[1]
I've been thinking for a few days, how on earth did people come up with their Eve nicks?
I'll go first:
I came up with my nickname because I always played as Masta Killa in Wu-Tang Shaolin Style when I was a kid 
Used it in a little game called Graal Online first, then it got stuck to me for the past 7 years or so.

Del Narveux is a character Ive used in various creative writings, short stories etc. that Ive had to do for classes over the years. When I started playin Eve back in 2004 I didnt know jack about how MMOGs worked and was on a trial so figured Id pick an 'expendable' name other than my main internet nym in case I screwed things up.
Bogus is said internet nym, but that was taken so I went with Cpt Bogus instead for my combat alt (made like 5 months after I started b/c I got bored flying across the galaxy to build stuff or blow stuff up). Dunno why I started with Bogus, I guess it just seemed like a good choice for the online world where everyone tries to pretend theyre someone theyre not.  _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

My real Internet handle is "TimeOut", I used it since 1999.
Background: I played Starcraft on Battle.net those days. My internet (stupid ISDN) was very unstable. Every second game I timed out. 
In MMOGs I choose more RP-oriented names. Usually along the lines of: Lanea, Lynea, Lynae, Ysira, Velina for female characters. (Disclaimer: Not all those characters are mine ) ___

my name was a random neuron firing in my brain when i was writing fiction a year ago for my English coursework studies. I liked the name so i first used it on 'There' as Johnathon 'Admiral' Desoto, then again on 'Entropia Universe', but when i got fed up of being screwed around by 'Mindark' (The Creaters of 'Entropia Universe'), i switched to 'EVE Online' and used the same name, except i dumped the admiral part.

When I was a young bloke, and played my first Internet game (Star Trek Elite Force), I took the name of a bird - "Hawk". Later, that name seemed to be used more often, so I changed it to 'H4wk' for the Battlefield series.
Then I came to EvE.... and reversed 'H4wk'. 'Kw4h' was born :D

When I first started playing freespace 2 online I used to use the alias Wildfire, however when I tried playing other games it was always taken so I started trying to come up with a new one. I was playing tie fighter and fighting a squadron designated Rho and somehow Wild Rho came to mind, I liked the sound of it and have used it in any online game I play since.

Originally by: Masta Killa Used it in a little game called Graal Online first, then it got stuck to me for the past 7 years or so.
Oddly enough, that was where I got my name from too. Actually I had the name Solaris, which I changed to Dark Black when I decided that being good in online games was for noobs and I wanted to be an evil PvPer. I think dark black was related to the equivalent of sec status in Graal - your name changed colour depending on how ebil you were. Dark red was the lowest (I think) and my guild at the time had an injoke that we'd be so evil we'd get a dark black security rating (hilarious, I know).
Thus the name. I changed it to italian when I came to EVE to have a more roleplayerey name.

Just before I tried EVE, I downloaded "Second Life". You could pick any first name, but the last name had to be from a list. One of those was Paster. After creating "Chunky Paster" I tried my hand at EVE. The name was fresh in my mind, so Randy Paster was born. Also, I wanted a somewhat real name, 'cause "1337pwnzersupreme" doesn't really work for me.....

My general nickname i use in all other games & boards for many years is Precursors, but unfortunately Eve doesn't allow me to use my nick in the game 
The Precursors are a vanished, ancient, superintelligent race from the Star Control games. They are known to have gained sentience before almost any race and further than all, including the Chenjesu or the Ur-Quan, and then vanished without a clue, presumed to have gone either to "some better place" or become extinct. They didn't clean up after themselves and their various, hyper-advanced artifacts (including the Ultron and the Sa-Matra) have been pivotal in the fates of the younger races. Precursor installations have been discovered in various quadrants of the universe, often with functioning equipment inside still intact, and it is one such installation which begets the beginning of the story of Star Control II, becoming activated by a group of Earthling scientists and assuming its role of creating a Precursor starship on the planet Unzervalt (also known as Vela II).
In Star Control 2, it is implied that the Precursors had assembled a series of sensor-defying "Rainbow Worlds" and used them to point the direction in which they had left.
In Star Control 3 it is revealed that to protect themselves from the Eternal Ones, a race that inefficiently consumed the energy of all sentient beings once an eon, the Precursors genetically modified themselves to mentally resemble the intelligence of a cow. They created mindless robots (the Daktaklakpak) to reverse the process after the Eternal Ones left. They also left huge caches of their technologies on planets in hopes other races could find how to defeat the Eternal Ones. During the last feeding, their robots malfunctioned, leaving them stranded at that intelligence level for thousands of years. Humans, forever searching for the Precursors but oblivious to their plight, along with many other races found the meat of the Precursors, called by them Ortogs (a 6 legged cow), more delicious than cow, and hence raised, domesticated, and consumed them in massive quantities. The process was able to be temporarily reversed on a single Precursor, giving this knowledge to a captain before it died, and though said to keep it a secret that the Ortogs were the Precursors, to stop the races from consuming the Ortogs.

I don't remember why I picked that name, but I do know its source:
In the Bible, Nachshon, son of Aminadav, was the leader of the tribe of Judah. I remember his name well because when I was translating that section for Bible class (I go to a Jewish high school) I discovered that 'Nachshon' means 'vanguard' - and when the Jews headed into Canaan, the tribe of Judah was the vanguard. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

I adopted it for that game and have use it ever since.

That one also has quite an amusing image - there's a ghostly skull in the flames, not to mention someone surfing (and I think there are some people in a canoe )
You really need a bigger image than that one to see the detail, though.
As for me, I was reading When We Were Orphans a few months before I started playing EVE, and the name seemed fairly fitting. He's British-Japanese; I'm British. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking |

In FPS games I use "iCantAim." Why? If I do bad, no one insults me because I admitted I suck, and if I do good, they get the honor of being killed by a noob who can't aim.

My name from the only other MMO I'd ever seriously played didn't fit into this genre (superheroes may go into space once in a while, but they rarely live there) and I was stumped for a name. So I google for sci-fi name generators and stumbled on a klingon translator. Ran my real name through, removed the weird punctuation and Larg Kellein was born.

Usually, I use my common nickname Crabby which has been mine since 3rd grade. But hence it didn't sound right in EVE, I used another word I have come across on wikipedia.
In some article on magic, which I studied whilst i was playing wow (just for the sake of it ), there were a reference to a latin term, now extinct of course: Sortiario; he who change/affects fate. I have been looking ever since for that article with the reference, googled it and such, but i haven't found it yet.

Interesting... come to think of it, I name my ships in the same sort of way he does.
But about my name: I'd just put together a name for a character in Sid Meier's Pirates! when I was choosing my EVE name, and I'd ended up with 'Marcellus Rhodes'. I'd been trying to get a name that sounded a little archaic and a little buccaneer, and I just took off the Latin-sounding 'us' and recycled it.

I was using the nickname 'AerO//' when I played BF2, because I prefered flying over anything else, and I was playing BF2 in the time I started playing EVE. The 089 is derived from 1989, my year of birth, as 'Aero' was abviusly taken ;)

Dowd as a pooka. The character Mr. Wilson reads the definition of pooka from the encyclopedia: "P-O-O-K-A. Pooka. From old Celtic mythology, a fairy spirit in animal form, always very large. The pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one. A benign but mischievous creature. Very fond of rumpots, *****pots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?"

Due twice misunderstanding the mechanics.
Made a proper character spending some time to come up with decent name. A few days after figure one can make free trial-hauler alt, hastily giving him a random crap name.
Realise that the trial alt has more a lot SPs, and better ships available, so keep playing him instead. And when I eventually figured high charisma is not that good for pure gunman, it was too late.

First name came from some geneology work I'd been doing, and for some reason "Gladia" just wouldn't get out of my mind when I started this account. The "Horusthu" was from me trying to find a Gallente-sounding surname without looking at lists of agents.
I have had a long string of characters, and all of them have been rooted largely in the mixed up linguistics of New Eden.

hehe because i was lazy 
It's a 3 part deal, firstly Hunter has been my nick for a lot of games, it comes from the game Mechcommander, where one of the pilots is called Hunter, everytime he gets a kill he says 'i AM the Hunter' I thought that was kinda cool so i stuck with it.
I also like mythological figures, and one of them is called 'Herne the Hunter' (from Robin Hood) so this in combination with the char from mechcommander gave me my nick.
3rd, when i started playing eve i didn't expect to play beyond the free 2 week trial so i was too lazy to come up with a decent name cuz i thought i wouldn't play for long anyways.. how wrong i was... 3+ years later and here i am.. a st00pid name and very hard to go unnoticed as most of the time it is the first name in any local list and trust me, this is not always a good thing.
And no, i'm not that egotistical that i did this on purpose, had i known i would still be playing 3 years later i would have definitly chosen another name.

Tanstaafl is an acronym my favorite author, Robert Heinlein, coined and it means "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"... I've always tried to use it as my character's name, but somebody already had it. So I used it as a last name, and just picked a first name out of a book I was reading at the time "Elantris"...
I also have an alt who uses the Tanstaafl as a family name, and her first name is chosen from The Dragon Riders of Pern... her name is Lessa Tanstaafl...

Satan, not good for female character, Satana sounds a bit female-ish but still not eve-ish enough. Santana, where did i hear of Santana before, nevermind i change one letter, Sentana ... Santena ... Santane. Let's go with Sentana, but it still sounds manly when i want a nice sweet name, let's try Setana ... Senta ... Sentyna. Setana sounds ok. Let's make is a 2 part name, so what other ? I throw my eyes around the room, Traxdata - sounds weird, cup with Milan on it - no ideeas here, my hand hurts, i could modify Hand and use it as such. Sounds weird anything i come up with. Hand is Mana in romanian, i heard it is Mano in italian - not sure though. Setana Mano sounds ok-ish but still not ok. Lets make it Setana Manoro.

Either works for me, my first alt was called William Beaujeu, the grand master of the knights Templar at the time the french king and the pope betrayed them in order to get their grubby hands on the gold (suposedly).

I think I warped the name "Kyra Nerris" around to come up with "Kery Ny'Sell", but I can't really remember that (the original character was created somewhere in 2002, late at night, after a couple of beers before the game).

I wanted to have a female character though, and tried to think of what a futuristic counterpart of Napoleon would be like. I thought of a sophisticated person, and Jacqueline was one the more appealing names in the "common first name's in French."
Also I can make an interesting story in the future about my character by using Bonaparte as the last name. Lastly, I inherited pwnage by having Napoleon's last name :P /sarcasm.

ummmm i reprogrammed a furby« to say"my name is the devil i have come to take your soul ..... thank you please come again" in Latin, dyed its fur red and made its arms fail about while its eyes rolled around so. after that i was known as demonfurby and seeing as furby is copyrighted i changed it to ie so i couldn't be sued.

I use 2 aliases on the internet. If it's anything fantasy/medieval then I'm Pathos.
If it's anything futuristic/sci-fi then I'm some form of Neutron. I've been using that since the golden days of Quake 1.
I originally got it from a Monty Python sketch about a character called "Mr. Neutron."

I wanted to choose elite, in honor of the game EVE bases on, but it was taken, so I just typed it in leetish. In hindsight, it wasn't the most original idea ever, but I'm now stuck with it..

I wanted something that did not sound ordinary, and yet was easy to pronounce. Salah El-Din is a common name in the middle east, but when written with the aglicization Saladin it refers to someone so many respect and regard as their hero.
I don't think I will ever pick this name again in another MMO. Hindsight is 20/20, and I realized I should not name an avatar after someone I admire so much. I can sometimes act stupid, or be the object of smack, and that would only bring disrespect to the name. ----

I used to play UT a lot on clanbase 5-6 yrs ago and always had peeps hassling me and griefing me 'cos I used to telefrag em so much. So me and a mate started fakenicking for a bit of peace and quiet. We chose a couple of female names only my pants typing at the time created the DD typo which kinda stuck.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "In the wake of DDaisy's Megathron"
