How did you come up with your username?

I chose Brega because he's a incredibly COOL dude from BG2!!!

I know my name is wierd so I'm going two explain it. Well I love the name psycho but thats just two boring so I thought of my favorite movie "Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail", and anybody who has seen that movie has to love the psycho rabbit that jumps around kills half of the knights. It's the best.

Oh yeah, that vicious killer rabbit, killed 5 men it did!! Pure Golders, that!!!

By careful thought...took me a good half-day to think of my name.

Character name from AD&D, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Baldur's Gate II.

i farted

fuoco means fire in italian. my astrologist told me i need more "fire element" to balance my heavy "water" :)

Mine is a koine greek word meaning Disciple or Student. I came up with the name in seminary when I was choosing a screen name or the first time (back in 1992). When registering for SP, the name jumped back to me and I used it.

I almost used my old character's name "Sacrafix" . . . but I think Mathetais fits me a little better.

Character name throughout Baldur's Gate series. Took me 4 hours to come up with it.

I have no idea. I use the name 'Vargx' on all the other message boards and such that I do.

Deviant is from BG2 and it sums up my personality pretty well.

the punchline was: Arty Chokes, 3 for a dollar.

well.. mine is fairly obvious to any true fantasy lover.

It is taken from the dragonlance chronicles although phsically i look alot more like tika, my personality is more like Kitiara :D

I spent some time finding it, but here it is :D

*sighs* Mine is nowhere near as creative as the rest of you as it's just my name.

I think i saw it in the paper or something like that! :)
I thought it sounded cool so i used it! :)

:D

AMD Athlon, just added an A to it

i believe ive answered a topic like this. its because my head is egg-shaped and i used to be fat, so put it together and you get fategg, at least that was my logic behind it.

Well the answer to my name can be found at the following URL:

:D :D :D :D

I was knighted in England years ago when I saved the Prince from a terrorist attack, so I have to use "Sir" now...Oh wait, that was a Tom Clancy book I read...Sorry.

Belisarius was the name of the first AD&D character I ever had...Who just happened to be a paladin! Surprise, Surprise!! The "Sir" looked pretty cool, and I didn't want to be as pretentious as Moeken and put "Lord" in front of it!!! :D :D ;)

Mine is a congloneration of Dragon names in a book done by Anne McCaffery and Mercedes Lacky titled Elvenbane.

I liked Tasselhoff from the DragenLance books
so i just rewrited the name a little and voila! Tasohan Duurham

just sence we are on the topic usernames I think alot of you got to agree with me that one of the coolest usernames is septic yogurt. So if you are reading this septic yogurt "sweet name".

Yep cool name. Weird avatar though what is it?

Harton Maldir is a name I've used in P&P and LARP; it just came out of nowhere, but I think it's a good name - simple, but with no obvious origin.

I sat down thinking of a cool name. I looked in a Black Metal magazine and saw that the singer in Dimmu Borgir´s name is Shagroth (or Shagrath).
I didn´t want to use the same name, so I thought out something that sounded pretty much like it! :)

And that´s the story of Zaragoth - Your lord and master, who you must obey unless you buy me a toothpicker.

ehh. bye.

It looks a guy of somesort. In a way it kinda looks like a ice cream man wich I think is kinda funny considering his name septic yogurt.

If I remember correctly Llandon is the name of an Elf fighter from one of the old "chose you're own adventure" D&D novels from the early 80's.

Mine is pretty obvious...

Why do I feel like I alread answered this question? I think there was a thread simular flooting around before, oh well.

Voltric is the name of a character I played in a fantasy LARP during college. After five years 'Voltric' was the second strongest cleric in the land. I enjoyed playing the character but final retired him when I moved on to other things.

DS is the ultimate kewl villain from Lexx.

When I first got a modem and had to think up a 'username' (I didn't want to use my real name), every name I came up with had been 'taken' and I could only use it if I put lots of numbers after it - like Minerva6005 - so I was getting desperate. I have a bookcase next to my computer. I used to do Old Icelandic at university. There was this book called 'The Fljotsdale Saga'.
Funny thing - nobody else used it! :rolleyes:
So I stuck with it. It's become as much my own name as my 'real' one, lol!

I took mine from Bladur's Gate.

From a hungarian heroic fantasy serie. Alyr Arkhon is a half elf necromancer. He is cynical and has a morbid humour. "Great" hero...

after the great hobbit hero, u must have heard of him

I just put two words together. I had my real name as username at first, but since everyone else had a "fantasy name" I decided to take one too.

Darien I chose simply because I like the sound of it. Trouble is, like Fljotsdale mentioned, it has already been used a million times. So I tacked on a surname. Noella is the middle name of my youngest daughter, after my Grandmother (who was born on Christmas). Et voila! :)

Can't really explain my name. It was supposed to sound like Avook Dar but after a certain pooch reference i have since discovered that it sounds quite funny that way.

mine isn't fantasy at all.. it's just the title of a book by william gibson... in there, the idoru is a virtual pop star.. she doesn't exist, or does she? Ah sweet philosophy. Anyway, I feel sort of stupid about it not really suiting a bg forum, but it's just more convenient this way, coz this is the nick I use on whatever forum I'm on. I considered using my protagonist's name, but I've never been good with coming up with good ones.. my bg2 swashbuckler halfelf was aegorowon, coz I thought it'd be elvish with something you can't pronounce (I know, I know). Right now I'm playing bg1 with cleric/illusionist gnome Rilebold, which is at least somewhat better methinks, except I get a feeling I stole it form somewhere.

My name is William. Those with whom I am familiar refer to me as Will. I figured that subtlety was the best policy and refrained from using a name like Marquis Torgenbrassna Illithidhysterectomy III, using my ordinary name instead.

My friend and I created an animal called a mollusk. It lived in bushes near hills (allthough the vicious squids which ate mollusks lived there) and hat funny hats and hair behind their ears. They always appeared in large numbers, and if they could get their hands on a hammer, you better not be a squid looking for a meal.

Mollusken it was.

I can tell you i was not on my 5 senses when i wrote " H " but anyway... :D

Darien provided me with a site with all kinds of dnd names, and after rolling the dice I got Azi (Silver), and rath (Arcane), hence my name and avatar.

Ok, I'm *shadow_thief*...posted before and now post again. I had the idea of hell angel but so many people had "angel" that i decided I wanted something different. One of the books I read talked a lot about "the Great Mother Goddess" and shadow I got from shadow thief.

I read a load of David Eddings books and a lot of them have Sparhawk as the main character.
