[Entity]

<< Mine is an acronym for a previously unpopular editorial comment on the human capacity for self-congratulatory presumption. >>



I can't believe nobody asked. I won't, because I don't need to.

My name? I think it's about the only name that properly sums me up:

Something that exists as a particular and discrete unit.

Rob

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

Monty Python is good.

I'm a Red Wings nut!

[Maetryx]

Maetryx here,

Started out calling myself Matrix in about 1993 or so when i had CompuServe and the email system on campus (I was The Driver before that, ugh!) I read William Gibson's _Neuromancer_, and some _Cyberpunk_ gaming manuals and presumed to take on the name of the whole internet for myself.

Also, my favorite Arnold movie at the time was _Commando_, and Arnold is called Matrix in that movie. I liked it because he rescues his daughter played by Alyssa Milano from some evil Australian terrorist, and I wanted nothing more than to rescue Alyssa Milano from evil Australian terrorists since I was 13 years old or so (when the movie came out in 1984 I was 13).

Then, behold, a grave shift in the universe. A blockbuster movie came out called _The Matrix_ and ruined everything. Everyone was going to think that I came up with my name yesterday instead of keeping the same one for almost a decade.

So I screwed the spelling up as much as I could. I now refer to it as the Grunge Elf spelling of &quot;Matrix&quot; --> &quot;Maetryx&quot;

 

[TomJones]

I love the songs

 

[Basse]

Its kind of a long story. Basse is both a regular man's name and also someone in the military who is very bossy.
Plus it sound very dorky in Swedish so thats probably why I got it. Can't remember why though.

[ArkAoss]

my nick? well my uncle had a kid, and called him nick, and we hung out alot, and now we're bud's...

my handle on the other hand, well I used to hang at an 733t chat room, and noticed people used charecters, and a's in there names to be near the top of the list, so I just compiled the first letters of my middle name, my last initial, and chaoss ensued.

 

[Badbry]

I Got Badbry Because My Name Is Bryan And I Got In Alot Of Trouble With The Law In My Younger Days....

 

[Optimus]

... Prime.

 

[LadyNiniane]

I adopted Niniane as my RPG character name eons ago during my D&amp;D days in college. (AD&amp;D 1st ed., Cleric - never got above 3rd level, though; somehow gaming and music gigs always tended to conflict, and money was always a prime motivator back then.) If you know the Arthurian legends pretty well, you will know where the name came from originally and what its significance is.

Once I began going to RenFaires, it seemed natural to continue with that name. &quot;Lady&quot; was added because my first garb was nobles; these days, depending upon whether I am playing or working at faire, I may be Lady or Mistress (nobles or merchant class). Offsite, everyone knows me as Lady Niniane, regardless of what garb I am wearing.

Lady Niniane

 

[MegalodoN]

I like sharks. Megalodon is a prehistoric badass shark. Hence the name

 

[ratkil]

[wyvrn]

<---------- Name of AD&amp;D flying creature. Dropped the &quot;e&quot; cause I didn't like how it looked.

 

[radiocore]

I listen to music on the radio ALOT. Not as much as I used to...but I basically knew all the songs that played on the stations and one day a friend said that I was radiocore. And I really liked the sound of it, so I've been using it ever since.

 

[MrAnderson]

The Matrix......it has you Neo.
