If your name was Richard Smith, wouldn’t you get tired of being one of the many Smiths? Wouldn’t you be unsatisfied with Richard, Rich, Richie, Dick, Dickie, or Smitty for your nickname? Well, one 41-year-old Richard Smith, a care worker from Carlisle in the UK, has decided to change his bland name to something with a little more awesome: Stormhammer Deathclaw Firebrand.
Smith, known as Spiff to his friends, decided to pick the unusual name for no real reason. “It’s just a strange name I like the sound of,” Stormhammer explained. It’s apparently not related to the Stormhammer vehicle from Warhammer 40K, the video game/comic book characters Firebrand (Capcom and Marvel/DC), or the mutant Deathclaw from Fallout 2. Or maybe it’s related to all three, and the former Richard Smith is vying to be the new Leader of All Nerds.
