I think we should let people explain their names by themselves...

It's a song by In Flames. It was on when I was signing up for some other forum, so I picked it. Ever since, instead of picking a nickname, I just put this one in.

Just playing a game one day, and this is the name I came up with. Titan because I really like the titans from H3. William because it's the first name in my name combination that sounded nice. And S for the same reason as william. I've yet to come up with something that the S stands for, though. But if I was to create a new profile, I wouldn't choose this name. I'd chose one of my coolest NWN characters, Alkar Rahn.

The way I came up with my name is in the Random Thoughts thread. However, some of the names I come up with have been through dreams. I seem to dream a lot, and in most of my dreams I am somebody else, and usually in a 'fantasy' setting like middle earth ect. Usually the name is in the dream too. Never quite figured this out, and don't really care to :).

I enjoyed playing Fiona since the beginning of the series, and after Shrek, I thought about her as Mrs. Farquad; after all, they were just a kiss away from "lived happily ever after" right before the dragon ate Lord Farquad :D... so I must now reign in his place.

I'm also dreaming a lot :proud: That's sign of healthy mind, well, when you haven't nightmares. I have no dreams when I'm tired though.... - which's the best option.

I would vote for Corrriba!

Maybe I should have said I remember my dreams a lot. Everybody dreams every night, sometimes 2-3 dreams or more. Actually remembering the dreams is another thing altogether. Most people remember maybe 1 dream every 2-3 days, some not even that much. Me I seem to remember at least 1 dream a night, and sometimes 2. Very vividly also. Sometimes I am so wrapped up in a dream, I don't even know it's a dream until I am woken up.

Mine is a minor character in a book, and I took it for a nickname when I first joined up at the Quill. I use an anagram of it over at the Ubi boards (which I don't visit very much now), since it was already taken there and I had made the anagram earlier for another reason...

Whenever i start asking myself "is this real or a dream" then i know i'm dreaming. And nowadays i actualy have to make a conscious effort to remember what i was dreaming, otherwise all i remember is that i had a dream, but not any usefull details. It was so much easier when i was younger... i still remember my first nightmare.

My name comes from Omega Red's super attack in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Omega Red is a mutant from Marvel comics who has metalic tentacles that extend from his forearms. Due to his powers, his skin is chalk white and he needs to constantly drain people of their life to regenerate himself. That's a bare-bones description of him.

OMEGA DESTROYER!!!
Omega Red holds out his arms and his tentacles start flailing around randomly and hitting almost every place on the screen.
And the chickens. Those damn chickens.

Actualy his mutation is that he constantly exudes a poisonous substance from his skin, the rest are inhancements he received as a soviet super soldier.
