Too bad Ajax had to die.

**Tiberius of the Drake** · 02-07-2007, 02:05

well...

I usually just use Drake simply because i like latin and Draconius is latin for a standard bearer, who carried a dragon standard

, of the late Roman empire (classical one) and i anglicized it. I choses tiberius because i believe that he is probably the most underaprreciated of the Julio-Claudian emperors (first five emperors). also it is a common ancient latin name.

**germanpeon** · 02-08-2007, 02:38

Ive used germanpeon since I started playing Warcraft 3 on battlenet, and I chose that name for some random reason. It doesnt really apply to anything else (for lack of Wc3 peons), but I use it anyway.

My name story is kinda good. I take latin at the moment at school, and one of the charachters is actually a real person. His name was Quintus. So, i chose quintus and seens as though my birthday is in 1993 i got:
Quintus + 93= Quintus93

Quintus

**Derfasciti** · 02-26-2007, 02:07

Cool topic.

When I was in 7th-8th grade I was getting pretty interested in the Third Reich and it's history. Many of my friends started jokingly calling me "Hitler" and "nazi". To screw with them, and because I think it's a cool name, I thought of a cool name.

Der= The
Fasciti= Fascist

Derfasciti was born.

**Lord Winter** · 02-26-2007, 02:52

I couldn't think of any other name so I just took one from the book I was reading at that time. The name comes from the general forsaken, Sammual, in Robert Jordan's WoT series.

You have a lust for war plus shouldn't you say that you'd eat your helmet?

**zoyclem** · 03-10-2007, 22:03

My handle comes from the trademark used by a long-forgotten anarchist named Zoy Clem.

He and a fellow conspirator (the Floy Boy) hoped to overthrow the government by defacing dollar bills with stupid artwork and odd statements such as "PLAY MONEY" or "FAKE" in prominent locations. Their signatures overlaid those of the original Treasurer and Secretary.

These two radicals would then spend this capital to place it back into circulation, hoping to confuse clerks and bank tellers everywhere. Or at least that’s how I pictured it.

Needless to say, the plan failed, but the artwork was very good and looked like it belonged on the bills. The only drawback was that the guerilla artists used extremely bright colors, which made the currency stand out like a long-extinct three-dollar note.

Anyway, I came upon one of these bills, and found the name Zoy Clem bizarre enough to remember, so eventually I started using it as a blog handle, partly because it seemed unique (I wouldn't have to worry about others taking it first), and also because it had a somewhat surreal history.

You wouldn't perchance have a picture of one of those notes handy would you?

**scipiosgoblin** · 02-05-2009, 23:57

One of my heroes is Publius Conrnelius Scipio Africanus. Goblin was my call sign when I was in the Navy. (I startled some Marine pilots at a briefing and they called me Green Goblin.) Therefore, Scipios' Goblin.
