This I've always been interested in. Although I only know a few, for example:

JulyZerg = Because he made his acct in July, and he plays Zerg

Grrrr... = Because he wanted to resemble a leadership-image. and Grrr represents a sound of lions/tigers (leaders of the jungle)

Rekrul = Because he spelled Lurker backwards


Anyone know of any more? I'd be interested in knowing why slayers_'boxer' got his name
or what exactly does iloveoov love? (oov = ? )
chojja/nal_ra/xellos/garimto/nada/ -- do these mean anything in korean?
JJu = stand for anything?
What does [Oops] stand for?

etc., etc., etc.

Slayers was a clan (name taken from a quite violent manga I think)
ilove is also sort of a clan as far as I know, and oov is just a smiley I guess chojja means bad player, nal_ra means 'want fly' xellos is a character in the slayers manga and he got it off a slayers mousepad, garimto is the sound probes make (according to someone), nada means 'it's me' (oops edited ;D)

chrh
DDang
Niza
PuSan
Mumyung
Sync
Legionnaire
a lot of weird and mysteries ones =P

Sync= boy band.
Chrh = first 2 syllables if you write chogosu (with korean spelling on) I guess that's where he got it from.
Pusan is Korea's second biggest city (I think, it's a port city at least)

ddong/foru = ddong meant shit, cause foru used to be in [DaK] clan which means chicken i think in korean, so Chicken Shit
JoYo = means lets eat chicken i think
legionnaire = from the old centuries, there were guards called legion's, theres also legionnaire's diseise
PuSan = pusans home town, speaks for it self.

Joyo only means lets eat chicken together with [dak] tag =]
Legionnaire's still exist today (foreign legion)

I heard that IntotheRainbow uses the nick as a form of respect for his mentor IntotheRain.

Mabbe Kingdom played some other games before and derived his nick from there. Kingdom Hearts? (guessing)

I suspect that zerglee's real name starts with Lee. And since he plays zerg, combined becomes zerglee.

I love SCVs!
