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.

Re: Where did you get your name from
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...
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

I like the Knights Templar, however Knight Templar was taken so I called myself Templar Knight.

I got it from my usernames at the SCC and Totalrome.com (or whatever the .___ is).
Where it came from before that? Guess.

Re: Where did you get your name from
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.
Re: Where did you get your name from
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.

Re: Where did you get your name from
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":

Out of the corner of my eye.

When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Where did you get your name from
Mine is from an excellent kid's cartoon - Histeria, which made fun of history while teaching it (albeit in a cursory manner). It had a skit about Alexander the Great and his father. Alexander would keep on doing impressive things that his father would dismiss as "pretty good."
Alexander (while surfing on a chariot pulled by lions): Hey dad! Check this out!
Dad: Pretty good, son. Not great; but pretty good.
I found it funny, and I'm certainly not great...

Re: Where did you get your name from
Back in the Shogun Total War days, I was looking for a way to turn my real name into a Japanese sounding name. I tried appending several common endings of Japanese names I knew and "oshi" seemed to fit best with "Greg". My only fear was that "gregoshi" might actually mean something in Japanese. If it does, nobody has told me in 6 years.

Re: Where did you get your name from
seemed like a good name at the time. i'm over it now, and would change it but for losing the length of time i've had it here.

I used to play Monster Hunter with this name, taken from (surprisingly) Dacian religion, and decided to use that name here too because it was relevant.

Got my name from a type of contraceptive, the Rhythmic Method. I decided to spell it wrong in my name just to be post-modern.
But, my real nickname is "Black Magic" ... I play bass so my friends thought that was appropriate.

Reminds me of that Gary Larson cartoon where the Lone Ranger finally gets his hands on an Apache-English dictionary....My only fear was that "gregoshi" might actually mean something in Japanese. If it does, nobody has told me in 6 years.
Mine is the title of (and the lead character in) a book by Michael Moorcock. Well, the character is actually Jerry Cornelius, he just is the English Assassin. Jerry's life involves a lot of drugs, orgies, bass playing, transvestism, wilfully obscure and frequently halucinogenic weaponry and an increasingly fractured narrative in which he may be in 1917 on one page and 1973 the next.
So obviously I felt we had a lot in common.

Re: Where did you get your name from
My name comes from the Dune universe, "Kralizec", in the Fremen language it means more or less 'apocalypse'. I think it's mentioned the first time in book 3, Children of Dune. I thought it sounded cool, and I needed a new name...
My old name, Germaanse Strijder, I picked for the purpose of playing Call of Duty and BF1942. I usually played Axis and it means 'germanic warrior' (not in the national sense)
However due to the nature of the name, I figured people mightl associate me with things I absoletly don't have anything to do with
