So I'm thinking about what my nickname should be for when SC2 releases. A lot of the progamer names seem really random (Stork? Luxury? Movie? The fuck?) but something about them gives them a great RTS/starcrafty feel. Do they turn to a random page in their favourite book and take the 54th word as their name? Who knows.
I'm exploring what some English words sound like in Korean. I know the word "dagger" sounds like "bisu" not surprisingly, but I'm having a hard time finding a translator and a quick search of TL revealed about a thousand "help pls rly wat this korean say 2me" threads and not english-into-korean-word-that-i-can-read-aka-not-a-little-symbol-type translator tool. Anyone know how to say "brown" or "quick" in Korean, or can link me to a translator? I'm not looking for the symbol, but the phonetic English alphabet version (like "bisu" is to "dagger").
Whether or not you can tell me those words would be great, so thanks in advance. I'm also curious if anyone knows how or why some progamer names are what they are, and what methods people here use to choose a nickname.

quick: p'ali
brown: galsaeg
Try google translate for more romanized korean translations. http://www.google.com/ig
I don't think this thread will be up long

pick whatever.
its an alias for a reason. you can always change it...
mine on TL is based off my name. i shouldnt be hard to guess what my name is.
|
 Movie's actual Korean name means "movie", afaik.
|
I'm a MGS fanboy, hence my handle.
Alot of the Korean ID's came from a period where every one was making one word English ID's and it became fashionable to do so. e.g. Nada, Reach, Yellow, January, Autumn, July. Progamers like themarine and neo_g_soulkey are the exception rather than the rule.
|
nada isn't an english word
and neo.g_soulkey is a relatively new player
|
I think "Paper" is a great name.

Nada in Korean means "It's me", I'm relatively sure that's how it came into being.

Hit the box for "show romanization" Oh wow, I had no idea that feature existed. Thanks!
Mykill - Michael. Nice 
are u looking for sth that sounds good in korean and english? Yeah exactly. Bisu is an amazing name in English and it's not even a word...
|
well, I open the dictionary then look for a word, if it aint cool enough I'll go look for an anagram of it.
|
Jorge w. Bosh is an awesome name too! :D

Your play will make your name awesome, not the other way around.

Just take one from one of day9's casts.
For example: apparently rekrul once got knocked out of wcg by the fearsome monkey_balls.

lol so you want your opponent's to think you're a cool hip young korean RTS pro with a dashing sense of aliases?
Brown - "GalSsaek"
Quick - "Bballi"

Guemchi:
his full ID is actually Sea.GuemChi, which basically reads like the korean word for spinach (see gumchi)
