What is the story behind your name?

[Ryder =FL=]

I thought it would be very interesting to get the story on how we came up with each of our names online. So, if you got the time and would like to post it up do so...I'm interested and I bet some of our fellow clansmen/women are too!!!

As for the story behind mine. Well, I love Transformers. Watched it growing up and one of the factions in the show is a group called the Targetmasters which were humanoids in exosuits that would transform into the Transformers' weapons. That explains the Targetmaster portion. As for the Ryder portion, well I used to like this rap group called the Ruff Ryders and so I took Ryder up and it stuck ever since.

[Nightmare -]

My name came from people who thought I am a girl, I haunt their dreams forever ^_^

Besides it's also my artist name.

 

[MajorInMurder]

Well my stroy is intresting. I was playing around with names and since i played the old DoD awhile ago and used the name Private Mckinley and I got really bored of it, it had no meaning to it "no juice". So i changed my name to Captain Poopy. That too was getting boring and i messed around with words. I used MajorinMurder one time and then changed it theenxt time i played. My brother who shares a steam account with me, said the name i had before i changed it was cool. He was talking of the name MajorinMurder. And b/c of that i kept the name. So who wants to learn how to die?

[-=KA=- Colonel]

my dad is a retired Colonel USAF, and flew combat in WWII, Korea & Vietnam....retired when I was 3yrs old in '74. I have always admired him, and alot of us call him "the Colonel" so it fit.

 

[EDITThor]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor

The Norse God of Thunder, and arguably the ONLY god many Norsemen ever worshiped. He was a very humble Warrior God who conquers all of his enemies until Ragnorok (The Norse Apocalypse).

Some cool facts about Thor...

• Thor once ate an entire ox in one sitting.

• Thor once dressed as a woman and married a Giant to retrieve his stolen Hammer, Mjolnir.

• Thor has a popular comic written about him, appropriately titled The Mighty Thor.

• Thor is the English Translation of the original name, Donar, a variation of Donar is Donner which is a map in DoD:S that I happen to find incredibly boring.

• If Thor is hungry he can eat his goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, when he is finished he can put the bones back together and they come back to life.

• Thor once had many buildings, landmarks, and towns named after him that were destroyed after the Christianization of the British Isles and the Nordlands. (There are a few still there).

• Norse Paganism in general, (Not just Thor), saw the creation of many current fantasy species. Elfs, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Trolls, Dragons, Manbearpigs, and Goblins

I can list some more if you want me to, I'm just too lazy at the moment.
