Yea I'm bored... How did you come up with your profile name? Is it a play off words, a game character, something random, etc? Also do you have any other common names you use when gaming or on other boards? Mine is kind of lame. My real name is Jeffrey, and my mom wanted to spell it Geoffrey (luckily dad didn't let her). Well my friends in high school found out and started calling me Geoffrey, but emphasized it funny (Gee-Oh-Free), and it later got shortened to Geo (Gee-Oh). I used Geo a lot at LAN parties, and it became my 'gaming' name. Geo was already taken I think when I registered, so I added 2004, the year I graduated. Lately I've started using YIsDaRumGone (why is the rum gone?). I like rum, and the rum is always gone! It was also partially influenced by the line from The Pirates of the Caribbean.

"szecs" is a Hungarian priest-like person in the old shaman-culture.
I was reading about the topic those days when I'm registered, and I couldn't come up with better. But I have no idea if it sounds cool or not.

My DotA nick was "fasznindzsa" which means "cock (penis) ninja". Couldn't come up with better.

I was "berenc" in Medal of Honor, which means henchman. I was on the Axis side and was so lame, they labeled me as "Jews' henchman"

BTW I almost started a thread about how lame names are on Gamedev, but I didn't dare.

My name is Josh Petrie.

I never used AIM until 8th grade, came up with this name, and I liked it too much to get rid of it. I've been using it ever since on pretty much any online social application that requires an alias. Mostly because I wouldn't know who people were talking to if I used a different name.

I lived in the woods as a kid and there where a lot of wild flowers. My favorites where Orchids, Daffodils(Jonquilles), Wild Roses and Buttercups. I would rub buttercups on my cheeks to give them a yellow tinge; now I just buy yellow makeup! Sometimes I go by the nick Ranunculus which is the genus thereof and my current IRC nick is PrettyFlower. I use the 'a' instead of the 'er' as Buttacup because I'm quite fond of the last two decades of Hip Hop and Gangsta music and also a lot of sounds that are considered Classic Underground Jazz.

My last user name was HonayBoyz, which was the name of a parody music group my friend and i tried to start in middle school. It was intended to by Hornayboyz but it just stuck without the 'r'.

Needless to say that name was not very professional. So i chose this much more professional one, bzroom, the sound a race car makes when it drives by. :)

My GDNet name is the name of a character which appears on Whiplash!/Fatal Racing when you turn on the destruction mode cheat.

My name is based on something I never do.

Mine comes from a character in Transformers: Beast Wars/Beast Machines.



We've got very similar personalities.

In life I never get what I wanted, even after I worked hard for it. So I'm the fabled fox.

I'm Fable Fox.

When I was a kid I've read 'I'm the cheese',

so I called myself upon the object that represent me - Fable Fox.
