As you can see, my current name is "Killykill" and frankly, I can't take it anymore. The only reason I've been using it for so much time is because if I switch, everyone who knows me as Killykill will get confused. But first let me give you a brief history:
I was about 6 years old, and my brother bought Diablo 1. It's an awesome game (obv) and after having fun in single player, I decide to hit Battle.Net for the first time. And I'm hit with the extremely hard decision of naming my character. Now I know some of you are like "Just name it X!" WELL NO! I spent about one hour just thinking of a name. Eventually, I came up with the most original thing I could think of, Killykill. (I was 6 years old, remember!).
As time has gone on, I've continuously have been using that as my name for all things multi-player. Mainly because I don't want to be X in something, Y in something else and Z in a third game. It gets confusing!
But now I am sick and tired of this name created by a six year old. I need something cool, something awesomesauce, and something more mature and makes more sense than "Killykill".
So I decided what better place to look for answers than right here, in TeamLiquid, The Land of.....something... I believe in you people, to give me the greatest (but kinda orginal or unique spelling, so I can take it first) name ever imagined***.
Go think of anything, from Game references, to Mythology, to a mix of both, it doesn't really matter. Keep your magical box of thinking open. And the person who's name idea I choose, is the Winner. The Winner wins something, I just haven't decided yet. Maybe being a practice bitch in SC2 for 5 1v1s? Don't worry, I'll act like a horrible player to raise your self-esteem.
And...GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!
**Might be exaggerating my expectations just a tad bit.
P.S. I am a 600 point diamond player, so this makes my argument more valid than the person under me.
Well you should name yourself, killykill is obviously a horrible name, but you need to figure one out for yourself, just think of random letters, if you dont have better idea, and try to make a word which does not exist but sounds fluent. Like Khytar, means nothing, but starts with K and has Y in it, so pretty cool. Or take your real name, some of the names are cool, and using a real name is quite mature
or open up a greek mythology book/website, there are a shittone of not used cool names. Like Aether, an elemental god, i bet you never heard the name before
It's kinda hard to give you a name without knowing you/your interests. You can use your old name to get new names as well by removing letters, like - Illyk/Kiyil/Killyk/Lyki/Ykil.

No, no, no....not again.....
But as you probably guessed, I'm a big fan of Starcraft and other blizzard games, as well as RPGs (but not really JRPGs). And a big gamer ranging from Half-Life 2 and Starcraft to my favorite game of all time Deus Ex. The suggestions so far are pretty much what I expected (exception: Geo.Rion, thanks buddy!). So continue!
P.S. Whoever rated this 1 star is a horrible, horrible person.
EDIT: Your right Alou, but I thought it would be fun to do it this way. And if it's a fair amount of fun doing it, I might as well keep it, it would be a good story for later. Also, maybe one of you people will randomly say something I've been thinking/forgot about, and that'll be that. I'll probably end up naming myself anyways, but I might as well get random names out of a hat!
AND I AM CREATIVE DAMMIT! I just can't decide on a single thing yet.

I'm with Alou, you should really think of one yourself.
Generator told me your name should be Chimpy Nuts
Really? which one did you select? I got Danger Prone lol

My sister was also horrible at naming characters. She made an amazon in D2 and her online name was metallica. No she didnt know it was a band but she thought the name sounded pretty.

I remember when I was playing RO and couldn't think of any more character names to use (had 50+), I would just open my Chemistry book and look through the glossary. Ended up using Ketone and Aldehyde. :S And then when that ran out of cool words to use, I opened a world history book and just picked some names out of a list of Native American tribes.

Deus ex is fantastic. I considered naming my bnet profile Daedalus or TracerTong. As you can see, I opted for a shitty meme reference for my TL name.
Speaking of shitty meme references, name yourself CokeBottle.
Or just ask yourself, out loud, "What should I name myself?" and go with the first thing that pops into your brain (seriously, where the fuck did I get "tofucakes" from? I hate tofu).

That's what I did! (Inspired by Pellucidity, from IRC).
EDIT: Though I have better ones, it was too late to change on TL. I'm quite content with mine right now though.
seriosly. My name here was also made when I was around six or seven years old. Now I just cut the "chen" out ---> so it's simply "tonker" now. genius no?
Best method imo: Get some good ganja and read up on some crazy cool shit like greek mythology or astronomy and pick something that sounds good and feels right.
Pick a name that means something to you. Simple, but also necessary. Don't be afraid to change your name a few times until you find something that fits. I've gone through a million.
Absteros. Heero. Sake. Green. unnevermind. and more, but they're embarassing.
I settled on Bliss. Short, sweet, and to the point. Also a great song, and a great state of mind. Make up words. It doesn't matter as long as it means something to you.
Thanks everyone, it's given me awesome things to think about, and even though I'll probably not choose anything any one of you said, I'll go with your suggestions, and decide from there.
i giggled at killykill when i first read it, but reading through the thread actually made me appreciate it compared to the stuff people suggested. stick with killykill, it's good in a cute way. then again my name is jeejee so what do i know? (in my defense, i've been trying to change it for 1.5 years now. apparently people still won't know who i am or something. idk what the admin's excuse is now) but yeah, stick with killykill. it's awesome and you won't see others have a similar name
