Full Version: where'd you get your name?
| QUOTE (Sahandrian) |
| Sahandrian was my first SR character, a street sam turned face turned decker. I got the name from D&D - the sword of Corellon Larethian, god of elves (the character is an elf). Although, I think I'd have used something different had I seen the picture of Larethian beforehand... |
I think there was a picture in one of the books in which he looked much better - the illustration showing how Gruumsh (sp?) lost his eye to that sword.
Mine came from my early days on mIRC (DalNet to be exact)
I wanted a minimalist nick name, and at the time I was tall, slim and somewhat built from working in a duct plant, using the manual machine and outperforming the automated one.
I have been told I looked Russian, so I chose Nikoli.
Been using it ever since, IRC (though there is a female Nikoli on another portion of IRC which confused a lot of people at times), and it's basically the moniker I use in my personal life. The majority of my friends only know me as Nikoli (or Nik).
If you ever went to the Chamber in Atlanta, I'm that Nikoli.

Mine's a pun (not a very good one mind you).
It's norwegian and the first word means psychotically the second word could either mean arrogant or superior.
And as an added bonus it's a long and inpronouncable name for most foreigners, but nevertheless gets recognized because of the length.

My group happens to watch a lot of Anime (it's how we met), and magical girls are long since a fixture in our viewing. Now, Magical Girl Pretty Matt (Matt is my real first name) became something of an in-joke between us all, based on some really bad writing I did when I was bored, casting us all as a particular stereotype. It's sort of spiraled out of control over the past few months, and I summon forth my alter ego much like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes would summon forth Spaceman Spiff. Disturbing and strange, I realize, but so are most jokes amongst my friends. 
Your handle was the one I always wondered about. Glad to bring closure to that in a humorous way, and not what I thought it meant. LOL.
For those that speak Spanish, you already know, for everyone else. It means "I hate you".
Figured I'd chime in again seeing as the name changed.
Seeing as I was useing the company's name I figured I should change it so I did.
Made this one up was trying for something that sounded unique but also hopefulle some what cool sounding.

This one got given to me a while back, I changed the spelling cuz I spell Karl not Carl (I'm a little white guy, not a big black dude) and it stuck, not sure why, (although the 'hawk, combats and the fact that I drive a battlewaon may have had something to do with it)
