(i.e. for icq, I use 'smashingyoungman'...the Collective Soul song). But every title that I tried was already in use by someone else. So I took Our Lady Peace's song Starseed and added Mr. to the beginning of it for gender specification. Then I changed my goldtoken name to match	{ Player }
Romp	I needed a new nickname when I crossed over to this site, since someone else seemed to like the name better than I did. I chose 'Romp' because I liked the double meaning of the name -- 'winning by a large amount', and uhhhh you can figure out the other one	{ Player }
Stackasaurus	Back on iyt, I used to play with this name. I decided to create a new account after timing out of nearly 300 games on another iyt acct.

red_dog78KM	The story is kind of an odd one. I had gone to the library in my hometown while I was in High School and I just decided to get an e-mail account and I had several nicks that I thought of to use. But, I just thought about it and thought to myself, 'That just would seem kind of dumb to use. Think up a new one.' So, I had chose Red Dog. Well, I had gone to Hotmail (now owned by MSN and changed completely) and had entered that in the signup screen. Well, I couldn't use just that name; but, it did give me some choices and red_dog78 was one of them. So, I chose that one and I've been using red_dog78 ever since

HalfHoot	A long time ago there was this old tv-western show with a cowboy named Hoot Gibson. His claim to fame was the fact that he was such a good shot. My father is an excellent shooter and our last name is Gibson, so he got the nickname Hoot.

Gandalf The Whistler	Jethro Tull is my favorite rock music band (Ian Anderson, in particular), and in 1977 they put out a song called "The Whistler". Now, while I was at a biker poker run barbeque, this song was playing, and this girl was trying to put her hand down my pants, not 'cuz I'm a stud (even tho' I am...lol...) but because she was trying to anger my wife. A line in the song says "I have a pipe and I'm ready to play" - I said that to the girl just as my wife and a friend walked up...my friend said "oooooh, he 'The Whistler'" and the name has stuck and I've used it ever since. It doesn't hurt that I also play flute. <grin> I always use this handle

Later, I expanded my original nic here from ***TOPGUN*** to ***TOPGUN&theGoldenQueen to include my fiance. We both play here together as a couple while sharing that nic. We also formed our own individual nicknames so we could play solo games as well. She chose the Golden Queen of NY, while I attempted to regain my original nickname.

It was decided that he could the keep the old nic ***TOPGUN***, so I created a new nic which I still use today, Maverick.	Maverick

Kata (Kata Kavnicijan was burned in Varazdinske Toplice, Croatia in 1585 because they believed her to be a witch) I actually adopted her as a person who was unjustly prosecuted in the burning times era. The other two names are actually taken from the elvin language. I took a course called Realms of the Faery, and in this course was a section of Elvin Language. This is where I came up with the rest of my magical name. Liana: In service-dedicated to - Tanaii: A path one chooses - I am dedicated to the path I choose.	Mystic River
