My sister's name is Danielle, and I always call her Dan for short. My name is Eric and so she calls me "Er" or "air". I tried air on Age of Conan when it first came out on early release, but they don't allow three letters so I made up aeyr.

Then my friends keep saying "PUT YO HANDS IN THE AEYR, AE-, AEYR, AEYR" >< annoying song lol.

I'm a redhead, and this cute girl I liked started calling me Ranga because she said it was slang for redhead. We ended up becoming really good friends and whilst trying to think of a moniker in the shower better than "ginger" (what most people called me), it came to mind. So here I am : )

Tweeto, my name is Tito and when twitter first came out(which I do not use anymore for obvious reasons) a couple of buddies and I were drinking and tweeting and my friend said "Tito tweets so much I am going to call him Tweeto" and when I started playing Starcraft I wanted to have something original so I picked it.

well i chose keldrath for here as its been my gamer alias for the past 10 years or so originally it was just something i named my dark elf necromancer in Everquest, mainly because i liked names that start with K and it just sounded right for a dark elf so ive stuck with it for a long time its a name i like. but in SC2 i decided to name change to Entropy because i wanted a cool word kind of like a lot of the progamers had like Flash, Ir0n, Bisu, Boxer, etc so i chose that word, it has a cool meaning and i got the idea of that word from one of Hear'Dalis's swords in baldurs gate 2 which was my first RPG game and something very near and dear to my heart. he was a chatoic neutral tiefling bard that weilded two swords, Entropy and Chaos.

Might as well make this my first post

I'm a musician through and through, currently attending college for Music Engineering, and have been playing instruments since i was 5. Guitar, Piano, and Drums are my instruments of choice, nothing overly unique there, but its what i love doing. So naturally i chose the name Maestro, added some stylizing on the O, and an _ and theres my name

My handle was originally CanadienBandit1. I had a clan of Canadiens and everything. When we disbanded I wanted to keep the canadien vibe and just played around with words till I got MapleSparKz. I just get such a cool image in my head when I think about it ^_^

Well, it all started in 2006 or 2007 when i decided to start playing world of warcraft.! I used to be a warcraft 3 player but i cant remember what ID name i chose.. probably my name or something like that. Anyway i tried using my name as my character for world of warcraft but it didnt work sooo i used randomizer. As i kept looking for a cool name for my character beat.... something came out. So i deleted that something that came out and added beatrenger! like the power rengers which imo are awesome! and been using it ever since

I also use celtico thats for off characters or accounts and it came out cuz i really like the celtic history i find them aweseome!

I got my TL name from the private mercenary group in the Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory single-player. Displace just sounded very cool and original. The 77 was the number of my favorite athlete of all time: Ray Bourque.

I used to play Lord of the Rings Online. I had a Hobbit Hunter by the name of Bandocome. This was a direct result of the naming guidelines, so others eventually came up with that name, as well (though, I was the first). Because of this, I wanted to create a new name.

I wanted it to sound somewhat Hobbit-like, but still be original. For the suffix, "-grim," that was taken from the name of Isengrim Took. For the prefix, I wanted something completely unique, though. I knew "B" was a common letter for Hobbit names, plus my old name started with one. Hobbit names also tend to be simple, 2 syllable words (though, not always). The first thought that came to my mind was "Blad-," thus coming out with "Bladgrim"

It stuck. Do you think it sounds somewhat Hobbit-like?

Also, don't pronounce it "Blade - grim." I don't know why, but some people do. It's not pronounced like that, so don't.

My name comes my lost viking brother Olaf. It was taken when I first started playing World of Warcraft so I kept changing the letters around till I found something that looked good but sounded good too. I was like 11 when I started World of Warcraft. Btw Olad Sounds really silly Tired it for awhile guild made me change it...

I originally wanted "Who" as a tag, but it was taken, so I figured "Someone" was okey, and adding "one" with capitals just makes me seem alot better I think.
Now, the reason for "Who" is that, I thought like this: When I win a tournament the casters will go like: "WHO HAS JUST WON THE TOURNAMENT ZOMG!!!!" and everyone not knowing who the hell I am would be like wtf? But now it's more like "And now we see SomeONE's probe making his way into the terran base" (Day9-voice) and people will still be like wtf?

For the lulz : )))))

I've been a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan since 1993...they drafted Josh Freeman out of Kansas State in the Spring of 2009 to be their franchise quarterback.

The Fall of 2010 was his first full season as a starting quarterback, and the Fall of 2010 was when I started playing StarCraft II. I'm confident he will be a Pro Bowl quarterback for years to come, and I want my SC2 success to emulate and be analogous to his success in the NFL. :D

GO BUCS!

My cousins name for Counter-Strike when he played with H3X and what not was wettworrx. He chose the name wettworrx because of the Russian Wet Works.

He was always smooth and fluid with everything he did. Every action he took in game had a purpose and he executed it smoothly and just how it was supposed to during his matches.

I named myself Drryworrx because I am the exact opposite. Nothing I do is smooth or fluid or planned.

Originally meant healer in hawaiian. That was the role i played on WoW, the name just stuck. Unfortunately Team-Liquid already had an Iakona, so adding Lol was pretty standard.

Originally went by Magnus in BW, a name I got from Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber. Chose that because I enjoyed the game so much and he was a very pivotal character for me. For the other half I used to play Starkingdoms, and went as Enchilada Castle for quite a while, and was quite good at the game. So one round I was late to sign up and someone had taken that name and tried to pose as me, so I chose Osiris as my 2nd, 'rebirth' name. As time went on I stopped playing both, and when Halo 2 came out both had been taken as Xbox Live tags, so I decided to merge them into Magniris and I haven't looked back since. It's been my only tag for 7 years now.

Hey, that's the same story as me, only it was a teacher in high school and I imagined it as Aar, haha (being Aaron)
