Timbolina, have that nickname for over 10 years :-P
Msh100 is just initials and 100, no idea why 100 ... leave me alone :'(
Zodiac.. Used it since I joined the first ET pub back in 04. Had this old phone which had Zodiac written on it, so that's the origin I guess. :p
cu syrian border matan
fanatic, from 2007 dunno B)
kotz, used to be kotzamo but it was too hard and long for polaks to pronounce.
Woooooo, have had in all games since I was like 2 months old or so I guess, had a creative mind back then.
:D It's so cheap that it's even funny.
wsk short for wohlstandskind
wohlstandskinder used to be a german pop-punk-ska band I used to like and I thought it would be funny to use that as email adress. first thing to pop up in my mind when I started to play ET so I used it and shortened it to wsk later on. there is no real translation for it to english cause I think there is no similar word/term.
I always 'hoped' you picked it because of the band, among to other things. One of the best nicknames on crossfire.
they were great band, had the pleasure to see them live once. great lyrics and even though the name looks like a joke there is actually some meaning behind it and can stand for a few things and if you try to translate it eg. english language, it takes 5 minutes to explain. thats one of the reasons why I like it x)
Pseudonym: MAJE57Y - Self explanatory.
VanillA, started using it a few years ago.
From the Hebrew name (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Saint Michael is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers.
The popularity of the saint led to the name being used by nine Byzantine emperors, including Michael VIII Palaeologus who restored the empire in the 13th century. It has been common in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and in England since the 12th century. It has been borne (in various spellings) by rulers of Russia , Romania (Mihai), Poland and Portugal (Miguel). Other more modern bearers of this name include the British chemist/physicist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and basketball player Michael Jordan (1963-).
Nickname miQi: some nick my friends call me so =D
I've used name blackwolf 4.5 years now. Dunno where did it come from. Older names are Matu, mazuuu and wolf.
Please add ioly to your name... Jinostioly!
mAhla = Comes from "Lemmen mahla" = "sap of the love" :D Read some story where some dude was banging some chick, and he talked about sap of the love, quess u can quess what he meant with that (No its not sperm, its the wet thingy from da chick!) ;d So after that we created clan "Huaran <insert nickname here>" = "Whore's <insert nickname here>" So I was Huaran mAhla, other guy was Huaran Vibrator, etc..
So in PEANUT: mAhla = sap
I actually have no idea what zaNc came from :S
ironic ~ I have no idea actually, my old nick was Cheezeij, but it looked gay as fuark, so I was trying out some other names, I probably heard it in some song or something.

Tizzay ~ One of my favorite dutch rappers is called R.Kay, and he always calls himself Kizzay, and since my real name begins with a T, I changed it to Tizzay.
Nickname - Was something given to me when I started school when I was 4 and not from drinking panda pops
:))
Infernal - Nerd pds gave me this name, thought it sounded cool until i discovered it's from that paris to berlin song fucking pds
Ik ging kapot toen je vertelde dat Shkar dat n keer riep toen je buiten met je homies was XD

PHOTO(SYNTHESIS): heard it on TV when i was kinda searching for a (new) nickname
: D
Nickname, came from my old nick "Holger". nevertheless I thought also about fat russian mothers when I gave me this nick. And then i found out that some highskiller had really similar name.
Last lan I found out that we both have one thing in common: We both couldn't give a fuck about the similarity of our names.
But it still was a nice target for mad kids ingame :D
Meaning & History
From Βαρθολομαιος (Bartholomaios), which was the Greek form of an Aramaic name meaning "son of TALMAI". In the New Testament Bartholomew is the byname of an apostle also known as Nathaniel. Due to the popularity of this saint the name became common in England during the Middle Ages.
My friends call me Bartman, alias/email bartman wasnt available so set it to Bartmen
"Thomm", just adaptation from my real name, was originally "Thom", but had to extend with one m, it was taken at some forum or smth. From 2001-2002 I think.
"Tom" or "Thom" are abbreviations of Thomas, and "Tommy" is a common variant; "Tam" is a common abbreviation used in Scotland. The name is sometimes abbreviated as "Thos" in signatures.
Nickname: my original nick was Tommy, but in community were too many players with this nick, so i decided to make newone, when i was joining vent it wasnt sayin tommy or so but smth like tamj, so i thought to make nick of it, and it was time when t4Mj was born.
Friends call me Francis, never really knew why maybe because I'm not super tall and there was a basketball player called Francis... I guess they were making fun of me during all the time :s
Sinfulsebastian, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4upn3M4jtQY 2007 onwards
Thunder -> when i started playing ET my name was just Luc or Lucje, but i joined some clan back at 2.55 where they said i needed a new name and i couldnt come up with a name, so i looked outside and there i saw a lightning! so i thought oh what the hell i'll just name myself Thunder (now that i say this, it's pretty weird that i didn't choose the nick Lightning, but well)
Ghana, my rl nickname for > 10 years or so.. (cant really remember why tho)
started playing ET as 'Zurgy', had that one for years :D played on a few pubs as 'shaLLoTs!', which came from a question on the impossible quiz (Q:Onions?! A:SHALLOTS!), the moved to niSmO when i started playing competetive, dunno why again, random selection
Stephen: It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Stephen is "crown, garland"
Predje: Diminutive for predator
hellkn1ght - Hell Knights are monsters in DOOM. Saw one in the leaked DIII alpha. Scared the shit out of me, so I decided to use it as my nickname.
danlango is my original internet nickname (combination of name and familyname) but since its a bit long and some guys had problems to pronounce it(?) i only use lango since a few years now :)
L4mpje - dunno
Nickname - Originally Parzival but shortened it to PaRzi cuz people kept calling me that. My first and only nickname, been using it since I started playing ET.
Why? "Parzival is a major medieval German romance by the poet Wolfram von Eschenbach, in the Middle High German language." but also "Parzival Pechvogel - der kleine Papagei", one of my favorite childhood books.
You won't be able to win that contest, I got a phrase book, containg 1500 pages! :P
I have no idea. :(
Means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead "rich, blessed" and weard "guard". Saint Edward the Confessor was the king of England shortly before the Norman conquest. He was known as a just ruler, and because of his popularity this name remained in use after the conquest when most other Old English names were replaced by Norman ones. The 13th-century king Henry III named his son and successor after the saint, and seven subsequent kings of England were also named Edward. This is one of the few Old English names to be used throughout Europe (in various spellings).
Nickname - Stary from "Star" using Stary since there are other people with name "Star"
After some googleing i found this: "The manliness this name refers to is about the duties of a male in the patriarchal society of ancient Greece. The first duty of a man was to protect his home, and this name is sometimes translated as "warrior"."
At first i used the name Slender, then added 'i' but everyone kept calling me slendu so i settled with that. The name comes from an old 8-bit classic "Pro Wrestling" where there is this wrestler "King Slender".
urtier - Means really old or even first animal. Got called urtier by a friend when I was a kid. Guess because I was fat and looked like a dinosaur or some other animal from that time :-)
wtf... :D
Nick: my first nickname was MeleeBro which I used on the SSBM GameFAQs forums back in 2002. Name speaks for itself, I'm a bro and I played Melee, so MeleeBro. After using that name on public servers in ET for a little while I decided that MeleeBro just didn't quite cut it for ET, so while getting repeatedly mown down by someone on a crew-served MG (perforated by) I decided I'd rename to perforator, added some c00l numbers to my name and p3rf0r4t0r was born :D Everyone called me perfo though because perforator is too long, so I just renamed myself to perfo in 2004 but I registered on here as perforator (I don't know why).
I remember
