    Name comes from the name of one of the Ents in Lord of the Rings. I'm a fan of LotR and it just happened to be the first name that came in to my head when registering.

    Think there was a few threads of this before but no harm in a refresher. Mainly for the benefit of people who cant pronounce my real name (im looking at you Americanos :) ) My real name being Ruairi so it was just shortened to Ruu. It started during primary school and just stuck since then.

    From galactic president and inventor of the pan-galactic gargleblaster in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox.

    used to post as Zaphod elsewhere before I discoverd boards.ie, and everyone shortened it to Zaph, which is what I now use everywhere I post.

    Piste
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I have this big red oh-so-comfortable hoody that has "Piste Girls" written accross the front and I wore it a -lot- when I was 13. When I waas in Irish College two years ago people stopped bothering to learn my name and just called me "Piste" and even after that people knew me by my hoody. I liked the name so I now use it for most things, or a variation (Pistie, Etsip) if it's already taken.

    But I didn't actually register as Piste, I just changed my name to it about a year ago, I used to be Gummybearz!!! (yes with the !s and all) When I was in 6th class my friend randomly handed me a piece of paper with "Gummybearz!!!" written on it and I kinda liked the word so I used it as my handly until I realised how n00bish it looked :P

    Fom Final Fantasy VII, Emerald Weapon uses airetam storm on you which is an instant killer until you figure out the connection to materia.

    Hats off to Dataisgod for spotting it.

    Wow, what an original thread.

    I got mine from my initials, and then added an ie. Unfortunately I also had to add a _. Didn't see myself actually getting into using the site so didn't put a whole lot of thought into it, then ended up getting a lot more use than I thought and was stuck with rb_ie. Now I've subscribed and have the option there to change it, but I don't think I will.

    Just chose SebtheBum cos I didn't wanna be TOO predictable, like.

    Plus I'm basically a lazy asshole, so... Self-explanitory, really.
