exnomendei
Netherlands122 Posts
Despite having studied (well, got it at school) Latin for three years, I butchered it: Theoretically it should be "InNomineDei", since that means In God's Name. I wanted to make it "Out of God's name" because I'm anti-religious, so the Ex is excusable (see what I did there...  ) but the Nomen / Nomine thing it pretty stupid. Then again, ExNomineDei sounds horrible.Anwyay, I think names are made up at the spot a lot for most people, but a lot of people also actively think of a new screen name to pick and just base it on something they think sounds cool or has a nice theme. Pros were normal players once, so they just chose a name and stuck with it. Look at the power rankings: 1. Flash 6. Kal 2. Effort 7. Fantasy 3. Jaedong 8. YoonJoong 4. BaBy 9. Midas 5. Snow 10. Shine[Kal] Flash, Effors, BaBy, Snow, Fantasy and Shine are all just 'cool-sounding English names', especially for Asian people who in general love everything American (I am European btw), the other names are a lot more Korea-centric: Jaedong, YoonJoong, and possibly Kal are probably simple-sounding things that work in Korean well (and just sound awesome in English-speaking countries for the same reason English sounds cool in non-English speaking countries), and Midas, well, that name has popped up in books and tales quite often. Greek mythology is probably the oldest rendition of it, iirc. tl;dr: - Names chosen randomly (DeMuslim, etc.) - Names chosen because they sound cool (Fantasy, Flash, etc.) - Names chosen for a certain theme (TheBigOne, TheLittleOne, etc.) | ||

If I had to take a guess, I would say your name was intended to be pronounced as "New-nie". On June 10 2010 02:04 Liquid`NonY wrote: For Artosis... it's art + the suffix -osis. He was really into arts and crafts when he was young. Actually he still is: when I went to Korea, he asked if I could bring some uncooked macaroni so that he could glue it to papers and make pretty designs. Are you serious? -.- What does the suffix "-osis" add to this? I took you seriously until you mentioned the "pretty designs". | ||

It is impossible to get hold of uncooked macaroni in Korea. -osis means process, so it would mean 'Art process'. | ||
