I'm called Frank. My forum name is Frank. And my commander name is Frank.
What are your commander names?

Cmdr Vase Azure, same as in other space games. Not sure where I got the name, has something to do with Wasea character from Mass Effect 2.
A man with splendid taste, I see!
My CMDR name is Bowsky (a compact version of my surname, removed two syllables for easy comms) 1/8th Polish, 1/8th Norwegian and the rest Swedish. My ancestors truly liked to party...
Thanks for the reassurance
And I'm a massive Pink Floyd fan. I generally fly through space in SC humming Astronomy Domine to myself...
CMDR KonigWolf
It's a bit hard to explain the origin of my name.. But I'll give it a whirl. I've always had an affinity for animals. Wolves being my favorite non-mythical creature. So I usually tend to go with names with Wolf or "wolf-ish" references (SalvoWolf, Lycosa, DeathFang etc). When I was a kid, and to this day I collected a lot of statues, weapons, jewelery and clothing that are wolf related and people I know made jokes about me being the "king of the wolves"... Which kind of stuck with me. Basically, I took the word "König" (king in german) and modified it mildly to make it less common.. Which worked fine until a company name Tomy came out with a series of toys/games/anime called Zoids and named one of them the Konig Wolf and the Konig Wolf DSR (Dual Sniper Rifle) which was a translation mistake on their part as it was intended, to my knowledge, to be König Wolf... After it became more commonly used as an IGN and people assumed that's where I got the moniker.
I guess that's a good enough explanation.. Missing a bit more back story.. But the flu is still making it hard to focus my thoughts, lol.

Commander Hand Solo because I'm a 2 bit smuggler who cares not for the Empire. I also happen to have one hand in real life
Angus Thermopile.
Named after the vicious pirate/cyborg in Stephen Donaldsons brilliant 'Into the gap ' series of books.
I know it's the wrong spelling.....someone else nabbed the proper one.
I even joined beta to to try and procure it...lol.
Devil's Refugee.
It's a line from an old Oasis song, "Fade In Out".
I like to think that even Old Nick couldnt handle my CMDR so he cast him out.

John Roberts. It's worked for me for a good many years now, and to be honest, at my age, its one of the few things I can remember.
<RPG hat on>
Arindor Durante, at your service.
</RPG hat off>
I play D&D and Arindor is my favourite character (a level 23 sorcerer who tends to be a bit barking mad at times). Durante just sounded sophisticated at the time, and now I'm happy to play him as a happy-go-lucky entrepreneur.

Had several iterations since I began playing.
AuGuR - Old Quake name. Combination of augury and auger, divination/fourtune telling (prediction) and drill. Was one of the few playing on dialup that could rail reliably.
Augur Stormbringer - Quake name converted for RPG/MMO use.
Driskell - My last name.
Rush Limbaugh - RushLimbaugh is my current Quake Live name, and for those that don't know Mr. Limbaugh, he's a political commentator on radio here in the USA. I consider him funny because he "griefs" everyone stepping out of their political "format", no matter what party they are in. It also seems to give me a lot of attention, because Rush is a staunch conservative, I give those of a liberal spectrum a chance to show how much hate they have in themselves. Though I don't grief people in games, it's more of the "come at me, bro" effect, as it provides interaction that would otherwise be... meh.
Side Note : Honestly think these kinds of threads can be "dangerous". Someone may disagree with something you post on the forums, usually taking it overly personal or were horribly flamed, and use that to cause a bit of mayhem in game.
