#36300525541 12/03/2008 06:47:26 Why did you choose your handle?

Well, you can explain the origin of your handle (if you want to hehe)

Mine is "Notario" and I chose that handle because of The Big Lebowski film. The Dude --> Nota (in spanish) --> Notario

Lets see yours SMILEY

The original character I made on Enumerator at launch was 3zechiel, which is named after the prophet Ezekiel, who fortold the destruction and rebuilding of Jerusalem from atop Mount Zion.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free bird. Hm investigating I guess it's really because of this scene in The Devil's Rejects. I saw the movie Thanksgiving 05 and created Bayamo one day later.

Baya = type of bird, MO = modus operandi. A bayamo also happens to be a violent tropical wind, so the duality of 2 different meanings that I both liked sealed the deal.

My first character i ever made in beta, i named idunno (becuase, i had no idea what handle was XD)

But, the reason i ended up choosing nighthawk7000 was becuase i liked "nighthawk" (I originally got that part from playing Counter Strike, and using the desert eagle to much SMILEY). 7 is a lucky number, but, i thought it would look cooler if you added 3 more zeros.

I started playing a little over 2 years ago, and my main's name is WarOmnimonki. I was a huge fan of monkeys, and I decided a latin prefix would make the name sound better, so I had Omnimonkey, omni- being "all". Then I decided to add more consistency, thus, Omnimonki. Omnimonki was taken (who wouldv'e thought), so I just strapped "War" at the front of it. I'm not sure I'd choose the name again, but I've had it for a long time so I stand by it.

My name comes from Saigo Takamori:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takamo...igo#cite_note-0

I discovered his history watching a beautiful movie: The Last Samurai

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Samurai

The actor Ken Watanabe acted the role of Saigo in that movie, but the authors decided to call him Katsumoto...

prolly a copyright matter, but anyway i ilove samurai lifestyle and i found this character rly interesting also cuz he rly lived in japan and he's part of that nation cultural history.

So i just modified the name to make it more personal, Saigo went SajghO.

This is my story.

#36300525799 12/03/2008 21:14:04 Re:Why did you choose your handle?

I originally wanted to be Rainmaker after the Iron Maiden song, but that was taken, and i didn't want to be rainmaker2 or have a number in my name, so i chose a different song from that same album, Paschendale... Then my friend kicked me off his account, so i had to make my own and ironically got stuck with a song i like less and had to add a number to the end of it because i couldn't delete the old one and people already knew me as paschendale so i didn't want to make a brand new one

*edit* i can't sleep so i'll add my alts lol*

Riftm1 = I wanted Paschendale to be my 1st character on my character select screen because i click buttons too fast and would log onto the wrong character, so it had to be a letter after p.. and my brother was playing Red Alert Tiberium Wars, so i named him after the Rift Generator there, and slapped m1 on the end because the gun i really wanted at the time was the Springfield M1A

Elwood2 = Named after Elwood Blues from The Blues Brothers, and the 2 is my trademark now, plus Elwood was already taken and i stopped caring about Paschendale being the top character on my character select screen

Holden2 = Named after the main character of The Catcher in the Rye, one of my top 5 books of all time, and the 2 was added again because the name was already taken (my good ideas aren't very original)

Also i love this idea Notario, and your suggestion too Manatik.

I've also been curious to know the reason many people chose their names

#36300525831 12/04/2008 00:31:02 Re:Why did you choose your handle?

My char as she is now, is the third remake of her. I previously deleted her at lvl 12 and again at 20.

So Phoenix because she rose from the ashes of the previous 2 chars.Red because I changed her hair colour from green...simple!

All combinations of red/phoenix etc had been taken , so I added 'The' and had to add an extra x .

Ra2za is Razza which is my nickname coz myname is Ryan. but because nearly all the names are becomming taken in this game unless you are called

Wannnatakinnnikkoolliiooddd Then your pretty much screwed... So I used a 2 instead of a Z. Creative Huh!

Oh and after I realised that It was your name I made some good RP names for all my alts hehe!

I wanted my name to be similar to the ones used in the films. All the names in the films had either a religious meaning or had some form of technical reference.

Denary is a relatively unused name for base 10 or what most people would call the decimal numeral system and to me it just sounded right.

My first character was Freequency.  I wasn't sure what name I wanted, although I knew I wanted to align with Zion.  I also wanted something that was in refrence to wave length, because of the symmetry to being "jacked into" or "teleported."  I tried Frequency, but to no avail, it was taken.. so sitting and thinking of a name, I went with Freequency.. Free being in coralation to being free from the control of Machines.
