to the fixed stars.

And of course, its a city in NC. As well a a pants company, communications company, DVD player company, a rock group, and just about everything else under the sun.

But all that was after my time. I thought the name rocked.. Apex... The Highest Point... The best... its me! And ive been using it ever since. Been about 5 years now, still apex, still fsckin' l33t, gee.

[papa_kulikov]

one day i was watching enemy at the gates..........and Ron Pearlmans charactor ........who is Kulikov.........anyway........he is talking to vassili...........when he says.....something along the lines of................
they dont know ol papa kulikov.........................i thought it was pretty funny.......and ive used that as my name ever since............(memories!)

[russellg81]

l was looking at a other forum site ages ago that had nothing to do with call of duty and they where asking how people made up there online name

l thought l'll post this on the call of duty boards to see how players l play got theres useally its just a name you think looks cool but sometime theres more to it


mines l use RussellG81

l uesrussellg81 for passwords because the g81 was the start of my post code

and it came to me G81 means great one so l've been useing it ever since 1998


l just wanted to see how other players got theres B)

[Fencer123]

Well I was mostly The Fencer (points toward sig) but got tired of people making jokes about fencing :thumbdown: and am now the [COLOR=red]RedBaron for no real reason.

[imported_invincible]

my mp name is ScArFaCe. i made mine up after seeing the movie, scarface. it was a great movie :thumbsup:

[imported_Dutch Courage]

Good topic!

How did I 'invent' my nickname?

1. I wanted a name that stated my nationality (dutch).
2. I also wanted a name that's a real first name name in the US (take for instance maffia boss Dutch Schultz). So some people think I'm from the States.
3. I'm a very carefull and slow player, so just for fun I added "courage" to my nick
4. The both words (Dutch Courage) have a nice subtext I think.

Dutch Courage = Courage acquired from drinking liquor ;)

[Phaze]

Mine's simple. Makaveli = Tupac. Me = 1337. Mixture: =M4K4V3L1=. In other words. I'm a huge Tupac fan, therefore I represent his alias.

[Glanzer]

Hey russellg81, that other site that had the names thread you mentioned wouldn't happen to have been a Tribes 2 Renegades forum? There was a long thread I remember there.

Anyway, I chose Glanzer because:

1. Easy to spell and fast to type in chat.

2. Unique--not a dictionary word or well-known character that lots of other people would use.

3. Not game-specific so I can use the same name in every game.

4. Short and easy to put on a license plate.... If anyone is driving in the Columbus, Ohio area and they see a license plate that says "GLANZER", that's me. :P

5. Sounds kind of like a stealthy character and I like thiefs in DnD so it sounded good.

[russellg81]

na it was that place all-forums l seen it :P

[humanvirus]

Yes. I made up this thread origionally, you know. I posted it on CnCReplays and numerous other sites... And CoDBoards oddly enough. O_o It's in the Barracks somewhere.

[imported_Glorfindel]

Well I've two names I use a lot, Glorfindel and HawK (HawK for gaming).

Glorfindel because I've always been a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and because Glorfindel is my favorite character from LotR.

I started to use HawK after my friends started to call me 'Havik' (which is Dutch for Hawk) because of my cunning and intelligence (in real life, not in gaming, and to their opinion, not mine :P). So I translated it into English, added a few caps, and what I got was HawK. Sometimes I write HawK! or - HawK! - too.

What about your forum name, M4K4V3L1? Is that after the famous Machavelli (sp?) who wrote that manual on war?

[Musouka]

makaveli, was an italian prince that was wrongfully imprisoned or somethin. and how everyone thought he was dead, he came back

Well, not really. I'm a huge Tupac Shakur fan, and Tupac nick-name was Makaveli, so I used some 1337 in it, and came up with that. :)

[Musouka]

you're right, cuz tupac considered himself as the modern day makavelion.

[Phaze]

Exactally. Not hard to understand at all if you know anything about Tupac. ;)

[imported_GeneralTom]

Well, this is the story of how I got my nickanme: I was in the fort one day remembering the good old times like bombing hiroshima and sacrificing 18 000 of my good men for a donut when I fellow comrade of mine (another general, like me, of course) came to me and asked, "Tom, the soldiers down at the barracks have been making fun of your name" So I replied by saying "Have all of them run into the enemys defences without weapons. That will show them!" So after 3 hours of evil laughing I decided to call myself GeneralTom despite those mean soldiers who made fun of me.

[Aardvark]

Aardvark was just a name I pulled out of thin air for no particular reason, though a very good friend of mine who's South African said it sounded cool and army like so I've kept it since.

[Laz]

Back in the QII days I still had not found a steady nick, I changed it on a daily basis, but then I took Lazarus, after the biblical character that respawns, and it stuck ever since. I have been Lazarus since 1996 and -MM!!-Lazarus since 2004/q1. Now everybody on TS just calls me Laz and now that is my ingame name too.
I play as Laz, -CODB-Laz and sG|Laz... Depending on circumstances.

[Alpha_Pasta]

Alpha_Pasta.

Pasta came after I played my first online game of RTCW after I had finished a plate of pasta, and alpha I added a couple of years ago. Mostly known on TS and ingame as Alpha. Might see me as CoDB|Alpha sometimes.

[Tizmo]

Haha, you guys do realize this thread is over 3 years old? :icon_biggrin:

[Laz]

So what, it's better to continue than to make a new one riht? It is after all a timeless question ;)

Are you in sG too?

[Laz]

Are you in sG too?

Yes, joined to play CoD 4 competitively. Wanted to try the clan thing before I get really old...

I guess it looks strange that I have 3 set of tags, but MM is not a clan, it's a community and the tag is awarded by it's members same as the CODB tag.
The sG| tag I paid for ;)

Edit: that sounds wrong. I expressed my interest in joining and they accepted me as a member. I, as a member, pay my part.

[doughnut]

Doughnut because I love doughnuts so much and I've never met anyone else with the same name :)

[Aardvark]

Haha, you guys do realize this thread is over 3 years old? :icon_biggrin:

[Alpha_Pasta]

Doughnut because I love doughnuts so much and I've never met anyone else with the same name :)

Which type?

[doughnut]

Well at the moment I'm really into Berliners, but the best ones are the raspberry jam filled ones. I should be a doughnut connoisseur. That's my career mapped out ladies and gents.

[woowoo]

What's a berliner doughnut wise?

[Laz]

So, basicly when ever we see Doughnut on the server from now on we all type: "Ich bin eine Berliner!"

It's called a Berliner here too by the way.
And about that Kennedy speech... Imagine if it had been Hamburg or Frankfurt that had been the divided city..

[GreenEggs&Death]

:icon_eek: :icon_eek: I forgot all about that, Laz. "I am a Donut!" :icon_eek:

Anyway, my user/game name's origins are quite simple: I lifted it from some famous, wacky author of books I admire.:icon_wink:

Started using it in MythII: Soulbligher online and I've used it ever since ... EXCEPT WHEN THE NEWER GAMES DON'T ALLOW A LONG CHARACTER NAME! Take THAT, EA, it's why I never bought BF2142!!! :icon_confused:

And about that Kennedy speech... Imagine if it had been Hamburg or Frankfurt that had been the divided city..

Ahem. Regarding the Kennedy Speech here is what Wikipedia has to say:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner

According to an urban legend that has no basis in fact and is practically unknown in Germany,[2] Kennedy made a slightly embarrassing grammatical error by saying "Ich bin ein Berliner," referring to himself not as a citizen of Berlin, but as a common pastry:

Kennedy should have said "Ich bin Berliner" to mean "I am a person from Berlin." By adding the indefinite article ein, his statement implied he was a non-human Berliner, thus "I am a jelly doughnut".

The legend stems from a play on words with Berliner, the name of a doughnut variant filled with jam or plum sauce that is thought to have originated in Berlin.

In fact, the statement is both grammatically correct [3] and perfectly idiomatic, and cannot be misunderstood in context. The urban legend is prevalent only in English-speaking countries but largely unknown in Germany, where Kennedy's speech is considered a landmark in the country's postwar history.[4] The indefinite article ein can be and often is omitted when speaking of an individual's profession or residence but is necessary when speaking in a figurative sense as Kennedy did. Since the president was not literally from Berlin but only declaring his solidarity with its citizens, "Ich bin Berliner" would not have been correct.[5] Similarly, after 9-11 many politicians said "today we are all New Yorkers" and nobody thought they meant "we are all glossy magazines" or "we are all cars."

[DFC COL TAZZ]

when i used to play CALL OF DUTY i was the COL for the clan.

[Yoko]

mine has always been DarkAngel a little nickname my friends call me from time to time. How I got it will its privet and i don't wish to talk about..

[ExpertKiller]

Mine was Expert Killer for several years during the CoD 1 and 2 games. I simply observed I was becoming skilled, no, an expert at killing ppl and I got the idea "Expert Killer" from that and used it. Prettyy scary, and it was awesome.

Got bored of it during November of 2007, and I had a liking for the character Brom from the Eragon books and I'm much like Brom in interior terms, so I changed and now my nickname is Brom.

Needless to say, or maybe not, my username in most every site I've registered is "ExpertKiller," and I cant change it to "Brom" so I'm a bit annoyed. Lol.

But at least I can still access those places. But I am called "Brom" not "ExpertKiller."

As for the OP, greeeaatt idea m8 :icon_biggrin: Loved this thread. Very interesting history :icon_biggrin:
