What made you choose your name?

**Dâriûsh** · 11-21-2005, 09:21

I forgot. Oh wait, no I didn’t. Dariush is my actual name.

Mine is from the Jerry Cornelius books by Michael Moorcock. He is the English Assassin, (in fact that's the title of book 2) amongst a lot of other things.

I use Jerry Cornelius on other sites. If I was reregistering here I'd probably go with Jerry here too, but I'm used to being EA and its not worth the bother.

**Adrian II** · 11-21-2005, 11:13

I am, in fact, AdrianII. AdrianI was shot on his way to work. There is an AdrianIII in the works, we are honing his taste, aim, language and lethal delivery skills as we speak.

**Brutus** · 11-21-2005, 14:22

It is one of the strange nicknames my mother used to call me (one of the others was "Iwan the Terrible"...go figure). Also, I like the sound and meaning of the word and it seemed quite appropriate for this forum anyway. I was actually surprised to find no-one registered as 'Brutus' before.

Hey All;

Dagobert was one of the last Merovingian (Visigothic)
kings who was murdered to allow the succession of the
Franks. Ol'boy took a spear in his eye. Then again, if he did
not, perhaps Poitiers would have never happened...

I thought Dagobert and the Merovingian line were Franks... that is what I read in a biography of Charlemagne.

I chose my name from Marcus Claudius Marcellus (268-208BC), a Roman general sometimes known as the 'Sword of Rome'. I had just finished reading a bit about him and he sounded like a pretty good general.
