Why did you choose your name on Silkroad?
Black Mamba is the codename for Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill, it's also a deadly viper snake, all of the villains were named after venomous snakes.
And my other character King Tsarkon was the main bad guy in an old RPG, Sword Of Vermillion.
Yeah I like the villainous ppl lol

by XiJiouKan
XiJiouKan was my first and only original name that I've ever used. I came up with it after I decided to join Xian. Back then, I thought each server each had a different race on them. Xian = China, Troy = Rome/Europe, and Aege = The middle east. Later on, I found out that all the games were the same on all servers, and the name stuck.
I've used other names in the past. Others like
Mizukage (My Favorite

Wonderful

by Moogie
Moogie is something I've used for 4 years. For 2 years previous to that, it was Moogle. 2 years previous, it was Mad_Moogle (my screenname for Yahoo things).
Obviously, Moogie comes from 'Moogle' as in the cute Final Fantasy things, but it no longer has that meaning.

ASNZern is just my username. Not my character name.....
ASN -> stands from my first name. (I won't tell you that

)
Zern -> It used to be Zero (a guy in Megaman X who use light-saber).........One day I played a new game and incorrectly input the name. (Zero->Zern) But i like it!
In game. I use
Lord Zelthan -> for male char
Lady Areya -> for female char, of course!
Anyway, Zelthan and Areya both are characters from my fiction.

I made up these names myself.

Mad_Moogle? Why would anyone name themselves anything like that.
My name just popped up one day when I started playing XBOX Halo-- I needed a name, I was the resident Canadian... and bam. "Hey Justin, you should be 'Mad Mountie.'"
I also have FriarFrodo on Oasis (my AIM Name, wanted BrotherBilbo, but it was taken.. just went to next logical choice. w00t for me and my alliteration)
Plato on Athens... Why not, eh? lol. Part of ThePhilosophers scheme.
Also have MelloMountie on Xian for Stalling. Part of TheMounties guild scheme...
And finally I also have SuicideBoi on Xian. Just created it one day to be stupid and bug someone (gee, wonder who).

by Ricco
I was messing around with a english->italian translator.
Cuz I wanted a different nick. Before Ricco I was changing my name every week, and im satisfied with Ricco now for over months.
So I put some english word in that translator, all words that came out sucked.
And then I tried 'rich', cuz with that game i played i was rich like hell, and Ricco came out.

Kard is the handle that I've used for a long time, since 1998. It was originally Kardyn, but shortened it to Kardyn. Truth be told... I forgot how I even came up with this name.

been using Geobot for about 4 years or so. my wife and i hosted a DC hub(remember DirectConnect anyone?), and i scripted bots for it. one of the bots i named geobot, since my name is george. geo + bot. anyways, after a while i made another script to mess with people that would allow me to talk as the bot, confusing them for a minute ^^. and i slowly stole my bot's identity. and here i am.

by Caution
I use Atlas and Aim. I chose Atlas because there was supposed to be the Greek God guild in Athens, but it never happened. I came to like Atlas though. Aim was just a random name that was nice for an archer.

by Tohak
I have actually no idea where I picked up Tohak for my char name. I think I just was fiddling letters in my mind when it popped out.
But now went and googled it and found this:
philosophical traditions, i.e. tohak (study of the Way) or ihak (study of principle). Tohak and ihak were terms that had been used for many centuries in East Asian Neo-Confucian culture to refer to its tradition of moral and metaphysical inquiry, traditions that came to be seen by traditional scholars as the East Asian counterpart to Western“philosophy.”To them, tohak or ihak not only included the knowledge of practical matters but also a way of understanding the universe and earth, as well as developing humanity and morality.
That fits nicely to my character

Bakemaster - point of fact. I created this title no more than I created myself in my mother's womb.
Chameleon - I used to play a lot of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: Spearhead. It's a WWII FPS for those who don't know. I started out as "the Jazz" because that's what a friend called me in high school. Then the clan I was in reformed and I decided to change my name to "Chameleon" because it sounded cool and fit with my style of play - which is to find interesting places to hide in plain sight, or to lose a pursuer who is on my trail as though I had run straight up a wall. It works better sometimes in theory than in practice.

Montolio = Badass from hell out of the Dark Elf Trilogy. Anyone here familiar with Drizzt? Eh?

It's been a while since I read those books. I started with the second trilogy (the prequel one) and some years later tried to read the Icewind Dale trilogy, only to be turned off because the writing was just terrible. If I had read the Icewind Dale books back before the others I might not have noticed.
