How did you choose your forum/account name?

ssorgatem

It's been with me for most of my life now. Just my default online alias.

DieAlteHexe

Because it's descriptive.

It's a name I have used for some years now.

I used to use Turel (from Legacy of Kain) but found it was always in use so wanted something a little different. I was watching Angel at that time and one of the episodes where he goes bad comes up and I noticed his name was just Angel with a "us" added when he was evil Angel.

Did it with Turel to make Turelus and used it ever since. It gets taken from time to time (not sure whether coincidence, spite or copy-cat) so then I fall back on ADTurelus (twitter) as ADT are my initials.

So you are evil Turel now!

Mines an old gamer tag, my other doesn't usually make it through the profanity filter

Violynne

The homonym is Violynne.

I play female characters who carry this name, as well as the nickname "Jinxed", because she always finds herself in the right place at the wrong time, generally being bugged by people to do things for them.

As a special bonus: this also explains my gamertag.

ANGEL_BtVS

TelvanniWizard

Don't need to explain

KingofAnnwn

Mines just a twist on an alias I use elsewhere (Arawn) from Middle Welsh mythology, Annwn was the otherworld/paradise and ruled by Arawn. Don't use it for my gamertag though

Checkmath

i made a word game. i chose the word checkmate to show how "OP" i am and defeat everyone and mixed that word with my name....somehow only the last letter changed, but i liked it. but in the end everybody laughs about it and read it as "check math"...i am damn good at math and those *** dont need to tell me, when i already calculated everything.

Jade1986

Its my name and my birthday, lol.

mwo1480

mwo-M.w.o. - michaël williëm overfield. the name of my second personality/the voice in my head that i had since i was 11 (23 now and he is still a fun guy, little bit sadistic tho) , the 1480 is my birthyear

I was very interested in the Divine Comedy as in Dante's inferno etc.. But using the name Dante is a Dime a dozen these days.. So i had to think of something no one else had.. I liked Yoda from Star Wars and well i linked the two..

NordSwordnBoard

My main's race + a passive. (Capt. Obvious)

It was my second choice because we had to offer up more than one name when joining. My first choice was ScruffyDangler.

After a while I stopped using lore friendly names for characters in lieu of humorous ones. Thus, Scruffy Dangler, the short, pot bellied, wild-haired, hermit beard ice magwarden was born into mediocrity.

Aliyavana

I always liked the name ali and I tend to play female chars (But eso is different as I chose male as my main.) So I chose the feminine name aliya and added vanna because I like it when names end in ah sound

TequilaFire

Been my PSN for years.

Nermy

My FPS name was MadErnie after a character in a book by a local author.

Used an anagram of that when I started playing LotRO - Nermaide.

People started calling me Nermy.

Name stuck.

Fleshreaper

Played an undead rogue for years with this name, it was so fitting back then. Brought it over to ESO so old friends could find me.

Ley

Made up the name Leyloth, based on Tolkien's elvish dictionary 15+ years ago, while participating in an online RP community. Started making variations of names that started with Ley. Been using Ley as a base for my gamer names ever since.

Tabbycat

I took my inspiration from cats.

JamieAubrey

Its my real name, my @ DRaGoN_KoBRa - My old Xbox gamertag, I wanted something cool sounding and to do with animals, and wanted a Hybrid of 2, So I chose a Dragon and a King Cobra and then went crazy with the way it looks
