Just curious. There are some I think I have figured out. For instance JAG, I assume you are using your initials. There are many more, however, that I have no idea about, Cebei for example.
I chose Goofball because that was how my dad used to refer to me when I had done something stupid, which seemed to happen with monotonous regularity...
How about the rest of you?

Very observant it is indeed my initials :) Boring I know but still, thats it.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

I do know I was forced to misspell it because at the time there was already a Solipsist with Yahoo mail.

My nick has been the same for everything I do online ever since I started at Uni. I hadn't done much drinking before I arrived there, so I didn't really have the taste for beer then. My favourite (very girly) drink was Malibu and coke. I still have one every now and then, when I've had enough pints of bitter to get up the courage to ask for one with a straight face.

I live in the City of the Tribes , the first game forum I joined was for Patrician (a medieval trading game ) as the tribes were the medieval merchant families in town it seemed appropriate .

Mine is a bastardization of an Arabic word (مضفر - imported into Turkish and who knows what else...) meaning triumphant. I made it up as Muzaffer Postal (the triumphant boot) back in the dark ages when I was playing World Empire III on a P100. It has been my primary gaming alias, actually was the only one until I started using Hayreddin Barbarossa for seafaring/pirate games and Mao Dun for Emperor RotMK.
Nice to see you here Tribesman.

I wondered about the spelling of Orkeny as in Orkney Islands. But; all hail to the son of Lot King of Norway and Anna.Originally Posted by [b
Mine is a Scandinavian version of Sigurd the Dragon killer from Norse mythology (I say Scandinavian because the Norwegian way of spelling it would be Fafnirsbane)

hmm, i wonder where i came up with this one

Hiji: A rare fungus found off the coast of Japan.
Also the name of a city.
i found this out after i made the name. Actually , i had random letters typed in for my gamespy account. i shortened it and i got Hiji. What are the chances it also meant a fungus.

The idea behind mine is that you won't always like what I have to say (Demon) but I always strive for truth and fairness (of Light). There's also an element of Devil's advocacy here. Further, there is an idea of being something of a succubus involved in the name. All a person might see is iridescent light but, beyond that, lies the demon.
The surest way to lose the respect of one's peers is to take a stand on principle...alone.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

ichi means 'one' in Japanese. It is not an uncommon name. I specifically chose it after watching what I consider to be a really cool series of movies about a blind swordsman named Zatoichi, who usually just goes by 'just plain ichi'.
Made in the 60's starring Shintaro Katsu, they are quirky films but quite enjoyable. Recently a new movie with a new actor playing the role has come out.

Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?

Getting this off my chest, the story ends.
Hrvoje is a first name of the alias I use online, and it's a Croatian name I find fairly silly. It's also unpronouncable by the English speakers. J is the initial of the alias' last name.
Other than that, all my personalities are quite nice people.

Howdy Mouzaf , are you still pirating?
Mine was a monster from a Terry Brooks book, the Jacheera I think, and I changed the spelling because I thought it looked better.
I also sometimes go with the name Raptor as that was a nickname I was given when I worked on a cruise ship, I rather not go into the reasons

Dhepee was my first email username on AOL way back when, and it comes from my first two initials DH, and then the weapon that I fence with, the epee.
I still use Dhepee, because it is easy for friends to remember when I switch email addresses; only the part after the @ changes. Now I've gotten so used to it that I can't imagine having a different email username.

Mine is elvish.
Dîn - Silent
Heru - Ruler
Hence my nick is the same as my title.
I chose this nick because I don't open my mouth much, and when I do it is hardly audioble (go figure....) The ruler part stems from the fact that I am arrogant enough to consider myself above most people... The reason for it being elvish is that I enjoy Tolkien's books.
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
