Gamertags - why did you pick that name?

[Zombie_Fish]

Zombie_Fish was my url on Bebo. I got it because I was going through a really random period back then.

 

[ThreeWords]

I used to use ThreeFormsofWill, because my name is will, and I have a habit of mood swings between three different positions, hence the 'three forms'

However, that's too long for some places, so now I use ThreeWords, which a variation on the whole three thing, plus I like words, and the whole thing sounds pretty good

 

[Captain_Ne-San]

Captain Ne-san, I got from me friend Kei (her nickname came from taking a letter from her first, middle and last name) decided that she wanted to call me Ne, it's the 3rd and 4th letters of my name, Vanessa. Her friends called her Kei-chan, so I became Ne-san.

The Captain, was a thing with my little sister. She randomly decided she was going to put Commodore in her e-mail address and we joked around. Told her if she was going to be like Norrigton (from PotC) then I'd have to be Captain Jack cause I annoyed her that much, so I put Captain onto it.

Now, most of my friends just call me Captain.

 

[Player 2]

because Jed is my name and Jedstopher is my nickname IRL. i couldnt be bothered to to think of anything else.

 

[D_987]

AgnosticD

Well, it was a suggested word from the randomly generated Xbox live names - I briefly looked it up and Google claimed it was "uncertain" so I went with it. Hours later I learnt it was a religious reference...

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

Offworlder

First thing to pop into my head

 

[Blow_Pop]

because its my name?

 

[Trucken]

TeamTrucken: this one started about 7-8 years back. I was going to roleplay wrestling online (hey, I was young, OK?) and needed a name for my character. So I started thinking, and since I play for a football team named Telge Truckers I used that and created Trucker Taylor. That stuck with me for a while before I decided it was too long to use on other sites, so I shortened it down to just Trucken, which is Swedish for "The Truck". It also seemed fitting as I work a lot with trucks. Anyway, whenever I can't use the name "Trucken" because it's taken I simply add "Team" in front of it. It's a bit of a reference to an old comic where a dog pretends that he is a race car and refers to his fleas as "Team Grimm".

[FranzTyphid]

[THEMANWHOIS]

I was getting ready to play Warcraft 3 with some friends and we had to enter our names in. So, being slightly intoxicated, I proceeded to attempt to write "THE MAN WHO IS GOING TO KILL YOU ALL." But it was too long. So I shortened it and took out the spaces, and voila... THEMANWHOIS.
