Give the origin of your nick (even if it's obvious)

[Soulforged]

I don't know if anybody has done it before but here i put mine:

[Samurai Waki]

I have that book My nickname comes from complete boredom... oh and the little Japanese Sword I used to have.

[Azi Tohak]

My standard internet name is Fuh Teng... but I lost that account long ago.

Azi

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Kaiser as in Caesar, of Arabia from Pape for my kill everyone responses to simple problems.

[Byzantine Prince]

I'm of 100% byzantine romaios lineage so I named myself accordingly.

[Redleg]

It is the Civil War term for the United States (Union Troops) Army Field Artillery soldiers. It came about because the Army used colors to designate the different branches of the Army - and a stripe was sewn along the outseam of the pants leg. Red is the color for Artillery - hence Redlegs came about as the Nickname.

[Albino Gorilla]

I was twelve, and since my regulard name was already taken, the game service, suggested this one.

[Meneldil]

Some character from LotR

[Soulforged]

Mine? Let's just say it was a little gamed called Dungeons and Dragons.

I hope you're not as annoying as those ***** things...

[Papewaio]

Daughter of the Empire Series of books.

[Sjakihata]

I have that book My nickname comes from complete boredom... oh and the little Japanese Sword I used to have.

I think you mean a Wakizashi then

My name derives from a Taiwanese pencil company spelled (I think) Schachihata or something - which I then re-spelled Sjakihata

[King Henry V]

[Beirut]

[Dutch_guy]

Well I 'm really bad at picking a nick.. so I just chose something easy...

[Ianofsmeg16]

Mine came from an Episode of Red Dwarf where Dave lister using an AR machine to go into a Medievil Game...he then proceeds to announce himself "I, am Lister of Smeg"
the 16 part comes from my lucky number, 16. Which i got because of some sporting issues....

[Duke Malcolm]

Firstly, after Malcolm III Canmore, King of Scots. He annexed some of Northumbria and Strathclyde, and made the language of his court Saxon. His wife was Queen, now Saint, Margaret. He replaced the Celtic Church with the Catholic Church as the established church of the realm. he also abolished the tradition of Tanistry, by which the King was eleced by a council of nobles, and replaced it with Primogeniture so that it was the kingship was hereditary (I prefer both the Celtic Church, which is much older than the Catholic; and Tanistry of Pictish origins I believe)

Secondly, it is after my Christian name, Malcolm, and I want to be King, so King Malcolm seemed sensible.

[Craterus]

Chose a historical name and I've always been interested in Alexander the Great, and Craterus was one of his best friends (and commanders).

Info on Craterus

[Taurus]

You may think that my name is Taurus because I was born on the 20th of April - 20th of May but you'd be wrong becasue I was actually born on the 15th of March.

To be honest I saw the name when I went into the local computer store and I saw one of the staff wearing a T-Shirt with the word Taurus on it, it was some kind of software company or something but I think it sounded cool plus I think that bulls are cool anyway so there we go.

[IliaDN]

I don't know if anybody has done it before but here i put mine:
Soulforged is a song for the german epic power metal band "Blind Guardian", wich tells the story of Raistlin of the Dragonlance series.

BG is cool, though the last album is not so cool, as previous.

[Geoffrey S]

I only ever really liked the last two tracks off Opera.
As to my nick, guess...

[Ironside]

A strong Danish general from one of my MTW campaigns.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

My name was the most accurate thing I could come up with at the time...

[xemitg]

I had just looked at my new timex watch and i spelled "timex" backwards and put a G on the end because my last name starts with a 'G'.

[Viking]

Well, when one register one need a username, so I just picked the first thing that came to mind.

[TheSilverKnight]

knight's armour is silver. thus...TheSilverKnight

[Moros]

[Paul Peru]

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=47742


15 years ago I was in London with a friend. We went off in search of an Ethiopian restaurant we had found in a directory.
We didn't fint it, and for some reason we ended up at an "all you can eat" pizza buffet. We were very ironic, I guess.
We found the house red to be modestly priced, and gave it more attention than the pizza, which was probably of little merit.
I eventually had to "go", and proudly announced that this would indeed be the largest leak since the Titanic.
My friend then said

Quote:
"Ya'll take a listen, you'll hear the deep sound comin' down from Paul Peru."

which is a line from "Wild at heart", only it's said by Bobby Pery about Bobby Peru.
My friend later explained that
a) I think I'm very deep, but all that comes out of me is piss
b) He thought I resembled Willem Dafoe (I don't)

The name stuck, and I've been using it as an alias and "evil alter ego" since.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Taurus is also a gun maker, and they make a revolver called the raging bull.

Me? Well, I had some pet rabbits, and had watched the Holy Grail, and it just fell into place.

Cool, you learn something new everyday.

But I wouldn't name myself after a gun
