Why did you pick your nickname?

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

Why did you choose your nickname?

I called myself Copperhaired Berserker! because of this: I have red hair, and copper is a red metal, so that's the copper bit sussed out. haired just means that my I'm red-haired. (Of course, you'd know that.) Berserker! is because I like controling berserkers in RTW and killing hordes of infantry. Another reason is because if someone annoys, a kick in the happy sack follows.

OH, and TK-421, I know why you called that name. It's one of the stormtrooper's name in Star Wars.

[IrishMike]

Ummm.... Started using the current one in the chat area, cause i'm irish and mike is a shortening of my real name.

[The_Doctor]

I all started last year. I watched an episode of the new Doctor Who(Aliens of London) and I was hooked. So I added the words "Time Lord" under my username. Then M2TW was announced and my old username was out of date.

So it was time for a change, something like Lord Howard, or Duke of Merseyside, or King Martyn the Great were too obvious.

Then I thought "The Doctor". Then I discovered somebody had taken the name and only posted twice. Thus the underscore had to be added.

I started a thread asking to change my username and it started a wave of name changing.

[tibilicus]

After my RTW MP name has stuck with me for a while.

[BelgradeWar]

Well, it's a combination of my home city, and the fact I'm on a Total War forum...just came together...

[ajaxfetish]

I'd tell you . . . . . . . . but then I'd have to kill you.

Ajax

[Reverend Joe]

You must be really afraid of someone discovering your fetish...

[ajaxfetish]

Some things aren't meant to be known .

Ajax

[Zalmoxis]

At the time I joined I played Monster Hunter with this name, which I got from of course from Dacian mythology.

[Csargo]

I just made up this name because I like Russian history and just made it up.

[Dâriûsh]

I just used my own name. I am a bit lazy.

[Somebody Else]

Deniability

[doc_bean]

My last name translates to Beans, I used to call myself Mr Bean on usenet when I first got an internet connection (about ten years ago), it wasn't the most original name and I needed something that stood out a bit more, so I opted for 'doc' instead of 'mr'. It also showed my youthful enthusiasm for science I guess. I considered doing a doctorate last year just so I could live up to my name, but decided that might not be the best reason to make such an important decision

[Templar Knight]

Knight Templar was taken so I picked Templar Knight, why? Because they are my favorite bunch of medieval guys.

[Rodion Romanovich]

I chose mine because it was RTW time when I registered. First I thought about taking the name of someone from the period but then realized most were taken, so I decided to choose a legion. Valeria Victrix and UlpiaVictrix and Adiutrix were interesting alternatives, but Valeria Victrix was taken and a bonus in UlpiaVictrix is that it was number 30, which becomes XXX, which nowadays means something we all love very much

[Geoffrey S]

My name. Haven't ever been bothered enough to make up a nick.

[Craterus]

Had just finished reading the Alexander trilogy, and decided to use the name of one of his companions.

I almost signed up as Lysimachus.

[Ianofsmeg16]

Ian : My Name

ofsmeg: Came from a Red Dwarf episode where lister announces himself to a knightly court as "Lister of Smeg", i adapted the name of course (",)

16: Lucky Number

[Duke Malcolm]

After contemplating a variety of options, I decided to precede my name with "King". I had pondered over "King Malcolm V", since there have already been four King Malcolms previously, but I decided against it, and the King of Scots at the start of MTW is King Malcolm III Canmore.

Later, I decided I would rather not be a King, but a high noble, such as a Duke or Marquess.

[Viking]

My nick is what I am.

[Reidy]

Its my nickname is 'real life'.

*gasp* I said a bad word...

[BigTex]

Used mine becuase its a nickname in reallife, got it from being 6'4 3/4'' and 215lb.

[BelgradeWar]

Used mine becuase its a nickname in reallife, got it from being 6'4 3/4'' and 215lb.

Despite being from a metrical system country, I guess it's a lot

[Dutch_guy]

really didn't know what to choose and this nick well... says it all.

[Ianofsmeg16]

I reackon we should have a vote over 'Best name', I vote for Legio, he's probably got the best

[Slyspy]

I was given my nickname long ago for my madskillz at the game "Spy vs Spy".

[Samurai Waki]

...I really don't know why I chose my name, just kind of guessed it at the spur of the moment.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Histeria was the best show ever. And my name comes from a skit on it.

[Strike For The South]

The South will rise again

[Zain]

When I was 9 (5 years ago) I had a dream about a kid inside of a training facility. His trainer called him "Zain" so I borrowed that name for almost everything I needed. And "Dustin" Is my true name in real life. Anyone have any ideas on how to reword this so it looks better?
