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 :-)

Mine is because I used to be really short (I'm not tall now, just average height). I wanted Shortie44 because 4 was my favorite number, but that was taken, so I ended up with Shortie4400

Well my psn I'd is DarkWarrlock03, and the reason I named myself that is because when I bought my first console, which was the original Xbox, I started naming myself Dark Angel on every game that I played so when I bought the PS4 and made my PlayStation account I tried to give myself my original Xbox name, Dark Angel, but it wouldn't let me so my next name idea was Archangel, which was Garrus' alias at the beginning of mass effect 2, but it won't take that either so I knew I wanted to be a Warlock when destiny came out so I decided on DarkWarlock, but I can have it that way either so I had to spell warlock with to r's and put a number at the end of it so I decided on the number three because it is my favorite number and it looked cooler with a zero in front of the three and that is how I got my name

My gamertag used to be BlackHole1055. Black Hole was an evil assassin in a comic series my older brother and I made. Now, it is Paradox1055. Paradox is a character in my own stories who formed a ,well, paradox. He lost his memory and someone named him Paradox in a sort of prophetic way.
