    You guessed it. I chose it when RTW dominated these boards. Simply, one of the early Roman Emperors, and I liked it, and it wasn't taken, and....

    *digs for 2 minutes*

    Ah, here's the thread I was looking for!

    *relieved sigh*

    My username is from a German RPG called Gothic 2, where, if the player chooses the Paladin guild, at one point, a character calls him "Sir Paladin". Very deep. It touched me.

    It means Estonian in several Germanic languages. I don't know what i was thinking when i picked it to be honest. It's rather stupid. I usually go by the name of Raudsarw on other forums, which means Ironhorn.
    I don't like it much but I'm used to it now.

    My actual username refers to two characters in the novel Melnitz from Charles Lewinsky: Mr. Blau and Mr. Gruen. Gruen is also a reminder for me to buy a book from Arno Gruen an author who wrote studies among others about violence.

    My username is meant is a bow to my hero Jean Jacques Rousseau. It is a term associating uncultured people with untainted goodness. The goodness is lost when we are corrupted by commerce and false education. Rousseau thought along these lines.

    Frigus means "Ice cold". Darth because I'm a kick-ass Sith Lord. I basicly looked for latin words that could be used as a nice kick-ass Sith name, so that's why I'm "Darth Frigus" now.

    It's an ancient Navajo dialect and means "He who ate all the cabbage".

    I use it metaphorically for the verbal flatulence I pamper the site with...

    Ardeur means zeal. I chose it because there was a time when I thought I was zealous, but it turned out to be a caffeine addiction gone very wrong.

    Yes caffeine addictions do suck

    Black Francis....

    Well my surname is Francis and I wear a lot of black.... (I wan once a Goth y'know!)

    ....but I am also a fan of the Pixies (the band, not the mythological woodland spirit!), the lead singer being Frank Black also goes by Black Francis. I originally found the name on an album sleeve and thought it doubly appropriate for myself.

    no need to explain the word meaning, and the association of my origins to nomadic warfare style, but if you ask me why I chose it, it has to do with my personality in a ways of being fast-unpredictable,sometimes merciless -and the "I never knew where that came from" type of behavior.
