How did you develop your gaming name?

Hi people, ive been playing online for years now and in my time ive seen some weird PSN names and some funny ones.

I was wondering what made you have the name you got now? and has it changed over the years or have you kept it the same?

Mine used to be NRG because its my initials but ive changed it a good few times.

Gray_Fox1203- My favourite character from MGS is Gray Fox and 1203 is a family thing. My XBL name is Teh Solid Snake, Solid Snake being my all time favourite hero, and my clan for Halo 3 all has Teh in the beginning of their gamertag

Envybianchi came from two things I enjoyed doing while I was growing up in WA. Envy came from my 57" longboard & Bianchi came from Edquardo Bianchi, my Mountain Bike. Both were unique, fun, dangerous & filled with constant adrenaline rush in their own way. One was on smooth steep black roads & the other was on rough narrow mountain terrain. I was one the few people who actually had a longboard in WA at the time until it started popping everywhere.

From Yugioh the abridged series. The funniest thing on youtube.

i wanted to form a cult when i was in highschool (which was an austrian highschool in istanbul, turkey, go figure that out), and when i was around 17 (now i am 34), i started going out at night and loved it (still do), "mond" in german means "moon" so i wanted this cult to enjoy the night and sound cool at the same time, and with a juvenile analogy to "orgasm" i said, wth, let's name my cult "mondasm" and as you can see it stuck, minus the cult though, i think i grew up immediatly after i invented the nickname... :P

PS: i forgot, i write it as MondasM because the shape is very symmetrical with ups and downs... :)

I used to own a very special edition Firehawk trans am, and its build number....wait for it....549 :p

HaViK used to be my FPS name for games like Quake 3 Arena and UT 2004. Basically this was just a on the fly name that stuck with me.

Back when i played wow i used the name Kaotix. In my early days i played with a warrior by this name and i just thought he was awesome, so when i left the server i took his name.

JJIvey is just my first, middle, and last name. I wish i could change it but then id have to start all over again. I picked this name cause EVERYTHING i could think of was taken without naming myself 3424nonamexxxxx or something.

Jack is my first name. It wouldn't take that so I added 1982, the year I graduated from high school. It wouldn't take that so I added my last initial, C. It still wouldn't take that so I started adding random letters. "P" seemed to do the trick.

My old nickname (Pengo coz I liked penguins) and the year I was born.

Perro was my dog's name. He died, yeah. Perro was already taken, so I added a "The" to compensate.

unfortunately I don't like my PSN name, but what I use now Naveed and NaveedLife are both from a bands songs/album. The band is Our Lady Peace. My favorite bands first album that references Naveed a few times and has some good meaning to it.

Scrotous is my druid's name in WoW... i usually use either Kaiser or XenoKaiser, Xeno from xenogears and kaiser from kaiser dragon from BoF3-4... lol yeah those are pretty old games but oh well lol, still got emails with those gaming names.

I hate how whenever you make an account, the username is taken by a guy who has been offline for like 3 years :lol:

I named mine Melpoe because my gaming name before that back on Diablo 2 was Grimser and sadly Grimser was taken on Xbox Live :(.

So when I signed on for XBL Melpoe poped into my head, magical right?

KingMP - My initials are MP and I'm obsessed with wanting to become a King and rule the world. No that's not a joke, I really want to rule the world so I can execute all the people I hate.

mine is just my initials and 86 the year i was born.

Its my name....

mines an homage to my favorite phrase after completeing a game....NEW HIGH SCORE!

although, many games are no longer about points. shows my age too i guess lol.

Spawning Enemies.

Me spawning.

Spawning everywhere. Back from the "Dead."

PSN: Resurrectionist

PSN's max allowable name lenght is 15 spaces. Filled them all up with one contiguous name.

Non-gender or age specific. Easy to remember. And just a little Epic.

My gaming name wouldn't take on this site for whatever reason.

Started sweating blood... so

5 years ago I started my internet presence as SteveX15 and also used that name for online gaming at first. It originated in Steve being my real life nickname and an addition of a random letter as well as my age at that time.

When I got deeper into the world of online gaming I decided that such a lame name is simply wrong. I needed something that sounds badass, can be easily remembered and still fits my characteristics.

I've always been a fascinated by reptiles. Beautiful creatures, living on this planet for ages in all kinds of imaginable forms and every one of these forms is a specialist in a different kind of survival tactics. Reptiles are capable of everything, from brute strength and unbreakable defense over stealth attacks to escaping tactics. If thats not a good base for a badass gaming nick, so what is? So I simply took "reptile" and made it a little more artistic - Reptyle was born.

A few years later though I bumped into a quite unpleasent registration error: "This ID is already in use" or something along those lines. So I needed to get a little bit more artistic. I thought about a way to make Reptyle more individual and, if possible, even more badass. Kings and emperors came to mind, especialy the Roman ones - probably the mightiest persons in ancient times. So I altered Reptyle to sound like the name of a roman emperor by giving it a latin touch.

And now here he is - Reptylus (Imperialis Maximus), The King Of Lizards.

My middle name is Marc and I love the Ghost Recon series...thus giving you MarcRecon and it's the same on XBL. I have do have an alias but I won't get into that....

just came to me when I was trying to figure out a new name long time ago

I just randomly thought of it. And my dad really is a mailman in case your wondering.

My name is Ryan, so that covers the first part. As for "Som", I used to be in a punk band called Urban Sombrero. It was my life for the better part of 4 years. In that time we didn't care to use our last names so, like The Ramones, he just had everyone call us "Sombrero." So I became Ryan Sombrero. In the years since, no matter what the band or the genre the music people STILL know me as Ryan Sombrero. A friend of mine from another band called me "Ryan-Som" pronouncing the Som as "sahm" so it sounded like San as in Daniel-San. It sounded cool enough to me and managed to both include a reference to my first band and make me sound like a badass ninja. Yeah, I'll roll with it. 8)

E-Normus-Genitals... where did I come up with that? Let me see...

... oh now I recall... it was the summer of 1976, and I was at a parade... you see, it was the Bicentennial so it was a big deal... and I noticed that morning, in the shower, that -

*CENSORED*

I used to use Urizen5 (like I have here), but my PSN is AlphaRooster.....As in the TopC**k.

(Prolly get modded, but it's an animal afterall). Seriously this site needs an address for those over 10.

KnockdownDragout - name of a Weezer song.

The first part Thrawn comes from the Star Wars books and hes my favorite character in the Star Wars universe(more so then anyone from the movies).

3d comes from the Dudley Boyz, I was a big ECW fan when I was younger and they were my favorite tag team.

PSN - JudgeYiazamat

Judge = FFXII Judge Magister's

Yiazamat = FFXII Boss Fight

Me and my friends were playing runescape when I was like 10 or so. His name was shadow as well and sinceI couldn' think of any I stole his :P 13702 was my lunch number back in elementary

My PSN names TYPODNA because typo means mistake in a word and DNA is the code of creation, plus it sound cool :D but everyone i know says TY-POD-NA it's actually TYPO-D-N-A. Man my explanation is long :roll:.

MazingerZZZ, because Mazinger Z is the coolest roboooot ever. I was gonna use KratosKratos (Tales of Symphonia Kratos) buuuuut I like Mazinger Z just a litttttttle more than Kratos :D

whoopsiedaisy came from the fact that I tended to accidentally teamkill and suicide in my newb days.

One of my favourite game series, Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Just the initials.
