So :Why did you choose your nickname.Any stories/reasons/feelings connected with it?

Well, I was joining Runescape, and most of my regular nicknames that I do by were taken. So I decided to come up with something original.
Yobor
It is like Conan, or Belit, very simple, yet sumblime.

It infers Manliness, but that is obviously not the case with me :-)

I'm a rather huge Wheel of Time fanatic, and when I played Sierra's Realm (back in the day), I joined a WoT guild.

I played as an Aiel, and chose the name Tai'kara Ayende Kalarin using the Old Tongue dictionary from the series.

It's been my online nick ever since (7 or so years now).

I just wanted to post once and thank the site for providing the game....
Now i got bored of the game and i am stuck with the stupid nick name :ranting:

I learned 'bout Thor Heyerdahl and Kon-Tiki when mr. Heyerdahl died. Read an article 'bout it in the newspaper and it appealed to me so much I looked further into it. Also, out of respect for the voyage and out of almost obsessive interest in it, took the name over when I started out on the net. The more I learn 'bout it, the more I love the name, too :)

If you ask nicely the admins may be able to change you name.


Mine just came about. Scarecrow is usually taken, but Iron Scarecrow is never taken.

There's this wonderful trilogy ot books by an author by the name of John Brosnan. I recommend it to everyone, since it is (in my opinion) an extremely well written story about a future that can actually happen to us. It is science fiction. The books are collectively called "The Sky Lords Trilogy". Well, one of the Sky Lords is named "Pangloth".

I love those books as well! Do you know when the next one is coming out?
I hope Perrin gets Fail back!!!

They never come out fast enough :(

Of course he'll get her back... unless RJ just wants to be a jerk (which could very well be... sigh).

I'm more interested in Mat and the Daughter of the Nine ;)

But this is :ot:

Unfortunately :(

Right.
I have a feeling that the internet is the only place where people can make their own nicknames. Other places people get nicknames by the way they act or what they have done.
