    Default Where did you get your name from

    Where did you get your name from in these forums did you make it up or get it from somewhere, I ask because some names are pretty good.
    For me I just thought it was funny.

    I added "King" as a title to my real given name, it is an happy coincidence that in the starting period of MTW, the King of Scots is King Malcolm III...

    I later requested it be changed to "Duke", since "King" would rank above Her Majesty the Queen... And I got a little bored...

    I caught a fleeting glimpse

    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.

    Is that Malcolm Cenmore? The King at the end of Shakespeare's MacBeth? (Probably the most acclaimed 'innacurate' historical fiction mind, MacBeth's army killed Duncan, not MacBeth himself, the Thane of Fife's family was killed in a raid, unintentionally, Malcolm's army [consisting of loyal Scots to Ross, Fife, Malcolm, Lennox [formerly MacBeths's ally and English reinforcements killed MacBeth, and his follwers but I digress. I got mine from my odd heritage, I was nicknamed from a young age, roughly translated to english, halfbreed 15, from being the fifteenth in my family and not being compltelly "Hye". So I did not want to subject everyone thinking what does his name mean? So I have IrishArmenian.

    I was playing a VI Saxon campaign when I registered, as many of you know the first Saxon hero is Wigferth, he rocketh, so I took his name and added "Ironwall" because his impoverished Saxon army was all spears and a few horsemen.

    Hence me sig as well, that was what I used to shout at the screen.

    I got it from my usernames at the SCC and Totalrome.com (or whatever the .___ is).

    Where it came from before that? Guess.

    Nickname, but not one given to me by me peers, rather, given to me by my teacher in Primary school. People took it up, mainly because it rhymed with some ... not-very-polite (for Primary schoolers) adjectives. Well, my being a stubborn up-yours kind-of-guy, I decided to take it on as a mark of pride ... and am still called that.

    Got together with some friends for a Descent LAN party back in '96(?). I wasn't much of a FPS-type player back then, while a couple of the guys I was playing with were assassins. I was such a n00b I could barely stay alive for a few seconds. After a while, I changed my player name to represent what I felt like, just a pilot-less target to be shot down during training, and have used it online for gaming ever since.

    I'm not sure exactly where I got mine. I think I might have had a huge cold when I first used Hankerchief somewhere. But that still doesn't explain the missing D and the fact that I now intentionally spell hankerchief this way.

    As for "General":
