My grandfather gave me the nickname when I was an infant, because all my initial's are Z's. He gave each one of his 13 grandchildren nick names. It was sorta sweet. My son (his great-grandson) was the last to be born before he died. His name is Azriel, so he always called him A to Z.

TCW is my initials (and the actual account name I use for just about everything.)
I like that these forums have a different display name vs account name. Name's Timothy, but I prefer to drop the H.

When I played DizzyMUD and AnimeMUD, I went by Zhilia Zoana.
The people I RPed with thought I was roleplaying a girl because of the "ia" ending. Haha oops. Stupid gendered sounding fantasy names.

Intro to an Aquabats song. No matter how many times I listen to it, I'll never know if it was misheard or not, because it's part of a dialog that's not included in the published lyrics Posts: 299 | Registered: Jan 2007

I had a bad break up with this totally lame guy when I was eighteen and wrote a poem about a girl who was cookie jar, and this name evolved from that.
After a couple of years I just thought of myself as "porce;" and for the past several years I decided it was a really stupid name.
I was tempted several times to re-register as Sara Ellis. I always was a little jealous that Tom Davidson is simply Tom Davidson. How cool is that?

I initially signed up under my own name (well, first name, anyway), but eventually realized that I was feeling so paranoid about the lack of anonymity (I know, I know--it's not like the internet's so small that I'm on a first name basis with it. I'm aware that it's kind of silly) that I decided to go with something else. I considered Baldur, since I've always liked that god quite a bit, but decided not to go with it, since the Baldur's Gate games were current at the time and I thought that people would think that I was making reference to them. I considered Ander, the name of a D&D character I'd played for about a decade, but thought that it sounded too close to Ender to be used on a forum of Card's. Eventually I decided to go with a name that actually meant something. "Noemon" is an Attic Greek name that means "thoughtful". Since a thoughtful approach was what I took to Hatrack at that point, I thought that it seemed appropriate. Later on I wished that I'd picked a name that translated as "smart ass".

Well, being completely new to the whole forum thing, I decided to name myself after one of my favorite OSC characters. Luet is one of the main characters in The Homecoming series, for those who don't know. 13 is my favorite number and the date of my birth.

I started using the moniker for online games as far back as Quake 1, but Diablo 1 and since then BlackBlade has always been my user name for anything online including games, forums, newsletters, etc.

In the Silmarillion there is a character named Ecthelion, who is one of 2 elves to ever slay a Balrog (consequently it is also the name of Denethor's father and so sometimes i get asked why id name myself after the father ofthe crazy guy.) I didnt really like the way Ecthelion (Ech-thel-yun) and played with it, i liked the "a" sound the most Ec-thal-yon. It has become a forum name/videogame name since.
I have another screename but i dont know why i picked it, i just eneded letters and numbers.
