Fun Friday: What's the meaning behind your username?

When I started in the R&D Forums 4 years ago, I had choosed my gaming name from my earlier time as a gamer (teenager time).

The name sticks with me since then

Cool What games are you passionate about?
fsp arpg mmo mmotpg, survival, sciiFi open world?

link state is a routing protocol

I was wondering what Mildur means! Is there any translation/meaning for this? 

I came up with my username when I was trying to create it - when submitting my username I kept getting the Veeam web server error “400” which means Bad Request. After the fifth try I changed my desired username to LostInEther and it worked.

LostInEther is short for Lost In the Ethernet. Earlier on the day I created this account I received several web server errors on a few different websites. Go figure.

Today, it‘s most likely metroidvanias and Fantasy RPGs or Action Adventure. Most of the time single player. As a teenager, I was playing to long world of warcraft My username here was created for wow back then. 
Zero time for that today.

I‘m waiting for Horizon Forbidden West and God of War now :-)

Mildur is an old norwegian word and means mercy

I was not so creative with my username, just the first letter of my given name and my surname.

#DetectiveKseniya LOL

hi, 

my username started in 2000 and is composed with first letters of my name (an) and surname (da) and net is last part of interNet. :D  

Nothing as cool as @MicoolPaul  So my real name is Dipen but what tends to happen is just randomly, everyone starts shortening it to dips and I thought I’d roll with it. Nice and short :D 

My username is inder8588 ( name and my Car last number )

Thanks for sharing @Inder and @LostInEther! Loving the personal touch with the car Inder!

@MicoolPaul : You are cool as of your username .. Mr Cool :) 

Not very fancy for me, my first name and my country code

Over on the R&D forums, my username is Spooky Door. I stole this from a card game I played once. I can’t remember what it was called, but it was a goofy horror themed card game where you try and collect a certain set of cards and you win. One of the cards is called “The Spooky Door” and that really appealed to my sense of humor.

bp4JC is a reference to my faith as a Christian. bp are my initials, and JC are the initials for Jesus Christ.

No, i have used a name generator for fantasy storys

Yeah, I can do that for you if you wish! 

This comment made me smile! I have always wondered because I started my career in networking. You should use “distance-vector” now Wish to see a related routing protocol joke, see this below below :) 

OH DAMN!!!

Didn’t wanna make it ALL about me!

It’s normally stylised as mI-Cool, as it highlights how you’d pronounce it better. As Michael sounds like the question “am I cool” as where I grew up most people didn’t pronounce the a in “am”, so when you say them, they sound the same. But “Michael” is normally taken on forums and stuff so I wanted to keep my name but in a unique way!

I just went with my nickname that most people end up calling me by :) 

@MicoolPaul what a story!!!

@dips, does this nickname mean something?

Horizon will be a hit! I’m currently on Mass Effect, again 

Good question!

Years ago I started my own blog. It was meant to be my own virtual notebook. Therefore vNote seems to be the perfect name for it. Naively I did not think the name could already exists  . So wanted to add a number. Unless you are Michael Cade, it is not cool to add a simple 1   (like at twitter). So a better number had to be found. And what number could be better than the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”? 

If you don’t know what I am talking about, please read Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! I would say its a must read world literature!

My name unfortunately doesn't have a great story behind it. I don't know where it come from but like @Mildur I've used it many games. And so I've also chosen the name for the Veeam forums; which was 10 years ago by the way

Ha, pretty cool!

if you google translate it, it means ‘Mild’ from Icelandic:
