SeraKuDA

Saw it somewhere spelt, "saracuda". It kind of always struck me as a cool sounding word. So when I did my stint on WoW, to not be a complete thief I spelt it "SeraKuDA". It's just carried over since then.

I got it back in High School as a "breakdancing/graffiti" alias. I used to listen to Twista all the time; 'Overdosed' in particular.
My friends then thought it would be necessary to call me "Odie" so I carried the name "Odie" throughout everything.
These 2 guys I was on a team with (mainly a botting team back on West) were Solo and Nega; had their own website NegaNetworkz and SoloNetworkz I then went with OdieNetworkz.. when I was done with the whole 'botting' scene, I joined a team and obviously "OdieNetworkz" was too long, so I cut it in half and went with "Odien".

I wanted to be a little clever and capitalize only the letters "O" "D" and "N" which sounds out my alias --> ODieN.

Mine is fairly simple. When I joined a football (soccer) club here I wore a French football jersey to training. France = Frog. That was the nickname that stuck when I played there. The Sox part comes from my liking and supporting the Boston Red Sox.

BluePotion -> The most expensive Potion in Ragnarok Online (during that time).
During RO era, I'm making money by collecting blue herbs and then using it to create Blue Potion.
Then, I just parked my char around the guild castle entrance with this sign: "S>BluePot @8000z" Less than 5 minutes, Sold Out:D

I believe it was 6 years ago..
I was active on this dutch forum(solarsoft), They had forum-comic thing going on.
The goal of the comic was to add the forum members as character to the comic or something like that. My forum name wasn't really fit for it, so I created a rp name based of my irl name. Which is how rederoin was created(my irl name is Ramon).
What is this I don't even

Ig/Iglol/Ig420

Original WoW character name Ignigena, people couldn't pronounce it so they just called me Ig. I added the "lol" in WoW because I trolled trade channel all the time, the 420 was an inside joke in my guild where 69 and 420 were the best numbers.

Well one time I was trying to make up a name online, nothing serious just a quick fake name.

So I thought of random fiction characters and the first one to come to mind was, Igor, the Mad Scientist's Assistant

So I got into thinking about assistants and I thought of Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes assistant

So the name I came up with was Igor Watson, the MadDetective's assistant.

I just thought MadDetective had an awesome sound to it so I stuck with it.

When I was younger I was obsessed with 2 things, Red Dwarf and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

In the fluff surrounding Arnold Rimmer, he wrote "I am a fish" 500 times in the spacecore astro navigation exam. Hence fish

42 is the meaning of life the universe and everything. Also the book called so-long and thanks for all the fish played a part.

This gave me fish42, which was misread on another forum as fish for two. This just stuck with me and has been used ever since.
Along with this many years after adopting the fish42 I found that if you take a=1 b=2 ect the total value of fish is 42. This made me stupidly happy. This is all over the course of 15 years or so.
wait..............................what?

InvXXVII

27 is the number of my favorite hockey player Alex Kovalev (and yes i wear 27 on my hockey team too). Inv stands for Invictus, my clan.

It would be nice if some people could post the stories behind the pro players' names too.

Lyrlian

My wow account Lyrlia got hacked and wasn't able to be restored. Start new account with Lyrlian!

Lyrlia comes from Lyra who is a character in "the golden compass" which is a (children's)book series/movie. She's pretty cool! But Lyra was already taken. So I was forced to add some extra letters. Becoming Lyrlia (female blood elf paladin in WoW). Now I still use this Nickname for SC2...kinda weird since it's female. I'm trying not to think of it too much. Don't tell my co-casters about this xD

The first MMORPG I played was Dark Age Of Camelot (DAOC Site)

I played it for a bit, just messing about then the first expansion came out and I made a necromancer, used the in game name generator and it came up with Adwodon and I really liked it.

Kinda just stuck with it, it shortens nice to Adwo, easy to remember, easy to pronounce and ambiguous in its origins to not be associated with one game type (ie not too fantasy or sci fi sounding).

my nickname is a french expression it means ," its pee time" ! Cause when i was downloading sc2 on my old wooden pc , my pc shows me a error message every 5 second and i need to press the skip button to keep the download working ! And of course in this critical moment i needed to pee , so i just have waited 1 hours to complete the download ! Pause pipi = break for peeing and i play on word because pause means "break" and pose means " position" ! So i decided to take this nickname to remember how painful this moment was but now can tell you that DAMN it worths it

Zaranth is the name of one of the dragons of Pern from Anne McCaffrey's sci-fi series. She's in the book "The Skies of Pern." In these novels the color of the dragons rates how intelligent they are. Zaranth is a green dragon, low on the totem pole (rank is Gold/Bronze, Brown, Green, Blue). Most greens are just there to fight Thread and not much else. However, Zaranth is unique because not only does she have a female rider, but she figures out how to move things with telekinesis (dragons can use telepathy and teleportation but up to this point not telekinesis). So she becomes basically the first green dragon to teach anything to the larger and more powerful bronze and gold dragons.

I picked this name because a) I'm a female b) I'm a noobie, thus an underdog, and c) I hope that I can figure out a really awesome way to play the game and maybe even teach the pros a thing or two. As a side note, I think it would make an awesome logo ... a large golden Z with a green dragon curling around it ... if only I was handy with graphics and design tools.


This=awesome!

I loved the Pern books growing up, and that's an amazing name conceptualization.

Anachronistic means "taken out of the proper time and place". Basically my name means strife, war, chaos, etc. in neither the right time nor the place. I made it around the time I was looking for a more permanent ID, and it sounded pretty cool back then. Also, it's fitting because I never play something that doesn't have some form of death and combat in it.
