Well, I started out as Taenbanan (which means "have a banana" and is a quote from swedish version of The Jungle Book) when I started playing computer games on the internet. When I started WoW I felt that I wanted a more "name-ish" nick so I started thinking. As the great math dork I was and is, I started out rearranging letters from famous mathematicians and thought Leibniz reversed was pretty cool.

Read a comic about Lobo the Czarnian, so I used that as my nickname. Then at my first LAN Lobo was taken on mIRC, and just adding 2 at the end wasn't enough. So I added 2me which meant it had double meaning, both Lobo to me and Lobotomy.

In the Quake 2 compo at the end of the LAN I went back to Lobo, but some other people chose Lobo2me and Lobo2you as their nicks :D

My nick's history is rather long, as I change different parts of it every so often for various reasons.

It all started in 1999, I went to a summer camp and was pretty much promptly name Mouse mostly because I looked a whole lot like Matt Doran at the time and had a lot of mannerisms similar to mice. So I decided it wasn't the worst thing to be called and kept the name.

In around 2001ish I go and start my lengthy browser-based online game walkabout, which I will spare everyone the really long details, mostly because I can't remember half of it. I go and find OH NOES! I can't just use Mouse anymore, I need to get more creative, so being a logical 11-year-old I go and stick my birthday at the end. You might wonder why I'm talking about Mouse, when my name is clearly Malorolam... Be Patient.

A few years pass, I'm moving between various 4 number suffixes to avoid name takings and decide Mouse doesn't really represent me anymore, and being the standard sociopathic teenager, I decided I like Mal, which is the Latin root for bad or evil. So I went with Mal and a number for a while.

Now we are getting to later years, where I've moved on to the more pretentious MMOs that don't allow numbers in names, but wanting to keep my naming scheme with Mal at the front, started sticking random roots behind it. After running out of roots I like I started putting random syllables behind Mal, but keeping with my secondary naming scheme that my name needs to be pronounceable.

And now we are at the SC2 beta, where not wanting to use my standard names and seeing the nifty identifier system, I devised a name out of thin air or Mal.orolam. Feeling clever about having a palindrome for a name, I've decided to keep it, although being the dumbass I am, went with just Mal after the last wipe. But Malorolam shall rise again to IT drop you! And punish lack of detection!

So yeah, this is the history of my name.
I think that the term "hard counter" should only refer to kitchen counters.

So many things involve in mine, I will try my best to explain.
First of all it was a wicked time with my best buddies when we were thinking about a clan/team that would kicks some serious ass. We wanted to rock and the rock becomes roxx.
We reverse it and the XXoR was born. The leader was instantly found : RoXXoR. We all loved the symmetry and the insinuation of this ID.
Nobody was allowed to take this ID, the legend shall remain a mystery . The rule for picking your ID was to have only 2 letters before the XXoR as in RoXXoR. First I was SuXXoR but a friend wanted this one too. I had a really hard time finding one since you can make so many funny ID with those rules : MiXXoR, FuXXoR, LuXXoR, BoXXoR, etc...
So atfer countless tries I become KaXXoR.
The Ka is :
- because I live in a very small island in the Caribbean Sea, and Ka looks way more fancy than Ca to me.
- because Kaka is one of my favorite soccer player. (oh god the german commentator in PES3 were so funny when pronouncing it :D).
- because caca means shit in french .
- because phonetically K and Ca sound the same in french.

So now that you know the truth : Fear the XXoR Team !!! xD
It's just different and that's where the fun part is, acknowledging the differences without judging.

My story isn't that interesting. Being the Blizzard fanboy that I am, I picked up WoW when it first came out in 04 (lol i know). I had a guildie who was the most helpful person on the planet named Ducksauce. He was also an amazing player and I learned a lot from him. He eventually stopped playing and disappeared. I kind of miss him now =(, he was my best e-friend. My last name is Rai so in honor of the great Ducksauce I decided to go with Raisauce.

Hehehe, my name is the most original name in the history of this planet. I'm serious!

So my real name is Ken Wong, and I had this friend in my Grade 10 foods class who always called me Kenneth Wongo, so I took off the ends that weren't part of my real name "Neth, O" and added them together. Then I decided I really liked Pandas and to make it a bit more original, I made it Pando, then added the other part = Pandonetho, (pronounced Pando Neetho). I tried searching up the name on google and found all results relating to my accounts and stuff on varying sites.

To anyone's surprise, my ID isn't actually from The Matrix. When I was like 5 years younger, I used to watch Yugioh a lot and there was a real cool-looking one called Neos, so I just decided to use that as my ID.

When I was 8 or 9 I made the ID darkknight500 on battle.net. Somehow someone got a hold of my account and changed the password. I used the silent K from knight and added it to a weird spelling of nighttime. time is spelled tym in the korean group 1tym. I substituted in a y into the first part of my name and thus I got knyttym.

Back in 2004 I was under a diferent alias, but in 2007 I changed my main race to Zerg. When you make units from larva, it was called an egg, so when I was in biology class, I thought why not a better way to call an egg a zygote. Since Zerg was my main race i made it z and then zygote zZygote.

Too bad I switched over to Random, but heck theres a 33.3% chance of me getting Zerg!

My name definitely comes from my favorite RPG game being FF6. By which my friends just started calling me Setzer because I loved the game so much! Now they either call me Eric or Setzer. I don't know why i didn't just pick that name for TL, but Legendary is the name I went by in War2 and WoW. When I played WC3 for a few months I also went by Legendary .

I just got Legend because my friend who taught me how to play Warcraft 2 was named Legacy, for some reason I thought I'd like to compliment his name (I was like 11, lol), then it just stuck.

I retired my old Identity and just started playing games again after about a two year hiatus due to work, socializing, a female (they always ruin things!) and everything in between before I came back to Brood War, and now SC2.

I had no hope of returning to the skill level I left off in Brood War after all the alcohol abuse, so I figured a fresh start was in order with a new name too. I went by bEEp for awhile, but I wasn't happy with it even though the identifier .boop was amazingly rainbowtastic.... Or robotastic, I just wasn't liking it.

After a reset I decided I needed a fresh name. I settled on "Juseyo" but because I always pronounced it "jew-sAy-yoh" which lead to many laughs with my friends when I was trying to show off how cool I was learning Korean all by myself. Unfortunately, my linguistic knowledge never impressed them as they were all born and raised in South Korea until high-school time when they came to Canada... So needless to say, I was their muse for awhile especially with my anti-help learning style. When it was time to go to the World Cup however, I was ready for our lovely trip without too much assistance in the speaking department, and that always impressed them.

Now that we're all scattered due to following our own paths saying "Juseyo" gives me a little bit of nostalgia as the brain floods with memories of the people I was closest with for my teenage years... And who gave me the best memories I could ask for.

Even writing that out brought some good memories back that I thought were long forgotten, and a hankering for some "spicy squid". ^^;;

When I was 13-14 I played in the WoW open beta, and using the random name generator, it gave me "Falcynn". I thought it was such a cool name that I started using it everywhere, even almost five years later.

Edit: Although because it's still in the random name database in WoW, I constantly meet people who think I'm from their WoW server, even though I stopped playing like 3 years ago.

would mollaman have been more accurate?
몰라맨 instead of 모라맨 or 몰아맨 lol

it would have satisfied your 8 letters for an even number of letters too.
