A lot of people have some weird names and there is usually a story behind it.. So, what does your name mean? And why did you choose it? :D

I will start :)

I used a stupid name back on Q3 and thought, as Im making a new account on Quake Live, I need a new name aswell :p
So I was sitting here thinking next to my pc and looked at my desk where I had a book I was reading. It was a history romantic book about a lady called Quinn who loved a lord. Unfortunatly that lord had lost all his money on poker and didnt want to tell her that he loved her untill he proved himself worthy :p As I really liked that character I thought to myself, LadyQuinn it is! :p

My old nicks on Q3 was EterNaL or Extravagance.

For Opti, it didn't came from myself really, I did a nick with a "pun" of my old nick "EterNaL-Opti-Misty", it has some diffrents senses =p Xavi, Aykut and Dusan have asked to me if I wanted to be in eO club, and they called me by Opti, so I have keep it since this time. =)

And I like it, because it reminds me the necessity of being optimist.

But what does the 7 stand for?

My nick comes from the Latin form of my true name, etymologically, it goes like this Jeroen (Dutch) -> Jerôme (French) -> Geronimo (Italian) -> Hieronimus (Latin) -> Ἱερώνυμος (Greek). But the Greek letters are a bit hard to type. Razz

So I just went with the Latin form. No relation to the Dutch painter (Hieronymus Bosch) though... Oh, and it means "the holy name": Ἱερώς = holy, νυμος = name.

And I mostly find it OK if non-Dutch people just call me Jerôme or whatever, it's easier to pronounce than Jeroen. Surprised

Actually pretty stupid. It was when I was about 14 and my friend played some game and he nicked "emob0y". I wanted to match that. Being 14 and all I was probably thinking that bunnies fuck a lot and that seemed cool and all that. Then it stuck for a couple of years. Probably gonna change it when I go premium :D

when i was little, there was a guy who called his friend Brko, who had mustaches, and suddenly he started calling me Brko, although yet I didn't have any mustache yet, since I was 9, and i was like wtf:S but nevermind, he thought was funny so i thought was funny to use that in q3, so from Brko, my old friends in q3 started abbreviating it brx so there we go. 42 stays for my old q3 clan 42ne which means fortune(which i loved so much), since my brx account from few years ago got lost.
