Nahanni is a First Nations Canadian name that a National Park is called in the Northwest Territories.
http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/nt/nahanni/index.aspx.

I always wanted to go there and it was also the name of our first and last family dog a border collie that was beyond intelligent. I also like the sound of the name and its original.

I have strong First Nations ties as my real name "Nadinaka" is a Carrier Sakani name which means "stands alone". The language group is from the interior section of the province in British Columbia. I guess I live up to it as a highly independent person. I know the thread was just about alias's but I think I have an interesting real name too.

Why 4653?

Because CjC4652 was taken.

I always liked the origin of my name, mostly because it stems from a player I now deeply respect.

TMP was initially an abbreviation for The Magic Potato. TF2, Frozen Synapse, and I think Quake are the only games that I have gone by TMP in. The story starts out on a game development website, when someone said the art for the characters in a game that I am perpetually delaying looked like potatoes. For some reason, I really liked this and started going by Potato in games where I could change my name. Namely, I was just starting TF2 around this time.

One day, back when I was terrible at the game, I had an ok day on sniper. But to me, I thought I was doing really good. In excitement, I figured I should be something different. Magic, perhaps. The Magic Potato was what I was. And the name was born.

I went by that name for quite some time, joining the voogru community and quitting it, and starting out competitive in TWL 5v5 Fast Attack back in 2009(?). Then, I saw a frag video that I have no idea what the name of it is to this day. All I know is that it was right around the time I started playing comp-ish modes. It starred enigma. But during certain segments, he went by e. I was impressed, and I wanted to emulate him to a degree. So I took a step towards that and shrunk my name. I became TMP.

Nowadays, the name doesn't really have the meaning it used to. But I don't mind. It's very flexible, and I like that.

Me and my brother used to play Sonic + Knuckles at my grandma's house all the time, being the younger brother I was always Knuckles. Idk, it's a nice way to keep my brother around considering he doesn't play video games.

KayleeSeranada is just a general username I use (based off of my name combined with Danny Elfman's "Serenada Schizophrena," albeit woefully misspelled).

My gaming handle, Lilith, is based off of the demon Lilith in Jewish mythology (the same demon that the Liliths from Supernatural and Diablo III were based off of).

As myth has it, she and Adam were created equally, both from the Earth. Adam, however, demanded that Lilith be subservient to him (some interpretations of the myth suggest that this was after Lilith tried to sex him cowgirl style, and so Adam felt emasculated, poor baby) and she refused. She was thus kicked out of the Garden of Eden and, since the Garden was Heaven on Earth, she became the first female demon, equal to Lucifer himself since she technically "fell from Heaven" as he did.

it was 3.am. and all through the night, not a creature was stirring,not even the mice?
me and my friends saw a commercial for wizard 101, have jokingly we decided to try it,
after about five minutes of finding out that it was really stupid, we decided to pvp, the equivelant to mge, we did a 3v3
on our first match all three of the other peoples names were brand brand, they were all dressed the same and had the same spells and all that,
we laughed about it for hours and the name kind of just stuck after i switched my steam name to it jokingly
i also use to go by BONNERMASTA3000 for reasons...

Most danish kids pronounce an English "r" as a "w" sound. Me and a bunch of my friends were walking around my school when I heard a 4th grader yell "THAT'S SO WANDUM!" at the top of his lungs. So as a sort of in-joke, I changed my name to Wandum. The name stuck with me. I like Wandumb better cause I'm kind of dumb but what ever.

Middle school me was an obnoxious idiot. I haven't changed it yet because then people would take me seriously.

I always forget about how bad it is until I meet new people.

I was in Chemistry class sophomore year of high school trying to think up a name and we were learning about water so the term polarity came up. I liked it and it fit since I like the cold and snow.
At first I added things to it like "PolarSpecimen" and "PolarSpectrum" but everybody just started calling me Polar so it stuck.

edit: the extra r's were added because Polar by itself was taken :(

I was known as an emotional person. I'd get upset real quick and such and have gone through periods of wanting to suicide and have done things when angry. In highschool i threw desks at kids who made me upset. Eventually i took therapy for 5 years and have not have many problems. In remembering those times, i continued to call myself emo, to remind myself of what I used to be.

When I was a kid I played a game called SSX3 on the PS2. When you played with a certain character (forgot who) and won something, a radio would come on and the broadcaster would sometimes call you a hucker-extraordinaire. My 10 year old mind thought that was funny because it sounds like fuck so now I've been Huck for 10 years and everyone thinks my last name is Huckabee but it isn't.

Back during TBC progression in WoW (Black Temple) I rerolled Ret Paladin. Being the dynamic and inspired pubescent gamer i was I wanted something that seemed both pro and creative. Plus I was in a guild called "Huge PvPness" and it kinda fit.
