How did you pick your username?

[Avelestar]

Was the name of my wow character, which I pulled from an elf name generator somewhere on the internet. (I saw the first half Avel, and another name that ended in Star, somehow my mind went AVELESTAR so I ran with it).

Though I've quit wow, it remains my online handle and probably will forever, it's very very rarely taken. In the past however I've used rather generic handles, my name in leetspeak or a favourite character (with some random gibberish numbers on the end).

A handle is a special thing, treasure it when you get one you love.

 

[Thisshouldsay2K]

My nickname is 2K, but that's too short too be a username pretty much everywhere I try. So my username becomes 'Thisshouldsay2K'.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

Basically.... I chose this name a LONG time ago when I was younger and not as.... smart... And I just keep using it because that's what I've used for so long.... Yeah....

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Will Ferrel says it in step brothers

"Well you have to call me Nighthawk" (just shortened it down)

 

[Acidwell]

For me it's an anagram of my real name with an extra word taken out, no-one ever uses it so it's always free on any forums and or game.

 

[Odoylerules360]

From a nickname in middleschool, but 360 because just "Odoylerules" seems to always be taken, and it was first used on an xbox account.

that was all probably really obvious.

 

[Viciousmf]

it's what i used for name in videos games since i was 16(2002ish)

 

[ggamer2]

I was trying to register on a gaming web site and 'gamer' was already taken. About a year later I forgot my password and since 'password recovery' did nothing, ggamer2 was born and the rest is history

 

[HK_01]

It should be obvious...









For those who don't get it, I love HK-47 from KotOR.

 

[Huddo]

My first name is Hudson. You should be able to connect the dots from there.
It is also my nickname.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

whatever sounds good.

 

[Shirokurou]

A phrase in a Japanese song. It means "black & white" by the way.
I thought it sounded cool.

 

[Mitsurugi_Reiji]

Antagonist in the First 3 of the Gyakuten Saiban series (Ace Attourney) and Protagonist of Gyakuten Kenji (Ace Prosecutor).

Its the Japanese name of Miles Edgeworth, and I`ve used it for a couple of years when creating characters for RPG`s or on forums!

 

[Pink_Pirate]

well at Download festival 2006 i bought a pink bandanna as a joke, but ended up wearing it for the entire weekend, so some people started calling me the Pink Pirate... since then its just kinda stuck and here we are.

Can we see said bandanna? Please?

uhm...why? im pretty sure i dont even have it anymore...

 

[TimeLord]

I chose mine because I like Doctor Who a little to much...

Were you expecting a more in depth reason?

 

[Nazulu]

I couldn't get any of the names I usually use so I just made this one up out of nowhere. It started of as Nacazooloo and then I shortened it for the sake of being shorter, and because it was weird enough already.

The names I usually used before this were made up as well but unfortunately they have been taken.

 

[Vrex360]

Once, many years ago when I was a little boy I tried to make the name 'Trex' (as in Tee Rex) as a profile name and I accidentally hit 'V' as a result I got 'Vrex' and so naturally I thought it was awesome so I stuck with it.
Then as the years went by and I got an Xbox 360 I transitioned from 'Vrex' to 'Vrex360'.

So here we are.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

When I joined xbox live I chose a randomly generated name from there. It's great because it stands out and it is never taken.

 

[gareth_gobblecoque]

watching zero punctuation, that and i thought it'd be an amusing contrast to my mild homophobia
