Default Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?

My current nick stems from my Starcraft BattleNet playing days, where my moniker was TerranCadet. After I ditched Starcraft, I got to know Se4, then Se4 gold, then decided to post here on the shrapnel forums. Since I had to choose a nickname, I decided to reuse my B.Net name, but with the Adet in Cadet dropped, for reasons that have now escaped my mind.

Captain Kwok was the name of the protangonist in a silly space game I made back in high school computer class.

Mine's quite simple. "Renegade" due to the fact that I like the word, and it fits me quite well, as I usually don't fit in with mainstream society. "13" is the most obvious part of all, its my favorite (and lucky ) number. Not that I believe in lucky numbers...

Here's an interesting way to play with this thread, do a google search for your name/nick/handle and see if anything interesting shows up.

Cheers!

btw when I do a 'sensitive' search using quotation marks to narrow down the hits I still get 5 pages of stuff and it is all connected to me "David E. Gervais" I guess that makes me 'almost famous'

Yeah, but how many of those pages are linking to the Avatar thread? 4.9 pages?

Eew. That is sort of creepy how much of me is out there in the aether. It gets worse when you use my actual name...Need to start limiting my web presence I think...

Well, a friend of mine called me that before she went to Australia. The name stuck.
My Last GF hated the name and that made it more fun to use it... hehe...
She said it sounded a little bit too dead, like tombstone. A bit strange I guess, because she herself was a fanatic gothic girl. Doesn't make any sense, does it?

Se5a - its a WW1 fighter (or more corectly a fighting scout as they were known back then) no idea why I decided on it, but I have been using it ever since I got the net.
its *usualy* not taken wherever I go and people dont usualy know what it is.
