Default The "Explain Your Username" Thread
I've already got a few threads about my nicknames, but I guess everybody already knows about those, so no need to talk more about it

Unofficial original middle name. Long story. Not my middle name now, but friends in highschool called me by it as there were 10000 Davids at my school.

Mine's just a foreshortening of Jackrabbit, a nickname bestowed upon me in college (tall, thin, distance runner). Yes, my first name IRL is Jack.

Arrian is the anglicization of Lucius Flavius Arrianus (of Nicomedia). I read a history of Alexander the Great by Arrian in college and really enjoyed it. When I played CivII, if I was Rome or Greece, I would use Arrian or Arrianus. I originally registered here to find out more about making a CivII scenario.

-Arrian I also just used my usual civ ruler name as my poly name. Not sure that was the best idea in retrospect.

Ollie is the English pronounciation of my Swedish name, and my education is in Chemical Engineering.

And it sounds almost like one of the badguys in Iraq, and I like to call myself funny badguy names when playing Civ. Like "Cunnulingus of the Perversians"

dannubis: my first name is danny but everybody calls me dan. At the moment i joined apolyton I was playing the citybuilder game pharao. And since i most enjoyed the quotes of the priests of annubis my game name was easily chosen.
