[Skizelo]

For some reason, I think life would be easier for a man named Max Vance.

[dreiche2]

Or Commander Flex Plexico...

[umiman]

Whoa man. You don't want to piss off Mr. Magnus ver Magnusson.

[Kagus]

There is not a single "Bruce" on that list.  Something is wrong.

Dick Pound?  Sounds more like a gay pornstar.  I suppose if you're into that kind of "manly" thing, then it's certainly "manly".

But Bruce...  That's something else.

[Duke 2.0]

 Duke came from a long line of Duke-like names, originating from a SNES Zelda game where I wanted to have a nice short name. My real name... well, it's one of the few names both humans and dogs share. Yea, I didn't want that in my game profile. Thus I came up with a four-letter name that I thought was cool at the time.

 The 2.0 was after some random banter with my internet friends, saying "I have been rebuilt, stronger, faster, more annoying." I was now known as a cyborg, a magic cowboy wizard cyborg. Yes, I was known as that. It was not intentional.

 If you see a Duke, Duke 2.0 or Dukemileg(An odd force of habit when I was 13) anywhere, send me a message with something DF-only context.

 Staff Sargent. Max Fightmaster...

 Chest hair!

[Karlito]

I have my real first name, but with "ito" added.  Because its at least 42x more awesome that way.

[Surma]

@Duke 2.0: Butch? Tex? Indiana?

@Karlito: aawww little Karl... cute

Mine's simple, a previous alias of mine was already in use so I had to find another.

Since I didn't want Cerberus (or a bastardization of it) but wanted something on the same line of thought, I started looking at other mythos. I found Surma in Finnish mythos. The fact that Surma "...embodies sudden, violent death " was the vanilla icing on the cake for me.

That being said I love mythologies in general, and have several books on folklore. I just wish I could read Finnish so I could read the stories of the Kalevala as they should be read. Though I wouldn't mind being able to find the English translated Kalevala either.

[Aqizzar]

'Aqizzar' doesn't stand for anything.  This is the first forum I joined in a couple years, and needed a new screenname.  Way back in the nineties I used QZR as a tag for reasons I can't remember, and a minute of pondering bought me some vowels.  Aqizzar it is then.

And for those who don't know, the avatar is from the classic Lucasarts game Full Throttle.  Not an internet toughguy thing.

[Kagus]

I know a dog named Capone.  Is your name Capone?

[Fishersalwaysdie]

This is my name in real life, I just added 'e' because it makes it easier to pronounce.

[AMRIV]

AMRIV is just an acronym for my full name, Andrew Michael Rodriguez IV. This is also why it's in caps. I think it works out pretty well.

[Gorjo MacGrymm]

Gorjo MacGrymm of the Clan MacGrymm started off innocently enough around 1980 just after reading The Hobbit and LOTR when i was 10 and needing a new D&D character.  I wanted something appropriately dwarfy and I thought "...Thorin, Turin, Gimli, Gloin...uhh Gorjo!  yeah, perfect." and that was that.  About 5 minutes later he was exalted to the Gorjo the Grim status.  Funny side note, in the early 90's I joined on with a new phone company just after goverment deregulation in the US and they didnt ask for any ID as part of thier promotion, so, Gorjo the Grim (spelled just like that) had a telephone number listed in the phone book!    I always laugh when i think of the data entry intern reading over that application and then entering it into the database.  The whole MacGrymm clan thing just evolved outta time, prolly from watching to much highlander (my grandfather was a highlander - not the immortal kind, that woulda been cool!- but the kind that came to the US back in the 19## teens).  Anyway, way more Info than necessary.


PS besides my forum name, I usually respond to f***er, A**hole, S***head, bastard, f***ing bastard and "you complete f***ing bastard." as well as many others

[Faces of Mu]

I'm loving reading about the origins of user's forums names here.

Mine, Faces of Mu, was born from the SNES games Illusion of Time and Terranigma, and a bad memory. In IoT there was a sunken place called Mu that I think stuck in my mind because it had eerie music. It also made me think of the myth of Atlantis, but I don't know if that's really what Mu was about. Terranigma also had a similar place, and I think it had some imagry of the large Moai heads seen on Easter Island. So, to instill some mystery and perhaps be a little creepy, I chose Faces (Moai heads) of Mu. If anyone remembers either of these games and cares to enlighten me about how these images might interact, I'd appreciate it!

Unfortunately, on first glance my nic probably looks more like Faeces of Mu tho. 

[mutant mell]

My old forum name was malaguy (I still use it for some things), but I got tired of it.  I really wanted a new name, but I couldn't think of anything I like.  One day I was playing around with a word scrambler, and I found that my Mutant Mell was an anagram of my name.  I liked it enough, and I've been using it even since.

[grelphy]

'grelphy' is a random pronouncable string of letters. No greater significance. =P

I've also gone by 'nonsensicality' from time to time, but that's a pain to type, so I don't usually bother.
