EPTI'm mostly curious about:
DeMusliM (apparently his original bnet WC3 name was DeMusliMhobo or something t.t)
CauthonLuck
TheLittleOne
White-Ra
Any of these players care to shed some light?
Notable Starcraft 2 player name origins?

Pretty sure there's a thread about it. They signed a tshirt for him with something along the lines of "Even small ones can accomplish big things". This is all IIRC. | ||

So one thing I must know, what's with the ID? Made the nick because it looked cool, and at the time I saw Muslims as boxers such as Muhammad Ali - I was very young, the ladder name stuck - I do plan on changing it, dunno what to - as I have been invited to events with the demand to change it, or excluded entirely because of it. there you go, from British open (tournament) thread | ||

The T-Shirt story is independent from the nickname, however by coincidence it has a striking similarity. It was basically like this, we both shared one account in Supreme Commander at start and as we bought a 2nd copy we thought it would be nice if we had similar nicknames. At start it was TheBigBrother and TheLittleBrother but there was a clan called The Big Brothers already and I wanted to avoid any confusion with them, so we changed it a bit. | ||

So TheBigOne, any plans of moving from Supreme Commander to SC 2: BTL? | ||

Ah, ok - story was just kinda compelling and fitting that I was sure that had to be it. :p | ||

You mean totally independent as in he didn't go by that nickname yet? Because then I know why Nazgul is so good, he can predict the future! TBO and TLO, I like it  One should always pay attention to the acronyms which can be made from your nickname. | ||

"Not Muslim" oooooh it's got the word muslim in it, can't say that! Would any other religion care if his name was DeTHEIRRELIGION? Would anyone at all care? Don't you see how the prohibition of the word causes more issues than the word itself? | ||
