Asimir Kurdugal

[1]
I would like to hear where everyone came up with their names. There's a lot of interesting ones out there and I'm curious.
Personally, anyone who is familiar with D&D or the recent D&D games from Bioware might recognize "Asimir" (pronounced A-sim-ear) as being the name for a race of people who were born of one angelic parent. Basically a half angel, half human.
The Kurdugal part is completely made up. So cmon, share.

Erty is the nick I use everywhere :)
When I was little (6 years or something) I used to just smash the keyboard when I wanted a name for a save or a character in a game and stuff like that.
And...well, once "Erty" came up. And I liked it, so I started to use it.
So from the beginning it's just an "asdf" nick, but now I've used it for so long and I really like it. I would never change nick.
This is my signature. |

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
And since his father Ghengis was named Temujin by birth, I took that, and Destovai is simply made up. Although one could argue that it has close resemblence to the Dostovei pistol, from Goldeneye

From the Isacc Asimov Foundation Series:
A bit of a machiavellian politician type 
Characters:
Hardin, Salvor
(8FE-) First Mayor of Terminus City. Famous for several quotations, including:
* "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
* "It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety."
* "Nothing has to be true, but everything has to sound true."
* "Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right!"
* "A fire-eater must eat fire even if he has to kindle it himself."
* "An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways."
* "To succeed, planning alone is insufficient. One must improvise as well."
* "Only a lie that wasn't ashamed of itself could possibly succeed."
Set up the Priesthood to control the Four Kingdoms and eventually forced them to sign non-aggression treaties with the First Foundation.
Survived two Seldon Crises and was the only person to be in attendance at two appearances of Hari Seldon in the Time Vault.
There ya go

The "rizla" part comes from a Robert Rankin book, however I discovered early in my online gaming that a guy called Rizla ran a large clan so to avoid confusion I modified my nick.
Therefore I'm either adslrizla (FPS games) or agrizla (strategy games) - both of which reflect my prior connections with adslguide.org.uk (I did the "how it works" section a couple of years ago - and I keep meaning to update it).

My character's name is from an archer character I used to play in a few other MMORPG's. I had originally had a character named Archon...short, simple, and to the point. A server side loss in Asheron's Call caused my character to be unselectable so I made another character with almost the same name. It turned out to fit better than the old one, it's now the one I use for my main character in these types of games.

I thought it sounded like a tough name. Plus I never really meant to carry on with this character it just happened that way - Thrak was just an experiment with a fightin' char.

I reread em recently as some new books were added to the series by some other authors David Brin, Gregory Benford and Ben Bova...
Hardin seemed particularly appropriate to my game style :)
I have used it now for about 2 years in several games including Planetarion and Battlefield 1942 (and now EVE)

None of whom are even capable of licking Asimov's boots Ben Bova is OK I guess, but Brin is pedestrian in his novels to say the least.
