What inspired your username?
Over the years I've come across alot if unique and wierd gamertags and psn usernames. So I thought I would make a post and see how you guys came up with them.
I created mine about 10 years ago when I was big into the game runescape. I really wanted it to be "awhisperinthedark" but it was taken already and I really didn't want to have number in my name. But after trying for a good hour with different variations I made mine darkvoice7 and had to settle with a number at the end which was my favourite number. Since then it's the one I use for all online games, and I use darkvoice8 for forums and stuff.
If we can get this trending and keep it trending then maybe we can get deej and cozmo to tell us how they got/came up with their names.
Edit: alot of these are really unique :-) it's cool to see how certain things outside of games can have an effect on how people made their names.
Edit2: over 150 replies wow! I honestly wasn't expecting that many :-) thanks to everyone for contributing. Im enjoying reading them, and I'm sure other people are too :-)

Absolute randomness and crypticity that references to a character of one of the gundam spinoffs. If you do somehow uncover who the character is then, your either a huge gundam fan or you just used google. Most likely both.

My wiener is really curved and a girl called me a Cap'n Hook when she saw it. And it stuck but CapnHook was taken of course so I just stuck the 69 to it.

Well, I was Ee-Khu'buh. But in RPGs people would get it into their head that I was a bot. Then I played Perfect World and changed my name to TheGreatEeK. Getting into The Old Republic, all my imperial had the surname of EeK. So my republic characters needed a last name. I chose Ilax. I used the gaming moniker of Ilax ever since. Finally I got married and added the Mr onto the front. [spoiler]You have now wasted 2 minutes of your life reading about someone you don't know.[/spoiler]

Edited by Master Cheeks: 8/17/2015 9:44:12 PMMy Psn name was inspired by a band I used to listen to called motionless in white and their number was 66 therfore motionless66. For my bungie name I was inspired when I fell with my Titan about 3-5 feet to the ground and landed on a small rock and died instantly therfore Death by Legos.
