His actually not muslim, he just admires the Muslims like Muhammad Ali and others.

just said it "not muslim" wow and lol

you dont actually believe that story do you.
How young did he have to be to think all muslims are boxers, especially in the light of all the british muslim tensions that have arisen in the last couple of years.
I'm suprised he has stuck with that name for this long.

When NonY was just a little Protoss he saved all his pocketmoney because his dream was to see the statue of liberty. But his big Protoss dad wasn't fond of the travel so he took aaaaaall the money from little Nony and spend it on booze.

Since that terrible day the little sad protoss is called No-NY

How did Day9 get his name?

I was watching a daily the other day when my girlfriend strolled up and curiously watched a little bit of it with me. She asked how he picked Day9; I told her I didn't know.



[9] was his old clan and he wanted to choose a short cool name. I think night was taken or something like that so he chose day.


It was actually he was originally Day, and i think his friend or brother was like Night, if it was his brother, he obviously changed it to Tasteless. But i know he used to admire the clan [9] and he always wanted to be in it. Then he realized he could just put it in his name. He eventually joined the clan

I know I'm bumping a very old thread here, but I ran across something I had to ask about and I remembered there were a couple of threads on this and I figure it's better to bump since this is not thread worthy by itself. (though it is confusing/awesome)

Anyway is Losira named after the Star Trek character of the same name? This is really bugging me, there's no information in either liquipedia about his name. I've tried googling this and surprisingly cannot find anyone who has brought up this link before.

Does anyone know for sure? Am I the only one who thinks this is completely awesome?

You pronounce 'Nony' as Knew_knee. If you watch one of his FP BW commentaries on YT that's how he prononces it

Lol.

Dear Losira,

Are you named after the commander of a super secret military outpost whose commander configured a defense computer that almost killed Kirk right before her entire race was wiped out by a deadly plauge a few thousand years ago? It was in a cheesy 1960s American Sci Fi show.
Thanks.

First post. \o/

Anyway, about white-ra, I do believe it's because he likes the colour white, and Ra was the sun god for the ancient egyptians or something similar.

I have to ask this though. As a swede I've reacted to something about ThorZaIN's nick. Because if you take away the capital letters, the word "hora" is left, which in swedish plain and simple mean "whore". No trolling. Does anyone know more about this? Is it even intentional? It's been boggling my mind for so long, but I've never know where to ask, nor how to google it. ^^

Thank god for this necro. I read on liquipedia he retired the name because of mispronunciation issues so I've been scared to say it out loud haha.
