Matador

Since i am half Spanish i was assigned to this name when i started to play MoHaa, Madal of Honor Allied Assault. Quite some time ago as it also took quite a lot of it aswell :oops:

I was really into Japanese feudal history at the time that I joined. Plus, Takeda Shingen doesn't sound very German or naval, so I figured that it would stand out.

Yep, as Darnley so carefully pointed out, we already had one of these...three years ago!
:rotfl2:

My name is Steve and I was a sailor. 'Nuff said.

I tried to find something funny starting with Herr, like Herr Kut, or Herr Lip, Herr Style, Herr Flick (of the Gestapo!) or finally Herr Trigger, but plumped for Herr-Berbunch from the great 70's Hanna-Barbera cartoon 'Help!...It's The Hair Bear Bunch!"

:D

PS I rather like Rammstein too, #Bang! Bang!... Feuer Frei!... Bang! Bang! :rock:

:rotfl2:

That's great! I never would have made that connection!

It's my stage name if you will, that I used when playing in my old black metal band. I also use Count Morknar too :O:

Well, could we perhaps 'revive' the thread or indeed merge?
Since we have a lot of people coming and going here i assume.
Just asking :salute:

Avgwarhawk=American Volunteer Group. These pilots flew the P-40 Warhawks over China. Hence AVGWarhawk. Just a a group of pilots I had admired since I was a kid.

first thing that popped into my head at the time, the year was 2005 and everyone knows what a kiwi is so kiwi_2005

login Gaming names are always either nightsurfa or nimrod xx (xx being a number if nimrod is taken. Nightsurfa is never taken cause the name is unique but I suppose Ive blown that now. so if you see nightsurfa in an online shooter be very afraid. :O:

:har::har: Way cool :up:

At the time i registered, my user name was my standard user handle in online gaming. I originally chose it playing Everquest. Yup, there i was, opening day of everquest. I had rushed to the stores, and created my account so i could be the first kid playing the new internet sensation. The next big thing in gaming!

So, i was creating my character, and was in a big hurry to get in and start playing right away, and then BAM, i was faced with "Choose your name". I sat there for 5 minutes thinking intently for an original name, but couldn't think of one. In my desperation to think of a name, i started looking around my room. The only thing that stuck out, was my"wall paper" from the military. And old unit patch fixed in a shadowbox caught my eye.

"Ducimus.... hmmm.. Yeah, that's original, nobody will ever have that name! " I typed it in, and away i went.

It (semper ducimus) means either, "Always leading" or "always we lead". I'm not a study of Latin, but that's as close as i've found. The irony is, later on the movie Gladiator released, and then people thought i was trying to be a deliberate misspelling "Decimus". Along the same vane as some kid using some variation of "legolas", and all very much unoriginal. Nowadays i don't use the name as much, but it's still my first choice when creating a character name.

Picked mine because I spent most of my childhood hanging out with my older brother and his best friend. Since the three of us were rarely seen apart and I was the youngest, I was always the "third kid". Now I'm all growed up :woot:

Back in the day, when I was flight simming more than anything (another mudmover here, as well, in Falcon 3), I went by Ladykiller.

When I started out on my work life, after I got out of the Army, I used to work early morning shifts at a popular copy center, back in, oh, 95 I think it was. Now, all the good chiefs in the CG and Navy will tell you, the day doesn't start without a good, hot cuppa. One morning, on my way into work, there was an accident, and I wasn't able to swing through the 7-11 for my cuppa; I stalked into the building in a foul temper. One of my coworkers - a totally laid-back, mellow, easy-spirited and good guy - says to me, "Man, you really are a growler if you haven't had your coffee." So I growled at him and went into my office, but the name stuck. I was "Growler" ever since.

It was only since I started my association with the Navy's WW2 fleet boats that I learned of the WW2 connection to the boat, and to her most famous skipper, Howard Gilmore. Gilmore was one of the Navy's six submariner MoH recipients, and I share my birthday with him, though his predates mine by some seventy years.

Having spent some years in the british army parachute regiment 2para, (2nd Batt) then later (4 Batt)-(reserve) hence. :)
