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 :-)

2 RepliesOn these forums? In #destiny? I'll go with #destiny 25% are names from the game so that they can RP and make a "I'm ___ AMA" thread. 25% are names from memes in the game that people blow way out of the water and/or make their own versions of memes expecting to get forum famous. 15% are "TheGreatNike" spin offs. They saw his rise to glory which he reached in about 5 days by doing [b]nothing[/b] but signing his name. [spoiler]Which I find hilarious. "Guardians have no originality and look the same! We also want gun shaders!" --- "Holy shit this guy signs his name?!¿¡?! 10/10!!!!"[/spoiler] 10% are the same username they had from club penguin and minecraft. 9% of them still play. Both. 10% are more memes and shit from destiny 5% are literally just names to get attention and/or to look funny and stupid. 5% MLG memes 5% are actually just regular usernames.
