Well, you can explain the origin of your handle (if you want to hehe)

Mine is "Notario" and I chose that handle because of The Big Lebowski film. The Dude --> Nota (in spanish) --> Notario

 

Lets see yours SMILEY

The original character I made on Enumerator at launch was 3zechiel, which is named after the prophet Ezekiel, who fortold the destruction and rebuilding of Jerusalem from atop Mount Zion.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free bird. Hm investigating I guess it's really because of this scene in The Devil's Rejects. I saw the movie Thanksgiving 05 and created Bayamo one day later.

Baya = type of bird, MO = modus operandi. A bayamo also happens to be a violent tropical wind, so the duality of 2 different meanings that I both liked sealed the deal.

My first character i ever made in beta, i named idunno (becuase, i had no idea what handle was XD)

 

But, the reason i ended up choosing nighthawk7000 was becuase i liked "nighthawk" (I originally got that part from playing Counter Strike, and using the desert eagle to much SMILEY). 7 is a lucky number, but, i thought it would look cooler if you added 3 more zeros.

I started playing a little over 2 years ago, and my main's name is WarOmnimonki. I was a huge fan of monkeys, and I decided a latin prefix would make the name sound better, so I had Omnimonkey, omni- being "all". Then I decided to add more consistency, thus, Omnimonki. Omnimonki was taken (who wouldv'e thought), so I just strapped "War" at the front of it. I'm not sure I'd choose the name again, but I've had it for a long time so I stand by it.

My name comes from Saigo Takamori:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takamo...igo#cite_note-0

 

I discovered his history watching a beautiful movie: The Last Samurai

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Samurai

 

The actor Ken Watanabe acted the role of Saigo in that movie, but the authors decided to call him Katsumoto...

prolly a copyright matter, but anyway i ilove samurai lifestyle and i found this character rly interesting also cuz he rly lived in japan and he's part of that nation cultural history.

So i just modified the name to make it more personal, Saigo went SajghO.

This is my story.

I originally wanted to be Rainmaker after the Iron Maiden song, but that was taken, and i didn't want to be rainmaker2 or have a number in my name, so i chose a different song from that same album, Paschendale... Then my friend kicked me off his account, so i had to make my own and ironically got stuck with a song i like less and had to add a number to the end of it because i couldn't delete the old one and people already knew me as paschendale so i didn't want to make a brand new one

*edit* i can't sleep so i'll add my alts lol*

Riftm1 = I wanted Paschendale to be my 1st character on my character select screen because i click buttons too fast and would log onto the wrong character, so it had to be a letter after p.. and my brother was playing Red Alert Tiberium Wars, so i named him after the Rift Generator there, and slapped m1 on the end because the gun i really wanted at the time was the Springfield M1A

Elwood2 = Named after Elwood Blues from The Blues Brothers, and the 2 is my trademark now, plus Elwood was already taken and i stopped caring about Paschendale being the top character on my character select screen

Holden2 = Named after the main character of The Catcher in the Rye, one of my top 5 books of all time, and the 2 was added again because the name was already taken (my good ideas aren't very original)

Also i love this idea Notario, and your suggestion too Manatik.

I've also been curious to know the reason many people chose their names
