My Surname has always been getting confused with that great actor Gary Oldman.
Due to the above two facts (and a few other more obscure ones), everyone called me "Old Man". So much so, that I even had teachers in college that called me by that.
I'm part German.
When stepping online back in 1998, I combined the Nickname, with a Bad German translation of "The Old Man" and hence "Der Alta" was born. I even owned the website www.deralta.net for a while. |
Always interesting to know. I'm also part German, well half german, half english.
Mine is really simple. ( j = Jeremy ) ( 05 = Jan. 5th ) ( h = Hartley ) ( 86 = 1986 ). Though a lot of people think it says Josh.
As far as my gamertag. That was a name of one one of my characters that i had on EverQuest, which i have played since i was 13. I carry the name Gumelil over to every RPG i play. Like you Der, i owned
www.gumelil.com for a few years. A lot of people can't say it right, so they call me gummy.
