Whence Your Moniker?
 

So, where does your screen name come from? I'd especially like to know about Suicide Junkie! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Whence Your Moniker?
 

My name comes from FFVIII for PSOne. The ship was named that, and I've used the name Ragnarok ever since.

Re: Whence Your Moniker?
 

Actually, I think "Ragnarok" was the Norse term for "doomsday" or "apocalypse" - it goes back much farther than Final Fantasy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Whence Your Moniker?
 

I wanted something unique, but also something that could not be taken seriously/literally.

I thought about it for quite a while, before coming up with SJ.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes you are correct. It does go back farther then FF. But I got the name from FF, and not the Norse term. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif But thanks for pointing that out to me again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Got it while in the Army....
something about lieutenants and map-reading being incompatible http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Whence Your Moniker?
 

I usually go by Phoenixdawn but when I looked around the board I saw that we already had Phoenix-D and didn't want to cause any confusion. So I fell back on an older nym that I use to use. A nodachi is a japanese great sword. I started using it for a character in an rpg and it followed me to the web. The sad part is that in my head Phoenixdawn and Nodachi are two separate people! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Name of ADD&D char I've played forever including on Ultima Online. Also main char in novel I have under construction.

It's my name, silly...

I wasn't feeling creative at the time.

Re: Whence Your Moniker?
 

I started using the name Atrocities back in the days of Diablo. Then it sounded cool for a MP game called Tribes. All in all, I have been using the Name Atrocities, PCP Atrocities, and MS Atrocities for about 8 years now perhaps more.
