[Bai Karl]

Stan from Stanislav

[Trent R]

Trent Robertson is my real name, but I used to use Sirus Squire as my internet alias. I liked the name and it later became a GURPS character for me. Also, the name 'Sirus' came from the name 'Cyrus' in Chrono Trigger.

[Bulbapuck]

I acctually have a story behind my name!  8)

My real name is Jakob but I had a freind who didn't like that name. So he kept coming up with nicknames for me, and one that stuck was Puck.

Years later I had a show with my death metal band. Before the show I drank way too much caffein, and when I got out on stage I got a huge addrenalin rush.
This caused me to start shaking uncontrolably, but my freinds knew what the real reason was. I was evolving into BULBAPUCK

I liked it so much that I decided to use it. It's practcal since nobody else has that name anywhere. If you google it you only find stuff about me.

Hmm, I remember the story to be funnier... guess you had to be there

[MoodyBlues]

Um... my last name is Moody.  And I like the color blue.  And there is also a band called The Moody Blues.

[Anian]

Now explain the superfluous X'es 

He likes it very much. 

Just to keep on topic - as far as I can remember, I was borred with learning latin and then I found there's a dictionary of latin names at the back of the dictionary, so I picked and modernised one of them, Anicius is a roman family and one of them was a general that fought a king from Illirya (where I'm generally from)...so I kinda shortened it and make it sounds like a laser beam... 

[Trent R]

Now explain the superfluous X'es 

It's roman numerals for his goal of how many posts to make per day.

[Timo.]

There once was a boy named Timothy,
He moved to Korea, friends said he looked like a gangster.
Thus, they gave him a random name called Tecyang (which just means gangster for god's sake)
Then, when they realised that he has a quirky hobby of playing point-and-click adventure games,
And liked to go to the Big Blue Cup,
They decided to call him Taeyang (Gangster Fail)

I would like to thank my friends in Korea who gave me this name which I happen to use only in AGS, BBC and in the future, my very own games.

[Something13]

Lets see... It all started when I was coming up with a name to use for Age of Mythology (maybe?) and I was having trouble thinking of something unique and semi-clever. All I knew is that it had to have "13" in it somewhere because that is my favorite number.

I thought about it for about a week. During this week, whenever anyone would ask me about my name, I would say "I don't know. Its going to be something, followed by the number 13."

After awhile I realized, why not just make my name something13?

And thats how my name came to be

[LRH]

I used to play an MMORPG and talked to the people I played with on Ventrilo.
My handle (and my actual real-life nickname) is the result of a friend's accidental combination of my name and our buddy Johnathan, since we both had very similar voices and were confused very easily. I said something, and confused as to who was speaking she said: "Domi...John..? Dominic..Johnathan.....Domithan?"

[Crimson Wizard]

When I was younger I used to use evil guy's name as my nicknames (in games usually), 'cause they had cool names usually. I used "Sheltem" and "Alamar" in many RPG's I played (sometimes to name two heroes in a party) - these were real and pseudo names of the main boss in Might&Magic 4,5. Then, I used "Shadow Weaver" as a forum nickname for a while - it was a name of main boss in the old "Summoning" RPG.

Now, about "crimson wizard".... funnily, although I use this name for only about 4 or 5 years max, I hardly remember the origins... I think it was a silly joke invented a while ago, about "communistic order of wizards" in the fantasy world, who live in the red tower with Lenin's statue on top, or something like that. 

[Jim Reed]

Might as well post here....
Jim Reed is a name a just came up this summer. Nothing fancy, but it kinda sounds cool.
