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 :-)

XBL name suggestion gave me Armoured Moon. I had a mate years ago whose neice called him 'Moon'. His name was Nunn. Armoured Nun? Maybe, but another friend is a standup comedian and his first ever joke on stage was about nuns with guns and it was OP. Combat Nun was born. 13 is a number.

Well, I went from Urged Dookie on xbox360, to Scrodom69 on 360, to scrodom_warfare on ps3. Urged Dookie made me laugh, simple as that. Scrodom is a play on my last name and is a common nickname for me. 69 because it felt right, _warfare because I was mostly playing MW1 at the time. there ya go.

Edited by Wernstrom: 8/17/2015 6:37:46 PMAt the start of every Willey Coyote/Road Runner episode (old cartoons) each character would get a fake Latin scientific name. One of Wiley's names was "Poorius Schnookius", and seeing has he's a devious engineer type (kind of like me) I chose "PoorSchnookius" as my GT.
