When I started playing WoW I was making my first char, a Night Elf female Priest. She kept jumping kinda much, like she was inpatient or anxious about sth, so Frisky kinda seemed to fit.

I dont actually nick Lixium anymore but iMewN but ill explain both

Lixium:
was looking for a nick in HoN (played this before Sc2) asked my mom for a cool element in the periodic table, she said Lithium and you see the connection i guess.

iMewN:
During blizzcon i watched some War3 and i saw this korean player ReMind and at the time i didn't remember that remind is a word but i thought it originally was the word Rewind with the W swapped for a M. So i picked a similar word Review... swapping V for M (because i pictured in my head that review was spelled rewiew there by swapping W for M like the Korean) and then i thought about it and i removed the Re getting Miew. I sounded like Mew the pokémon and then i just added on letters till i liked it, Ending up with iMewN pronounced immune

i know its a mess.

I made a mage on WoW and decided to name him after George Oscar Bluth, because he is a well known Illusionist.

My bnet id is just Mrwet, not fusionmrwet, and the idea behind it is i used to play basketball for my high school and when you have a good jumpshot it is said that your jumpshot is so to speak, "wet". There was one game where i shot 90%(9 for 10) and someone called me "Mrwet", and it was born lol

Ok so mine is a little personal but hey I'll give it a go. When i first started playing SC, my id was just my name. However i decided that i wanted a better id, something with some meaning and my family has always been really important to me. At first i was going to change it to "TheMissingSon" for my brother who passed a couple of years ago. I might use that one for HotS, if i get a name change and if i feel like it. then i got the idea of my nephews name "Jameson" after debating for a while i decided to split the two and make my SC2 id "Jameson" and my TL account "TheMissingSon."

Started as a typo, I thought was pretty cool cause people always see it as Immortal before looking carefully and realise its the complete opposite.

Also because I play an undead warlock.

My TL ID is pretty simple, I like the Sentinel from X-Men and its definition as well.

For bnet I go by SakuraSena, because she's hot.

First name is Cray, last two initials are A and B. Pretty simple tbh, lol. Dad came up with it for me when I was like, 12, and since then I've just stuck with it. Guess I'm just not that creative :D

My battle.net name is Inertiatic.

I came up with the "concept" of a strong moving force, which I think of as the progression and evolution of my character in my constant quest for betterment. This part of me always thought that "Inertia" was cool.

Also, there's a song by "The Mars Volta" called "Inertiatic ESP", which I like very much. Has a cool sound,so I chose it. This pretty much sealed the deal for me and I was very pleased to see that it wasn't taken already.

I went to go make a Justin.tv account with it and it was (surprisingly, imo) already taken. I then made a play off of the word and changing it to "Inertiaddict".

I like that, too, in it's own right, because it's like a need within myself to impose that momentum of energy.

Cool thread idea! ^_^

Nicodemus is my favorite character from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh (a.k.a. The Secret of Nimh movie) and a kickass name imo. It's always taken on popular sites, though. So the other bit is that I'm from Alaska, and we have...mushers. So...I just combined the two.

my tag currently is Smoru. but i still use YoRu often.

In 2001 I got Delta Force 2, it was the first game I played online, and competed in.

Since I was 11 at the time, and "yo momma" jokes were popular at the time, I chose the tag "Yo Mama". I kept that for about 5 years. During much of that time i was in a clan called 'Raiders Unleashed'. so with the clan tag I was Yo_momma-RU-. I felt my tag was immature, and wanted to keep the RU since I gained so much from being with the clan. So i dropped the 'momma' and became Yo-RU-. but I felt the -'s were weird, so I became YoRu.

One of my really good friends uses the tag 'wildman'. and we always add the endings to eachothers names to things. One day he added -ru to Smores and that produced Smoru. And here I am today!

Well, as I was picking my confirmation name for religion, I went to the catholic site to find a list of saint names. I looked around for the coolest looking names I could and I stumbled upon Saint Erotheis. After reading about him, I just instantly used the name everywhere.

Funny thing is, is that I didn't even end up picking Erotheis for my confirmation named lol. I do like this name a lot though.

I have an evil but funny friend (whose ID is now "DieTuba"), who keeps calling me Tuba. I am pretty sure he came up with the name one night when he was drunk and being a particular pain in the butt. Somehow it managed to catch on with my family too, so now I rarely ever hear my real name. When I do something wrong I get "Tuuubaaaaaaaaaah~!!" yelled at me. I've just kinda accepted it and started to use it for my ID since it's short and easy to type, and hearing people yell Tuba at me makes me laugh.
