User Names?

[Mayhem]

Just out of curiosity, how did most of you come by your name that you have been using for some time now, old nickname from when you were younger, tv show, character, ect?

I got mine from Jason "Mayhem" Miller, the UFC fighter, also the host of the show Bully Beatdown.

How did you come across yours?

[Pentax]

[Norwegianviking]

I thought what should I call myself. I figured since I'm a Viking and Norwegian why not call myself Norwegianviking

[Outlander]

"Outlanders" was my guild in vanilla WoW

Kinda stuck when I stopped playing WoW

[Guest]

Family owns quite a few gas station and oil (house heating) companies and its close to my last name, and friends in high school started calling me Oilo, then switched to Olio.

[Zoex]

Around 10 years ago I was looking for a nickname, while playing CS with a friend he offered Zeox out of nowhere, I did not like it and converted it to Zoex.

[Big Bird]

I was too shit when I first started arma to change my name. My profile was defaulted parker and I made friends before I knew how to change it so I just kept it. 

[Robbo]

I get called Robbo by everyone all my friends, it's to do with my surname, been gaming for decades, and it just seems to have stuck.

[Iced]

Ice is what i put in my juice

Played Gamebattles matches for Gears of War 2 back in the day. Community thing to do was take a verb and drop an "s" onto the end of it.

Main weapon in Gears of War is the Gnasher shotgun; ergo, Gnashes. It started out as a joke to mock them, never imagined when I did it that it would stick around for another 8 years.

gow is fun as hell. been playing gow ultimate on windows 10 recently. Lots of fun

[Haych]

First name started with a H. A lot of Kids growing up couldn't pronounce it so they called me by the letter.

Aitch looks ugly so I stuck with Haych

[Gatorade]

Leon Sugarfoot was a character from a youtube series that wasn't popular when it first came out - but I thought it was fucking hilarious.

[MarchingBands]

Played the Trombone since Elementary School, and the time I spent in my High School's Marching Band will remain forever as one of the best choices I've ever made. All of the "blood, sweat, and tears", and the energetic nights spent in the stands, and the eight minute shows... it was an easy pick for me...

[dj.devran]

I rotate between dev, dev0, dev0fam and devran, Devran being my name.

[Le Razoir]

When i was younger, Razor1911 was THE team for cracked games and things like that. I used TheRazor for like 15 years then switched it for Le Razoir, so i can easily find some other french canadian in-games.

[bunni]

Got mine back when I played cs. Got pretty good but after 1.5k hours still couldn't Bhop for shit so friends made fun. Changed name to bunny then to bunni Cus memes. Stuck with the name for about a year now

[Big Fred]

My name is Fred and all my life I've just wanted to be beautiful...

I grew up around a lot of native reservations and one drunken night on the res and we stumbled on these videos and thought they were golden, nicknames were born that night.

[Heidelberg]

A period of time in 1800 Germany/Denmark called Heidelberg Romanticism, where a new forms of literature where born. And the specific city is called Heidelberg too. 

[Vhasj]

Stole it from my nephew

[Thomas]

I was kinda born with this name  Not a difficult decision.

[What zit tooya]

This was the best name in the Spongebob series besides....THE HASH SLINGING SLASHER!

And I mean come on who doesn't love spongebob.

[Volunteer281]

The college I went to was the University of Tennessee. Their nickname is the Volunteers.

I chose Volunteer281 because Volunteer2 through Volunteer280 were already taken. 

In all seriousness 281 is my badge number of the Fraternity I was a member of in college.

[Ronald]

Random name generator.

[Alec-I]

Alec was taken so I put an i on the end, most people think it's the number one and always call me Alec one, and every time I have to say ITS AN i.

Same thing for me lol

[Blacklight]

 

Yeah, I just stole it off of another video game. Anyone who played it probably already figured that out though.

[DreamC]

I used to go by the name Popsiclefresh and i still do on some older things i use, one day in my angsty teen years i got linked this video.

And i just thought it was the best thing ever. Dreamcycler is long and edgy tho, and a couple bike shops/ tobacco or some shit is named that, so i tend to shorten my name to anything that starts with D and ends C

Funnily enough before i played Asylum i had used the name DurgaC on a couple games.

[Kelly]

Because Kelly can be a Female or Male name so since its a male character model its not weird and because im a chick its not a weird name XD 

And Im a bit of a surfer so I wanted to be the female Kelly Slater XD

[Das Otter]

I used to go by laitka on asylum. Which i derived off the name of the first dog in space. The russian mutt Laika. But I could make a 30 minute Montage of people pronouncing my name lateekah like some big black woman. Or lakeeta....

So I just said screw it and went with Das Otter because otters are dope af and everybody knows that
