WAY back during the day, my friend and i played a little online flash game together where you have a little ship and you run around and collect/ kill other players. Its was fun and slightly addicting (this was, o say 8-9 years ago maybe). His name was "easy-o". When it came time to make my first BW account i couldn't think of a name... So i stole his, except renamed it to eazo. In my head i still pronounce it easy-o.

When I was 6 or 7, I needed a profile name to play Starcraft with. At the time, my older brother was very into The Pinky and the Brain. Since pinky always said "narf!", my brother made my profile name Narfin. I've used it as every ID since, and for several years Narf was even the nickname my family used for me

i'm incredibly uncreative, so i could never come up with any good names. because of this i went for a funny-because-it's-random name. i liked the doctorphil show. i thought doctorphil was a humorous name.

First day at a new highschool I met this girl in gym class in the morning. We were doing archery. At noon I was looking around for a place to sit and the girl calls me over to her friends. She totally had forgoten my name so she introduced me as "Archer". Bam stuck as my highschool nickname.

The SC1 battlenet id i had used was Aldarisofaiur but eventually I just consolidated the two.

Nephrahim is the name of a character I used back on a Fire Emblem Web RPG years ago. I've kept it for making RP characters ever since, and over time, I've started using it for usernames and the like, because it's pretty unique and easy to remember (For me at least.)

It replaced my old username I thought of back when War 3 came out and used for stuff since, Sam_Drugbringer (I was like, 12. I thought it'd be cool to have drugs in the title >_>)

I used to play competitive Counter Strike and in that game my name was d3v1Ou5, eventually it started looking and sounding stupid. As I continued to follow the pro-scene, watching live matches, and replays I noticed a lot of players just used variations of their actual name as their tag. One notable one being Derek Boorn of Team Complexity and a few of the guys on SK Gaming (who MaDFroG plays for). So i just used the first letter of my first name "e" and threw in my last name "chow" as echO [W], if i cant use brackets I try to omit the W entirely or use an underscore.

This might just be breaking the rules, but I used to be a smurfer on TFT/BW. Radioactive was my name for the longest time when I was a young lad. Then it went to Bigrooster, because I was a prick online for fun.

As I matured, I stuck to the name I was given. Simple. I Am Jeffrey!

it's me on about everything

Ps3, tft, bw, sc2, etc etc.

My name is totally made up.
I was making a game using RPGmaker and randomly named the first two characters "Haijin" and "Leath", who were a team of treasure hunters in the plot. Haijin was the main character and I left the game open for the player to choose his path and develop him. Leath had a more complex background but was set in stone.

Not too long after, I downloaded Gunbound, and I couldn't use my internet aliases, Sagess, so I used Leath and stuck with it since then.

I stopped using Sagess because it sounds a bit girly. My intention was to use the French word for wisdom, sagesse, but I find it looks cooler without the last e. In English however, Sagess is just a female sage. T_T
...so yeah, Leath it is.

Var1ables i got from playing counter-strike strike where i'd play so badly but out of nowhere just ace or 3k like 4 rounds in a row so my team mates called me random and i thought "what's something that's random...OH VARIABLES" and it just stuck.I put the 1 in because i couldn't register my name as "variables" in a website somewhere and my epeen grew from that site so i kept the 1 in.

Well I have two that I use frequently.

STS17 is my oldest one, standing for Stealth Tactical Sniper (17 being my favorite number). The idea behind the name was that it stands for the role I enjoy most (and am consequently best at) in shooters, which is what I played mostly at the time I took it on.

The one I use in Starcraft and some other games is SouthPaw. Simply, because I am left-handed and like to play using unpredictable styles.

After Diablo 2 came out I choosed nick Tyrael, because I thought he was awesome... Well I found out there was like bazzilion other kids that thought nick Tyriel would be great for them and so I decided to change it. I searched for another archangel names and found Uriel. I liked it and so I started to use it.

RyuChus. My friend used to call me Ryu, so later i just put Chus on the end of it, for no reason really.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

Got mine from a friend.

He's really into the band Dillinger Escape Plan (I like some of their songs), and he told me about this funny interview about the band and how they were making fun of Avenged Sevenfold. Avenged Sevenfold's members have some goofy names like M-Shadows, Johnny Christ, etc. So for the interview, the drummer of Dillinger started calling himself G-darkness, since his first name was Greg.

I thought it was clever at the time.

I was a small kid who wanted to have a nickname when Diablo came out.
I asked my mom for help.

She gave me the nickname Crusader -_- I loved it

Later I realized that there are a billion Crusaders online and it doesn't sound good at all!

I changed it to CruZ which transformed into CruS to remove the last bad part about the nick )

I like fishing, and one day I fished up 16kg pike(it is a common predator fish in Europe), I was so happy it was the biggest fish in my life, and by coincidence my Skype account was hacked, so I had to think some new nickname. So 1st part "pike" is in the honor of the fish, and 2nd part "zeppelin" is because I was born in Lithuania, small country in north eastern Europe, where national dish is called "zeppelin", meat wrapped in potato mass thing(dunno how to call it) :D

I started using Peach a few years back when I was playing a lot of CoD4 with my friends.
One of my friend changed his name to Apple so I decided to go ahead and to change my name to a fruit aswell.
Peach though is quite often taken so I just slap on the Waldo because my friends call me that and I kinda like it
