I don't want to be called "Yo Kugel!"

[Kugelblitz22]

When I signed up for this site I picked one of the most bad ass names ever. Kugelblitz. German for ball lightning, the Kugelblitz is elusive, dangerous, fast and unpredictable. The perfect metaphor for my playing style, the Kugelblitz possesses electromagnetic properties that scientists don't fully understand.

With such a formidable and unassailable name, imagine my chagrin when so many of my CC brethren insist on calling me "Kugel". As in:
"GL Kugel"
"GG Kugel"
"N1 Kugel" Of course the problem with this is people are effectively calling me "ball" My name should command more respect than a "GG ball." And for the sake of my ESL folk, ball is slang for testicle in English...

The only other thing Kugel can refer to is the Jewish desert casserole, pictured here. Hardly the sort of image that strikes fear into the heart of opponents.

Oh why did I pick such a horrible name?

[XenHu]

I've had Kugel once.

It wasn't that bad.

Ha ha ha! That post made me laugh so much - partly because I have a similar problem. I picked my username on the basis that flash is my nick name (from Gordon, obviously) and leg8 the way I always wrote my tags for my second name (Leggate - Leg eight get it?).

I can appreciate your problem as when I first started posting here people call me flashleg or worse flashlegs! It seems like I'm forever to be called after some kind of flasher or foot fetisher.

If only I could go back and put a _ in there

[Syzygy]

I understand... kind of...

On another forum people started calling me Suzie Q.

Didn't bother me though.

[misterman10]

Thats funny kugel

[XenHu]

Although, I have to admit, it's not as bad as you think.

At least the meaning of your name is obvious.

I don't think the same could be said for mine. Or Syzygy's.

(Unless of course, I'm wrong, and Syzygy does mean something)

Syzygy stems from my interest in astronomy and (were)wolves.

Yes, I'm mentally unbalanced, I know.

wow, i`m shit scared now, that thing has some sharp bitson it, with some rabbit droppings or rat poison.

[diddle]

can we call you kugee's

[muy_thaiguy]

I have the same problem, and it wasn't until after I registered that people would mistake me for being thai, but I'm not, I'm just a fan of the sport.

[vtmarik]

It's better than Kugs.

But it's the state to shorten someone's name. Everyone sees "blitz" as a seperate word, so they just stick with the first word in your name.

Not me, I've been known as muy, thai, guy(each one seperate), MTG, thaiguy, etc...

Well, who knows then?

[lmarion]

Kugel-if you were cool-you'd know that every name gets shortened. Look at McDonald's (Micky D's), Kentucky fried chicken (KFC), Puff Daddy (P Didy) etc.

My name's Laurie and people would shorten it to Laur (which I hate). But, it's all because my parents weren't cool

[hecter]

Poor Kugels and flashlegs!

i'm thai
i was planning to ask if you actually knew muay thai..oh well.

[Fircoal]

HA HA! I haven't had problems with my name. Except that it's often spelled Firecoal. (When they first meet me. )IT'S NOT FIRECOAL! IT DOESN'T MEAN FIRE COAL! IT'S NOT A MISSPELLING EITHER! IT MEANS A DIFFERENT THING!

Also my shorted name is Fir. Which I don't mind even if it's a type of tree. It's also the name of a female character in Fire Emblem 6. But I can deal with them both. I can only deal with the latter, because Fire Emblem is awesome, and she looks cute.

Hey firEcoal, what does your name mean anyways?

I'LL NEVER TELL! I remember when Serbia guessed many times on what it was and always got it wrong.

Considering you're still a whippersnapper, it probably means something really idiotic. m i rite?

kinda I made it in 2003.

Odd post as I was looking back. I never saw this because static edited right after I posted this it was wrong but look:

sounds like a lame pokemon name or something

very close guess, (just not lame) and I missed it.

[Arbustos]

Nothing's coming to me. Is it something you made up, or does it actually have some significance?

[unriggable]

I don't want to be called fartacus but then again we aren't all lucky.

I know some, but admitedly not much, but still see it as one of the most devastating styles out there.
