From my railway/railroading interests, and my inclination to "branch off" from the mainstream of everyday popular interests.

odenskrigare is Swedish for 'warrior of Odin' ... Odin is a god of vicissitudes and since my attitude is that life is a b*tch, the name is fitting

I cant be bothered making up names so I dont!

I borrowed mine from Aristotle. Phronesis is Aristotle's greek term to refer to the excellence of practical wisdom; phronimos is someone with the excellence of phronesis, which I naturally don't in the fully rich sense that Aristotle uses the term, but its a pretty cool greek word and one of the aspects of Aristotle's NE that I really liked.

It's a nickname by a friend. Because my real name sounds like "Jose".

If I was 14, this username will be "blazinpzycho", a name I used in a game called Runescape - which I no longer play.

Its my government name. I am here as mole.

It's pretty obvious where I got my name I think.

A "parapraxis" is a Freudian slip...but it sounds a lot better than having my username as "Freudian Slip"...

Used it on another board when I could not think of anything I liked. Playing with the band RelientK's (sic) name, but adding my initials.

RelientK is a awesome band. "Give until there's nothing left", "The Best Thing" and "Must have done something right" are my personal favorites.

Made up mine about 10 years ago after sitting in front of my computer screen for approximately 4 hours trying to think of a name for my new character on the MUD 'Discworld'. At the end of the 4 hours I was quite happy with what I thought was a fairly original name. Creativity not being a strong point of mine, nor wanting to put that much effort into another one, I kept it.

My name comes from two different sources. One is I am a huge fan of Doctor Who, but that is seconday. It originally comes from a turnament gaming team I use to be a part of, we were a group of 7 and and we based our group theme off of the shorts of Red V Blue. We had 3 blue members and 3 red members and If it was a 4 play turnament I was the filler, purple. On RvB the purple guy was Doc. So my gamername was tehdoc.

Mine came from the Big Lebowski.



Simple, eh?

I thunkd about it real hard.

My name comes from track seven of the album "Thirteenth Step" by A Perfect Circle. Simple enough.

My name comes from Leonard Nimoy. Heavy on the Nimoy part I suppose.

I saw this: YouTube - Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire - Part 02 of 06 - Nero 1/6
And I wanted a name with EmperorNero in it.
I figured just 'EmperorNero' is certainly taken and I didn't want to add some number at the end: EmperorNero752.
So I went with NoEmperorNero, mainly because it sounded catchy to me at the time.
And to convey that I'm not decadent and crazy like Nero.

Fascinating question!

I'm member of many forums, and the names indeed range from bizarre to ludicrous!



Normally, I maintain a universal forum name, since trying to recall many different ones is no easy task for one who is memory-challenged!

The ClaudeA I chose here was purposefully to give a better idea of my true identity, Claude Armstrong. In the past I've not been quite as proud of my heirloom name, but lately I've been digging into my past, and realized anew how my father so loved his oldest brother's first son, who died in his first year, that about 30 years later, when i was born to my parents, I was given my deceased infant uncle his name.

That's my story! :detective:

I chose my real name, made sense to me. Much easier to remember.
