My first online game to play was Starcraft, played under the name STONECOLD{RD} (lol, I think I was...11, maybe 12?, christ that was a long time ago...)

When I got EQ (few months after it was released), after many deletings and diff chars, I ended up with a wood elf rogue named Adiil, courtesy of the random name generator :p

Later remade as a barb warrior, Adill.

Posted on VN boards as Adiil originally, then changed to Adill when I made Adill my main char. Kept that name through VN boards/Abiworld/Realpoor. Being that I sold my account a couple years ago, and don't use the name Adill on anything anymore, when the new realpoor came about, I decided to use Pags, my RL nickname, b/c everyone calls me that, no one really calls me by my first name, cept family ;p...

Pags is a shortened version of my last name, Pagozalski.

One season during little league baseball, on my all-star team there were three Brians. To keep the confusion to a minimum, we called one Peters (his last name), one Brian, and I was dubbed, Pags Surprised

Been called that ever since...

I wanted a generic sounding rogue name that came across as "kind" or "friendly". Unfortunately I am a sarcastic j**k, so the name is deceiving. omg I hope to be a "deceiver" soon LOL! "camp check" "orc 1" "derv 2"ROFLOLMAOLOMGLOL

I started gaming with the Realm, I was a jumper/PKer and my characters were all named Sadist - TheSadist, DarkSadist, LilSadist, a few other variations on the name (MECHFiend when I was in MECH briefly)

chose the most evil character possible for EQ, DE Necro, and tried to do Sadist as the name, not happening, so spur of the moment wanted something evil sounding - Vekril popped into my head, at level 20 I became Vekril de'Sade, quite fitting

Xylx the monk was just some short name, easy to remember, unclear how to pronounce - I tried to make all my character names short and easy, because I remembered how much I hated trying to remember how to spell Aeioaeioaelowin and send tells to people with 10+ letter long randomly generated names

I now consider the name "paden" synonymous with stupidity.

Back in EQ when velious was new I would always charm snow bunnies in EW. Of corse people would try to kill them when ever the charm broke. Somewhere in there the phrase "The Snow Bunnies are Angry" came about. On abiworld I had "The Angry Snow Bunny" as my title. After AbiWorld went down and Realpoor came up I ditched my EQ name for the boards and used the name TASB. Or as Spink likes to call it, "The Australian Sex Beast"
