The Origin of the Name

Postby thegrimsleeper on Sat Mar 25, 2006 2:12 am

There's some pretty interesting names on this site, and I'd be shocked and awed to discover that they didn't all have SOME sort of meaning... whether it's your name plus your favorite number, your email plus some RANDOM number, or something that's actually got a bit of thought and meaning behind it...

I own all my friends when we play tabletop, but by the time we're all over and done, it's usually past midnight... So I'm kind of like the Grim Reaper, but I always end up spending the night, hence The Grim Sleeper.

Postby Nobunaga on Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:54 am

"Nobunaga", the given name of Oda Nobunaga, 16th Century Japanese warlord who defeated literally hundreds of rival warlords in one of the most successful military campaigns in the history of the world.

... I'm an closet historian (Asian). Thought it appropriate for Conquer Club, eh.

... (Nobunaga was assassinated by his top general - can't trust anybody!).

My name is just a fantasy name I came up with. It has no meaning as of yet, but I might come up with something someday.

"Malvado" is a word in Portuguese that means, ... I will look for it in the dictionary...

(2 minutes later)

Oh, malvado = wicked. Marvaddin is a modification I created of the word "malvado".

Squirrely...My freshmen year of high school, I tried out for the Varsity Soccer team. There were manditory summer practices prior to the cuts. One of the activities durring the morning practices were to give every person (make the team, or not) a nickname. Mine was Squirrely. Brilliantly thought of by my coach. Ever since then I have been called by my nickname by anyone who has ever heard of it's meaning, or people who were at soccer games and overheard it.

elebdae means "lone shadow" in Tolkien's qalinesti elvish.
I used that name in D&D for a long time (developping a Drow assassin character) and used it ever since for pretty much everything...

Postby BoomWhackThump on Sun Mar 26, 2006 10:35 pm

Have you ever been shot at with a high powered rifle?
There are three distinct sounds.
BOOM: The explosion in the chamber of the rifle and the bullet leaving the muzzle.
WHACK: As a slug passes you by it makes a small 'sonic boom' that really stings the ear. Similar to the cracking of a bullwhip.
THUMP: The sound of the round penetrating something beyond you.
If you only hear the first two sounds check yourself for holes.
You can gage the distance between you and the sniper from the time interval between the 'boom' and the 'whack'. However, if the sniper is close and has a supersonic round the 'whack' can come before the 'boom'.

boomwhackthump, I love your opening line. "Have you ever been shot at with a high powered rifle?" Classic.

Andy Dufresne is from my favorite movie of all time, the Shawshank Redemption. :)

'Fieryo' is the name of one of the characters in the musical "Wicked". The actor who played him in the Original Cast had the best voice i've heard on Broadway for some time. Since i am a horrible singer but love Broadway and wish i could sing, I sorta kinda idolize him and his character.

I was wondering if that's where you got the name. Wicked's amazing, although I saw the off-broadway production, I'm sure it's almost as good. 'Dancing through life' is one of my favorite songs, mostly because of Fieryo

Mjolnir = Thor's hammer.

Grew up reading Thor and when it came time to name my first ever fantasy football team (16 years ago!) I decided on The Mjolnirs.
