Speaking of legitimate, given that it is supposed to be slang, there is always the possibility that that Kel is, in some manner or another, actually causing people to associate his name with this. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

Well, the name Stughalf was taken from a story I wrote back in fifth or sixth grade when I was at the height of my Brian Jacques imitation phase. I suppose when I created this account I was searching for a name I liked the sound of which was in addition entirely original. As for my current PDN, which is likely to remain in place for as long as this account exists, it is a combination of "Stughalf" and this . As a man with escapist tendencies and an affinity for utopian designs, I find it rather fitting. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed."- The Bhagavad Gita. Posts: 1798 | Registered: Sunday, October 5 2003 07:00 |

When coming up with original version of my name for use in games, I just took a Russian translation of Latin root of my name. However, the result, when written in English letters, was impossible to pronounce correctly, so I started rearranging letters until I got something that sounds good. Ironically, this name is still universally mispronounced, because I forgot that "e" is usually read as "ee" in open syllables. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

I think I might have what's commonly referred to as a "sixth sense" about a lot of things. My PDN sort of reflects this. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

For a first post it's arguably coherent, and you can't judge by emoticon usage (the ellipses on the other hand...). So it's not hard to believe. Got any stories online?

All things considered, Eragon the novel was quite imaginative. The movie sucked, however. And yes, the book could have been better. Can't really remember how I chose this moniker; I remember my friend selected the name 'Sarasaphilia' for me. I didn't know what it meant at the time. Once I found out, I made sure that my friend was properly traumatized before promptly returning here and changing it. -------------------- We as a race have grown complacent with our computers and thinking machines.

Agreed. The different races in Eragon remind me of Warcraft III (Night Elves rock!) in a way, which amuses me. I should build an Eragon campaign - the storyline shouldn't be too hard to capture in an RTS editor... -------------------- "We were meant to live for so much more.
