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 :-)

My all time favorite game is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Darth Revan is a primary figure in both the game and the Star Wars universe (pre Disney buy out). Revan is my favorite Star Wars character for many reasons including personal ones. The majority of my friends call me Rev as opposed to my real name because I use 8t for dang near everything. Lol

I typically use stars for my tags, so I just played around with names and spelling until I got mine. ADraconis = Alpha Draconis

On the flip side what's the best username you've seen another player use? Mine was during my first month with Xbox Live, a player on Perfect Dark Zero was called Couch Commando. Cracked me up.
