View Full Version : Reason Behind your Username
Killer 57
15/Nov/05, 06:02 AM
Saw something similer to this on the xbox.com forums. Basicly just post why you choose your username and what it means.
Okay then I will go first, I choose killer 57 because of # my favorite player Anaheim Angels Pitcher Fransico Rodriguez(Pic Below) and added killer so it could sound cool :cool:

Who knows? I believe it had something to do with cheese and Japanes throwing knives, but my memory is kind of fading.

I don't have a clue why this is my username.
It just is, and always has been.

Domfunkle
15/Nov/05, 12:47 PM
My name was made on an impulse back in the good ol' days when the Diablo-style, MMORPG "Helbreath" was still free to play. I created a new character and couldn't think of a good name...so i just started saying random stuff and Domfunkle came out of my mouth...and it just stuck. 5 years and still going strong!
Some other names I've come up with are:
-Ochi Och (Something I used to say to piss off this girl i used to go to school with)
-Heretica or }-{eReTiCa (again something that sounded good at the time. Derived from the word Heretic meaning: A person who holds controversial opinions, especially one who publicly dissents from the officially accepted dogma of the Roman Catholic Church.)
-Kortanis (derived from Cortana from Halo)
-Varsonis (a good name for Medieval style games)

The whole Pumpkin thing came up way back in the time of DoD 1.3. Most of you kids might not remember, lol! I was a member of |CC| (Canadian Club - #2 STA Gold), and I had to come up with a new username because I saw my old one "Caveman," used way too often. So I thought up Pumpkin, and yeah, that's where it all started! :party:

Haha.
Having your own name is still better having something like "ManUrulez!".
At least you're admitting you don't have an inventive mind, rather than trying to hide it. :D
Croker

Charlie Croker, the Italian Job with Michael Caine, I was trying to think up a screenname and I saw the DVD lying there, nothing better than a bit of blind inspiration, plus Minis are cool :D
Shockingly enough I go by the name of Benj in real life as well.
blackhawk
15/Nov/05, 05:40 PM
well i was trying to find a tag for halo and blackhawk sounded cool so its stuck for the past 4-5 years or so. then online blackhawk is usually taken(haha i got the first one here though) so if it is i add "_b24" after it bc my grandpa flew b24's in ww2 :D

My name is Jason and some retarded kid used to call me JJBSports (after the sports shop we have here in England). Although I disliked this kid I didn't mind him calling me JJBSports and I happened to take a liking to it. Then back in April 2004 when I started registering on messageboards I decided to change the Sports to Dude and walla, I was born.

It's quite long isn't it, how about changing it to RCRider or RCR or something?

My username is the same as my gamertag and I just chose that one because I tried many others but they were already taken, so I made up a completely unique one which I can use on just about everything I register with.
Well, ebr is just some random letters. lol.
and my surname is manji, that why my gamertag is sgt manji.
My name is Tom
I like football, so I got the '90' from 'Toal 90 - Nike'

covenant_elite
04/Dec/05, 10:22 PM
I used covenant_elite on the original Halo game for a username when I went online. Surprisingly I never saw anyone else with that name. Then I used it on my E-mail address, and it spread to everything that requires a username. For my Gamercard, though, I had to use a different one because someone already had it :(
I just say "unit-SER!" because it pisses my friend off...you have to say it like you're mad and take a brief pause after "unit-"...there you have it...

Total 90's are the best! I've played a few seasons of Football in Total 90's. Better than this pair of Predators I had!

When you said Covenant_elite was used on Halo, was that for XB Live? If so, then the reason that you couldn't use it for a gamer card was because you had already had it, so you can just transfer it to the 360. Unless I misinterperated what you meant, if so, sorry. :geek:

'Tis all right, but you did. I actually meant on the PC version, so (duh [to me]), of course no-one had it...still pretty rad though...

Well, ebr is just some random letters. lol.

TDBulldog
12/Dec/05, 02:08 PM
TDBulldog came about from two nicknames people used for me and I combined the two of them together...
I was always referred to as TD at a company I worked for meaning Telecoms Dude as yep you guessed it I was a Telecoms Engineer - but people just used to ask for me by TD...one person started it - few weeks later wads of staff knew me as TD :brow
Then Bulldog - as most people have referred to me for years because of my build (19" neck/colar size, 46" chest with 34" waist - u can work it out) - so when I went LIVE 3 years ago I wanted something unique/boring yip yip but unique and I tied the two together to ensure I did not get my GT rejected...
Voila - boring but true - TDBulldog was born

Mine's my real name...was gonna use 'I Got Germs' which has been my Counterstrike name for Years but it gets annoying when kids keep asking 'what germs you got?' 'have you got Aids?'.....so I changed it.
I do want a new Gamercard name but not paying to do it.
:)
Veles is the ancient Russian god of sheep and cows, I just used it cos it sounded cool and different :p
