olmec36 Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Interesting stories on how people have named themselves. Well I'll add my story to the list. Since I have an affinity for Meso-American culture or any Indigenous cultures I liked the name of the Olmecs, from Mexico. When I was doing some traveling in Mexico, I went to the national museum and seen the various stone statues. The Aztec calendar is very impressive as is the Olmec head statue, which is immense. I used that name since I was creating an account on TechTV, i was also looking at some pictures of some pyramids I visited and the Olmec statue, so I used that name as my own.

Gwyrox732 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Pretty boring. Gwyrox is the name I used to use in thos old dos games that only took 8 characters, it's really just a mish-mash of letters that looks pretty cool - someone told me it looks like the name of some Welch Dragon or something? And the 732 is just because when my family switched to AOL as an ISP briefly (much to my dismay) it was an unspoken naming convention to add numbers to the end of your screen name (though technically the numbers are supposed to be the numeric representation of your birth -date or -year) and I guess I just like the number 732 for some reason, though I very often drop the numbers nowadays.That was a lot of typing for such a boring story...
