Where'd ya get that nick??

[Alexus Varus]

I created my name from Varus, the Roman general of the Germany disaster In A.D. 9 where he lead 3 liegions of troops throught the woods and the barbarians killed them all... Dont ask me why i liked the guy, he was foolish, but on the other hand, he did have a cool name, plus he reminds me of Denethor. I put Alexus before it becuase it sounded like a cool Romanish name.

i was here a long time ago under the name of mossy, which was short for mossflower, which was a fantasy series i was reading at the time. but, one day, i came back with my sister under the name of mossy. well, the operator didn't like us very much, because we weren't talking about lotr, and he kicked both of us. so we couldn't come back in as our old names. i was talking to my sister on a different channel and i asked her what my new name should be. and she made a reference to the movie, empire records, where warren gets kicked out of the store and he shouts "i'll be back and you'll be sorry!" warren was the stupid, obnoxious, minor of the movie, so it wasn't a very good character to take after or anything, but i thought it would be funny to take the name anyway. so i did. and it sort of stuck. so that's where my name comes from.

Attachments should be used prudently. We're not going to spend space on off-topic attachments, so I've deleted the one you added to your post, warrenerd.

[Maeggaladiel]

I got my name via the name generator here at the Downs. As far as I can tell, it translates to "Woman of Piercing Radiance." Wishful thinking, mind you, since I'm anything but radiant, but sounds so pretty. It kinda rolls off the tongue. Maeggaladiel. Maeee-gaaa-laaa-deee-uuuhhl. Yeah.

~Maeg
Oh yeah, and it looks neat when you shorten it to "Maeg."

[Eowyn Skywalker]

I'm still not quite sure where Eowyn Skywalker came from, but I am her, and she is me! Me... me... me...

Okay, as far as I can tell, apart from the obvious, I wanted a 'crossdimention' user name, is this:

For my birthday, I dressed up as Eowyn.
For my brother's birthday, I dressed up as Darth Maul. I became Darth Eowyn. This was before I came to the Downs... However, on fanfiction.net, I was Elf with a lightsaber, to be more exact, the Elf who stole Luke Skywalker's lightsaber. Also the elf with Luke Skywalker as a co-author later on. However, I love tormenting Luke, by telling him that I am his mother, which came from the fact that I think Anakin is cute. Yeah, I know... So, when I went to get an Email addy, somehow Eowyn Skywalker came from all this... (coughmybrotherislukeifthatmeansanythingtoyoucough ) And well, it sounded cool, reflected my love of Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, so it clicked, I used it here, and now I'm quite known as Eowyn Skywalker. Everyone likes the name, and the pic, which I HAD to make to become Eowyn Skywalker. So yeah, that's that.

I am odd, but none of the name that the generators came up make any sense, anyhow.

So Eowyn Skywalker I am, and I am Eowyn Skywalker.

-Eowyn Skywalker, obviously

[Quicksilver_Sprite]

Well, all the names supplied by the name generator sounded peculiar and quite unpronouncable, so I just decided to go for something rather elven, or faerie-like. Sounds cool too.

Quicksilver_Sprite, who has awful eyesight!

[Lhundulinwen]

I just took my elven name out of the name generator.... there were already too many Sam's and Gamgee's. It sounds rather boring now....
