My nick Shinryuu comes from Final Fantasy V/5 .. it's almost hardest boss in the game and it appears from the box.. and the name is "japanese" :) It's cool Creature and i like it a lot
so i choosed Shinryuu to my nick.
Shin = Death
ryuu = Dragon ???
Shinryuu can be Deathdragon.. im not really sure. :/
shinryuu = dragon god. "shin" is not "death".
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster.
I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.
Had to dream up a new nick, as my old one, concieved when we got our second dog, TjaLfE-the-DoGgY, was beginning to ring childish-ly in my ears (go figure), and on the search went.
I eventually settled on MahaTmA, as his work/idea/actions are something to be admired, and his pacifism/silent resentement fits my personality quite well.

Omega (or "omeg" since a while ago, to increase originality) is from Final Fantasy V. I loved that game and decided to use it as my nickname when I joined a forum about Final Fantasy which is now long gone. I decided to never change it.
omeg (preferably fully lowercase) is somewhat a nickname for a nickname, but if you don't count the time since the switch, then I've used Omega for about 6 years.
I remember when I played Civilization and one of the default names for a city was "Mahatma", but I changed it to "TooHotMa" because I thought that was really funny or something!
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude
My nickname is complicated to explain. It originally comes from the same word in Swedish, "Trunkerad". I use the translated variant on most english-speaking sites.
The meaning, or why I chose it, has grown dim with time. Common suggestions include:
1) Something that is put inside a trunk. (If you know Swedish, cmp. arkiv-arkiverad, trunk-trunkerad)
2) Something cut off, without really knowing what it was.
3) Portmanteau for tre-runk-i-rad.
4) Something loosely connected to bottlenose dolphins.
EDIT: Shinryuu's issue had already been answered 100 billion times the time between I started writing this and finally re-remembered the word portmanteau.
hmm.. "Shin De" = Die or something like that
i was wrong. i readed some japanese culture text..
there was "SHIN = God/divinity"
in everyanime they says Shin but they Say Shin De.. if im right now.

Well, for those who has played any F-zero game should know, as my nick comes from that game... Samurai Goroh is the eternal rival of Captain Falcon.
I started using this nick when I joined e-groups (now called, yahoo groups), I wanted to have my nick as Captain Falcon, but it was already taken, so I chose the pilot I used most on F-zero to make records...
Since then, I keep using this nick for almost everything...
um what shall i say about mine...
Trying to make this short and sweet, a name of my first mmorpg character (everquest) and actually level up alot (i reject any previous name because i havent level them up enough, 12 or less in this game) I quited playing him about 2 years ago and move on to different class/race named Durfenity (well nevermind about this one), and stopped playing EQ about a year ago.
my nickname/alias are also seen in couple other forum/mmorpg
and no, i didnt name after Unlimited SaGa character.
Haha.
Well, my nick's a melodic black/gothic metal band that I do like very much.
I don't use this all the time, but I don't play very much online computer games and when I play games like Final Fantasy I always keep the original names. I'm not that much of a computer game guy, I just hang around at the Swedish discussion forums of Fragzone and here at Nesvideos, so I guess that if I'm ever gonna start playing an online game I'll come up with a nickname then. :)
Like gigafrost my name dates back to starcraft. I wanted to come up with a cool name that was actually a word, but of course they are all taken so I used a thesaurus. I must have searched for 'evil' or something because that is what it means.
But now that I think about it my name sucks because no one knows what it means so they probably think it means something like fagicious or something.
I am guessing the word gets its meaning because the root word 'flag' must mean something like a whip in some older language because the word flagellum is like the part of a small organism that is used for movement via a whipping action, and a flag whips in the wind. So flagitious probably got its meaning because people who whip other people are evil. Not exactly the type of evil I was looking for in a name, but it is too late to change my name now :(

Not drunken-rad? I recall I saw that somewhere, but I may have automatically made that association from the Swedish word... Sorry.
Oops. I posted. I suppose I should explain the name Bisqwit, then...
Well, my previous nickname was Proguru. The thought path by which I created _that_ name started from the word "programming", with probably the word "guru" jumbled in.
Later on, I was slightly hinted that the name might be a little too self-confident ("pro guru") and thus appear arrogant, so I had to choose a new one. (Incidentally, that old name is now used by someone else.)
On that particular English class in the school, or maybe on some previous one, I made a stupid pun about biscuits and inventing (in Finnish, both are "keksiä" (in sufficiently conjugated forms)), and thus I was suggested the name Biscuit.
Of course, I didn't like it (but I couldn't think of anything else), so I altered it slightly. So it became Bisqwít. Later, it stabilised into Bisqwit.
This all happened about 10 years ago, so yeah I'm carrying a nickname invented by some teenager (me). *sigh*
The question remains, whether I should hate that teenager for that and whether he deserves it. Probably not… I feel bad even thinking about doing that.And I suppose there's still some part of that teenager inside me that recognizes this as a name that fits for me, defying the impressions.Would be shame if there weren't, actually… Because if there weren't, the mind of that boy would have died for nothing.
The name is pronounced like "bis-quit" or "bisc-wit".
[EDIT 2008-01-04 by Bisqwit: The secrecy has expired.]
So I was right when I thought that your name had something to do with biscuits. XD
Hey, at least it's creative though. Look at how creative my username is. =P

Ok, my turn to create few lines of useless information for humanity to drown in.
A French artist Marc-Antoine Mathieu has created a series of brilliant comics starring Julius Corentin Acquefacques. Aqfaq comes from the Finnish translation. I originally used it as an UFO2000 account, but it soon became my standard online nick. I wish I'd been more creative back then. Sometimes people read it as "Agfag" which is annoying.
