Was looking for a cool name when I was playing BF1942 way way back...dug around a bit and found this guy that fought in Vietnam called Captain Cox, liked it and stuck to it all these years (almost 6 years now). Of course the name can be interpreted in many ways...that's why I like it Wink.

My nickname is a combination.

One of my real nick's is Psycho and the Shaman part comes from my spiritual beliefs.
Plus its a play on words (aside from the way it written)....well, thats not the correct term.

Jung theorized that all Shaman's are functional psychotics.

Well, my name is not a changed version of Neo from The Matrix (that's what most people think). It's not those light banners either. It's an element. I borrowed it from periodic table when I was revising for my test in Chemistry, I just thought it sounded cool.

It doesn't. Sad

And the numbers are made up because Neon was already taken.

Mine started in the MMO Dark Age of Camelot like nine years ago. There is an expression in swedish called "Jävlar anamma" which is pretty hard to translate. It has a few different meanings some of which are:
Doing something even if it kills you
Having balls, Chutzpah
Giving it your all

Etc, as I said, it's hard to translate.

Anyways I named my character Javlar (since I couldn't use the Ä) and gave him the surname Anamma. And then it's just stuck with me, I still use Anamma as a surname in the MMO's that allow surnames but other than that it's more or less gone and has just left javlar.

a mix of my old name from my CB days and my first BBS I ever ran.

Always went by Warlock on the CB's so started using that when I first started logging in BBS's.

starting running my own 2 line BBS called Dimension X (DX) and everyone on it was calling me |DX|Warlock.
since there was 101 warlocks running around on BBS's, so they knew they was talking about the one that ran the Dim X BBS. an i stuck.

Made for easy login info and email addresses, etc. because NO one uses DXWarlock as a name but me.. Razz

(im missing the other | because..hmm cant remember why..forgot it or it wouldnt let me put it at the time..something like that.)
