Plz Help Me Guys

[SwordOfDamocles]

Ok so lots of you peeps know me as SoD.

Problem is that not only does the name suck (imo), there is also another Sod who plays for hardcore possibly best in Europe Infensus.

Whilst I find it flattering that people like LeM.Melachi etc confuse me with this other dude, I don't want knick the bloke's name or be taken for someone else - I only changed to SoD because SwordOfDamocles was too long (especially if I ever go clanned).

soooooo......

(i) Do you peeps think I should change my name

and

(ii)WTF should I change it to???

Real issues here cos I may well go clanned soon...

All help appreciated,

Dave.

[damocles]

Anything except "Damocles" is fine by me :D

Do you want to stick with the mythology theme or anything is good?#

If you want myhtology - try here:

http://www.pantheon.org/areas/

It has some pretty good stuff on various mythologies including Greek. Usually has the story behind each of the characters too, so you can get info on who you might like to be. How about Narcissus :D

If you want a regular name, try this: When I was studying graphic design we used ti have to invent names for our projects, and we did this by randomly opening a page int he dictionary and putting our finger on a word. If we liked it, or it conjured ideas of other words, problem solved.

[Bongoboy]

That's a harsh one, Damocles (or can I call you Sword of?)

Maybe an anagram. Scomlead? Doc Meals?

Sorry, I'm not being much help...

:moo:

[Ragnar_40k]

I am a fan of Warhammer (40k) (http://www.blacklibrary.com). Maybe you can find a name cool name (and its story) there. I borrowed my name from Space Wolf (http://www.blacklibrary.com/ragnar/).
And a little bit OT: I wait for these Warhammer Games: Fire Warrior (http://www.firewarrior.com/) and Warhammer Online (http://www.warhammeronline.com/).

[damocles]

How about Tainted?

[SwordOfDamocles]

Thx for the help guys.

Damocles: M8 I've had this name for 3 years now so I didn't thieve it from you (promise!), whilst I like the mythology thing to do with my name I only chose SwordOfDamocles because of what this particular myth means. It's also a nod to my old man.

I'm still in need of a new name tho, so please keep going with the suggestions when you have nothing better to do!

Many thx again,

Dave.

[Narkar]

Try some ordinary word in your native language. The meaning of the word shouldnt mean much

Like "narkar" for me. It means "drug addict" or "junkie"

Maybe Ventilator or some other word like this

Really its a name so the meaning shouldnt bother you
Just find a word that has a "ring" to it

[Dinky]

Why not.... XPWhoreFromDoooooooM, :D Or..
Try a pet name! Or Get your real name and do it backwards, or do the same with your Surname, Or if failing, calling your self ETPlayer, Hey, newbs do! :fiesta:

[AmazinGLarrY]

Well the way I see it, is the name you choose needs to be somewhat personal to you, like your current one. And while it doesn't have to be personal in the respect it has to mean a lot to you... it's just gotta be somethin you like. I don't think anybody can choose a name for you.

So think of a favorite movie or song even if you're having that much trouble finding a new name and just pick a song title, movie character (like mine).

Generally everyone I know, especially in my clan has a story behind their name. So if you feel you really need to change your name, I'd take my time in doing so. :drink: Best of luck.

[Sauron|EFG]

I recently changed my name (although I can't do it on this forum). It's fun when everyone asks who the new guy is. :D

LOL i love 40K to......... Slasnesh rules ;) you imperial, emporoer loving SCUM ;) :D


Hey whens that Wharhammer online out???? if they do that proparly it could be one of the BEST RPG's out................

[blushing_bride]

how about putting the word "off" after the SOD bit (he he im so funny, slaps himself on back and smirks in self congratulatory glee :clap: ). why not stick with the ii.sod thing that you do. also why do you have to change your name, why does this other person get to have it, it seems abit unfair to me. Perhaps you can contact this other person and discuss the issue(maybe a one on one to decide who gets the name or you can discuss ways to both keep the name while both being clearly different people), but honestly i think SODoff would be quite cool (honest im not joking). If that does'nt appeal to you then perhaps you can think of something utterly silly like my name. Here are some stupid suggestions
Freedom_Fries
Hairy_Vag
Cake_Eater
Pant_stealing_bottom_botherer
SuperSniperShadowEliteTrooperOfDeathAndDestruction
cheese_eating_surrender_monkey
LameBot_User
SodsLaw

or best yet call your self [SD]>insert name of SD member< and pretend to work for Splash Damage, then start spreading false rumours about the twenty extra campiangs that are going to be released for free next month (and pray you dont get banned)

On the website (see link in my previous post) it says:
Warhammer Online is set for release in the Spring of 2004.
And to Splash Damage: When you could make a Warhammer (40K) game, that would be quite cool. Maybe you can get Activision to buy a license for you ...

[SmokeyTarget]

Cake_Eater


I think his mate "Cake" might get a bit upset about that one, unless of course they've both gone a bit " :banana: "

Anyway, Dave/SoD didn't appreciate the suggestions I made a few months ago... so I'll not repeat myself

:drink:

40k rules :) I used to collect it. Chaos Space Marines pwn your ass :D

[Ranstaton]

I'd just try to think of something that absolutely no one else would have. That way you don't have to think of a new one when yours is taken, cuz it wont be. Like my name for instance. There is some sort of meaning to it, but I don't really remember. Also it isn't exactly gonna get stolen by anyone because it doesn't make a lot of sense.

only problem is is that most people call me Ranstation or Ranstanton or many many other variations. Not many people get it right.

well you should hear some of the filth that spews from their mouths when they play online, disgusting, i really was blushing afterwards :banana: :banana: :banana:

[SwordOfDamocles]

@ Smokey:

Seeing as 'Fishtank' was easily the best name you guys came up with, you are right to abstain this time m8!

To be fair though, it's still the best alternative I've got so far!!! :banghead:

Gonna set myself a deadline and then if I haven't come up with anything, will stick with ii.SoD/SoD/S.o.D.

FFS!

But thanks to each and every who has replied :drink:

[Dawg]

I wouldn't really worry about sharing a name with someone else too much. There are plenty of Dawgs out there (and assorted variants), but I don't really care. One thing I did was make up a fake clan tag and put it on the front end. So, you'll usually see me online as [k9]Dawg -ready for x-mas in my red and green!. Actually, for x-mas last year (in RtCW) I went as Santa Dawg.

You could just go to the full SwordOfDamocles, it shouldn't be too long for ET. Unless you color it up too much. Everyone will just shorten it to Sword if they are trying to contact you in text chat ...

What about "D.o.S" / ii.DoS/ DoS , Damocles of Sod :D :blah:

the avatar you use isn't ragnar, Lord ragnar blackmane is the guy with blonde hair (yes blonde so he's young) and the dead wolf around his armor and 2 flags. I played 40k 7 years ago and played with spacewolves and greyknights lead by an inquisitor, 40k with old rules. c yah

Maybe, but I took my picture from here (http://www.blacklibrary.com/ragnar/). And Games Workshop is usually very watchful about the consistency of all pictures etc. Lets wait until the Ragnar Blackmane diorama is coming out ...

[Vink]

You should be proud of that abbreviation as its my initals your playing with :eek: & was also one of my favorite thrash metal bands in the late 80's. They where called stormtroopers of death & they only had one album called "speak english or die" it was a really great album & I still have it on vinyl :clap:

[Vink]

Btw there was also the great Danish king Ragnar the Boneless who was supposedly crippled but yet managed to conquer most of Britain on a shield carried by his personal bodyguard.

[Vink]

Sorry about this 3rd post in a row but i'd like to offer a suggestion to SoD.
Look to history some really great names are there that I have never seen online & some have a great background to them. Heres one to start you on the path Werner Von Urslingen, this guy was a mercenary captain who raped, murdered & pillaged around northern Italy(although Italy didn't exist then) & the southern Holy Roman Empire, he used to prey on pilgrims as well that where on their way to Venice to hitch a ride to the Palestine. He had the following engraved on his breast plate "Enemy of God, Enemy of Piety, Enemy of Pity" he was a complete nut :clap:
