What does your name/avatar mean?

Sorjak · 13th June 2008, 07:13

This sprung out of my wanting to know what the hell traceur's avatar pic is, but whatever.

My name comes from me wanting a completely original name, and it began as Sorjak The Destroyer. The avatar originated from me wanting Sorjak The Destroyer to have an avatar that was the exact opposite of the name, thus a cute bunny. Sorjak is apparently a town in Eastern Europe, though, and the bunny probably makes people take me less seriously, but oh well

.

I know the name's still rather original because most of the first page results from a google search of sorjak are about me.

Post yours!

In Swedish Trä means wood, and by replacing the 3
(3 spelled out in swedish is tre) in Mp3 with trä.
It's a swedish pun(and i made it up), and my avatar is a wooden mp3(kinda) =)

OMGPIE · 13th June 2008, 19:17

Well my name is well...OMG...PIE! and my avatar is a BA half-orc.

no-one · 13th June 2008, 21:47

means nothing.

Sebastian Persson · 13th June 2008, 23:07

PigBear == English for the word "GrisBjörn" from Lotta på Bråkmakargatan, the most awesome character ever.

her "pig/bear" that she got on the bike there, that's the one.

The Last Spartan · 14th June 2008, 00:29

This name means nothing but my other handle (Panderai) is Latin for Balance. Well, it's tweaked a bit.

Anyway, I'll be called God's Mage in game so..

G.I. Joe · 14th June 2008, 02:10

my name means a solidarity of right in war time for the world. Common man brings hope to those who wish and can not do it themselves. The Ava is in ur face and there is no exception even behind a keyboard. I will always want a face to face rather than keyboard warriors that talk crap and can't back it up...(symbolic if anything). Cause I guarantee it that................... if we meet face to face you would talk a whole lot differently

Siegfried · 14th June 2008, 08:14

Siegfried is the name of a character I used in Roleplay, I figured it'd be a fitting name. Mostly because I hate most forum "Pen Names", and I couldn't think of a more fitting one.

The avatar means nothing, its just a place holder until I find something better. That and its rumored to change to "I see a pedo." when one reads the thread, though I'm fairly sure thats not true.

Shawk · 14th June 2008, 14:38

kelthazan · 14th June 2008, 15:27

Mrs. Cakes · 15th June 2008, 08:12

I like cake.

Ava is Pi... (pronounced~ Pie)

golani79 · 15th June 2008, 11:03

I stayed half a year at the golan heights for the United Nations as a peacekeeper.
When I came back home everyone of my friends just called me golani - added my year of birth and voila - ready was my nick.

Lina · 15th June 2008, 12:01

Well.. My name IRL is Lina

And my avatar is a Fantasy horse/dragon creature couse I adore them

Miss_Lovlie · 15th June 2008, 16:52

I'm not married so I'm a Miss and my last name is Lovlie...Nothing fun about me, my name or my avatar. It's a goldfish cracker. My cousin used to eat them when I was an au pair in Colorado, and I think they're cute but not so tasty.

rick · 15th June 2008, 17:11

my name is rick.

+1 post.

The Kookyboy · 15th June 2008, 18:11

Ive had the name about a decade, I used it during my E-Fed Days (Online wrestling Roleplaying Games) just kept it cause it fits my manner and demeanor towards things.

My avatar is Kuriyama from Battle Royale. We have alot in common. Im a bad ass, he's a bad ass. He kicks ass and Loots players gear, I too kick some ass and loot gear.

Plus he has cool hair just like me!

Traceur · 15th June 2008, 20:12

my RL name is... actually known by a couple of people here who've known me long enough. for the rest - a mystery

my nick though you'll probably get if you know some french, and you can google to find out if you don't. i didn't know that their was an actual traceurs community in Israel when i came up with it, so it was more symbolic at the time. now though i've seeing on youtube people do that on a park 10 minutes from my block, so i hope to 'run into them' accidently and maybe learn a few tricks

(don't worry, you'll get it after you google)

Lyllyth · 15th June 2008, 20:42

Lyllyth, I find more aesthetically pleasing than "Lilith", but my reasons for the name can be found here.

Drakus · 17th June 2008, 06:21

Although it's a fairly popular name, I've been using the name Drakus for several years now.

Heliopios · 17th June 2008, 15:34

I'm a fan of nearly unpronounceable names.

Bjen · 17th June 2008, 16:20

I find my name..common. so I added something. plus, I pronounce it more like bain than been. And it relates to a eh...story Im working on..oh shush the mocking!
Sounds cool to me...

my avatar..is jsut awesome. I found it somewhere..and it reminded of a certain wanderer, so Ive decided to keep it. Also, its an amazing sculpture, and me being the art nerd I am, foamed at the mouth all over it.

Reclusiarch · 17th June 2008, 18:48

My Avatar is a Terminator from the miniatures game Warhammer 40k. Reclusiarch is a kind of a superhuman warrior priest in the same universe.

DragonMyth · 17th June 2008, 21:57

Dragon Mythology and im currently looking for an avatar.

Edit: just got an avatar of a metallic looking Dragon wisly looking at my posts.

Apollo · 18th June 2008, 22:50

Apollo, you know.. the Sun God? Well that is because I like fire and I figure the God of Sun and Fire was a good safe bet so here I am. The pic is a rendition of Apollo and he looks kinda fierce so... he is me

rejekt · 18th June 2008, 23:39

My brother came up with rejekt on another forum that we posted on, and since I am very unoriginal when it comes to names (all of my IM names revolve around my last name, first initial, and possibly with my graduation year.

Thus I stole it and bought the domain to go with it. Though I'm far too lazy to do anything with the domian right now.

The avatar is just a shrunken version of some cool image I found somewhere and I'm too lazy to make my own av/sig. My current sig is a little PHP script that I really like how it reads and also produces an infinite loop that's fun to watch. Not so good on the servers CPU though. :x

Lyllyth · 19th June 2008, 00:43

Sadly, I can't use animated images for an Avatar... But this is what I normally use. It's a clipped portion from a Luis Royo painting, I then animated the blinking.

Necromantic · 19th June 2008, 01:55

My name isn't that hard to understand.

And I came up with the no animated ava problem, too. Else I would have one of my old selfmade UO sprite animations up there.

So why not just un-animate the pic and use it as your avatar? It's a good enough pic.

As for me.. Well, I wrote a fantasy short story when I was about 12-13 yrs old and Arxon Havenloft was the main character. In the story he was a Human Knight that carried a sword, but was also proficient with a bow and arrow. As time has passed I've thought of him as more of a Dwarf. With the same proficiency with a sword but using an Two-Handed Double Axe as his main tool of destruction. The bow and arrow idea is pretty much gone now and since the beginning I've also given Arxon some Metal Shaping Blacksmith abilities. It's remained to be rather rare even to this day 13 years later.. The only copy that I am aware of is a company that opened a few years ago under the name of arXon. I don't know much about the company but it hasn't interfered with my gaming as of yet so I think I am ok with it. A lot of people want to pronounce Arxon as [Arx-ON], however it's actually pronounced [Arx-IN].

The avatar is just a cropped character out of the Teaser that we got. I was going to use it in my sig and didn't, but I didn't want to waste the image so I'm using it for now as my avatar.
