I was pretending to be a counter strike bot in a zombie bot server.

But an asshole admin demanded I changed my name or he would ban me, I just swaped a few letters around and here I am.

I got my name from this guy. Had to add an extra "l" cause it was already taken on XBox live.

I used to play Final Fantasy XI Online. I am not at all creative with names. I hit the random name button for my character, and Ayaz was born. Turns out, it's a not-uncommon real name. I have had a lot of middle eastern people pick up on it in FF, WoW, and SC2. I think it's pretty neat.

When I first started playing broodwar as a casual protoss my name was "ThoR" which was based on the Norse god Thor. NOt the comic book character or movie, just the actual god himself. In Starcraft II I had the ID "Thor" then "EVOThor" and now I'm under the ID as "InfThor" to represent my team "Clan Infinity. It sucks because I am seeing a lot more Thor's pop up in SC II because of the movie when it came out. I seriously consider myself the real "Thor" in the Starcraft scene. (not to be cocky)

One day, I needed a name that I could use on all of my accounts, because I would rather be called by one name, than be called by 100 names on 100 different websites/games. I had no imagination back then, didn't want to create accounts like firstname + lastname, and all the "good" names I knew were already taken in one game or another. So I went on a random letter generator. Set it to 7 letters, no vowels, no "uncommon" letters (like "z"). Hit generate 5 times, and the last one "tpcstld" because the username that I use for everything. Unpronounceable, but at least the name won't be taken by anyone before me right?

I got my name from the movie "Friday" with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker... the scene when the fat kid orders "ChiliFritos" from the drug dealer in the ice cream truck (Big Worm) and gets ripped off.

My cousin bought halo 1 right when it came out. i was 11 back then. i wanted to make a second profile in the game and it was automatically named Coop ... which is completly logical.

The cursor however was on the letter A. I presst the a-button on the controller. Doesnt work. Press Start. HERE WE GO.New Profile -> Coop-A =)
Oh yeah btw its pronounced just like the name cooper or the turtle in mario or the car or whatever. i heard the weirdest ways of pronouncing it. Especially my fellow german friends f*ck that up sometimes ;D But meanwhile i dont really care anymore.

Koh - opp- ah

My real first name is Olli, which when turned around is "illo" made my nickname in real life Hillo. (Finnish)
Basicly if I remember correctly my cousin called me that when I was 6 or so and it was quite annoying back then, but years later I thought it was kind of cool and started using it.

So that is what I basicly used untill I realized the pronounciation of the word in English. Everyone who would only hear my name would write it Hilo or something, and one guy actually called me Highlow which I thought was pretty funny.

Original WoW character name Ignigena, people couldn't pronounce it so they just called me Ig. I added the "lol" in WoW because I trolled trade channel all the time, the 420 was an inside joke in my guild where 69 and 420 were the best numbers.

Thats a pretty obscure inside joke, your guild must have been pretty exclusive.

"Aylear" is elvish for "Because 'Cane' was taken by some Peruvian dude who never used it".

+ Show Spoiler +

It's just a made-up, sorta-unique fallback name that doesn't actually mean anything.

I was making a xbox live nick for a 30day gold account... I usually go by Nederik, or Primetime, but I had exhausted pretty much every variation of spelling those...

I thought long and hard, then thought "heheheheheehe Funnelcakes. And I'mma spell it with a 4 lolz." I laughed so fuggin hard pwning on xbox live with that name, that I decided to stick with it.

My real name is Felix, and one day my friend had sort of fun linking our friendgroups names with animals, and somewhat kamelixs came up.

Kamel is *drumroll* Camel in swedish so Kamel+Felix=Kamelixs
It's a really silly name, but somehow it stuck as my handle

The story behind my nickname started back in Summer of 2007 when I started playing EVE Online. I named my main character as Ound.

The actual meaning initally was sort of ... none. It can be interpreted as owned and so forth ... but yeah.

Bit about myself since I don't see any "Introduce yourself threads" ( yeah, they'd probably be pretty huge etc. )

I am 20yr. old student from Latvia, studying Computer Science.
I used to play SC and SC:BW when I was little along with W3 but interest faded. Years went by and I came accross DotA and later on HoN Which grew more interest in genre. Last year I grew interest in RTS/A-RTS a lot more than before and I bought SC2.
Two RTS games and communities I really worship is Starcraft 2 and Dota 2.

My original ID on iccup was/is (akeOrI)eath. Cake Or Death is a line from a very hilarious monologue from British comedian Eddie Izzard (seen here). Some people us () as part of their clan tag, so I thought I would be clever and use it to make the "C" and "D".

Needless to say, no one could figure all this out without explanation. Monion, the creator of this thread couldn't even figure it out WITH explanation ( <3 you Morrell ). So I've slowly been making it more comprehensible with my TL ID here and then just plain CakeOrDeath for my SC2 ID.

One day my friend read the word Neast in english class and ever since it was an insider. Anyone who was annoying was called a neast and had no idea what was going on. I try to be as annoying as possible with my gameplay, hence the name.
