Reason seemed a reasonable name.
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

Mine is quite lame.

I was in the market for a nickname when I first started using the internet a long long time ago. I had just learned about the Student T distribution in statistic and thought it was as good a place as any to start. I like knowledge and learning new stuff (Wikipedia FTW!) so I thought, why not honor that with a nickname. So Learner it was...

Then I actually forgot my password, had no way of recovering it, so I just added Neo (The Matrix FTW!) and started over.

When I was 12 I had just finished playing Final Fantasy 7 so went by the alias Cloud Strife for a while. Of course There were about 100000 Cloud Strife on the internet, and I wanted a name that was at least unique, so i could get it in MMO's and other games. Hence Cirrus - which is the name of a type of cloud formation.

Eli, that's a guy's name, right?
They're probably confusing it with Eri, which is a girl's name.
Koreans and Japanese have that problem with mixing up l and r.


Eri is also a guy name, its a unisex name I guess... And its weird how people confuse Eli

I love names like this. Ones that don't make sense or have a meaning, but just look or sound good when written or said. My old gamertag used to be Noofwah, it just sounded silly and about 80% of the kids on Halo 2 at that time couldn't pronounce it.

Lol yeah. I use this name for everything too. Made it up in elementary school when I first discovered AIM. I was like "username? I can be whoever i want to be?!?!?! What should I call myself?"

Stropheum was the first thing I made up that sounded cool, so I stuck with it, and I just use it for everything cause I know it will never be taken.

I'd imagine "Ender" is pretty obvious. Love the books by Orson Scott Card, so I've been using it or some variation of the name since... well, since I've been able to give myself a name in video games. Hell, I plan on naming my first son "Ender" whenever that happens somewhere (hopefully far!) down the line.

Cool ID now that you point out how you got it.

I started out with the nickname Infest. But my friends mocked me by calling me Incest. And then they thought my strategies was very stylish so yeah here I am lol...

I used to be a fairly hardcore Rainbow Six player, which is a one shot = one kill type game if you don't know. Reaction time is everything. Another clan member was getting frustrated during practice; because, no matter what he tried, I always got the jump on him. He exclaimed, "Jesus, you are a shifty motherf*&&#r!" Next day I made my name shiftY as a joke, and it sort of stuck.

My other nic is "killerSheep." We had sheep growing up, and my friends would come over to play roller hockey by jumping over the fence and walking thru the sheep pen. The one kid was convinced they were trying to bite him as he was climbing over. I laughed, because sheep don't even have front teeth. So, I made my warcraft 2 name killerSheep to make fun of him. That one stuck as well.

I use starskream as gamenick :D
I just loved transformers but seeing my favourite transformer name was always taken in games I just replaced the c with a k just to have a somewhat unique nickname in games :D
