As explained in the real name thread - its just 'Thom' with N from Nicholas to scandanvian'-ize' it. This is because I wanted it more like my Surname. Edit: Its just 'Tom' not 'th-nom' or 'f-nom' (due to its origin- think of it like a silent N just like Gnome is the only word with a silent G )
moose is a family nickname. Everyone on my pop's side of the family calls me 'Moosey' or 'Moose' or some derivative, since my pop's name is Maury as well (well, we call him Maurice - "Mar-iss" "Mar-see"), so somehow i ended up with the nick Moose. ive also gone by: SatanicFalcon: from the pantera Vulger video, one small…
Short for Dionysus the greek god of wine, used by Niechie to describe the free form uninhibited expression side of art in "The Birth of Tragedy". Its proved to be a pain when I use team speak in mmorpg's and realized most of my guild thought the pronunciation is like Neo with a d, as if my name was inspired by an over…
No real story behind mine. Was trying to think up a cool band name when I was a teenager and I came up with Hollowmind. I've stuck with it ever since. I initially thought if it as meaning soulless, not empty headed. I know hollowheart would've been better to take as meaning soulless but that just sounds too gay and emo,…

I used to originally be tank275, about 10 years ago, when I first went online with an independent internet provider, which was rare then, I eventually stumbled onto polycount from a link of the Q2 mapper Renegade and then I took like 8 months to finally settle on frosty, sheesh talk about girls taking a long time to make…
I didn't reply to this thread right away because it's been so long, the details are fuzzy. Alas, I first used this name online more than ten years ago, so the details remain fuzzy. I started with Gold, which lasted a few months in 1994, and then decided I needed something 'more aggressive' for whatever MUD I was playing at…
Kirin: Well ... it's been ages since I've had this nick. I think it dates back to the first Ranma 1/2 movie with that guy that's the head of the Seven Lucky Gods Martial Arts. I thought it sounded cool so I adopted it. Much later, I was browsing around the internet just to see what the name really meant and it dates back…
Greek Mythology. Elysium was a section of the Underworld, Hades. The Elysian fields were the final resting place of the souls of the heroic virtuous. See also: The grassy scene at the end of Gladiator. I like the idea of having your own personal paradise, and attempting to make it a reality. Only after fulfilling your…
Back when I first got internet access I tried creating names, the first was batman but it was taken, the next was vigilante, that was taken. So I spelled it Vigialanti and it went thru. I couldn't remember how I had spelled it so I shortened it to Vig. Since that is a borring story I now just say "Vig is the margin a…
