Quikngruvn · #2 January 16th, 2002, 08:17 PM

Quik is the name of my (recently-departed) cat. When I needed to come up with a username when I joined AOL (I didn't know any better then!), I amalgamated Quik with Fukngruvn, from a bumper sticker that played off of Fahrvergnuegung (probably misspelled). Since AOL had a 10-character limit at the time, I had to get creative with the spelling. Thus, Quikngruvn was born, and I've been using it since. I've yet to see this handle already used when I sign up for something on the internet... except when I've signed up for something already and forgot my password....

My youngest boy (then 8???, now 18) and I started a game together, he choose WARCHILD so I got silly and choose WARDAD.

the name stuck, they did not mess with a save game name that started with WD.

The name is basically unused, except on a financial web site forum.

Mephisto · #4 January 17th, 2002, 01:51 AM

Oh well, [K126] is a clan tag from "Team Fortress" and "Counter Strike". In real life it is the first character of a street were some friends and I used to meet to play RPGs. Second is the actual building number.
Mephisto is from the classic German book "Faust" written by Goethe. Mephisto is kind of a devil, however not really evil. He is the "wag" (my dictionary give these words for "Schalk": rogue, wag, fool). This stuck to me from my high school time. :-)

Really? I had assumed that your name came from the spoo in Babylon 5. Apparently, spoo is a food that is even more nauseating than spam, and only Narns will eat it.

Ruatha · #6 December 17th, 2002, 11:57 AM

I started using Ruatha when I played X-wing 1993(the first in the series - before Tie fighter) and needed to name my player.
It comes from a location in the Pern Novels by Anne McCaffrey (Ruatha Hold).
I liked the little white dragon (Ruth) from the first of the books I read but forgot the name, but Ruatha got stuck in the head.
So far I haven't had any competition for the name.
I started using it Online in a chat community "The Castle" in 1994.

Gryphin · #7 December 18th, 2002, 02:48 AM

Since my father first read mythology to us as children I have wanted a Gryphin as a friend. Most renditions of Gryphins have them as strong, noble creatures that protect the weak.
I chose this spelling because it was the only one available when signing up for a handle somewhere.
