Explain your online name.

WhtCastle · Post by **WhtCastle** » Sun Nov 23, 2003 9:10 pm

So what's the story behind your name?

The "WhtCastle" name originates from my love of music. Beastie Boys is what got me into music, and if you listen to the older albums, they mention White Castle quite often. (Visit http://www.whitecastle.com for more info) It was shortened in order to fit the IRC standard amount of characters allowed in a nickname.

*edit* I have been using this since ( I THINK) 95-96. My other more often used online name is Killaton, which is a reference to my gaming days. (Duke Nukem Kill-A-Ton collection.)

Mine originated as Sirk.. which is my first name backwards.. then I appended the last name, Siggler, after seeing boogie nights. (Dirk Diggler/Sirk Siggler).. and later shortened it to MrSiggler, as a tribute of sorts to MrSatan from DBZ.

Post by **melancholy** » Sun Nov 23, 2003 10:48 pm

I chose mine because when I first got the internet, I had to create a email address. I wanted something cool, I didn't want it to be based on anything from the media, and I refused to have numbers, so I picked a cool word that described my personality. When I chose melancholy, I thought it meant 'layed back' or 'easy going.' However, I later found out that it meant 'deep sadness,' but by then the name was stuck on me.

AmadeusZull · Post by **AmadeusZull** » Sun Nov 23, 2003 10:51 pm

Amadeus = I was amadeus in hs.
I got Aol around 99 and became Amadeus X0001. (i was young then please forgive me for rocking an X)
around 2000 i added zhypher, thus making moi Amadeus Zhypher. my reasons were because i saw a few peeps rocking the Amadeus name and i just wanted to be different.

then jan 30, 2001 i recieved my copy of PSO.
being i couldn't fit Amadeus Zhypher as my nickname i had to opt for another name. Zull just popped out of no where and it really hit a chord with me. and ever since then and i believe til the day i die i will always be the one and only entity known as Amadeus Zull.

heh the other day i recieved a credit card from citi bank in the name of Amadeus Zull.
and i dunno how but Radio Shack sent one of their ad newsletters to the name of The Zull Family.
