Nope back to twin names -  no jihad, the spice must flow -  

Starsky and Hutch
Holmes and Watson
Theo and Vincent
Ima and Ura (of course this pair only works when your last name is Hogg)
Gilbert and Sullivan

should I stop now?

[AJStarhiker]

What about Home and Ug with a last name of Lee? (Yes, I got that from the Double Dragon movie...it's been probably 8, 9 years since I saw it and I still remember that joke.)

"Echolalia is the repetition or echoing of verbal utterances made by another person. Echolalia is pretty funny because it's like back in 2nd grade when you would say something, and that one kid would keep repeating you to be annoying.  But now you're a jerk for thinking it's annoying, because they have a problem.
Jerk."

Okay, it wins my 'funny for the day' award!

I think that everyone gets to choose their own name eventually anyways.

like... Ruski.

I've been using that sense highschool. perhaps even Jr. High.

*shrug*

-RuskiFace the Pirate

Well, you're the only cobbers who ever call me Gabriel, and I'm pretty sure that if any of us ever met in RL, we would be much more inclined to use our aliases. Kind of a neat thought really.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

well, what's a name really? a designation of who we are... a way to make ourselves diffrent from thoes arround us? something that you exchange in a first meeting, so that all of the values and properties that we each have, are entitled under one 'name'

you know, i've had friends that defined their 'name' in my mind for a particular persona.

so, I'd see something, or witness someone doing something and think: whoa, that's 'parman'
the name becomes a definition of who we are, written by our actions.

so, in choosing your own name, the actual letters and ocasional numbers don't actually have much of a meaning other than what we provide as a backdrop.

if it's 'RuskiFace the Pirate' or Shadow-Punch-Sneeking-Night-Guy or Fred Jones...

so, with that in mind: picking a name is only half the battle. the second half is making that name mean something. weather it's posting
'J00 were HACKED by RuskiFace the Pirate' acrost the internet, so that my name inspires a degree of dread to thoes who reconise it, or helping little old ladies cross the road and proclaiming yourself 'the last boyscout'

actually, now that I think of it... the names that we give to ourselves rarely reflect the names that our friends think of us as.
My friends picked 'RuskiFace' as my nickname. and although I've chosen to embrace it, it was their creation to begin with.

hmm...

Well think about it, you can't really give YOURSELF a nickname. And alias yes, but not a nickname. Other people have to do that based on some defining moment/trait/observation/etc. that they mark you by. Sometimes they're flattering, sometimes they're insulting,b ut always they are a reflection of yourself to others. Kind of makes you think, really. Persoanlly, I don't think I've ever been given a nickname. I wonder if that's good or bad...

I have a friend who constantly refers to me as "My tall glass of mormon," but most people just call me Matt. Not Matthew, which is my christian name, but just Matt. On here I'm Kid_Vid, and other forums that's been abbreviated to KV, and on D&D Forums I've taken to the name Logain. (Logain was the name of my hamster... also a Robert Jordan character.)

A.J. Starhiker originally started out as an original character in a bad (in my opinion) Star Wars fic I did in high school.  It then became my email and screen name online.  I usually use Kalara (an RPG character) as an alternate.

That's funny, I have a friend who we distinguish by his Mormonism. Mostly because he disproves all of the sterotypes about mormons, while being one.

Curris was the name of my first RPG Character (A ADnD 2E Paladin). His name was taken from an NPC in Ultima VIII; Holy Cirrus (Like the cloud type).
One anagram later, Curris existed, and interestingly, it sounds like my name.

You named a HAMSTER after Logain? Chummer, that's just... wrong.

Hey, I like the name. It's also Wolverine's name, albeit a different spelling. I originally named him after Wolverine, because it annoyed my girlfriend at the time, but I changed the spelling later because I was re-reading the books in preparation for the new one coming out. (That last one that jsut came out)

Well, I stopped reading the Wheel of Time somewhere around book 9 I think. That series has gotten WAY out of hand, and I just lost any kind of faith in Robert Jordan's ability to bring it back together. In fact, I dumped all of my books off at the Good Will and just walked away.
