How did you get your gamer name?

[Drenaje1]

Drenaje1. A name, if I recall correctly, that I rather shamelessly nabbed from a friend on RuneScape who came up with it for a character one day, long ago. He got rid of it soon enough, but this has stuck with me for maybe two years after I got sick of Roland 13x. And THAT name I took out of the manual for Call of Duty: Big Red One. It was from a screenshot of someone creating a multiplayer account.

I am so unoriginal.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

I just made mine up ^.^ I'm actually pretty decent at coming up with these kinds of names! Ask me if you are curious about other ones :3

 

[PuffinBox]

I had a animal book next to my desk and decided to look through it to see if it had anything interesting I could use as a name. There may or may not have been a box next to me.

 

[Mr. In-between]

Munruthel415 after the Ukrainian musician (I have a Nokturnal Mortum tattoo).

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

WakelessAltair is the name I usually use, the very first time I went on Xbox live was just after I'd played Assassins Creed, I wrote Altair as my gamertag and it came up with a list of suggestions. WakelessAltair sounded the best.

 

[Generalissimo]

my steam in game name is UFS Antaris.

it's the name of the main protaginist in realspace 3.

UFS is an acronym for: "united fleet ship"

 

[Cazza]

I have had the nickname Cazza in real life from primary school. When it came to gaming I wanted something that reflected me. It was a no brainer.

 

[lRookiel]

I use it to annoy people when they find out I'm pretty good at games and I stomp on them.

They rage and I say "Hey dont look at me, I'm just a Rookie :3"

 

[Ix Rebound]

my Xbox 360 gamertag is Ix Rebound
Ix-because its the group my friends and I belong to
Rebound- if you have read the book "Ice Station" by Matthew Reilly (great book!) you will understand (cookie for reference!)

 

[teqrevisited]

Well when I first got Call of Duty it ran, begrudgingly, on an 800Mhz CPU. Until I upgraded I was the guy with backwards technology. So I took that word, abbreviated it, spelled it slightly differently et voila.

I didn't play CoD2 so until CoD4 came out I was doing other things (Read: WoW). When I came back, the graphics card I had at the time was running at its limit to play it, harking back to my days of CoD1. Therefore, Teqrevisited.

I only tend to use it in shooters, so I have plenty of others that I go by, but this one's always been there.

 

[Scorekeeper]

Fire Emblem 7 (just Fire Emblem in America) had a recruitable character named 'Erk'. This mage was so far beyond lucky it was ridiculous. His stats were above average but his combat performance was spectacular. He never missed, often critted, was rarely hit, and never died. Once, he was struck by a powerful enemy, which brought his HP dangerously low. He responded by dodging every attack from multiple opponents and critting left, right, and center. When a mage can solo a chapter, you know you have something special on your hands.

 

[Biodeamon]

I got mine when i was doodling away in art class over the summer when i was 12 or so just making symbols and writing what they meant, making a whole aplhabet. I then combined two of the symbols and meanings together and got the name biodeamon. The name just kind of stuck and i've been using for little over than 5 years since.

 

[Vigilante 989]

VIGILANTE 989

Sounds badass to me.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I got my Escapist name from a Carcass song by the same name. I don't know, but it just stuck. My Xbox 360 gamertag is TheOneInsane, but I don't like it and just chose the song I was listening to at the time (The One Insane, by Unleashed). I use the name GhostGalleon on other websites and I like that one way more, but it's still just from a song (Ghost Galleon, by Cathedral).

I'm not very original.

Oh, and I have one called MrFuddyDuddy because of Sotherbee in Legend of Mana.

 

[MammothBlade]

I like the moon to the point of fanaticism, and it is the source of my power. Hence the name, "Moonfanatic", also implying a hint of craziness. Would I fight for the moon, heck yeah. Though I never really had a fixed attachment to any name.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

I wanted to pick out a name that I was pretty sure no one else would use. I wanted it to be a full name (First and Last) and no use of numbers, symbols, etc.

I always liked the name Lazarus. So I added "Alk" to the beginning and turned the "us" to "is". Then I added Zack to the beginning because I thought "Zack" meshed well on appearance with "Alklazaris"

So far I haven't run into another Alklazaris in the 11 years of internet gaming. Let alone a Zack Alklazaris.

My internet footprint is huge though because of its rarity.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Soxafloppin, it used to be Coxafloppin but a few people complained to the Mods about it, so I changed it to what it is now..I mean whats inappropriate about a sock floppin' around?

my PSN name is D-MCV because my name is David McVeigh, I made it and then I realised that anyone who sees it online is just gunna be like..."hmmm Random letters? okay", but stuck with it anyways.

 

[Yureina]

Yureina was a name of my own creation for my Holy Priestess in WoW [http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j427/YureinaL/WoW/YureinaFinale4.jpg]. I took up the name in early 2008, and the character saw a rapid rise to becoming the best of my WoW characters even after years of crazy PvP and PvE achievements (including opening AQ on my warrior). As my priestess became so successful, I decided to use the character to represent my online identity as a whole. Although I ended up quitting WoW in April 2010, and then for good in November later that year, I kept the name because I strongly identified with the character I created, as well as the many achievements I had with her. The name, therefore, became a permanent identity for me, even though by now it isn't really linked to my WoW character anymore.

Now, the name is very much its own identity. :3

P.S. My nickname was "Rei" from day 1. Only much later did I find out that Rei was the name of a character in Evangelion. Since then, Rei Ayanami and this username have been inseparably linked together, with the Rei avatar being another part of my online identity. :3

 

[Ordinaryundone]

Ordinaryundone. Its a combination of two Duran Duran songs. Also, it sounds cool.
