Diamonds in the world of minerals and gemstones, are the hardest known substance to scratch, on the MOH scale, And since it's the ONLY thing that reaches a 10 on the scale, that's where the 1 comes from, hence: diamond1
Well, originally my username was leeadama, from Battlestar Galactica as I had just left the BSG freelancer server and I joined Discovery I used it. However, as I began branching out it didn't really suit my characters as they largely had limited to no connection with BSG so I thought to have a clean break and for whatever reason Wellingtons popped into my head as a generic username so I just sort of stuck with it.
The name came from the secret town in the movie, which I watched during history class (of all places). It sounded cool, and the spelling helped in the fact that I didn't have to tack useless numbers on the end.
The currently most infamous story to explain it is that I bashed my head on a keyboard once and picked a random string from there (which is why there was numbers in the first place or something) and that's about it. Oh and it was on Steam originally back when I got it for CS: Source back in the day, got tired of the nickname my brother put on my account so I just stuck with something completely random.
(Albeit, I change it on Steam every now and then.)
Has no other real meaning/origin/history, whatsoever.
Bought Dragons of Autumn Twilight when it came out back in 1984 and read the book cover to cover in a day.... i fell in love with the character.... i dont know... there was some of me in her i guess and use this name where ever i can.. i bought the other books in the series as they came out as well. Then started playing the PnP version of Dragonlance ( i still have all the books) and played as her through the series with a dedicated group every Sunday night.... that was a good time.
Mine is just a nickname/Short version of my name. I've just been using it on all games i play because the hardest part in a video game is thinking of a character name:S
