Spoon Thumb Caldari Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.17 13:14:00 - [31] Best nicknames are given not made up by their owner. As was the case with mine Though Cipher8 prolly won't go a miss. There is always the dictionary method. Pick a random dictionary (medical dictionary for lols) and pick a random page and a random word Or try to think something that'll fit with your character, his role. If you're roleplaying per-se then more realistic, less serious, the more ridiculous the better Or you could name him after your pet. My family named our cat Erwin after Erwin Schrodinger's cat Khaldari khanidpublic: RP channel for Kingdom loyalists Recruiting
Brainless Bimbo	Posted - 2008.02.17 14:07:00 - [32] Edited by: Brainless Bimbo on 17/02/2008 14:15:56 wysiwyg nah, i have always used brainless and bimbo as names for my online characters since 2000, along with bozo, ashsa and hennep (my favorite plant). brainless was taken so i merged the two, it gives an impression of shallow stupidity and also generates a smirk on the odd occasion

000Hunter000 Gallente Missiles 'R' Us	Posted - 2008.02.17 19:40:00 - [54] Well about 4 years ago (come april) i got this mail with an offer for a 2 week free trial of eve (apparently at some point i had signed myself up for the beta but never thought about it after that) I knew a few people that were playing other mmogs so i though, wth, lets give it a try and see if it's really that great. So i downloaded the client, and went into the character creation part, and seeing how i was lazy and never expected to play beyond the 2 week trial i came up with my current name (Hunter has been my handle on many other games but originates from a game called Mechcommander) So here i am almost 4 years later, regretting the day i came up with my name, but even if ccp would give me the opportunity to change it, i'm not sure i would, i'm too used to it now. But theres a lesson to be learned here boyz and girlz! don't be lazy CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!!

Karma Eve University	Posted - 2008.02.17 19:45:00 - [56] hmmm... well, I'm somewhat laid-back as a person. but as the saying goes: beware the fury of a patient man. and I wanted a name that reflected that ;) plus.. I don't like Piracy, or pirates... so I hoped a career as a concord-officer, or atleast a bounty hunter wouldn't be completely out of the picture.. so to speak. plus it has an added benefit of giving some superstitious pirates pause as well ;) there are times it'll backfire though.

Niccolo Duku Caldari TREASON.	Posted - 2008.02.17 22:19:00 - [59] I usually name myself after historical figures. Niccolo is Machiavelli's first name. Simple as that. My RL name is Roland (go figure on historical names). I've tried using it in games, but it's really weird when people call me by my RL name in a game. I don't know why, it just is. I guess it destroys that "escape" thing MMO's offer. My most common internet name is Felix Fritz. I love Felix the cat and Fritz comes from playing too many WWII shooters, and hearing DIE FRITZ! every 3 minutes. Kinda stupid, but I enjoy it. Other names I use: Aurelius (stay tuned for my alt, Aurelius Duku) Marcus Dahakon (not historical, just a cool name I use in other MMO's) and that's about all the babbliung.... God bless vicodin
NightCrawler 85 Phoibe Enterprises The Fifth Race	Posted - 2008.02.17 22:35:00 - [60] got mine when i was about 17...a real life friend started calling me nightcrawler (NC to make it simple)when we lived at school...i had a bad habbit sneaking out during the night to smoke and just walk around hiding from night guards;) people started to call me nc in real life and it just sort of became...my name and what i prefered to be called,both in real life and in games.
