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 :-)

Long, weird story. Buckle up kids. Okay, so my intended username was Ryo67 because as a small child I came across ryus name I'm a Nintendo power issue, and being a total dumbass thought it said ryo. So I Made most of my early childhood usernames ryo67, the 67 was just a number. HOWEVER, when I bought a ps3 the psn ID Ryo67 was taken. I got the ps3 on christmas. My family has a tradition of hinting to the contents of a Christmas present by tagging the sender as someone related to the present. For example if I got TTK for christmas, it might read 'the traveler,' or 'oryx'. We had gotten glasses from a place called the boring store, and my parents struggled to come up with a sender name. In the end it was signed, 'to (my name), from Mr bore.' For some reason I liked this name, and when contemplating what to use instead of ryo, I decided upon mrbore. I added the 67 for old times sake. And that ladies and gents, is the long winded tale of my username.
