noodlewood was my playername in BF2 when I joined GC. It's the literal interpretation of the two german words in Nudelholz (rolling pin)

Normally my Online Name is synergy or synergy453 since synergy is often taken.

WolvErAse came from BFBC2 where Albino, another friend and me chose names with a superhero theme combined with our nicknames and since it's now my name in EA I kept it

I first came up with Henidhor for a character of mine while I was part of a medium-heavy role-playing community in a game set in Middle Earth. (I am usually more of an RPG/RTS guy, but I thought I'd try something new and have been having a lot of fun with Battlefield and subsequently GC.) It is in the language of Sindarin, the form of elvish spoken in Middle Earth, and is a combination of the words Hen (eye) + Idhor (Thoughtful), translated roughly as Thoughtful Eyes. I liked the name, and since it was the name of my first character in that game, I made it my general gaming name and have been using it ever since.

As a side note, in Sindarin the "dh" is pronounced as a soft "th." Also, for some reason 50% of people seem to see it as "Heindor" (Or in CanShield's case, 'Heniwhore'...} I think Cheesy is the only one who I've ever heard pronounce it correctly, though to be fair I haven't ever corrected one.

I should start calling him Heiny too. :mrgreen:

As for my forum name.. I will give a brief language lesson.

My name is actually two parts. "Haru" and the "Ky"

Haru basically means "one day" in Korean. Not "one day" as in "ohh one day I will do this" but more like "We have ONE DAY to finish the project."

Ky is the first two letters of my name.

Combining the two makes it "haruky"

the 8? I love the number 8.

When joining a gaming community from the area (yes, dsf), everyone had a celestial body as their nickname. I picked Arcturus, as it is one of the brightest stars visible from Earth. That simple.

Edit: minor grammar mistake

I hate the number 8, i have no idea why. It's like a bad luck number to me.

About my name, the first game I bought on Origin is Fifa11. I named my account fawadforlan. Because fawad is my own name and forlan is a soccer player from Uruguay. I really loved the way he played against holland and other countrys in South Africa in 2010.
And when I bought battlefield 3 my ingame name was automatically fawadforlan, and I decided to just keep it.

Campaign 3 - Captain

It's a combination of my first name (Maarten) and my second name (Roland).

Yes, I'm that original. Better than what I had before that: Hairy Bunny. Right.....

That's what I realised over time. The problem is, though, that "Arcturus" was already taken in Origin, as in most other sign-ups. So I tend to use the nickname "arc." whenever I can to eliminate both the pronunciation issue and being called "FARC".

How do we actually pronounce your name? Some say "soup" and other say " 'sup"...

I've always been a huge Dallas cowboys fan, and Emmitt Smith (wore number 22) is the greatest running back of all time no questions asked :mrgreen: . Came up with it as a screen name back when AIM was cool and haven't strayed away from it ever since.
Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.

basically what arc said but then I chose Cyrillus which is a crater on the moon, not much special about it apart from the fact that it is similar to my second name Cyriel so I changed it to Cyrillius, the dsf is because origin apparently already has someone with cyrillius (HOW?!) but yeah thats pretty much it
