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 :-)

I made mine the day the ps 3 was first sold. It is short for air capital which is the nickname of the city I live in. Of course I didn't realize I would be stuck with it all these years later. My son has no problem reminding me that some people get confused and think it says aircrap

When I was younger my neighbors were hippie pot smokers, and they always referred to it as cannabis instead of weed because they knew I wouldn't know what it meant. I never knew what they were talking about, they'd just tell me things like "cannabis is magical" or it's relaxing and the key to life and that type of thing, and when they said it, I always heard canavis. I had no idea what it was, but if canavis was the key to life, I wanna be canavis! Right?
