What's in YOUR name

[Necron2.0]

When people see my user names, they assume I’m seriously into WH40K. While I do enjoy the game, my online personae actually do not come from the game. I have two standard nicknames that have defined my internet presence for over a decade. The first (and least used) is “god-emperor-of-space-and-time.” The second is “Necron2.0.” Now, I’ve only been into WH40K for a couple years, and prior that I knew nothing of it whatsoever.

My usage of “god-emperor-of-space-and-time” is a reference to Dune. It is also an inside joke between me and some geek friends. I used to work on telecommunication software that involved geostationary satellites (aka GEOSATs) that utilized time-space-time switching algorithms.

I more commonly go by “Necron2.0.” The reason why I go by this here and elsewhere is because “Necron99” is almost universally taken as a login account, as is “Necron” by itself. Both are characters from 70’s and 80’s animated movies by Ralph Bakshi.

So, for those of you with a story behind it, why'd you pick the name you have to represent you to the world?

[Whoop!]

Whoop!Whoop! Is a Juggalo cry, and I am a Juggalo. I know most don't understand the Insane Clown Posse, but I am a big fan. Most people like horror flicks, and ICP is horror-core rap. Cheesy zombie clowns rapping about punishing the wicked, and trying to find Shan Gri La (which is their version of heaven). The mythology that has been created by this band over the last 20 years is awesome. Did I say that those stupid clowns have been selling records for 20 years? Yup, Hows that for staying power in an industry where most rappers last about 6 months.

WHOOP! Where my Juggalos at?

[Connjurus]

It all goes back to the days of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. My favorite unit in that game was the Conjurer. My first name is Connor, and when I started playing Diablo 2, my account name was Connjure.

Fastforward some 13 years and it's Connjurus.

[gwensdad]

uh...this is a Gwen:


I'm her dad (for the past 7 years).

Wow, that was really....boring.


(maybe if I found a picture of her painting something-let her have a go at some grots)

[eldargal]

I've collected Eldar since I was 8, and I'm a girl. People in the games group used to joke that I looked like an Eldar, being tall, thin and, apparently, graceful. Which doesn't prevent me walking into things a lot but I digress.

So, I came to be referred to as Eldar Gal as my gaming nickname, so I adopted it for the interweb.

[MarneusCalgar]

Must explain mine???

Ok, let´s go... It´s for Marneus Calgar, Lord of Ultramarines. I´m very fond of this Chapter, same as Space Wolves.

But Guilliman and Russ are dead or dissapeared, so I chose the actual leader of one of my armies

[Necron2.0]

I'm her dad (for the past 7 years).

Wow, that was really....boring.

As myself being the father of a four year old girl, I'm sure it is anything but.

[Emerald Rose Widow]

Emerald Rose Widow is a name i have used to symbolize myself for a long time and it has a lot of meaning to me.

Lets start with the Widow, or the Black Widow, yes the spider. I use it as a symbol to represent feminine independence and strength, the power of the female personality. That symbol means a lot to me, because i like to think of myself as a strong independent woman, fully able to do things on my own (though i do love the company of others, hehe).

Next the colour emerald green, which is often used as a symbol of growth and life.

Lastly the rose, a symbol of love, the classic symbol of love. That and the flower is just so damned pretty.



Hehe, yeah, it took a long time to evolve to that name, but ive used it ever since for just about everything, hope you like.

[energongoodie]

energon goodies are the sweets, or as you yanks like to say, 'candy' that Hot Rod and Kup offer to the Sharkticons in the 1986 Animated Feature Film Transformers the Movie.
Have been using it for about 11 years. I always figured that it showed I was a big Transformers fan but only to another fan.
Plus I'm super sweet and neon.
