Used it in 2, used it in 3, used it in 4....I'm sensing a pattern.

Vaktor is the Norman word for Guard and is the genesis of my real name.

My parents used to call me Sunni Daze when I was a baby. Now I'm smack dab in the middle of my days.

Mine has been been built over some time, I started out as just Feuer Frei, which is german for Open Fire, seemed appropriate, later I became a reverend of the church of the flying spaghetti monster and felt that having that in there would be nice, thus RevFeuerFrei, the reverend of opening fire.

I chose my name because it is the name of my favorite mech: The deadly red squirrel armed with ultra sharp melee weapons a rocket propelled tail artillery and laser beam emitting eyes.

Well, the Megazord was the most ridiculous crappy looking 'mech like object I could think of at the time. I enjoy turning up on the battlefield like a stinking eyesore, this way very little is expected of me. The trololo was added to further enhance the stink of the name.

Way back in the day, I was tooling around in the D&D Character Generator that came with my 3rd Edition Players Handbook. I decided to play with the Random Name Generator and what came out was "Tsignotchka". Used that for about 7 years in WoW and noticed that everybody kept shortening my name to Tsig, so I went with it.

Tis a simple thing
Scrap is what the enemy mech will be
Hammer is how it'll get that way...

My name is fairly simple.

I'm a Star Wars fantic, I'm from Oklahoma (an Okie) and Merle Haggard wrote "Okie from Muskogee."

Therefore, OkiWan Muskogee.

Shortened version of my usual online handle, started doing it in 2004 with WoW and I still take the name whenever I can. It's usually either taken or too short to use, fortunately I registered really, really fast on this forum.

Anyways it's not a reference to a game or character, or anything.

I'm to old and could care less about silly names. Just use the real one and call it a day.

I was just putzing around and went with something that might get a reaction from people in game.. I don't really like it though.

I was one of those random ones.
the reason of course, was originality. I wanted to make a name for myself instead of contributing to the name of others.

I chose mine, simply for it to stand out. I wanted people to look at my name, and know that its me, not a clone.
Besides have YOU seen anyone with a name a ridiculous as OmegaMinion?
