View Full Version : How did you come up with your name?
I had a lady at work being mean because I was the only women on the loading crew one day asked what the "Z" on my shirt stood for...big zero?...I said naw, it stands for ZENA , I am traveling incognito!! So I stopped into the local pub after work to have a cold one, super busy for a Monday and only one bartender, a large lady able to handle most anything. Some weird guy, started trying to beat on one of the 70 year old patrons. Nipper ask him to leave and he gave her a shove. I never could let anyone I know get hurt, so I got inbetween him and the old guy so Nipper could call the law. Usually, I can talk any one down out of a fight or bad mood however this ol' boy thought he ought to take a swing at a man with a cane and knee brace. I grabbed his arm and a leg tossed him to the ground like a calf in a roping contest. He tryed to hit me , so I put him in a head lock pinned him to the ground until the cops came to take him away. The cops let him go with a warning , three times he came back and tryed to beat on one of the handicapped customers , three times I had to wrestle hi to the ground until the cops finally took him to detox. I have been XENA every since. :whip :D I have always got into more messes protecting the underdog, than anything else, but hey someone has to do it. :D All the guys at the bar sat around and watched the free show, one of them asked a guy I worked with if they should maybe help, He just sipped his beer and said if I needed help I would yell but it looked like I had the situation handled pretty well . I really think they were talking bets on if this 5'4" spitfire would get her but kicked, but it was a Monday night and not much else to do anyhow

Your user name. I got mine because I thought Gomer was funny and that sexy LuAnne was delicious. Since I'm a guy I chose Gomer and not LuAnne,haha

In college I once wore a ski hat that said "Solstice" on the brim. We must have been drunk because my roomates thought it was hilarious to call me by that name. And it kinda' stuck. I don't really like it.

"Viper" was taken, so I just stuck an "oni" at the end.
And no, I wasn't thinking of "Macaroni" at the time!!!!!!!!
The Wraithlord

I came up with mine for the sequel to the gold box Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds. I had been using Ironsflame for a long time, and I wanted something new. I always thought that wraiths were cool monsters, and more so, that it was a cool word. Kinda felt like it needed more, so I added 'lord' to the end. Wraithlord feels like it is lacking something as well, hence the addition of 'The'. The Wraithlord. Been that ever since. Unfortunately now, people have started accusing me of stealing from either Tolkien or Warhammer 40K. In Lord of the Rings, the final book has the words 'this wraith-lord' and for Warhammer, one of the elite units of the Eldar is apparantly called the Wraithlord.
Ah well, at least I know I was first to have it. :cool:
blade

I got mine because I'm so sharp. :P :lol
I just liked knives and swords and was into collecting them at the time. Sword or knife didn't sound good but blade was ok so I chose that. It had nothing to do with the movie or the game. I had the name first so I'm thinking of suiing.

Mine was my duke nukem moniker, mainly because I never backed (I did not even have a backup button)up from a fight I dove straight ahead (dying many times in the process).
