I know we already have an introduction thread where people tell everyone about themselves and such, but I haven’t seen this topic explored on the forums (maybe I’ve missed it, apologies if so): What does your player name mean? How did you come up with it?
Mine is very straight forward, I’m a paramedic in the Dallas - Fort Worth area.
I do have another game name used on other games: Nilrem. It’s a throwback to way back when MP games first really started to take off. Me and three of my friends named ourselves after the first four pilots mentioned by name (or call sign rather) in Top Gun: Cougar, Merlin, Maverick, and Goose. Except we turned the names backwards to be Ragouc, Nilrem, Kcirevam (he pronounced it “Ksire-Vam”) and Esoog. I haven’t spoken or heard from the other three in a very long time. Over time the name Nilrem took on several new meanings. Once nailed a guy in DF Blackhawk Down from a huge distance with the rocket launcher. He asked if I was some sort of wizard. Somehow along the way, it became backwards wizard. I honestly can’t remember the story behind that one. And then someone pointed out that no matter what time something was going on in the game I was apparently on leading people to think I never sleep…which, if you split the name to Nil REM you get “Zero Rapid Eye Movment” or ‘no sleep’ as it were.
So what is the origin of your name?
