How'd you get your name?

[Coyotemen]

I remember seeing similar threads back in the days when I was A Bloodstained Spear, Bayonet, and all my other nations...so why not do it again?

How'd you get your nation's name?

As for me...I thought of Wile E. Coyote, the Phoenix Coyotes (although oddly enough I am a Chicago Blackhawks fan...), and the regular old animal. Coyote was already taken by a CTE nation, so I added men to the end of my name to make things interesting.

[The Candy Lane]

Candy Land was used so i settled with The Candy Lane and no regrets so far.
GO Canucks GO Luongo for MVP

[Assassins and Bandits]

Defender of Honours is the 4th Amry of ComGuards in the BattleTech series.

Assassins and Bandits is just a character of an online game.

[Twobagger]

When I first picked this name as my general screenname, I was aware of it being a slang term for a double in baseball.
Various other meanings have been applied to my name (thanks, guys )=< ), but that was the one I had in mind.

[Lockerican Corps]

who's your team twobagger, if u follow the MLB?

A lot of what centuries-old British philosopher John Locke made sense to me, seeing as how some was incorporated in the Founding Father's ideals. I also started watching the TV show Lost, and that John Locke is pretty awesome as well...but that's not the original source of the name.

[Twobagger]

I don't really follow a team (I'd rather play for my HS team than watch), but I do enjoy watching the occasional Texas Rangers game. Even if they miss the playoffs just about every year (and get squashed by the Yanks when they do make the playoffs), they're my favorite.

[Lockerican Corps]

Cool. I play HS bball too, what's ur position? yea, the yanks are up there, too bad-- i'm a red sox fan

[Twobagger]

I play 1st base and centerfield.
And the Yanks do suck. (=
How about you?

[Lockerican Corps]

3rd base, sometimes outfield. you a lefty?

[Enigmatic]

Well the first nation I ever created, which I never did much with, but which nonetheless resides in 10KI, was Unodosdos. That comes from my dorm room number: 122. The next and the one that became my persona was the Enigmatic Nation. I chose that because I've always considered myself a little enigmatic and because I like puzzles and riddles. The Enigmatic Legion became my UN puppet for TITO missions and you can guess why I threw Legion on the end. I have other nations, but for those I just pulled something off the top of my head.

[Twobagger]

Actually, I'm righthanded... I'm guessing you are, too?

[Hockeynutville]

I'm guessing I was probably drunk at the time and figured Hockeynutville sounded good...

I mean, unless someone can give me a better explanation

[Petalumadom]

hmm... no I'm afraid i can't yours seems pretty realistic... for me I just added dom at teh end of teh name of the city i lived in... lame i know but I am artistically and creatively challenged... lol

[Boltor]

I'm not telling

[White African People]

Its all in teh name

[MinnaCaroline]

It's the name my parents gave me but I just put the first name and middle name together to create one looooonnnng name... and technically since Caroline is no longer legally my middle name I had no worries about giving away too much of my identity. (wow that was longwinded)

[White African People]

my brain gave it to mee

[Al-Hajjistan (Busy - College)]

I basically came up with the most terrorist-y thing I could think of. It's satire.

[Petalumadom]

lol

[Twobagger]

Good old satire.
Way to go, Pablo

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Well, i began in 2002 with East Asian Alliance. Only i spelt it wrong, 'allience'. That was dumb.

In 2004 i came back with Sinn Féin's Ireland. Thrown in a little political message there, and from that spawned 'Sinn' which is my pseudonym. The Sinn Administration covers my main nation, 'Sinn's Right Hand', 'The Cedars of Lebanon' -it was just after the second Lebanon war, my youngest puppet- and 'Leftie'. 'Leftie was originally intended as a puppet with which i would try and infiltrate regions (i was a nasty invader type back in '04) and i felt 'Leftie' had no traceable connections with the other 2 nations.

So there you go! You learn something new every day!

[MinnaCaroline]

Leftie is yours?! I also have a puppet called the The Left handed Fingers of Leftiesonly!! Can you tell I'm left handed?

[Twobagger]

Nooooooooooooooo
)=<

[repaxan]

I wanted something that was creative and pronounceable.

[Io Way]

I was REALLY hard pressed and bored

[Isles of Nixon]

First I was looking for something in the political realm of things. Being an American of Irish descent, I looked to name it "Land of the Sinn Fein'ers" or something along the lines of that but was unsuccessful (Thanks a lot Sinn!) So then I journeyed back into the realm of American politics. I wanted to name my nation after a diplomatic head of state. The two that immediately came to mind were Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon. Then I thought about what classification I wanted to be and came up with Isles. Well Isles of Kissinger was taken (I believe it CTE'd days later) and so there came Isles of Nixon.

[Bletheropolis: the cat sleeps]

it's the name of my blog which I use as a public internet bookmarks list that I thought I'd share with my friend.
Belther because I like the Scottish version of Blather which means to talk nonsense
opolis I'm guessing you all know to mean city.

therefore Bletheropolis = city of the people who talk nonsense.

[SovietPrussia]

It was me and my best friend at school making Soviet Russia jokes. You know the style. " In Soviet Russia, Biscuit eats YOU!"

Then we thought, what about Soviet-Prussia jokes....

"In Soviet-Prussia, Sauerkraut essen DU!"

[Guncrazy Marksmen]

I'm not gonna lie, I like guns. I like all shooting games, and i'm especially good at sniping.

[SovietPrussia]

Sniping's gotta be the thing I'm bad at in these games. I prefer rushing in with a machine gun and throwing grenades with god mode on. lol
