What's in a name ???

[JopieK]

Well, I have used jopiek for about 11 years now I guessm since I became active on the internet (1997 when I started my Bachelor in Informatics).

it's a modification to my first name Johan (eng: John) and the added K of my lastname. So it also should be pronounced [jopʰiːkɑ] or in English [jopʰiːke].

[Admiral Bejaune]

I really only build sailing ships, so I wanted to go with just HMS, but I think It was taken or not long enough so I just put 243 at the end. 243 is the start of an old telephone number I once had.

[Guss]

a friend of me used to say that I look like the little mouse called " Guss " in the Disney's movie " Cinderella ", it was 10 years ago.. now, everyone call me Guss, My girlfriend, my friends, my mother , my cousins, the family of my girlfriend... but my real name is David ^^

[Lego12]

@Guss: I never would have guessed!

I finally know what Erdbeereis1 name stand for!

Lego12

[Zorro]

Zorro is the same as "De Vos" in Dutch, it also used to be my nickname on school, that is why I use it.

And also my email starts with Zorro. The number 3999 is my Visa Card Code (the one of Visa 3765-7587-7876-467 that expires January 2010)

I took it so I would always remember it.

Lego12

Me too!

I always wondered about those names [and other ones...]

[Dark Sword Ragnarok]

Well, let's see.

When I was little (like, 10 or something) all my friends had a Neopets account. I made one and tried to name myself "ragnarok" after the double-bladed sword called the Ragnarok in FF: Crystal Chronicles. Alas, the name was taken, but Ragnarok214 was suggested. I took that.

When I joined here, I thought I should get a name that sounded really cool, but stayed true to my original. The original Ragnarok I saw was black, so I thought, Black=Dark. And, well, it's a sword, so, yeah. Dark Sword Ragnarok! Whammo!

Just as a side note, the Ragnarok is the most powerful sword in most all FF games (except FF Tactics Advance I, where it is the weaker sword, and the Nagrarok is most powerful) An excerpt from FF:CC:Ring of Fates:

"The fantastical sword said to lead toward the world's end, and then to another world reborn." and what the design says:

"Pattern for the weapon used by the king of gods in the final battle. For Clavats only."

Thus, Clone Commando Two- Fourteen, also.

Mine is my extremly lazy cat

[h.k.]

Well, whenever I register for something online, I use h.k. because no one has that. It is my first and middle name's first letters.

[hewkii9]

Well, a long time ago, in like grade 3, I was in running club. I quit in grade 7 after I came second-last in a race, and last place broke his leg. But I was running, lagging behind my friends [second-last, remember?], when I heard one of them mentioning leveling up their cooking. I was intrigued. I found out they were discussing Runescape. Oh, those good old days with the crap for beans graphics and the delightfully retro feeling to it. I signed up, needed a username. Hewkii's my favorite Bionicle character [well, tied with Pohatu], so hewkii. And I was 9, so hewkii9 was born. I've used it ever since for everything. Although I'm Hewkiril on CC.

[Dennimator]

Well, mine actually is very simple. I´m doing stop-motion animations and my name is Dennis.

Dennis + animator = Dennimator.

On youtube it´s Dennimation, though. (Haven´t uploaded anything there yet, my brickfilms are crap... But I have got a great idea! )

[Captain Zuloo]

Well, my name is from a long tradition of te Zuloo...

Actually, I was pretty tired when I created my account, so instead of Zulu I wrote Zuloo. But I'm actually glad I didn't make it Zulu, because it's more unique this way. I reckon Captain Zuloo is a good name for a pirate hunting minifig anyway.

[Guss]

so you're the captain of the Zulu ? funny ^^

Dennimator : nice contraction ^^

@Guss: default_oh3.gif I never would have guessed! default_tong.gif

and I didn't put my complete nickname ^^

Normally it's : Guss De Blöd , but it's too long to write when I want to connect to a website, so I used Guss ^^

you want to know WHY "de Blöd" I think there is some german people there ? They surely know what " Der Blödmann" means

( I don't speak German, It's just another friend who called me like this because he was german and used to say that I do stupid things ^^ )

[Erdbeereis]

Hallo Herr Der Bloedmann! Wie geht's? At least it wasn't something worse...

[darkrebellion]

Actually, I thought my name from anywhere. I was just thinking before join and I think what about darkrebellion? so I just keep it . I also think in this name when I was writing my Star Wars spin-off "Dark times for the rebellion" .

[ProducePrincess]

I got my name from a stratagey i use in crysis where i jump like a rabbit to avoid being hit ,because when your fighting hackers they can 1 shot kill you and the reason why its black rabbit is becasue it sounds more sinister than white rabbit

ive had multiple names like doomsayer but i found those names to be somewhat stupid so thats why i stuck with black rabbit

[Bricklanta]

My name comes from a Gameboy Advance game called Golden Sun. Back in the days when I first got on the internet (well, on a daily basis) I really loved that game and just loved the pronunciation of Kikuichimonji (which is a sword in it, it's based on some kind of Japanese folklore/legend).

Like most of us, I never got rid of it. I still like the sound of it, but I'm not into Japan that much anymore. Although...I still enjoy collecting Japanese games and am teaching myself Japanese.

...can you imagine how bad it was a couple of years ago :-D

I love that game too! I can't wait for Golden Sun 3.

My name comes from the city I'm from, Atlanta Georgia plus brick. So it's Bricklanta

[Thee Pirate]

My name actually has nothing to do with Lego pirates, and everything to do with rock and roll.

Thee Pirates was a punk rock band from Canada around 10 years ago. I was a pretty big fan of them, saw them every single time they came to California... and my user names have always been "thee pirate" or "hot rod camaro" (because of my first car)

Thee Pirate just seemed more appropriate for this forum, so Thee Pirate it was.

I'm even a huge fan of un-Lego pirate merch. Movies (Captain Blood, POTC, Treasure Island, etc.) , books (Richard Zacks' The Pirate Hunter), games (I totally have the POTC edition of Life, where you sail around in a little boat instead of drive a car, and I have been known to play Sid Meier's Pirates for hours on end)

[iamded]

I [...] tried to name myself "ragnarok" after the double-bladed sword called the Ragnarok in FF: Crystal Chronicles.

Ragnarok is actually the end of the world / beginning of a new world in Norse mythology. Don't worry, I learnt that from video games too, in Age of Mythology.

So, you're a Trek-y? I never would have guessed it.

[Darth_Legois]

I dont remember if I've posted mine here....hmmm anyway

I choose Darth Because I like Sith.

And Lego because I like lego...But I didn't want it to be "Darth_Lego" Although that probable would've been fine

So I thought, Well I like Sidious's name...so I thought oh yea just add a is to the end of it like Sidious! [i was probable 12 at the time when I first joined a forum and used this name]

So there you go.

Also some people here [i think] and on other forums have thought the i was a typo and said "Darth_Legos"

[matanui911]

I made My name Matanui911 because I love the bionicle series. The 911 just sounded cool

[Plural]

I choose Darth Because I like Sith.

And Lego because I like lego...But I didn't want it to be "Darth_Lego" Although that probable would've been fine

So I thought, Well I like Sidious's name...so I thought oh yea just add a is to the end of it like Sidious! [i was probable 12 at the time when I first joined a forum and used this name]

I've often wondered how to pronounce your name, and had falsely assumed it rhymed with the name "Francois".

It's good to have that cleared up.
