For those of you with "innovative" forum names...
Can't remember how I came up with mine, I think I just read about botulinum toxin and then figured that botox rhymes with fox, hence botoxfox.
Edit: Typo

Tony's my first name and Miro was the name of our cat. The cat btw was called Miro because whilst my wife and I were looking around the Jean Miro Institute in Barcelona I told her that I could see a cat in all of his paintings. We acquired that cat shortly after - or it acquired us more precisely.

In the chorus to Nevermore's "Engines Of Hate", Warrel Dane sings this line.

"I Uncreate, I Desecrate, I spit the truth, into the engines....OF HATE!"

And thats where mine came from, i thought the word Uncreate sounded so awesome, so badass and metal, i came up with "The Uncreator"

Posted by: Owen Dec 5 2007, 07:47 PM

Its my name!

I went by another one a while back - "Orkin", think that was a byproduct of playing too much morrowind 3 years ago.

Posted by: Smells Dec 5 2007, 07:48 PM

was a Medal of honour fan, and just being stupid I called myself Chris`s smellypants, coz when ya kill someone it says sumink like "Tornado was ripped apart by Chris`s Smellypants machine gun" (sad init) I joined a team and it got shortened to Smelly, and then Smells, I pretty much always use it now, friends that I made through Mohaa in this Country when they ring still call me Smells so its just kinda stuck

It's my name.



..ok, it's not I got bored of my usual names when I created my username to a swedish site called "filmtipset", and I figured that some cool letters that you couldn't pronounce would be totally awesome. It wasn't, but I still kept the username

Posted by: Resurrection Dec 5 2007, 10:01 PM

I joined GMC after a particularly bad time in my life. I felt I was trying to "resurrect" myself by taking a renewed interest in things I had enjoyed before I lost my way, including guitar playing. Sorry if that sounds a bit depressing ...

Posted by: Hemlok Dec 5 2007, 10:13 PM

Just don't change your display pic or I will forget who you are.

@ Robin: HAHAHA! Clever

Hemlok=Ekholm my surname, I have been using this online name for quite a while now.

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Dec 5 2007, 11:34 PM

Well i have an obsession with shred music and Yngwie Malmsteen (and also John Petrucci but that doesnt show in my name) hence Unleash-The-Shred. Yngwie's saying is Unleash The Fury, for those who dont know so it kinda popped into my mind.

No, being able to start new after bad times isn't depressing, glad you made it so far.


You sure fooled me

When joining I listened a lot to http://youtube.com/watch?v=7R8RuOagzck, and read about his http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Willie_Johnson

Posted by: Zephyr Dec 6 2007, 09:47 AM

Mine is just a nickname of mine, for lack of a better term. It's just always been my "other name", since I was a little kid. It's got nothing to do with the definition (a breeze of some kind) or the wind in Greek mythology, it's just always been there...

P.S. I haven't been able to get into GMC all day until just now, was the site down for a bit or something?

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Dec 6 2007, 01:29 PM

Andrew - because my first name is Andrew
Cockburn because its a brand of Port I like.






















Oh, and its also really my name When I registered I got confused and thought it was asking for my real name as an internal record, didn;t realize it would be my forum name .... I have often wished I could have picked something cool and musical sounding, but even now I can;t think of anything particularly, so Andrew Cockburn it stays ... by the way, I do have an evil twin login name I use for testing sometimes but I will never tell what it is !

Twibeard - brilliant picture .

You've probably started everyone wondering now Andrew - maybe we should have a contest to guess your evil twin's name? (And no it isn't tonymiro .)

Cheers,

Htr really has many meaning to me...I've had it for since I can remember, it started out by meaning Heartless, Terror, Ruthless..But it has many histories of it's creation, such as my old three Nicks: Hipogrifo, TrueForce, Rockermaster...

Rated was just an add on I use in Counter-Strike xD

I call my daughter Titch, I`ve been told it will have to change coz she just started to try and copy words recently, unfortunatly it only seems to be the first part of the words that are coming out at the mo!

Posted by: Tank Dec 7 2007, 02:33 PM

I had something similar. Because of my daughters angelic looks, yet her unnerving ability to fill a nappy with the foulest stench known to human kind, I used to call her "Stinkerbell". The problem is now that she's in nursery, she insists on correcting anyone reading Disney books to them.

"And then, tinkerbell flew in the window....", "Stinkerbell!!"

They pick up on anything you say and do, really quickly.

Posted by: Smells Dec 7 2007, 02:42 PM

yea they do, I lost my temper with something the other day, (cant remember why) and I picked up my shoe and threw it from the lounge to the kitchen, next thing she was picking up her little slippers and throwing them around the lounge laughing ... oopsie, gotta be soooo careful

Posted by: tonymiro Dec 7 2007, 03:39 PM

very true Tank.

A friend has a daughter whose first word was 'bugger' though my friend tries to insist that she was actually saying 'buggy'. Oh and my daughter got confused about XMas when she was much younger because she didn't see why people celebrated the birth of 'baby cheeses' .

Posted by: Mackietao Dec 7 2007, 03:51 PM

My name is Marcus. I was awfully into martial arts when I was younger. Still am kind of. Don´t see martial arts movies any more but I follow the UFC for instance. Anyhow one time me and a buddy rented 16 movies with Jackie Chan and saw them during a one week school break and since he had his chinese nick I had to have mine too.
From Jackie and Marcus become Mackie.. And Tao just sound super cool along with it And I´m not really refering to tao as with a meaning. It´s more Tao as in the last name Tao. Found it in an aftertext from a Jackie Chan movie.. hehe.. So it has been one of my nicks for 10 years now.

Posted by: Tank Dec 7 2007, 04:59 PM

Hahaha, my Aunt had the same problem. My young cousin had the habit of running around repeatedly shouting "buggy buggy buggy", though it sounded more like bugger.

More recently, my youngest has got interested in the fact that I'm practicing. The other week she overheard me talking to a friend about the riff from Bark at the Moon. Now whenever she comes over and I'm playing, she'll say "What's that daddy, are you playing Bark for the Moooon?"

BTW, to bring things back on topic. Tank was a nickname given to me by a lead singer in a band I play for. My surname is Bradley, and he introduced me to the audience as "Tank" on our first gig together. The name just kind of stuck.

Posted by: Bulletproof Dec 7 2007, 05:40 PM

My name is one that has been with me for years..and still is used today. As geeky as it sounds I got this name when I was a playing Bond for the 64. It stared off as Slider....then my name because DeathProof as my friends would fall beneath my wrath of double pistols ( Dostivi?? forget the name of it). As they eventually bought the game and became better, they could actually kill me...but they could only do so if they landed a proximity or remote mine on me (as I used a handicap ). So the name Bulletproof spawned and it's still my name today. The End.

Posted by: Rodnator Dec 7 2007, 05:48 PM

Rodnator, The "Unreal Tournament" Killing Machine. As I was labeled in my youthfull online gameplay supremacy. It just stuck.

Posted by: Ayen Dec 7 2007, 08:58 PM

I stated using the name Aenima in Halo, as I was really into Tool at the time. Teammates started shortening it to Aen, and I just kept that. At one point I added a Y because I thought it'd look better. Five years later, I use it for everything.

Enforcer is my first and last nick, from the age of 9, where they started to ask for nicks in videogames... I love that movie too.. And I always used the name Johnny Eddie Enforcer, for registration of sites where I didnt want to use my real name. Johnny for Can, which is pronounced similar to John in turkish, Eddie for EVH and Iron Maidens Eddie, and Enforcer for my lastname

Cheers

Well. It comes from Masters of Universe. Gringer is the name of the scary tiger of Prince Adam/Musclor. A friend of mine used to call me this way for I'm not a strong person as you can tell on the videos.
As I used to listen to metal music and GrindCore, it became GrindGuer...

And other people have the opportunty to call me just Ed

Posted by: Praetorian Jan 18 2009, 05:24 PM

Praetorian comes from my job actually. A lot of the New York State Police traditions were based on the Praetorian Guard from ancient Rome. The colors of our uniform, the shape of our shield (badges) etc. The reason being, the Praetorian Guard protected the Emperor and were under his direct command...the State Police are under direct order of the Governor of the State of New York.

If I had realized how much my account name would be my persona...I would have just chosen Ben!

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 18 2009, 05:32 PM

Mine comes from the Nevermore song "Engines Of Hate". There is a line where Warrel sings "I uncreate, I desecrate, I spit the truth into the engines of hate". I thought the word Uncreate was the most metal thing I had heard (Still do ) and turned it into what it is now

Posted by: Berglmir Jan 19 2009, 08:26 AM

Berglmir -> nordic mythology.
After Odin and his brothers killed Ymir (the first & biggest giant/living creature) and made the world out of his flesh, bones and blood, Berglmir and his wife were the only ones to escape and afterwards founded a new generation of giants.

I like mythology of all kind and I like the name (and also my real surname has "berg" in it )

Well, that´s that!

Cheers

Posted by: utak3r Jan 19 2009, 09:30 AM

you know the German word "u-boot"? it's "Unterseeboot"... similar goes to utak3r.

"3" in it stands for "e", look, it's "E" upside-down so it's utaker. I mean - undertaker...

"Sooner or later... you will meet the undertaker...."

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 19 2009, 05:59 PM

I was in a Band called 'Heads Like That' and we played Glam/Punk/Pop Rock sort of stuff.
Anyway, the drummers brother heard me playing and couldn't decide whether I reminded him more of Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) or Captain Sensible (The Damned).
He messed about and came up with 'Sensible Jones' and it's stuck ever since!
