When I first started watching BW replays and trying to learn more, I had a ton of [NC]..ShinyA's reps and studied them. A band I used to listen to, Dir En Grey, their drummer's name is Shinya, and there's this MMA guy, Shinya Aoki, who's pretty bad ass and broke this guys arm then flipped him off in the ring once.
So when SC2 came out I figured shinyA would be a pertty cool name to use
I stole my name from the name of a ship mentioned on Stargate Atlantis.
Shoulda spelt it "Adaris" but Edarus came out... now i'm not even sure how its pronounced...
Some people say Ed-aris, E-darus, Adaris (soft i)... Haven't come across any other users of it though.
Previous aliases?
Jackal
Jackal43 (43 referring to german rifle Gewehr 43)
*stopped using the above around 2005/06, used mostly in shooters or Combat Flight Sims)*
Edarus
Weiland
Tapion
Fun side-note, a mate (and fellow clansman) [TA] Mahonanida got his name through the WoW "randomise" function and we've NEVER seen another person with that name EVER.

Well i first i used my rl nickname Darty and still use it for Steam however i tried a few non steam games and decided i would choose my favorite character from MASH Hawkeye however since the avengers movie everyone thinks its that Hawkeye..
Well I've been through my share of cheesy stolen reference names including Double_Agent121 because I was a big fan of Splinter Cell at the time. I never really learned to move away from bad online names but I finally decided to just stop changing it atleast. Originally though it was "teh_HyDr0iD" until I matured a bit and just changed it to "Hydroid".
I was a fan of NCIS at the time i made my name Spook - Spy agent what ever, only problems i have had is when an American talks to me.... As apparently its a derogatory term for a black person i didn't know at the time of course
First online nick i used for gaming was actually LiquidMetal... ^^
My current one came from woolworths shopping with my mum and we bought some salami and the price tag said "meatex salami" ^^
My first aliases online were all Star Wars references (ForceYoda / Chewwyy) because I loved Star Wars as a kid, and then I switched to using my IRL nickname which isn't big in pop culture.
