I think we need to add that if its necessary to add a number, please please don't make it either 69 or 117. Its just so bland, unoriginal and unfunny it hurts...

Ahhh, come on, what's wrong with Ymbirtt? It's not that it's impossible to pronounce, it's just that nobody pronounces it my way.

I have a question my gamer tag is C0RV4L0U5. the numbers are becasue no one ever has the same. but my question being does this break the capitilise rule? I capitilise it so the numbers and letters are the same ie. c0rv4l0u5 or C0RV4L0U5. So does it break the capitilsie rule?

I like my gamertag, which breaks a couple of rules up there. It is, however, covered in delicious irony.

My gamertag is Empiricalkitty. the only problem is some people don't know how to pronounce Empirical.

but people just call me kitty so that would fix it but another problem is I'm a guy.

Why is X considered the coolest letter anyway?

It's got nothing on D.
But D, my friend, has nothing on P.
Your all wrong. X and I's are used for symmetrical reasons. Because when flipped in a mirror, they remain the same. That's why you can expect names like XIX or IxIXIxI Because they be symmetrical mofugga's.

Despite any symmetrical benefits such letters may have, they still have nothing on P.

I was upset when I tried to register for GFWL (For DOW 2), and found that "Liverandbacon" was already taken. This has been my internet username for most things for about 11 years or more. I picked it as a username I was sure no one else would ever use, and it worked perfectly until that day. I've searched the internet, and the only Liverandbacon was me. Someone stole my name :(.

NO you don't always need to capitalise.
my username has always been lollipopz since i was 13 so i came up with lollidolly as my gamertag
i think my name looks better "lollidolly" than "Lollidolly" because of the ridiculous amount of l's in it... Okay I'm going on a bit >_______>

I have to admit i do judge people on their name. I only got my xbox this christmas and i still managed to come up with a good tag no one had taken yet - why is it other people find it so hard >_>

I use variations of Zedd for everything.

my character on WoW when I played where named Zedd Zeddicus(I ripped that from a book) Zeddica, Zeddix, Zeddovich (dont ask) but allways involving Zedd.

Zeddica is the standard name for all my female characters, and my shaman is stillthe only high level character with that name.

What the fuck does "MLG" even mean?
Major league gamer?

Anyway, I like these, but I do not take kindly to being told what to do/how to do something, so I'm going to dedicate my next screenname: "xxmaxassassinxx92MLGidfu(khitlern00b" to you.
But...that's not very clever...or twisted...plus, it makes you too anonymous. I would have figured that you'd go for something that would grab attention, so when you were killing people online, they'd know who you were. Now, in real life, if you went by that name, then you'd be one of those people that others just skim over, look at the name, and move on. Quickly. So I can see how that would be an advantage to you, but still.

On topic: I do hate seeing those xX____Xx names, as well as the ones with any form of "leetspeak" in them. Mainly due to the fact that most of the ones I've run across have been pre-teens with squeaky voices and just enough knowledge of cusses to use them indiscriminately and repeatedly.

Rule 7: Don't put excessive numbers in your gamertag.
Please, don't make your gamertag ubergamer46387, it is just annoying and shows your unoriginality. It also makes me wonder if there are 46386 other ubergamers.
I used to use shadow333444 only because 333 was 3 of my lucky numbers and was often taked so the 444 was added in, but at least its easier to remember than 35634732


Also I have a new rule to submit

Dont put your country in your name (honestly I have seen way to many people with like killerBR or PL it seems people are way to proud)

yeah i think these work very well

also added on to the X thing its not too much but a growing trend is to put a lower case i at the begining of the name, i have seen a good amount on ragnarok on psnetwork

I'd like to meet the original Evilbunny on Xbox live. I'd compliment him on his excellent choice of name. Ooh, I did meet an evilrabbit once while playing Halo. That was cool.

R153 4G41N57

Am I going to screenname hell as well? :[

I would have to agree with the whole "no x's" thing because if it's something you want to be unique then come up with something UNIQUE where you don't NEED X's!!!
