The origins of your alias/screen name

Dan van Ohllus

Raiju@DvO i cant see the latin part of your nick, really....

Many Latin words and names ends with "-us", like Aquaticus for example.
(Latin was used in Rome in about thousand years ago, but can be found in the ?wordbook?)

i know what is latin, but "Ohllus" is not a latin word, or im damn mistaken...

Wow, so many responses. Keep it up guys!

I think DvO has latinised his name, not taken an actual word. You don't find names in the dictionary.

I got my name from when I was growing
poisonous mushrooms in my basement. I
used to feed amanita phalloides and
amanita virosa to rodents to keep the
population down. Poor rats...

XeridanusI think DvO has latinised his name, not taken an actual word. You don't find names in the dictionary.

*Ding* Correct! Xeridanus deserves a virtual cookie!

My name is latinised with a mix of parts of my real name.

he was often argogant but in truth..trapped and scared..ill giv u people a pic of him later like maybe next week if im bored..o btw he was orginaly brown with blonde hair..

a pic would be good.

My name is but a spawn of the age where Pokemon was popular

And I was great at that game

Regardless, I kept it

Cause really, Mechanical + Aeon = Mecheon

My nickname comes from a name of lazzy ass big cat who always sleeping on tree branch.

just because you put an "us" or "i" termination doesnt make a latin word

bah, the nick is yours you can make whatever you want with it, just dont say its latin because its not

why the X before Eridanus?

Raijujust because you put an "us" or "i" termination doesnt make a latin word

Ok, whatever! The Latin was something that come up in my brain though.

MecheonMy name is but a spawn of the age where Pokemon was popular

Never heard of a pokémon called Mecheon. Are you sure it's from Pokémon and not Digimon?

The 'X' in front is just to confuse astronomers perhaps. I just thought it looked/sounded better.

Well Every time I tried to regester for this place my comp kept failing, So once I was Almost done, I typed my name "almost_there" Cause well, I was Almost there.
lol

Yes. Its inspired by pokemon

While everyone was off naming a small round blue pokemon known now as "Marril" but then as "Pikablu" based upon no actual firm knowledge, I was immagening what would happan when you combinded heavy artilery with a small fox-like pokemon called "Eevee", noted for all of its evolutions ending with "Eon"

About the latin thing, names are different in other languages, cos they might be hard to pronounce or spell. So they change them slightly. For example jesus is greek for joshua which is a hebrew name.

ah, the origins of afronight.

well it dates back to the days of starcraft. well my best friend decided to grow an afro. it was basically the center of many inside jokes and humor etc. eventually he started a clan in starcraft called the afroknights. he was the leader (afroknight_69) and i was afroknight_76. when i decided to move onto wc3 i decided to keep that name since i couldnt think of anything better. i left the 'k' out for laziness purposes.
