Iansidious is on a distinguished road
Default What is the etymology of your moniker?

I thought this topic would be fun. So, speak my friends!

The purpose is for anyone to tell the story of how you came up with your screen name for the forums. Also, some of you have ones I have no idea how to pronounce so you can even tell us that! Enjoy y'all ! Looks like I will have to go first.


Iansidious

I came up with this name just before I came to these forums. I wanted to sign up on the offical Star Wars web-site, in order to download things and get newsletters etc.
The whole time I could not find a nickname that has not been already taken( I tried to stick with a Star Wars themed name)! So, I came up with a system. Take a Star Wars character and the actor of the character and combined the two too make a nickname. I came up with a few misses, but not for long. I took the first name of Ian McDiarmid(sidious/palpatine) and stick it with sidious. I had it! Ian+sidious makes Iansidious! I liked it. So I used it and I ended up using it here. Thats my story. What is yours?
