What made you choose your name?

[littlelostboy]

Hey people, post here to tell us what made you choose your name. For me, I choose my name cause what of the girls in my school called me a cute little boy. Well, I decided to get rid of cute and replace it with lost and turn it the other way round.

What about you guys?

[Somebody Else]

Don't ask me, ask somebody else. I'm just nobody important.

[Duke Malcolm]

I preceded my Christian name with King
It is by mere co-incidence that the Scottish King at the beginning of the MTW time period has the same name.

[IrishMike]

I used to play with ColdFusion on most games, then when I got MTW I changed it to ColdKnight to sound more MTW. So just took my name from multi and used it here when I signed up.

[miho]

Personally it's my nickname at school from my last-name.

[The_Doctor]

It is my name with "-us" on the end and the "y" changed to an "i".

It is a Roman name.

[Dîn-Heru]

Dîn-Heru Elvish for Silent Ruler/Lord. Because I am a silent person, and Heru because it fits with the types of games I play, and because I like to think that I am in control of things..

[Togakure]

Back when I first decided to come online to give Shogun MP a try, I found myself here in short order. The first task I faced was creating an account. Ever a RPG enthusiast, I wanted to create a name that fit my character and interests. At the time, I was reading a lot about real-world ninja, and I really liked the ninja videos in the game, so I settled upon a ninja character for my alter-ego in S:TW-land.

Togakure Ryu is a well-known and respected Ninja school in Japan. According to several books that I've read, ninja hierarchy was divided into three levels: chunin ("grunt" ninja that carried out orders; the ninja shown in the game are most likely chunin), genin (tactical "captains," that were in charge of groups of chunin), and jonin (strategic commanders or ninja "generals," who made the major decisions for a ninja clan).

The prefix 'O' means "Great" in Japanese (or at least something to that effect). An example of its use would be O'Sensei, which means "Great Teacher," and is used to refer to Ueshiba Morihei, the founder of Aikido and arguably the most profound Japanese martial artist of the twentieth century.

I chose the surname Togakure from the ninja school, and O'Jonin as my personal name, though the latter is really a title (one which likely doesn't make any sense in the Japanese language).

All in good fun. I've been thinking for a while now about shortening my name here to just "Toga." The original name is too long, and most of my friends in the community call me Toga now anyway.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

No Way!

First posted using "Shinano" and played under "Mimesaka", both provinces from Shogun. Eventually decided I didn't like Shinano and changed the name to Sasaki Kojiro, which looks cool.

[Ianofsmeg16]

You may thank Red Dwarf, in Particular Lister, for my name :)

[Kagemusha]

In feodal Japan Kagemusha was a doppelganger of for example a famous general who was used to trick the enemy that a certain lord was somewhere, when he was infact somewhere else.

[Geoffrey S]

It's my name, sort of. I'll probably see if it can be changed once I pass the 1000 posts, if I think it's worth it.

[Zalmoxis]

There was a thread on this awhile back.
