I just have to ask, how do you say Dashe's name? I was just going to live with calling her Dash, and dropping the 'e,' you know, pronounced: That new station mod who once had glorious hair day, and apparently wrote a five hundred page novel mocking the final fantasy series (to which I say: Death is too good for her ) and now seems to take pleasure in my agony though I don't really have proof... yet. but that was too long. Is it Dashe, just like Dash, or Dashe as in d-A-shhh, with a capital A sound? Not that I care, I'm too cool to care, but since the current way to say her name is so long... Or I could just start calling her, she-who-must-not-be-named... Maybe not. Maybe if she starts making death threats right and left, and putting her sharded soul into little objects to perserve her life so she can life for ever , but until then maybe not.

Maybe it's Dash-ay. That's what I think anyway. Who knows?

I've always assumed it was like Dashy or Dashie. You know, BM, you could have PMed her if you really wanted to know...

No! It's pronounced Dash! The "e" be silent...
It's only cause she's cool...

The other Dash is right, it's just Dash, with a silent "e," which I added for the heck of it just to make it seem less like a boys' name. ^_^
While we're all talking about peoples' names, how'd you guys all think of yours? Mine's partly after a thief I made up in the Final Fantasy story BM 1-3 mentioned, and partly in honor of the Legendary Rockman DASH series, in case anyone was curious.

Oh, my! When I use voice chat with Feldi, we always say "Dash-ee" when mentioning you @_@. I feel devestated to know that it's just "Dash". That's what I call Dash Myoku.
Well, posts don't count here, so it's no biggie that there's a thread here *shrugs*.
And I think it's pretty obvious where most of my name comes from XD. The Xe is for the element (like periodic table of elements element) Xenon, number 54. I guess I just like xenon cause 54 is my favorite number and it's a cool DDR song. THOSE OF YOU WHO THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EXE ARE WRONG. DEAD WRONG.

I'm still calling you Dashie and I don't care.
Name stories?
ehhh... Mine's got two stories. I don't remember which one happened first.
Of course, the one you all here would appreciate more is the fact that it's my MegaMan name. It was the only thing I could think of that's sound related that wouldn't be uber overdone. Tone I guess, but I never liked the sound of that so yeah. Once upon a time I was designing a fancharacter under the name Pitch, but I've given up on that. There's more to the story, but no one really cares anyway, so yeah(I've actually been told that it's an excessively long story(in a boring way)).
Yeah, and the second is the false name I used to fill out when signing up for junk online. Ya know, there're fake names like Max Power, Justin Case/Time, etc. Mine was Pitch Black. And that sounded uber cheesy, but Pitch was catchy and there you have it.

Dashie sounds like something my mom would call me if she were to sign up for these forums, but you can go ahead and call me that if you insist. Just not Dashie-poo, please...that's a little TOO cutesy for my tastes Then again, Dashie would make it easier to differentiate between Dash Myoku and me. I'm still pronouncing my OWN name "Dash" though, since I made it up and all. Geez Pitch, I was way off with your name, with that baseball cap you'd been wearing I thought maybe you played baseball or something! And I kind of thought Pharaohman's Xe was Xenon somewhere along the line, and then thought, "nah, it can't be...what was Xenon's number on the periodic table again?" Maybe someday I'll get a screenname or something with an element in it, like potassium or hydrogen or bromine or manganese or...I'll shut up now...

I think Pharaoh's explained his name somewhere before. But I'm one of those people guilty of typing EXE on accident, just outta habit. XD And no, I hate baseball... monotony... I actually considered NOT going by Pitch, just because people would assume that... Can't imagine what else I'd be. ...actually I can, but I can't really change it now... actually I could... hmm... maybe I will.

That's right, who's a pimp?
...Not me, anyways. Dash Myoku is my nickname, but I got Dash from King of the Hill. Dale's "codename" on there is Dash and I was all like, "OMFG! That's a cool name!" And so thus, Dash. Myoku...I just kind of came up with that one night. Spelling 'n everything. But then I've searched google and apparently, I'm not the only one who thought up "Myoku" O.o
But now I guess having Dash as a name in thanks to DASH, it's cool. When I first started playing DASH, I had a magazine that told me the real name was Rock Man DASH, which confused me, but I was only like...10. Now I understand 8)

By the code. I thought this thread had died, and now two day's later it already has nine. The insanity know's no bounds. BTW, I started this thread from a PMed dare from Dash, and apparenty I was the only one, other than herself, who knew enough about english and Megaman fans (or perhaps just about Megaman fans) to guess it was dashe as in dash. Woop-de-doo Dashie-poo... Ragoo... Eh, I'll spare her, since Dashe is a good name (espcially after reading that... most interesting and... blasphemous of FF fics). Personally the only sweet name I like is pumpkin, because it so easily becomes pumpkin monster. What I wouldn't give to get my hands on a sweet, sweet pumkin monster... *starts drooling* As for it I've been thinking about throwing an Ag in my name. Ag is Agentum which really means silver! Then there are the other pluses, like Agulynn, Assassin's Guild, Avante Guard, in short a lot of good names, yuk yuk yuk. I always thought the Xe54 was just something a website suggested when you wanted to subscribe for an e-mail account. Stupid me. Xenon, isn't that the name of the colony that rebeled in the first Gundam series? Or was it Zion? So Pitch doesn't like baseball. Ho, ho, ho, very funny. Seriously? that's crazy. you're crazy. Then there's you Dask Mononoke, er... Myokui. King of the Hill. you're crazy too. As for me many of you have been working under the assumption that I got my name straight out of MML1. Well WRONGO! As I was telling Dashe the other day while we were tying to outdo each other in the greatest name slot of all competition my name actually stands for: B for Big man on deck U for U know it R for Rapier wit (and yes we all remember the line from Dumb and Dumber ) E for Esthetics A for America! U for all for you. It used to be one for all for one, but I don't have an one in my name. C for Counter-intuitave R for Really? A for Assinine T for Thoughtful I for not interested ;D or interesting, QUIET YOU! C for Condescending M for Manly O for Oh-so Manly D for Darn it I mean it! Stop Laughing! E for Evil L for fine Laugh all you want, but the sandman z'a comin' X@X 1 4 all - Dash... get it! DASH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... woo... I make myself sick. 3 4 5 And then of course theres always 789 but you've heard that one before. Do you know how to make a 79 split? Shout: the 8's a cop! Not Flashy enough?

Zeon! Hail Zeon, ye Bureaucratic Model! Have ye no shame in the presence of the great Gihren Zabi and the great heros of Zeon, the Black Tri-Stars? Er... actually, it was a specific space colony side, but Zeon was the name of the principality which formed beginning with that side. ... I had assumed it was kind of French, like Dash-ay, you know, pronouncing the e. And now, say my name if you know it: King Drake the 3rd! Er, AimManEXE!... Wait a minute, just about everyone posting here is a moderator... and I've only made like, 20 posts here right? How would you guys know my name? Hrmm.... Mine's irritating self-explanatory as a navi from the Megaman Battle Network series, which is probably despised to the four corners around here. I don't have any Legends names though.

I tried that with my name. And what do I see as the very first result? Some bozo using my name on this remote, little-known forum in the dark corners of the Internet. I tried e-mailing the bum, but he just keeps sending me back the same text in his own e-mail, probably just to annoy me.
Hmm... I’ve always pronounces Dashe’s name as Dash, except with an accented ‘A’ sound, so that it became slightly deeper and longer. But I like Dashie even better. Dashie-poo... he he...
Ickle wickle Dashie-kins made the pooy wooy in her daipy wipey... I’d slap my knee if I wasn’t busy laughing. XD
My name? Well, you see, it is a long and winding story. I usually like telling such tales, but I don’t feel like typing, so let me skip to the heroic part. o.o
You see, it all starte- well... ended, on a gloomy summer day in the tropics. It was overcast, slightly humid, and the air smelled of adventure. I was doing battle with the Great Sea Demon Gordanshnoff over a rough ocean. He lunged and leaped futilely as I flew back and forth, easily evading his strikes. I thought the battle was in the bag, and had tossed aside my soda can to prepare for the final blow when, out of nowhere, the beast shot through the water and into the air, snatching my scythe from my very hands. I felt myself weaken without its power, and fell to the briny depths below. Gordanshnoff saw his opportunity and made to swallow me, but I was better then that. I swung around, and, in midair, threw myself into a frenzy of wild spins all ninja-style. I spun at such a velocity, in fact, that the air around me formed a swirling waterspout, and sucked Gordanshnoff in. There was little time to react. I hit the water, dizzy as a child who has accidentally eaten some of those “adult” brownies that his careless mother had left out on the table to cool. After a few seconds I had regained my composure, just it time to watches helplessly as Gordanshnoff began his fall directly onto me, face-first, his great toothed maw wide open, inviting me unto death. At this point, there was only one option. The time had come to break the treaty with the Dwarves and use the Mighty Rune of Sealing to protect myself. However, all the cheap piece of junk did was seal his mouth shut, and we collided into each other.
I woke some time later on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. The both of us had been knocked unconscious and had washed up on some island. I looked over at my giant enemy, who was asleep next to me. I decided that now would be as good a time as ever to end this, but I would need my scythe, which he ate. I pried his mouth open and was making my way to the esophagus until I found the uvula. It was so cool that I couldn’t resist boxing with it like a punching bag. This was apparently a bad idea, and he woke up after a few minutes, blowing me out of his throat with a great cough. I ran for my life, but he was as quick on land as he was in the water. I sprinted along the shoreline until I spotted, with the greatest of luck, a passing cruise ship. In the next five seconds, I used my super speed to assemble a catapult out of some palm trees and a giant rubber band and blasted myself onboard the ship. Deciding to take over the ship, I knocked out the captain, realized that I didn’t know how to work the ship, and began pressing random buttons. A few minutes later and with at least half the passengers overboard, I managed to get the thing to go forward, and was soon speeding off towards the mainland.
Upon reaching the mainland, I was weary, and fairly confident that I had lost Gordanshnoff for now. But, just when I thought it safe to get another can of soda, who should crawl out of the sewers then our old friend Gordanshnoff, angry and ready to go. There was no time for that soda. I lifted the nearest cargo truck with my bare hands and launched it into the monster’s face, but it merely bounced off of his thick flesh, landing in the crowded streets and blowing several hundred innocent bystanders to kingdom come. But such would have to be the price if it meant the fall of this tyrant of the seas. There was no time to fret over the lives of innocent people, and I began leading the monster deeper into the metropolis, where it would be harder for him to maneuver with all those cars and humans getting stuck to his underside. But I was tired, and he was strong. He caught up with me near the city park, and grasped me in his scaly fin. I then did what any self-respecting human would do and begged for my life. I offered him my car, a wife, a good home, money, anything he could ever want. However, as he dragged me through the city, it became apparent that he did not intend on killing me, and I quickly took back everything I said.
He reached the Empire State Building and began climbing to the top. Upon reaching the top, he gave a great cry, and I realized what he wanted. He was going to eat me before the eyes of the entire city. How humiliating. I began begging for my life again, but it was of no use. Just as he had raised me to his mouth, he was hit in the eye by a bullet. He wailed, and we turned to see military jets flying in formation around the building. The fools were trying to kill him themselves! I yelled at them, and told them to stop. They were too weak. I alone was the chosen one, and I alone must be the one to kill the beast. Just as I was getting frustrated by their ignorance, a missile hit Gordanshnoff in the chest and exploded. I felt his grip weaken, and he fell off the building, dead. This left me somewhat surprised and embarrassed, but mostly scared for my life, as the dolt had neglected to release me, and we were now falling together off the top of the building. I suppose it would not have been too bad had I landed on top of him, but I didn’t. The rest is detail that I won’t pester you with.
A year later, after they let me out of the hospital, I went back to his body to retrieve my scythe. As luck would have it, they left Gordanshnoff right where he fell outside the building. I went in, carefully avoiding the uvula, and retrieved my scythe from his rotting stomach. At that moment, there was a great lurch, and the light vanished. Before long, I felt the sensation of movement. It was a while before I realized that he was still alive and was heading back to the ocean. The beast had farced death for an entire year just to kill me! That made me feel special for a minute, but then I realized that I needed to get out. Lighting a match, I looked around the stomach in a cartoonish manner, and quickly located its weakest point. Then, lifting my scythe, I called upon its power, and in the name of the moon and all that stuff, and readily slashed him to shreds in a single blow.
Of course, the dang fool had still been in the city, and they made me clean his guts off all the buildings. I yelled at them, telling them all what idiots they were to think that he had been defeated, but they just hit me with the whip and told me to keep scrubbing. But I knew better. I knew he would be back. And to this day, I train, ever vigilant, and ever dedicated...
And I still don’t think it was legal to use a whip...
What does that have to do with how I got this name? Well, see, after I finished cleaning, I went out for a BLT sandwich, but they accidentally gave me an MLT sandwich. I was still quite annoyed from the gut fiasco, and cursed at them extensively before actually trying it. As it turns out, mustard tastes pretty good with lettuce and tomatoes. So good that I ordered another one. They then made me pay 22 dollars for it, which was a complete rip off.
So, some time later, I was signing on to an Internet site, and needed a username. It just so happens that I remember that one particular moment, and used that as my name.
... Fine, so that was a little long. Not like you’ll be getting any solid explanations out of me. The name’s cryptic background is what makes it such a superior name. So neh.
