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.
