[major]

We have a lot of creative and random gaming names. Where did you come up with them/get them?


Mine is from my grandfather, a major in the OSP.

[Emilia]

Mine is my name in Polish.

[PPK]

Mine is my name in Polish.

And in Portuguese too, minus an ´.


Look at Bond's gun. There you have it.

[liamcadhain]

My user name is just my real name in Irish. Well technically it should be Liam O Cadhain but I just dropped the 'O'.

[kraid]

nuff said.

[basstronix]

I thought of basstronix while I was taking a shit in Alabama.

[killermonkey]

I started gaming under the moniker "The_Dominator_0" since "The_Dominator" was taken... this was back in the MSN Gaming Zone playing AOE.

A lot of people in high school called me "monkey" cause I guess I look like one, I think I look more like a neanderthal but I take that as a compliment as scientists now say they are smarter than normal humans, so yah.

Anyway, I came up with killermonkey once I started playing TFC in 2000. The name stuck.

[Bashe]

I used to have an odd fascination with putting Es at the end of words for no particular reason when I was younger. Bashe was a result, and it stuck for some reason. I also used to go as Basherman120 on a site or two, and Bashe might have spawned from that as well.

[markpeterjameslegg]

I thought of basstronix while I was taking a shit in Alabama.

Something to do with the sound it made as it hit the water?

Anyway, I realise my name on here is markpeterjameslegg, it's my full name, but on Xbox Live and various other game accounts I'm known as MarkMadPage, Page being the name of my step father. The "MAD" stems from when I was a child playing in the arcades, there was no way to type Mark in three letter's, so I used to put "MAD" instead.

[Sam Colt]

There was a player in GES for a while called John Browning, so one day I switched to Sam Colt just for fun. It stuck.

[namajnaG]

Actuallly a weird story...
I used to go with the username "Filou13" a while ago, Made this username a very long time ago when I was young, And never looked into changing it.
It was summer 2008, I was playing Saints Row 1 at a friend's house, It was about 4AM, We we're not quite sober and we told to ourselves "Let's make a rastafari character named ganjaman" so we did, Then the game froze at some point, And we didn't save, So the ganjaman was forever lost. Few months later, I told to myself "I'll use this old insider joke as a new nickname online". I ended up reversing the nickname and it gave "Namajnag".


I've been around for a while so I think everyone figured that one out so far...

[markpeterjameslegg]

Ha ha, I never noticed that namajnaG, like it.

[The Cy]

cy (pronounced: sai) is not just my gaming name, I see it as an artist´s name, chosen in my teenager´s years. cy is everything I am as a human being. an artist, a shark, a gamer, a moron, a sucker, a fucker, a musician and a reader. I don´t know where it originally came from, but it´s short, its cool, it´s funny. like cybersex or mercy. cyprus or the doctrine of cy pres.

[V!NCENT]

I just went with my own name, soon to discover that there are actually more people who carry my name. (no, realy)


Given that I wasn't in favor or UltraGamerxxx1337pwn0r or .:-Vincent_t3h_B35t!!-:., I had to flip the i in order to still just use my name. Because the height of the ! fucks up the typography, I just went with CapsLock.


The thing is that I just don't have a nickname. People just say Vinny or Vin or just go with "Yo sup bro". (which isn't meant to be gangster)

[Mike [fourtecks]]

I picked Vortex as my first gaming alias, primarily at random and on the spot and it stuck. Later on I felt the need to have something more unique and a name that no one else uses. I decided to play off the old name and fourtecks was the result (yes, I usually prefer it without capitalization).
