paramiteabe 10-08-2002 11:36 AM

Basically my name, I kind of put together at the last moment before I had to go. I was visiting Oddworldan.net and I clicked on the forums. At the time I wanted to do things over the internent communicate ya know. I clicked on register not even thinking that the next day I would become a member. I am sitting there thinking of a name. At first I put down Abe but I couldent use that name for it was already in use so I was just thinking. And At the time I was thinking about How the paramites attacked me in AO I was playing the night before. And how I messed up by forgetting to run and jump onto a platform. So then I just put Paramite and Abe together like a strange unusual word that doesen't really make any sense and here I am.

Mainly my new banner which I thank Kristen for describes my thought process when I came up with my name "Paramiteabe" My banner is my name in Picture form.

Mac the Janitor 10-08-2002 11:52 AM

I dunno. I was bored.

Xavier 10-08-2002 03:59 PM

Meesa loves Scwabs, meesa wanna bee Scwab Leader, like being Alpha leader => AlphaScrab

Silversnow 10-08-2002 05:28 PM

I don't know, it's a very old name and rather hard to remember...

I think that Silversnow was a name I first used for the Sims homepage. I tried with silver, and when that was taken, I took some inspiration from my surroundings. Snow, snow, snow...

salty pretzils 10-08-2002 05:38 PM

My username is wacky, strange and demented. Aspects of my immature side which is now slowly dieing away. Crud.
Oh, and I happened to be eating a packet of pretzils at the time.

SeaRex 10-08-2002 06:20 PM

The sea rex was an Oddworld creature I was interested in a while back...

rikkypop 10-08-2002 06:46 PM

Rikky, with a POP!

(Sounds quite rubbish, but I don't care)

TheKhanzumer 10-08-2002 08:48 PM

TheKhanzumer
 
For my name I wanted something related to oddworld but original. We have lots of scrabs, Abes, sligs, etc... and I didn't want my name to be easily confused with others. So I picked TheKhanzumer, mainly because it sounds cool and is pretty different yet is still an oddworld creature.

Majic 10-08-2002 10:46 PM

I made my name when I used to like Oddworld more (the games, relaly). Majic is what I have everything else at. Well, variations, but thats not the point. I'd choose "Majic" if I could though.

munchman 10-08-2002 11:18 PM

i never thought about that....................

Miss Odd 10-09-2002 12:00 AM

Hmph. Well.... My favourite Anime is Sailor Moon... and my fav character from it is Queen Serenity... And I wanted it to have a touch of femininity (if there is such a word :P) and I wanted it to have a Oddworld touch as well!!! So, Miss (feminine) Odd (Oddworld) Serenity (for Queen Serenity)..

So there you have it!!

~Miss Odd Serenity

Nate 10-09-2002 02:13 AM

My real name is Nathan, which is what everyone usually calls me but one day one of my friends just started yelling NATE DOG!!!! Everyone joined in and some of them started barking. I'm hardly ever called it; only if someone wants to be a bit silly. When I registered, it was the first thing that came to my head.

ZombieX 10-09-2002 03:31 AM

Mine was the result of a brain fart years ago.

Wil 10-09-2002 06:03 PM

At the exboard I was known as Max the Meetle. When the community moved here, I decided to move on up in the world.

ZombieX 10-10-2002 12:36 AM

Where did Max come from?

Ashe 10-10-2002 04:08 AM

Hello atusiya. It is very interesting to read about other people's forum names. Mine is very simple. My favorite game is Final Fantasy X. My favorite character is Yuna who is the main female character in this game. She is a summoner in the game. Therefore Summoner Yuna. :)

Wil 10-10-2002 06:27 PM

Don't be silly, ZombieX, it's my real name.

ZombieX 10-10-2002 10:04 PM

Ah yes, how could I forget! :) *slaps forehead*

TheBlueScrab 10-10-2002 10:24 PM

Hmm...I believe I choose these name because I like the color blue and I like Scrabs = TheBlueScrab
That´s it!

Damn it Max! I got on this thing in the morning and you were actually online. And then my wireless fucks up and you vanish! Darn it! Do you have MSN or ICQ or summat?

Cloverfield 10-13-2002 07:16 AM

I don't know, I kind of look back at the origins of Abe Babe and it's really very lame when I come to think of it. But I wouldn't change my forum name because it's what I have always been known as since I became part of the Oddworld online community.

Anyway, before I was into Oddworld I used to be a NFL fan. My favorite player was Jeff George and I had a crush on him (okay, that is so lame!!!). So I called myself Jeffie Babe (that is even lamer!!!). When I started getting interested in Oddworld I wanted to sign up at the then Oddworldian Forums, but did not know what to call myself. As my favorite character was Abe and I thought he was cute I went with the name Abe Babe.

And well, that's it, so move along now and read someone else's story.

Abe Babe...

Alcar 10-13-2002 09:28 AM

I chose it because it is the name of a Mudokon I created, I chose the actual name because so far most Mudokons have their names starting with an 'A' I don't know where the rest of it came from.

I guess it was on the spot thinking :)

Alcar...

Rex Tirano 10-13-2002 09:42 AM

me?? hehe! I nicked it off mollucks aol name. Cos I couldn't think of one....sorry molluck! *waves* Oh well! It has nothing to do with oddworld at all. As you all guess! ^ . ^

molluck2 10-15-2002 06:34 AM

well coz my fav. character from oddworld is molluck, but i chose 2 at the end of it is because it was takken and i was kinnda lazy to think of anything more original...

General Drippik 10-15-2002 07:42 PM

Coz Dripik is a complete dipwad. :D

mitsur 10-15-2002 08:30 PM

Kesiah 10-15-2002 10:07 PM

hmmm....My nick is actually based on my name, which I'm not comfortable in listing openly....
But a friend started calling me Kes, which I developed later into what I generally go by.

MunchOnThis 10-16-2002 05:45 PM

*bling bling*
 
My name was kinda random. It's based on the offical Munch's Oddysee site. But people call me MOT for short.

You're not comfortable to list openly? Why not? What do you call yourself when you meet new people? ;)

Kesiah 10-17-2002 01:06 AM

If I'm introducing myself over the net, I'm Kesiah...
In real life? I use my real name......
I tend to tell it mainly to people who I know I can trust, close friends and such.
