The Origin of Your Handle/Gamertag

[Meggiepants]

Furburt just sounds funny. Don't ask me why. Also, it's memorable.

It does. And it is! (funny and memorable)
Mine is a bit obvious, I think so I'm not going to bother explaining to anyone who has ever played a game where it comes from! And I just like it as a username.

So for some reason, when I first saw your username, I thought it was JenovasHead... not sure why I thought this. I like Jenova better. Now I must hide in shame for mine is so blah.

First and middle name squished together. Too bad I didn't get the name my parents originally planned for me, then I could at least feign coolness at my chosen moniker.

Normally, I go by Smarg. That comes from my AOE days when I wanted an appropriate name for my tyrant behavior as I conquered the map. Smarg sounded like something awesome for my little soldiers to shout out. "All hail Smarg!"

But I was lazy here, and didn't bother to search to see if Smarg was in use.

 

[Sovvolf]

Wow another one of these. Well I created a character on everquest and couldn't think of a name so I named him after the spell Spirit of the wolf but it just looked silly (You couldn't use spaces so it looked like Spiritofthewolf)so I shortened it to Sowolf and it would accepted it so I replaced the w with two v's and there you have it Sovvolf.

I also gave this name to one of the guy in a comic book I wrote as a kid. The name as stuck and I use it for virtually all of my avatars.

 

[Kajt]

My Escapist username came from random typing.

My PSN username came from taking the first word I saw, then replacing some letters and moving them around a bit.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I WANT IT

What genre of music is it?

[Hiphophippo]

My wife made this one but I've pretty well ran with it. Hippos are almost comically designed to be cute but are also one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

None of this is relevant though, any more I'm just used to using it.

My actual name is Graham.

 

[GeekFury]

GeekFury because NerdRage is always taken.

 

[Jenova65]

It's the name of a song I wrote, 'The Miracle of Sound' about music and sex (the two best things in life) and it's also a reference to Soundwave, hence the avatar.

Excellent!

 

[Jenova65]

]Indeed it does, plus imahobbit sounded funny..to me.

I always remembered your username because I love LOTR too, and because it's such a funny contrast with your avatar, which is about as un-hobbity as it gets!

It's a good one, don't change it.

Mine is a bit obvious, I think so I'm not going to bother explaining to anyone who has ever played a game where it comes from! And I just like it as a username.

Pardon my ignorance but what is it from? I always just though your name was Jen and then something to do with Novas!

Please tell me you are joking :'-(
I don't know how to copy/paste pics on here so here is a link

My PSN tag is Jenova-s_Head! Which is a reference to FFVII Advent Children.

 

[Deviltongue]

In real life, I don't know when to shut-up, which usually ends up getting me into fights or making people cry. Also, I hate church.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

The name I use on this site came from a username I used to have, which was "Zentrenius." I thought it sounded cool at the time, though I now find it to be extremely nerdy and fairly lame.

However, I realized that the first three letters of that name rang true with my own personality, and so I went with that.

There's been a recent change, though. After having to wipe my corrupted profile (and lose my saves) on my 360 hard drive, I came up with a new username which I intend to use as my Gamertag if I can ever connect to Live. It's "MacLeod." It seems to fit considering my heritage and, erm, abilities.

That's where I got it! I was simply flabbergasted as to why I would add a whole new word to your name. Something new to pm you about!!

 

[Sonicron]

Sonicron was the name of my character in an online forum Transformers RPG called Sparkmasters. (Sadly it doesn't exist anymore, and the site that hosted it has vanished.) My human character was a scientist, and when he was infused with Energon and became able to morph into a spark, he gained a robot shell which was basically a re-hash of Soundwave.

 

[Siorai]

My username on here, Siorai, is an old Irish word that roughly translates to "Eternal". I have no idea why I picked it really I just thought it sounded cool. I usually use "Renoku" which was randomly generated by my brain while I was playing Chrono Cross and it stuck with me ever since.

That has actually made me ROFL! You must hear voices in your head, yes? ;-) And props for using the word flabbergasted (an under used word imo)

 

[1066]

1066 is a nifty year, especially for my family.

 

[Sneaklemming]

I have no idea... but this one is coming up to 10years old

 

[Korey Von Doom]

Well my Gamertag is Korey Von Doom, Dr. Doom is my favorite villain and I think it looks cool, plus I've never met anybody with a tag like it.

 

[hudsonzero]

i don't like being divided

 

[xxnightlawxx]

Reste_en_Paix which I know does not actually mean rest in peace in French but really knowhwere special just sounds nice and it sticks.
