The History of Your Name(s) (post it here!)

teraflop122 · Post by **teraflop122** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 12:59 pm

Does your name mean anything in particular? Is there anything at all interesting about it? Is there a history about it? I see tons of names of members on this forum that simply must mean something. Post an explanation of your name(s) here for the world to see!

For instance-

teraflop122: teraflop is defined as "A measure of computing speed equal to one trillion floating-point operations per second." This is relevant because I am notoriously interested in all things computational, and I can often be found selling PC's on eBay. "122" is a suffix that I have attached to nearly all of my member names since the beggining of time- ever since back when I was a newb signing up for an AOL email account. I typed in "electron", but the name was already in use, so I was dumped on the ever-so-common "that name is already in use, try electron 121, electron 1221, electron 12221, etc etc" page. I started a custom that I would up keep for years to come by choosing "electron122".

At about 2 in the morning me and my cousin were watching some show and their was this guy on the show called G-Prime. He was a computer nerd that never left the computer (he is my clone)

. My cousin started to call me G-Prime and it just stuck.

Teraflop already know that my name is devils_son backwards. I chose this name about 4 or 5 years ago, and have used it since. I like it because it is extremely unique, and most people don't get what it means at first. If I can't use an underscore when I register, I use a dash, space, or make it all one word. I like it because I am the only person on earth with this name.

My first name starts with a G and at the time I was REALLY liking Star Wars, so I added "force" to it. Usually I add "6288" to the end if the name is already taken.

my starcraft account name was gonna be "daguy" like "da(the)-guy" but it was already taken so i added another u to it and i use it for every online name so i don't have to remember a bunch of different names

Ya that was it, I could never remember the name of that show. Well that wasn't the only reason that that nickname stuck. Everyone I know gives me a diffrent "G" Nickname. G-Squared, G-Man, Little-G (my dad took Big-G") G-Money, G-Unit. Almost any name with G- you can think of I have been called it...Tho I was never called G-Force untill I came to these boards

By far the best of he kind as when you fight him in Nightmare and Hell difficalty he haseither nova or static field go off when you hit him. By far one of the hardest minions under Mephesto(sp?).
