Many years ago, I was obsessed with Transformers. Optimusjamie came around as a combination of Optimus Prime and Jamie, my first name.

Originally Gheis Mace from the first character I created in the first Knights of the Old Republic game. I liked it and so I started using it. If I hadn't, I probably would've been TriforceGhost or something silly like that.

Then I went all new age and dropped the "surname". Now I'm just Gheis. Rhymes with ice, but everyone seems to get hung up on the pronunciation more than I do.

Friends gave me that nickname long time ago.

For me - I think it's pretty obvious.

My name was chosen for me as in a predominantly American clan - I helped found a European division in BF1942 which then moved to Star Wars Battlefront and then Halflife2 Deathmatch.

The American's thought it quite funny at the time to call me "The Haggis Boy".

Shortened to Haggis.

Stuck ever since.

Made-up.

Or you can say... Once upon a time, some 6 years ago, I got just too bored sittin in classroom listenin to some boring teacher yabbling his head off that I started playin around with my RL name and that's what came out, so I've been using it as my nickname around the web ever since.

I was trying to be cool on a forum long long time ago, so I used the spanish word for death. I also misspelled it. It's supposed to be spelled muerte.

The side benefit is, nobody ever has my nickname registered on forums, the only time it's ever in use is if I forgot I registered earlier.

I found this laptop in my school's library and have been logging in using the username I found stored on this forum ever since.

It's a character made up by Isaac Asimov. Also it's rather close to my real name.
