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 :-)

I was raised in a very Christian household and for a long time I believed hard, even joined the priesthood before I got old enough to start asking questions and not liking the answers. Eventualy I would leave the church and quit organized religion entirely, but not before I internalized the virtues of morality, blind-loyalty, and self-sacrifice extolled by the martyrs and saints of Christendom. I like to think my gamertag reflects my internal contradiction: I am Faithless, but I fight like a madman for my friends and family.

Edited by SQUIDTASTIX: 8/18/2015 5:43:15 AMI bought the worlds best hat one day, shaped like a squid and colored gold. I was originally "A golden squid2" [quote]who else would think of that?![/quote] But I hated the idea of a first golden squid stealing my thunder, so I changed it to the much catchier SQUIDTASTIX, in all caps so I can feel special knowing my gamer tag is slightly bigger than yours and therefore more important.
