How did your Nick came to be ?

My nickname is from my character in the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game. The game was stupid, and it let Elves join the 5 Wizards.

A long time ago, when I could only access the internet at a library, I refused to stop for more than 30sec when the yahoo mail I was making myself asked which nick I wished. So I acronymised the reason I was needing this mailbox for.

there used to be this crazy drunk redneck guy at one of my RL friend's workplace. He would randomly add this sound at the end of sentences. It sounds like 'hermf' kinda: thats where hrmph came from... I lose don't I?

In some of my drawings I would use a stylized little dude to show scale. I once drew it on my notebook at school, and someone pointed out that it looked like a flame, instead of a head.

Thus, my name.

Felix the Cat · Post by **Felix the Cat** » 18 May 2007, 02:45

My last name is Felix.

Way back in kindergarten the bullies would call me Felix the Cat and I would cry.

Now I've embraced my dark side.

Candleman · Post by **Candleman** » 18 May 2007, 05:15

Felix the Cat was cool, though. I would have liked that nickname.

Ok, back in grade 7 when I got my first dial up modem and started logging in to the local BBSs and the University's Freenet I decided to Anagram my name, I came up with Sinbad, having recently read a volume of stories from the "Arabian Nights", so.
Ben Davis
Sinbad_EV

I dropped the Undescore after a while.

Apparently my 12 year old brain couldn't come up with anything better...

One other handle is "BNG" which is started when a stupid video game only allow 3 initials spots and I have 4... so it's read "benjie"

I tried --b-- for a while, Rufiouse Mange get's used for certain things and I have no idea really where (wearwolves where cool and so was bill and teds excellent adventure)

IRL I've been Bendy (Ben D.) and Beasly/Beastly after the carebear villain

aGorm... just what people would shout when they needed me...
"Yo, Gorm, over here..."

Gorm, is basicly just Gormless shorted to classroom slang.

Hence, I am a Gorm, hence aGorm.

Simple!

If last name is needed (Like in NWN and such) Isafol surfices.

aGorm

Kixxe · Post by **Kixxe** » 18 May 2007, 20:50

I was gonna play KKND for the first time as a 8 year old, and when i was about to put in my name i wrote my real life name... my brothers just laughed and said "no no no... you gotta have a seperate name online.". 2 second brainstoming and random adding of x's and volia, Kixxe is born.

But im changing it to Kixxse cuz pepole always pronounce it wrong... like "Pixxie".

And then they ask if im a girl.

And acually, i think i used the lastname Kix sometimes when needed.

Neddie · Post by **Neddie** » 18 May 2007, 21:12

Well, this is a corruption of my initial name which I discovered was taken (By a spambot, how embarrassing!) on the second forum I joined. The first is gone, so my original name isn't used in as many places as it might. Neddie is a character from an obscure (But at the time popular) 50's radio show, drow is a dark elf - I was fishing for something which made no sense.

Sehkmet is the name of an Egyptian goddess which I use when I'm testing my gendered voice through text. Fewer people think I'm a woman as Sehk than they do as Neddie...

Yeah Kixxie, what ever. KKND you say or was it KKND2? KKND was for DOS IIRC.

Hyper-obscure. A fungal planet from the Albedo RPG, which is an RPG based on an old Furry comic book about a hard-sci-fi universe set in the lull after a violent war with interstellar rabbit-supremacists.

Well... my name is "Lathan Stanley"

I figured the name fit...
