Your name

Merve

What's the story behind your username? Some of them, of course are very obvious (referring to the people who used their first names as usernames, not that it's a bad thing at all, of course).

Discuss, enjoy!

Okay, fine, the story:

I was so bored one day I decided to flip through the dictionary. I was flipping through the 'V' section and I saw the word 'verve', meaning vivacity. That afternoon, I was playing a silly game on the internet and I got a high score. It said: "You got a high score. Type your name:" I had been lectured about internet security; I knew I shouldn't give out my real name, and everybody else typed stuff like: "GO SUCK YOUR OWN GAY FAT DICKS!" and I thought that was stupid, so I decided to type the word I had seen in the dictionary: verve.
The next day I was talking to one of my friends and he said that I should always use the same nickname on the internet, and I told him that I used verve. He told me it sounded stupid. "Who needs 2 v's?" he said.
"But Verve means something," I protested.
"Who gives a damn," he said.
"How about Berve?"
"God, that's even worse."
"Werve?"
"No, use Merve."
And from then on I used Merve.

"Bad" is the name
of a labor's pilot, a very good player of computer's game...
And is the only word i can think when i log in phpbuilder.

But, because we are talking about, why can't a user change the username? I'm always asked this...

In second edition AD&D one of the most munchkin characters you can create is an elvin theif. So when I created just such a character and he had no drawbacks I decided to put on into his name. Not wanting to know him drawback I named him drawmack. It's been a nickname of mine eversince.

Mine is about 6 years old now. I had just turned 18, got my own apartment, decided to buy a Playstation. First game I had to get: Final Fantasy 7. My buddy had bought this a couple weeks ago, I had fooled around on it, and thought it was cool. So I get home, pop it in, and start playing. 10 oclock, Saturday night, my girlfriend was pissssed. Anyway, it comes to the part where you're supposed to name your character. I decide I want to name my charcters totally sensless names, but make them sound sorta like Japanese Kabuki warriors or something. So my main character ends up being named ShrykuLan. Took me a while just to decide how I wanted to pronouce it. Over time, variations came from the name. Most common, now being LordShryku. But I can still be found some places as ShrykuLan 🙂

She was pissed off at me because I wasn't giving her all my attention on a Saturday night.
