I know that this was posted a few times already, but how did you come up with the nickname you use here at the JA and on the servers?

I made my name like this..
A medieval RPG, Lianiotte is like a Lion. Go with Lian. Lian by itself looks naked, so I added iotte.
I don't normally make names thinking of words that already exist (like Lian or Lemon or Nuclear Bomb.) I normally make FULL names like how I made iotte. Just write some name down with random letters that WORK and see if I like it.

You say Lianiotte like: Lie-anne-E-ut

i got mine from a book i was reading at some point, the seven blessings, then i took up skinning and i realised that ppl might think that there were 7 ppl actually skinning so i changed it to the similar 7th blessing. i cant remember teh book.:D

My name is the result of an oddly random conversation. Somebody once pointed out to me that, if I swapped the 1st letter of my surname with the 1st letter of my forename, my surname would be 'Garris'. I countered by pointing out that if I left the 'H' in and just put the 'G' in front it would sound just the same. Then, when I first got on t'internet I remembered the conversation while registering for a forum. Although these days I prefer for my name to be pronounced G-Harris.
Hope that cured all you insomnaics out there :)

Oh, I also use a different name for flightsim fora/online games: Fox_4. It's an airforce joke, try looking it up.

I started out as Rburtrand(first letter of my first name, added to my surname), I'd used it in the past but it didn't really work here. There didn't appear to be any consensus as to what it should be shortened to(and I don't think I helped when I was asked about what it should be shortened to).

So I decided to adopt a new name. I'd been playing as the class of Jedi Guardian in KotOR(KotOR Rules !!!), so I adopted the Guardian from that but couldn't think what to put in front of it. Then I remembered that few guys at the academy had pointed out that I didn't talk very much so I adopted Quiet.

I can't remember for sure who said I was quiet but I'm almost certain motrec(thanks mate and to anyone else who said I didn't talk much) was among them.

Well, I joined more or less at the same time as Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun and Naga Sadow, RL friends of mine.
When we were searching for nicknames i found a book and on a certain page were the portraits of 4 ancient sith lords.
Guess who they were....

I chose Ulic because the portrait looked like me..a bit....

This is a name I created for myself about six years ago, when X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter had reached its peak in popularity, shortly after the Balance of Power expansion came out. I applied my online experiences as well as offline (through the original X-Wing and TIE Fighter games) as well as my experiences with Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast, and now, Jedi Academy, to create an actual "character" of sorts. His full name is Themrit Siduro.

Edit: In real life, I'm usually referred to as "Satan." It came from a time when my friends and I were trying to make a fire at the beach with one of those logs you buy. It was windy, so we weren't having much luck. I reached over, poked the log, and it burst into flames. :-D

Well I don't think where I got "mad" needs description, and neither does that my first name is chris, hence c+mad -> cmad

As for Dr. MAD D O double G, I only had it for a short time and it wasn't a really important name of mine...

ah well, here it goes (historically ordered):

* cmad -> <c>hris (my first name) + mad (my constant state)
* cmad_x aka cMAD_X -> cmad + x (my favorite letter)
* Darth Madex -> Darth (I am d/s all the way in case you don't know) + Mad (my constant state) + ex (which is "x" but formatted to fit in)
* Dr. MAD D O double G -> I had this nick when I was more obsessed than ever with G rap... It is: Dr. (from Dr. Dre) + MAD (me) + D O double G = dogg

and at last

* cmad X -> cmad + X (from X-ecuted, a group I formed some time ago)

mine goes back to when i just got out of college and started doing freelance design work. i used the name Promethean Design Group. promethean (means boldly creative or defiantly unique) is an adjective taken from (in greek mythology) the titan prometheus (stole fire from the gods to give light to the people of the world, as punishment for doing so the gods chained him to a rock and an eagle eats his liver for all eternity). so i took on the nick prometheus when i stated playing half-life way back when. over time it has evolved from prometheus, to prome, to prom, to prom3th3us, to 3th3us, to 3th. i also am kinda fond of the reference to say 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, and 3th being some odd non-place.
