hey all,
I thought this could be an interresting thread if everyone interrested could explain their user name and maybe what the *** it means.
mine is ''greedo'' because i fell so sorry for him. out of a galaxy so huge, he somehow manages to get within 3 feet within the biggest payday of his life........and messes it up.
Because of his less-than-mediocre bounty hunter skills, he is absent from about 99% of the greasest story on earth.....
cant wait to hear from you guys

I chose "Daverian Skahl" as my Star Wars name a long time ago as it was the main character in a story I was writing entitled, "The Black Sky". I never finished it, don't know if I will now, as most of the ideas I had for the plot I have since discovered in already existing Star Wars novels. If I get the inspiration again I may continue, but in a different direction.
-
I chose "Ilovesanddirt" because I am and will forever will be a Sandtrooper! On the Mepd.net boards, my first boards, I am "Ilovesand&dirt". Unfortunately on these boards i can't use the "&" symbol. So it makes it look like a didn't finish school. :mrgreen:

Cooter Davis is the name of a Mythical Person my father Created while serving as a Drill Sgt During the early 80's. He's the type of guy, that through some miracle accident, some how saves the day.

I'm Ceric. Last name First letter then my first name last. I use it on other boards as well as it was my SW Galaxies game character name.
Furthermore, I have taken the scrambled letters game into my SW Fan Film where my character name is Krace Kril using letters of my name to make it up to make it sound starwarsy.

Zolotkey came from my high school days. I was in the tech support class that fixed the schools computers. Since we were a new school HP gave the school a programming lab that was off the main schools network. It was called the 'Offline Lab' or 'Programming Lab'. We also had another offline lab for graphic design. I started tech support my freshmen year. So I was being tought on how to fix alot. In my sophmore year I was given graces to become a network administrator for the lab, :twisted:. We had 2 teachers who helped the administrator the lab but it was pretty much run by us tech elites. So the main NetAdmin for the graphic design lab was a JR or SR at the time so since I was the underclass men I wasnt able to pick my username. Normally it was just our first name for the admin account. But the guy tried to make up a funny name with my last name. So he made my admin account with the username of Zolotkey. I wasnt to fond of it the first week but after a while I started to like it and I kept it. So from then on I use Zolotkey about everywhere. Funny thing is I have gotten some of my friends who we play Halo 3 on Live and in System Link, to call me Zolotkey by natural. "Nick Zolotkey." Is what they call me. :P

Mine was spawned from me concepting paint job ideas for the speeder bike kit i'm going to make for my little honda 50r motor bike. Thought the shark face would be pretty cool on a speeder bike. And since i was building a scout first, two and two together ;)
(fun thread)

Mine is a nickname given to me on another forum, off the name I use there.. "Turambar."
-
Masterjedi on here because at the time that what my DST homies were calling me.
However, some day, I'd love to have my username changed to grumpydevil, since that's what I am everywhere else. :twisted:

Well...Lord Vader="Sith" and "1299"=December 1999, the year my son was born! He is also a big fan of Star Wars and has trooped as a Jawa. Hope to be back into some trooping now that I'm on my new schedule.
-
Well, my absolute favorite SW character is Qui-Gon, and my name is Fawn, so it just naturally happened that I mixed one and the other. I'm not very imaginative.....but at least people always know who I am. :)
-
You asked for it...
This is the name of the hero character I play in the Star Wars RPG, as well as the primary NPC hero if the team needs a Jedi. I?ve been using this name since I was six or seven, I think, and it has always stuck. I originally began using it because I thought it was cool sounding and now it is a part of me. I use it for my Ren Faire persona, my online name everywhere, and the name of my main character in almost every RPG I take part in. Heck, I?ve been using it for so long that I actually answer to it if someone were to call me by it (how pathetic is that). As for what it means?
Volund was the name of a Paladin in one of the first Dungeon?s and Dragons novels I read as a child. This was a book from first edition.
Starfire was the name of a Transformer. This was one of the most memorable Christmas gifts my Grandmother bought me.
Well, I did some research and found out a little information on my name which I did not know?
There is not much I could find for Starfire beyond a couple of interesting articles and a DC Comics Heroine. The Comic character aside, Starfire was the name given to the fire used by the Annunaki to heal the primitive workers they creates to mine the Abzu. The workers they created were a hybrid of the primate and the Annunaki and were called A.Dam? in effect, they were human. The Starfire was the healing light that was used to restore those who succumbed to injury, illness, or stresses of labor. As my first name is Jason (Greek for Healer), I feel this fits a great deal.
As for Volund, well?
Wayland (also spelled Weyland, Weland; Welent and Watlende, etc.) is a mythical smith-god of the Anglo-Saxon religion brought with the Saxon settlers of Britain. He is synonymous with the Norse/Germanic V?lundr (also spelled Volund)of the V?lundarkvi?a, a poem in the Poetic Edda.
Weyland had two brothers, Egil and Slagfi?r (Slagfid/Slagfinn). In one version of the myth, the three brothers lived with three Valkyries: ?lr?n, Alvitr, and Svanhv?t. After nine years, the Valkyries left their lovers. Egil and Slagfi?r followed, never to return. In another version, Weyland married the swan maiden Herv?r, and they had a son, Heime; Herv?r later left him. In both versions, his love left him with a ring; in the former myth, he forged seven hundred duplicates of this ring.
At a later point in time, he was captured in his sleep by King Nidud in Nerike who ordered him hamstrung and imprisoned on the island of S?varst??. There he was forced to forge items for the king. Weyland's wife's ring was given to the king's daughter, Bodvild. Nidud wore Weyland's sword.
For revenge, Weyland killed the king's sons when they visited him in secret, fashioned goblets from their skulls, jewels from their eyes, and a brooch from their teeth. He sent the goblets to the king, the jewels to the queen and the brooch to the king's daughter. When Bodvild took her ring to him to be mended, he took the ring and seduced her, fathering a son and escaping on wings he made. V?lund made the magic sword Gram (also named Balmung and Nothung) and the magic ring that Thorsten retrieved. Wayland's assistant is Flibbertigibbet.
He is particularly associated with Wayland's Smithy, a burial mound in Oxfordshire. This was named by the Saxons, but the megalithic mound significantly predates them. It is from this association that the superstition came about that a horse left there overnight with a small silver coin (a groat) would be shod by morning.
As my name is Germanic in origin (Ellenburg), I feel it appropriate that I used the Germanic name for my name. I knew not of its origins when I first used it, but after reading the story, I kind of like his style (even if it is a little brutal). But hey, who wouldn?t want to marry a warrior-woman Valkyrie?

Up until my early retirement 2 years ago I was a wildland forest fire fighter. Spend a lot of years, mostly my summers, fighting fire. When I joined I didn't have a nickname, and Scot Thiesmeyer called me that and it stuck.

I started writing a fanfic novel in 2000. I never finished it because the computer is broken. So it sits there collecting dust, probably fragmented by now.
Tavrik Gannon is the Imperial antagonist of the story. He is a commando, an officer, a real mean guy. All the costumes I do are mirrored reflections, or the fleshing out of the characters that I have up in my head.
In fact, if any of you are on the Rebel Legion boards you see that my screen name is Aramys Strael. He is the title character and hero of the fanfic work. He found his way into the rebellion due to some unfortunate circumstances. But he never had any love for the Empire anyway. Tavrik and him were actually friends when Tavrik was inserted into the Rebellion as an Imperial agent. Tavrik trained Aramys in becoming one lethal commando. Later on Aramys discovers that he is a Jedi, much like Corran Horn. Aramys was wounded during an operation set during the events that happened during Shadows of the Empire. It was because of this he couldn't join the commando team on Endor. But because he had piloting skills he flew the space battle instead.
So you can see how I am fleshing out the character with the specific costumes. The Imp officer is supposed to be Tavrik Gannon (although he would be ISB, so it should be the cream colored tunic. That will happen someday) as is the upcoming Storm Commando. Aramys Strael will be the Jedi of the New Republic, Rebel Commander and later New Republic, pilot and commando.
The only costumes that really don't have anything to do with my fanfic stuff would be the CorSec and the Clone when I get them completed. Of course the pilot costume was a fluke. I never really had a desire to do it, until a friend of mine was trying to get it started. When I did the Starlight Parade 2 years ago, I did it wearing my buddy's TIE gear. I told everyone that I was breaking it in for him. I soon caught the bug to get armor myself. Now I troop as the TIE PILOT (when I ever get it put back together and get a new bucket for it). And while I sign my name as Tavrik Gannon, Tav never really was a pilot. I did play the TIE FIGHTER video game and had a character on there named Koba Kull. Perhaps he will make an appearance in some fic later on down the line. It is a bit ironic that my favorite Christmas (when I actually still enjoyed and embraced the holiday) was the year that my step-dad spent his last dine on TIE FIGHTERS for my brother and me. He didn't even have enough money to get us stockings, so he used a pair of his dress socks, instead. But that is what make it extra special to me. It was his sacrifice to give us the best Christmas ever that really made the difference. Who would have thought that 20+ years later his son would become a TIE FIGHTER PILOT???
Sorry for digressing....... but I do have a method to my costuming madness!

Boy I wish I had some thing way more original but I have a bad habit of forgetting logins so I just take the first name and the last name and smash the suckers together, and Fawn thought hers was unimaginative
-

-
Well Christine (Darth Van Tu'Gen) & I spent a whole class period figuring out a good Star Wars name for our class sweatshirts.
Christine figured hers out & helped me with mine.
Za'bet Skott is basically my name, Star Wars-ized.

My screen name used to be my TKID... TK4063. Then I caught the Republic Commando bug, and saw each Commando had a nickname like "Boss", "Fixer", "Scorch", "Fi", "Sev", and so on.... Well, one of my favorite "sayings" when I was an Army Drill Sgt. was, "I'm gonna stomp a mud-hole in your @$$!!" so........... STOMPER was born!
Now I'm know by that moniker on EVERY forum I participate in, and I get referred to as "Stomp", "Stompie", etc. :lol:
-
wow, we must have met because that just gave me flashbacks from my basic training in 1994.
-
you should try his boot and see if it fits :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Well I use to have a differnt name for the Bikerscout boards but they decided to change things around and sadly my former Username had to go.
Being a fan of the old "Batman"Theme and a budding apprentice of the Dark Side the first thing that came to mind was "Sithman"And the rest is history!

I'll throw in my two cents here!
Mara Jade is one of my favorite SW chars, and I've always liked the names for her ships... Jade Sabre, Jade's Fire, Jade's Shadow, etc. (My car is named Jade Shadow btw lol) So when I was getting a new AIM account I tried to do something with her name, and I couldn't, so I ended up playing around with her ship names. (Ended up with Jadesfirered... red hair and all ya know thought it worked) and on most other forums I now use Jadefire or Jadesfire depending on what I am able to get. (And sadly many of my alts on wow now have Jade names... Jadesfire Jadessabre Jadesshadow... which led to Shadestorm btw XD)
I dunno there is my two cents and yes I am alive... I got REALLY sick and then had work... now I am starting to get back into everything. One of my goals tonight is to look for my camera cable so I can finally get the pictures from the tournament up!

Well one day I decided I needed a Star Wars name. A sith Star Wars name. After many days of deep contemplation and isolation, I chose to model my name after Vader's after realizing that Vader and I have so much in common (our names both start with V). So I took some syllables out of my last name and slapped Darth in front.

Scott works for a hospital, he wasn't smart enough to get hired by TSA. You have to be able to tell the difference between a bomb and a "personal massager". :mrgreen:
-
*chuckles mildy* ;)
-
really? I thought is was between a bomb and personal liquids... but i wouldnt know because peanut butter is not allow but playdoh that looks so much like c4 is allowed. :/
-
That's because the peanut butter is harder to get out of the upholstery where a bomb is easier to get out...
Oh, someone call the Max, this thread derailed!
-
yes, I thought this was about names... :wink: :wink: :wink:
-
now it's about names and covering them in peanut butter.... :?
-
Well my nick name I?ve had for about 15 years. My last name is Heffler and one of my friends started calling me hesher which is like slang for Butt Rocker. Then over the years it shortened to HESH. And yes I know that there is a character from Home Star Runner called Hesh. But that isn?t were my nick name came from. :P :P :P :lol:
-
i think slang for butt rocker is far more amusing.
*sketches a TK with mullet and budwiser*

*Stay on Target* :twisted:

Yes please, let's keep to "names?" Thank you......
