Mine is a . . . variation/combination of a couple of dragon names.
I had used it before, but seemed especially apropriate for Tyranids -- and an account largely associated with them.

I'm named after the character of X-Files that was the secret information contact for Mulder, one of the two main characters of the show. I just now made my avatar a picture of him. It was previously a Battle Sister.

Locclo is a major character from the fiction that I write. In my stories, he's the supreme ruler of the angelic kingdom of Reokei (Not at all religious). I was trying to think of a name one day, and I had just written the chapter that he is introduced in, so...the name kinda stuck. I also go by Captain Blackblade on other forums, which is the name of a major Magic: the Gathering character. I just added the 'captain' because I thought it sounded cooler.

My first day in counter strike, I decided to just call myself bub. I also decided that the knife was the funnest weapon. 3 hours alter, 60 kills, 15 deaths Im named a crazy mofo with a knife ^_^. I like machetes so put 2 and 2 together and WUbam! My name. The letter thing was to make it unique and hard to spell/hack.

From the film Evil Dead II it was the name given to the Book of the Dead. Originally used as Natorum DeMontum in a D&D campaign run by a friend of mine and shortened to Natorum as a name for my general online persona thereafter.

Back in high school I could never be bothered writing my whole name on anything, as I was the only person in the year with my initials this wasn't an issue and people started calling me MK.

After a while some body said "Hey you could be like Eminem only Emmkay!" this back before I discovered proper music.

It kinda stuck and its my usual name on any internet based stuffs.

In contrast, I am in love with a quite real brunette so I didn't choose Rico because we have many similarities...

Mine is the first name from the half-elf gambler I had to make to replace my first one (the reason for replacement was I played a lizardman called quetzacoatl and the mods decided nobody was allowed a real-life name for thier char) when I played the play-by-post RPG The Allerian Empire (however left after a few months as the pomposity was over-whelming!), the zero is there because I like the number, and the underscore is just because...

Stuck with the handle because I needed an email address and grabbed that as my real name (richard jones) is too common and therefore taken, and its stuck with me ever since

When I was an 11-C for the Army, the unit I served in was Foxtrot "Phoenix" Company, and my roster number was 135 (35th member of the 1st platoon). I led 4th squad, but I figured 3 numbers was enough to my name without adding 135-4th or something silly.

It's a few things that made up my name. I love 'Blackadder goes forth'....When General Melchett came out with the 'I wouldn't lick a German if he was glazed in honey'line.
And CoD 3 nailed it for me,when the SAS team infiltrated Northern France, and the OC came out with the words:
'.... And then we'll give Jerry a damned good kicking'
And the Scottish Corporal said,
'Aye Sir, I can't wait to bash the bosh'



'....and we'll give those frenchies a damn good licking'
'It's the germans Sir'
'WHAT'
'Its the germans we should be licking Sir'
'DON'T BE REVOLTING DARLING, I wouldn't lick a german if he was glazed in honey!'
