I was in a rock band a few years back, and we had a tradition of sorts whereby if one of us did something really stupid, he would be given the Spoon Award, and be obliged to carry a wooden spoon on his person at all times. It could be relieved by performing something exceptional.
I was the first recipient of the Spoon Award.
My first name on Renegade wasn't anything spoon-related, but when I joined TDRP (Jelly's clan, the Dancin Rat Pack - whose members had 'rat' at the end of their names) I took the name Spoonyrat, and later simply Spoony.

the pd is from a clan me and my friend made for renegade a while back. his name was dish, and we called him petri dish on occasion so that ended up being the clan name.
the 2 was because his name being part of the clan name we made him leader and gave him a 1 and me a 2 (we would gave a clan number on order of acceptance into the clan).
simy is short for simytinly which is random letters i typed when making a name for lineage 2.

I was joining the Red Alert 2 Archive Forums back when RA2 was released. My real name is Ivan and I wanted to go by the name "Crazy Ivan", since that's how my friends used to call me, but since it was taken i chose "Mad Ivan" instead ("Mad" and "Crazy" are synonyms in Bulgarian).
I also use the nickname "Johny", since "John" is the english equivalent of "Ivan" (see John the Baptist). My Renegade nickname is johnym, where "m" is the first letter of my surname.

First name of me was 'Dutch Revan' ( not rlly, but i had like those usual names at ra2 ) anyway, i chose for it cause i played SW:KOTOR (1) that time, and i liked Darth Revan ( main evil char in that game ). I didnt liked copying a existing 'game' name, so i chose of what i am --> Dutch, so Dutch Revan.
After some months, i was addicted to Need For speed Underground, and i always took neon bars under my car. At that time i thought Neon would be more cooler, so i changed Revan to Neon.
Further more i got lots of Ren accs ( Not on Wol, but GSA and ASE based ) and other games where i got names related to German Tank names, cause im a fan of German tanks in WW2 ( no, im not a nazi, but imo german tanks looked very cool, so i took names, same for there airplanes which had awesome looks too( Example is SdKfz171Panther and some other Fully names like Pzkpfw6Panther etc ).
Last name: ToxicRevolved, dunno why, there was something on the news about Toxic disaster and i was reading something about revolution, but i changed to Revolved ( this isnt a ren acc though )
