So you wear skirts instead?
GoldenTalesGeek
#85
I've already mentioned this in my intro, but I'll put it here anyway. The "Golden" part is an allusion to the Golden Sun series of RPGs, the "Tales" part is an allusion to the Tales of series. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of both of those series. The "Geek" part is basically my way of saying "Yes, I'm a geek, and proud of it! Got a problem with that?!". Plus, I like to think there's a big distinction between being a nerd and being a geek... ;D

Well Geeks are seducted easily
So, nothing about Torchwood in it?
Suiseiseki
#87
I like Rozen Maiden. Hence the name.The Blitzen alias was adopted on IRC many a year ago, I doubt there are many people here who knew me from before that except for Natalie, LK and Void.

Nope. I just chose "Golden" and "Tales" because they seem to go hand in hand quite nicely. Never mind the fact that Motoi Sakuraba is composer for both of those series... ;DAnd yes, that's the only unfortunate thing about being a geek. We are pretty naïve and fairly easily seduced on occasion... ;)

EmmaGebz
#90
Well my first name is Emma, and my last name is Geb*** (Lol, I'm not going to say my full name) and sometimes I get called Gebz or Gebs so I made it that :P
meganova

I think I've already post in the same thread before...hmm...
nah..anyway,Mine is taken from some sort of spells from certain games...(that have giga,mega,super,hyper..)
I take mega because it more suitable when it's added with nova... :)
Fennyariel
#92
Mine's from my high elf conjurer character in EQ and EQ II! ;v) Gods I wish I had a way to pay for it again! Unfortunately we handicappers can't have credit cards. *sighs
Zeb
#93
Zeb - shortened version of my last name, and since my suffix is the fifth it's what I'm usually called around the family to keep my grandfather, father and myself all seperated.This is also the second site I've ever managed to get this nick without adding extra crap to the end, so kudos RomU!
alexong96
#94
Alex is my real name, while Ong is my surname. I chose 96 because I was born in 1996.
forte_amirul
#95
Mine was taken from Megaman E.x.E or Rockman E.x.EForte in Japanese or Bass in English.Also,amirul was my name and in the first place I want to use only Forte but it seems that it's already have been taken.:P
The_Fox
#96
>_>Mines an old nickname that was given to me.. 'Foxy' by my deaf nan, because I was a sly cunning little so-and-so. I like to think it's because I'm semi-intelligent, but that's my ego. However, when Foxy, people assume I'm a girl on IRC... which I'm not. So... ergo The_FoxI also use Renegade, because secretly on the side, I bloody hate rules :/ I'm also an Anarchistv >:D
kryz
#97
mine just came from my name...(ee,)
Rysio
#98
It's my real life nick. Rysio is shortened version of Ryszard, and that would be Richard in english. Also, "ryś" is name of wild cat living in teritory of Poland, which is very close cousin of lynx.
However, my true name and the cat have nothing to do with it.
snebbers
#99
My username is simply a play on my real life Name and Nickname, if anyone can guess. I'll give you a pat on the back.
Fennyariel
#100
SephSounds like a nice guy, you should have him sign up!My name did indeed come from a random glance at the table next to my desktop. I had an MP3 player named Sephi, I stripped the i and was left with Seph, it's just one of 3 nicks I use regularly, the other two are quite secret though. :)
How do you use names if they're so secret?!
