I was asked this question earlier today. I've been going by the name of Freddy since 2003, despite my name actually being Brian.
When I first registered at EasyUO I thought that EA might be tracking people by their usernames - I was only 13 at the time...naive
I was watching Freddy vs Jason (horrible movie btw, hot actress) and just sorta borrowed freddy from Freddy. I have a few other names that I go by, but freddy has been my main name for anything involving UO. I want to change it, but I have no idea what to change it to and people already know me as freddy.
So, how did you come up with your name?
-
Simple.... same as here. Beer.
-
same deal. i didnt want to make my character name my user name so i went with cake at easy uo. over time lost the id and was unable to retrieve it and made a new on based of my c2 name that was cake2 shortened by TM ... short and sweet
-
Indiana Jones took his nickname from his dog - so did I
(I have always had a gimlet - when my pups pass on i get a new one and name it gimlet)
-
I like this name that I post under just because it's dirty :P But the "Timbo Slice" name I use when submitting my scripts is a nickname I got at work, as a couple people were talking about MMA and Kimbo Slice when I walked by, and given that I am the most non-threatening and probably whitest guy there (at least at the time), the name somehow just stuck.
-
Cerveza forced me at gunpoint to come up with a name, and TrailMyx was the best I could do at the time. I think I was watching TV at the time and a stupid trailmix commercial was on. It's kinda funny now that you do a websearch on TrailMyx and all the hits you get now for what was at one point a moment of lacking inspiration....

I still have that originally siggy I made for ya. TMs 30 second siggy!!

12 Times Over was a band that used to open up for my band from time to time. I ended up using XIIxOveR for another, unrelated "forum" and that grew to being my online presence here.

I still have that somewhere... I rather enjoyed its simple format!
-
Hrmmm....tough one I'm going to need a minute or two...
UO has always just been Ultima to me. Didn't matter if it was Ultima III-VII or UO...it's still just Ultima! Richard Garriott the sell out! Shame on him....
The other alias I use from time to time is Infinite Dreams which is from the Iron Maiden song. One of my favorite all time Maiden songs of their from the Seventh Son Album.
I was contemplating on getting a name change here to Infinite Dreams.
-
Hate to be a spoil sport... but to be honest i don't remember..i don't even use it as a name on UO.
-
I just had to input something, and I was feeling Twinkle McNugget, so, um yea. :(

I quit uo for a bit, and when I came back joined back up with some old friends but didn't want everyone else to know who I was, so for some reason I decided to call myself cake for a few months, this was quite some time ago though.

Cake and Burgers sounds like a party!!
-
Lets see... Man Whores Inc......... How Can I describe how the name originated and still keep it PG. Something to do with Watching the game play itself while you _____ with ______ is just more fun :)

I am a big Matrix fan and named all my characters of one account after a character from the movie. When I played UO using my brothers house to get started, I met a guy in game with the black modified orc bows. He described them to me and how they worked. That was the first time I came across the word superslayer. I always thought that if the Wachowski brothers (sister) made another matrix movie, SuperSlayer would be a good character name! Of course the character would be a bad guy and crack/exploit the system. I adopted the name for my UO exploitations and kept it for all UO related stuff outside of my alter-ego on the stratics forums where I play nicely and make cash by being a trusted trader and member of the Rares community.
Matrix 4 & 5 possibility! (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/jan/24/matrix-4-keanu-reeves-wachowski)
-
I chose my name because I've always liked horses. A tarpan is an extinct subspecies of wild horse. They were small and stocky and scrubby and a plain gray brown color - in short, nothing special. Kinda like me, hah! People usually think I misspelled tarpon (a type of large fish) though.
-
I chose my name because I have always loved flowers and,... No, that's not it.
My name is Paul. I named my first character Paulonius. I don't like having a disconnect between what I do and who I am. If EA decides to stop me from playing their game because of that, then I don't give a *bleep*.
-
I have 2 names...Maddog on the boards (UO at the beginning just because I use the game's name to keep track)...I got the nickname in elementary school for playing basketball. They said when I played defense, I was all over people like a mad dog, so the name has kind of stuck ever since.
Orion (my original main character's name) is from the constellation Orion. I became interested in the constellation after watching Men In Black and they talked about Orion's belt (the row of stars that make up the constellation's waist)
-
i just simply spelled my name backwards retnuh=hunter
-
That would make me Dnalra (Cool)!
-

My buddy Bob tried that, didn't like it. His wife Hannah gave it a try too... she stuck with it.
-
yeah kinda interested all my and my buds xbox live names are our names front then back like hunterretnuh and tylerrelyt. just kinda interested to see what kinda names you come up with
-
My original and still main character is Orko. When I started I decided to play a mage and being that I sucked it seemed appropriate. Any of the old farts should reconize that name :) It was a name I also used when I started playing D & D and watched cartoons a long long long time ago.
When factions started I use to roll with +R+ but did not have a lot of playing time so needed a simple template that could still have fun so I made a Vanq spear wielding dexxor. It was a mindless character to play so I named him Lugnut

"By the power of Greyskull!!!"

"By the power of Greyskull!!!"
I guess that puts you in the old fart category :)

You're just jealous your cartoons weren't half as cool as ours.
-
Battle Cat - yea!
-
Star Blazers. :)

That was a solid reference. I didn't even realize it until TM threw down the power words...
Speed Racer - (Same two mountains over and over...)
HR Puff n Stuff -(Have you seen this recently? Liar's Club in Chicago plays it after 2AM. Live action creepiness)
Flintstones - completely unchanged
Deputy Dog & Ricochet Rabbit - Bing, bing, bing!
Jinxy the Cat "I'm going to make mince meat outta that mouse..."
Felix the Cat (the wonderful wonderful cat, whenever Felix needs a fix... A fix? Really?)
Mighty Mouse - Classic
Underdog (I still know the theme song, but I liked the mouse better)
Yogi Bear (Never really did it for me)
Gulliver's travels (came on during the Monkeys was awesome - Glum: "We'll never make it" )
Bullwinkle - Boris and Natasha were the best villians in cartoons
Jetsons - I think Ray Romano got all of his material from this show...
When Thundar came along it was the coolest thing I ever saw. Somehow the Smurfs were cool too.
-
And don't forget the best of all! Old school Bugs Bunny back when violence was allowed.
-
My name here is actually my porn name ;D
I wasn't sure about this site at the time, so I was keeping it way seperate from my other names, yes I am paranoid (or so my shrink says)
My ingame name (which I won't go into) for those that know me, stems from a disagreement one day on how to do something. A little friendly bantering back and forth and a nickname was born (it has to do w/ me playing w/ rockets, bombs and nuclear devices in the USAF)
-
Who wants to guess where my name comes from?

I got mine from the days when I used to play Command and Conquer: Red Alert the original from way back online when we just had 14.4 as the fastests modems. I was trying to pick me a game name and everything I could think of was already taken so. I said I am going to make a massacre of everyone i play. So I changed my name around a tad and come up with Masscre' which was not taken and bam 15 years later I am still using the same name. I have in the past also gone by Code Slicer.
-
Gawd, I loved Red Alert!
-
Red alert was the bomb. I have been waiting for someone to transfer it over to the PPC format so I could play it on my HTC.
-
on the rts note did anyone like starcraft 2 cause i wasnt a huge fan
-
Well my name has changed many times.. My first name was Nevine... because that was my main char.. THen it became Mr. Snow (which i came up with the name one day after it was snowing.. and i wanted to start a char that was a mage, wearing all white, riding a white horse...and so i started to PvP and it stuck... after that i turned over to Tidus.. and that was because of PvP... but my main main name will always be ruaduck and that stemmed from a presentation i went to about paths chosen in life.
-
Lets see ive been known by many names through the years but curentley I go by Wyat Earp and Outlaw Josey Wales came up with the name watching tv at the time i was playing uo. I know not orriginal but hey it works plus I always liked how much of smart A@# Josey Wales and Wyat Earp were
