What's the origin of your name?
Mine started back with diablo 2, was trying to come up with a name for my amazon and my friend said, what's your favorite soda? Pretty much went from there

Hehe...cool. You can guess where I got mine. I've used it on irc as long as irc has been around. I was (and still am) a big fan of Ozzy back in high school.

Several ideas were all squished together in mine. When I signed up I hadn't expected to post very much..... yea go fiugure... anyhow I wanted a number at the end like in EQ "a gnoll03" I liked Babalyon 5, so 5 it was. Not to mention "down below" in B5 had some obscure analogy to newsgroup lurkers.
I know WAY too much though went into a simple little nick

I've had mine for 2 years now I think ... Sangdrax is a character from the 'Death Gate' fantasy book series, namely an evil lizard/dragon.

I really dont know... I think it was a stream of conciousness type thing.. I was sitting around the office looking through the boards, decided to register, and just popped it out...
Putting thought into a nickname was too much work.. I let my fingers do the walking..

Well my orginal nick was AirRik but too many people on IRC where giving me a bad wrap so I changed it to TheClaus which is basically part of my last name with THE and the beginning.

Starcraft. The clan's name(Blizzard clan, it was protoss, after you finish the 1 player missions, the enemy would always be a clan, ya know? Not an online one... ghey...) was 'Furinax' with an 'a'. Mine is 'Furinex' with an 'e'. Later on I found out that 'Furinex', my name, means torment and sarrow, So I stuck with it.

My nick has it's roots in the Latin language.
It means "Murderer." Which goes with accordance to the type of characters I enjoy playing- I.E.: Extremely evil and malevolent beings with a vicious temprament, ready to pillage and maim everything in it's path. I picked Latin just because it's a dead language and many people wouldn't be able to understand.

Good ol` D&D
Nick was originally Mindstorm
but then the freaks at Lego stole it!
:o
So I changed it but needed a name for the wife also....hence
Arcalyn <----> Nylacra
They were supposed to be twins in D&D one a wizard the other a cleric.
Simply reversed the spelling.

Ive had mine for about... 7-8 years now, started it when I played Quake on Team Fortress. I used it as the figment of your imagination which ended up later being a MIB thing :P But it was the fact that I spent way too much time at the game, and not to be cocky, but I was good at it. So I picked the name because they never could get me :P
