We're gamers. If you're anything like me you didn't always stick to the same gamer tag/handle/scene handle/ whatever it is. So you probably changed it up a little.
Let's go through our histories and spill everything. What are your tags?
Here are mine, chronologically from as far back as I can remember.
Slashbang22(RS and old stuff I didn't make the name it was my cousins account) ThE_ElF(my friend made an account called Santa or something) omg...hehehe(I don't even know why) nikkoitalio(Well my name is Nick and I'm Italian.) Kratos(Uh God of War was good?) DoctorPhail(my first creative name...don't know what I was thinking but still makes me chuckle) DrHurt Insanity(one word names :D :D :D) KDoctor(For a coding site I used to help on called KBot) X(Used for coding/programming because it seemed simple and recognizable) Imagination(Again...I'm not sure) AbstractVoid(Programming) Adelphia(Meaning brotherhood in Greek got it from some songs Demise(Cool sounding 1 word name) Abstract(Noticing a theme? I just liked the simple one word effect of a powerful word)
Well mine are just embarassing.. (these start earlier than grade 6)..
Runescape: DarkWarder32 Starcraft BW: Psylent_Bunny Diablo 2: ExileOfHatred Warcraft3: InsaneMicro. (lol.. i still have this account) WoW: Tarnos.... after countless jokes and a server transfer i was bullied into Synapse... (i was in psychology 11).. later turned into synapze as synapse was taken on the next server i transfered to. Been synapze ever since ^_<
Rest of the games prior to these I couldn't really play online due to dial up. Dark Forces 2: Stonebull CS: DirkDeagler, Kralic and many other ones as I joined clans and what not. D2: Kralic and many others. BW: Can't remember, my last id was Mutalator[TDO] (loved zerg mutas). Any other game from 2002 on was pretty much Kralic, unless it was taken.
but i used chillamanjaroo for a long time (from that mountain in africa changed to a man who chills) i also like goofyboots plwner and i used freestyler when i used to play tribes 2 religiously
elementry school - demoman. i liked the TFC class high school - skware. i wanted something simple so i spelled square wrong. senior high school/college - Warpath. the song i was listening to at the time.
High school was mostly Natural Selection and i don't think i used my real name outside of tournaments. probably had like 100 smurf names while i played.
nick939 (earliest tag I can remember- was my first e-mail address and I used it for some forums and games- was probably 11 when I started using it)
I'm sure there are a few tags I used after this, but I only used them briefly for 1 or 2 different purposes each.
faber (when the band Faber Drive started up, they were quite obscure and known only as Faber- I had pretty bad taste in music at the time and decided to adopt the name for awhile)
frost[Tsu] (earliest bw tag I can remember- was part of a very old clan called Team Silent Union, kept the clan tag long after the clan dissolved because I liked the look of it)
Eclipse (again, might have tried out a couple minor tags after frost, but can't remember them- I used this tag for bw and numerous other things)
Soviet_Winter (was very into the Diplomacy 7.7 UMS games in bw for awhile- used this tag as apart of the Soviet clan)
3clipse (registered on gg.net and tl.net with this tag because Eclipse was taken, soon started using it as my regular bw handle)
aaaahhhhgggg (started used this tag, with a varying number of h's and g's, as an anonymous account when I wanted stress-free practice laddering- unfortunately, I used it so frequently that it became a regular handle people knew me by, defeating the purpose)
3.mZ)CrimsoN (last major team affiliation- just a group of friends, mostly awful players with Kawaiirice occasionally smurfing for us - kept using ahg and 3clipse accounts during and after my time with them)
Circean (current sc2 tag, also used for any new online games or forums)
Can't remember my BW tag Lone_Guitarist (War3/FT) ForNoOne88 (Pokerstars tag) RBKeys (since 2006) I haven't used this one for anything else. Got the tag after saying "Robbie Keane" over and over while playing FIFA. Robbie Keane = RRRBBEE KKEEEEAANNE = RBKEEEE = RBKeys
Umm... I wanted to play Zerg, so I tried to think of a pun on zerg units.
When I came to Roach, I immediately thought of encroach. And the word seemed very appropriate, since it means "to intrude on a person's territory" or "advance gradually in a way that causes damage." I capitalized the R to make the Roach part of the word stand out.
encRoach...
Yes, I know I am a genius. I would offer my brilliance for sale on TL, but I doubt enough of you could afford it.
As far as jdseemoreglass... it is a reference to a story by JD Salinger. "Seemoreglass" is usually already taken so I add a jd to refer to the initials JDS.
My name was Icup from like age 7-10 haha because if you spell it, it is I See You Pee. But since age ten my friend told me Cellar Door is the most beautiful phrase on earth and I have used it ever since.
I used "awais123" when I was like twelve and had no imagination since its just my first name with a bunch of numbers. After that it was "DragonFist" because I became obsessed with Bruce Lee. Now its "DrThorMD" because thors are wicked awesome and I'm studying to become a doctor. Also, it sounds really cool.
HL2DM: [51/5Ø]|I|Markoª Crysis Wars: Cakeboy BBC2:[51/50]Marko SC2: BoilOlo started using BoilOlo when i switched to playing Zerg. it doesn't mean anything, its just a word i made up that sounded cool. i also had alot of aliases over the years when i was incognito. most were movie references,some of them include:
Bill Carson Delbert Grady Dick Halloran Hans Gruber Leonard Smalls Derek Smalls Duane Mendoza etc, etc.
1st : Samfisher99 (Because Sam is a boss basically.) 2nd: NCmarine2 (Planetside) 3rd: Hawkeye1992 (Xbox live) 4th: UisTehSux (Xbox360 , inactive now.) 5th: OBPD|Knight or OBPDknight. The latter being my current SC2 name.
OBPD = Ormond Beach Police department. And I enjoy chess so I chose the nimble knight.
Silva - The very first I remember. I thought I was so unique. Then I met the internet.
Quatron_4 - For CS and SCBW
NAutyWardeN - For War3. I just typed that for the first time in years and it felt so natural <3 + Show Spoiler +
I played NE and and loved the Warden Hero - Blink and Shadow Strike OP!
Caladan - Shamelessly stolen from Steve Ericksons Gardens of the Moon. + Show Spoiler +
Caladan Brood is a seriously bad ass dude for those who have not read it.
Raina - My main Wow toon, also shamelessly stolen from Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth Series. + Show Spoiler +
Raina is something called a Mord Sith - an elite torture artist forged from years and years of training in pain. It turns out that she is a lesbian, she loves one of her sister Mord-Sith, Bernedette. After 4 books with these amazing characters, Bernedette gets sick with plague and dies. It's truly heartbreaking and makes for a sad paradox.
bad_alibi - For when I was feeling particularly bad ass.
Jarrydesque - Jarryd being my middle name and my obsession to add "esqe" to words. + Show Spoiler +
That is a Nonyesque build.
mizu - My SCII handle. Anime obsession took over. + Show Spoiler +
It means "water" in Japanese as far as I understand.
My first one ever was ChrisCross88, since my name is Chris... and that was about a decade ago. That was my first e-mail address.
Then I thought I'd be really cool and come up with DarkSilver007, since Dark is just an adjective that apparently goes well with anything, I like the color Silver (and I often get second in a lot of things), and 007 is a nice number to tack on to usernames (although I'm not a huge James Bond fan). That was my first AIM sn.
Then I changed my AIM sn to DarkMerco, since Merco was the coolest bad guy (in my opinion) of an N64 game called Mischief Makers.
Then I changed my AIM sn to TheJollyJoker414, since my birthday is April 14th and I found TheJollyJoker to be a cool name (I think it was from my mom's old pinball wizard video game).
In BroodWar and Diablo (I and II), I was DarkPlasmaBall and MagicPlasmaBall because I thought they sounded like a cool combination of awesome words and I was young and dorky
In SC2, DarkPlasmaBall didn't fit -.-' So now I'm PlasmaMango... since my last name is Mango
Phew!

d1ck.in.ur.ass c0ck.in.ur.ass
and I.bone.ur.ass
In Sc2 I decided to take a less aggressive tone and called myself MeowMeow.
My first came from the old Cheat Planet forums, where I called myself Radio, which now goes with a lot of my accounts where the name Malks is taken, such as Steam, Xbox Live etc
Malks is short for Malkius, which was my first character on WoW, when most of my guildies started calling me Malks, it just stuck, and I love the name now.
Hotstreak was another name I went by for a bit, he was my hardcore PvP mage in WoW too and it still tempts me to go back and play him every now and then, even though I'm not playing WoW atm
-Titian beacuse I thought I was a baller naming myself after a renaissance painter... But no I just misspelled titan. - Coworker. Beacuse I thought I was clever nameing myself cow orker. -Ficord I can't really tell you where I got this idea I just named the main character in my book for school this. -Sermokala Just liked the name one day again no idea why. -Whnomad. A nickname I got playing a game called AE astro empires. If you ever played the game you'd know why and if you didn't its really hard to explain.
I made a new account for SC:BW every few weeks at one point. Way too many to mention; eventually I settled with permutations of the word Shallow in between silly smurf accounts. My account name is a Breaking Benjamin song, go figure.

Stevarius... for pretty much ever. Made it up on my own and I've seen this name ZERO times elsewhere apart from a google search to see if someone stole it. Turns out some asshole pyrotechnician or something calls himself that.
I've only ever seen it taken ONCE. It was on WoW and I hopped servers to flame him like hell for copying my name.
Lochin - Tried to come up with something unique that didn't sound completely retarded. I think there's a Scottish boat company by this name, but I'd say I came close enough.
Born-to-porn - A completely retarded name that makes no sense at all and got me automatically booted from 50% of all public games that I joined. I still ended up using it for the longest time.
Beater - Been using this for quite a few years now. I originally settled on it because I wanted an imposing and scary-sounding name.
I started using Aragorn back in 1997 when i discovered online gaming, however after the LoTR movies came out LoTR nicknames were more common then std's....... so i decided to switch to something else.
I had no clue what to name myself, so i kinda wanted a mystical name which also sounds a bit to my real name and came up with "Mithriel". Emiel is my first name, so last 3 letters are the same, and Mithril is used in the lord of the ring books, hence i combined the two and used it ever since
CS nicks were: Aragorn in different clans and [6K^Ed-woods] i believe it was in the old 4k pisstake clan
after that in wow different variations of Mithriel in any kind of form
- darkchaos63 (runescape) - darkhos (runescape) <- someone actually mispronounced my first nick, which became this - deadakos (maplestory, gunbound) - iit-Ze (deviantart) - synapse(SC:BW & TL) <- flipped through dictionary to find this - Synapsii / [Z]ilika(GunZ) <- yes, I really like the double "i" thing - EtCetera / Skyward / Flygon / SodiumFree(AVA) - Nazulii (maplestory w/ TL players) - synApse(SCII)
synapse/synapsii I pretty much use for everything now... usually synapse is taken or I just feel that there are too many people with the same name so I go with synapsii
bawlz_almighty on iccup you may recall me as a flamer... if so! HI! I watched the show purepwnage alot and the main character mentioned his bawlz alot of the time. This explains that. Stabwound987 on the xbox 360 was a song from necrophagist And PWN3R3D is from metal gear solid ONLINE i juste stuck to it. In starcraft 2 i am MoosE.881 cauz im canadian and i like moose's...dont judge me!

This is sick, because my Starcraft ID for the longest time was Stabwound, from the Necrophagist song..sorry if you tried to get it and couldn't hahaha
PreX- (CS, WC3, SC:BW, Starwars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast [HOW i love this game <3 ] ) kroz (CS, WoW) TOCHMY (This is my irl nickname aswell as my TL nickname and most of the new games i start playing) Teejay (Sc2)
Always found lampposts or streetlights interesting, so I decided to use the name. My first widely used name was Makeitbleed(i was young and it sounded cool)
Dragon Defonce means stoned dragon in french. I'm not actually a stoner lol
My SC name is Solid. I was playing MGS and SSBB few weeks before I got my beta account. Also, I'm a physics major and back when they used to have identifiers, I thought it was cool to have the name Solid.State. Even after the change to numbers, I kept Solid.
Chickenwing - (awesome food, used for CoD2) Imburnt - (Name I used for WoW as well as other random games) Skeletor34 - (What I have been using as of late for everything, best character of all time)
Deutschbag - Diablo II Smiter, a play on words and and poking fun at my heritage (anyone USEast want to go ubering?) + Show Spoiler +
TheQuietPlace - Diablo II Trapsin StandAblaze - Diablo II Bowzon HCDeathroll - Diablo II Melee Sorc, yes melee sorc was a viable build and could handle Ubers (I played so much DII, I went by these names A LOT as well as dozens of others)
Aardus - Wow main, how embarrassing.
Steve - My SC2 name, pretty straightforward, although its like putting a flag on my forehead that says "make fun of me"
My handle is a throwback/reference to middle/high school gaming with my good buddies back then... Other than brood war, we used to use this Japanese program called RPG Maker XP to make games in the style of Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy etc.... The program was pretty sick, it would let you make your own maps, settings, event triggers, weapons/armor classes, and it would even import .wma and .mpg files for cutscenes in the storyline....
Boundless comes from the hierarchy of weapon/armor classes that we had back in the day. From worst stats to best stats, it went: (don't ask me how I remember this, it must have been ~19 years ago)
BW: Helmofterror Gamefaqs: FFZidane Other: Xanthosis19 My old Teamliquid account: Thoreezhea Youtube: RavingDragoon Before name change on Teamliquid: Alekh47 exploding.godhand SC2 name: Xase
lol i loved thread like this it bring back such good memories xD
-=[2c00l4u]=-d4l33taZn$n!p3r : the specialists mex.pr1d3//Juannie : quake 3 excesivie ++ JuAnAlD_thE_MagIciAn : day of defeat jUaNaLdTrUmP : lord of the rings 4
I've used shitloads of random names. I can't remember them all. The only one's I can remember using are the ones for accounts that I still use.
Varpulis- Slavic god of storm winds. (I've used variations of this name for ages, ever since I started playing quakelive. Variations include VarpuliS and Varpuli5) I use this for most RTS games and it's my WoL handle.
Oystermeister- I'm a big fan of Lewis Carroll, especially his poem The Walrus and the Carpenter. I thought up this name, and love it. It's even in my sig, I love it so much.
Quesa (every MMO from EQ through '07 or '08, although after WoW I never played another MMO for more than a week) - I came up with that name when I was trying to come up with something non-threatening for my healer on the European UO server, something that wouldn't connotate PK/thief when I ran up to total strangers who were fighting to bandage them. Worked quite well. Decided to keep it for my dwarf cleric in EQ and then spent 250 days between 99-02 on him.
JOSpot (Counter-Strike) - I wanted something unassuming, I rather liked it until idiots started pronouncing it as 'JossPot.'
Switch - Nickname given to me by my Snowboarding team as a teenager, because I rode Switch as well as regular. Its what my RL friends call me still, used it for my tag during all games from DN3D thru to Star Trek: Orion Pirates.
Emythrel - WoW name for my first toon, it means one of magic. I've kept it ever since as i like it, my gf even calls me Emy from time to time... usually when im gaming and not responding to my real name lol.
Dragonslayer - Warcraft 2 - 2nd grade (my parents were cooler than yours) Chunks - warcraft 2 - 3rd grade (name originated because I wanted to be trunks for halloween my mom thought i said chunks) Fire!!! - diablo - 3rd grade (fuck yeah for old old bnet allowing !) Squishy-1 - Warcraft 3, diablo 2, sc - 5th grade to now I had a few other ones but they didnt last long enough to count, whenever squishy, thesquishy or squishy-1 are taken i make my name some mix of squid, meow, or squishy (squidmeow) (squishysquid)
Superflood - was trying to find something for my first online name, this was a brand of floodlight in the computer room. Seemed pretty cool until someone else started using it as well (damn you superflood@hotmail.com!)
Sanctimonius - came about from an online convo I was having with a friend when I found out Superflood was taken at hotmail. Became my online name from then on. Been about ten years now.
Kroatoan - because sanctimonius is being taken on everything too Plus it sounds better as a gaming name, but I want to change it to...
Mukluk - another one that came about from a conversation between me and friends. Waiting for the name change to open up so I can be this on Starcraft too
GoldenTaurus (BW/DotA) Haxorcist (DoD/TF2/CS) TrogdorTheBurn (DotA/DoD/LoL) ( http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html ) C1ubberLang (DotA) (Mr T in a Rocky film. Yes Plz) RandalGraves (DotA) (Watch Clerks or CLerks 2) B1oodNinja (LoL/SC2) (NSFW so google it for a laugh)
I also have had a number of GW, AoC, LotR:O, Vindictus characters but those names are personalized to the character and rarely get carried over. I think the only one I carry over is Faegernes (bastardized elvish for something I no longer remember) which I use for female warrior classes.
minotaur - Because Minotaurs are fucking awesome, especially in Heroes of Might and Magic, haha.
mInOtAuR - OH GOD THE ALTERNATING CAPITALIZATION BURNS MY EYES. Thought it would be cooler back then. Boy, was I wrong.
Minotaur - Phew, I've grown up a bit at this point, but annoyed at other people with the same nickname forcing me to add numbers or stuff like that. Mino - What I use now, but I'll add as many Minos behind until one of them isn't taken. The most extreme so far is my Skype ID, MinoMinoMinoMinoMinoMino.
Starfire - My first ID when I first logged onto B.net to play WC2/SC. Was about 10-12yr old when I made this. Thought it sounded awesome. Then fucking Teen Titans came out and I got asked every day if I was named after the character Starfire on that stupid show. Got frustrated and had to change my ID.
Daykiller - Solely my MMO name. Started playing WoW at patch 1.1, right before BG's were introduced. First class was a rogue so I wanted a name to match what my class. Wanted to name myself Nightkiller, rogues kill people in the night etc, but it was taken so I took the opposite, Day. Various variations of this name for my entire length of WoW, up till last patch before Cata.
--> - My FPS name. I've messed around with my FPS ID the most, usually liked symbols or funny faces etc and I eventually chose this because it kinda looked like an arrow. People usually called me arrow or arrowdude (also my youtube ID lol). Atm my name for steam is --> [FFN], clan server I play the most on TF2.
Zooper - Honestly idk how I came up with this name. I know I thought for awhile before deciding on it. I usually use this for everything not related to MMO's or FPS's, it also usually has 31 on the end of it if numbers are allowed. It's slowly become my main ID for everything though. Won't overtake MMO though because I've forged too much with that certain name to lose it lol.
I think thats all the names I've used through my gaming career. Also "The Swamp" is usually what I call my band in any music game since it's a play on my real name.
Jonoman92 I'm not sure why I decided on Jonoman... When I was younger my teammates on my soccer team called me Jono so that may be wher part of it came from. I'm born in 1991 so I added on 91, but I forgot the password to the account on USEAST so I made another one with 92 at the end instead.
sMi.Arcology Joined the team sMi which I was super-excited about since they had some gosu players like NonY on it in the past. Decided I wanted a new nick, so I used the nick of my friend from USEAST who I'd thought stopped playing.
Skillet My friend on USEAST resurfaced and was like wtf you stole my nick! And I realized I was dumb for doing that. I chose Skillet because it's just an interesting word. Kind of wish I hadn't chosen it because apparently there is some well-known band named Skillet and people always think I'm named for them.
I've been using moose juice for an online name since the first online game i played. the best part about it now is hearing people's reactions to it, but when i first made it i was in like 6th grade and just thought it sounded good and didn't really think much of what it might be interpreted as...
[Red A Link (Runescape, Halo2,3,Reach, XBL ingeneral, Everything before Starcraft 2 came out) {Red was my favourite colour Link was my hero and "a" was my first intial grade 2 nuff said}
aLittleIndian Starcraft 2 (before name change) { my name is Ali and im small and asian indian when my friend came up with this i loved it but unfortunatley in Bnet it could only hold " aLitleIndian and i didn't like the way it looked so after the free name change i became}
Mutality (SC2) {i came up with this name while i was in English class [gr9] and my teacher was explaining the meaning of the word "Frugality" and it sounded awesome especially with his scottish accent and i instantly went to work thinking that that would be a sick ID and i instantly mixed the name of my favourite unit and the word i just learned and came up with MUTALITY!
SHADOWasianMAN - Name on GFAQs, and early games like Half Life 2: Death Match and Runescape. Also for early forums. ONE forum I still go to after ~4 years I'M still known by this but now they've shortened to Shads. Kiem Chay Mau - Means Bleeding Sword in Vietnamese. Both this and the first name I came up with when I was 14, so. Fantasy! - Steam account, Actually not taken off Fantasy, but it was the first track of Kotaro Oshio's first album Starting Point. Thienan567 - My first name, then 567 in case someone already took my name. Is almost never taken, so naturally I roll with this nowadays.
Blasterion is Blaster Ion read in one single word. Not sure why I picked it I just did... lol I can't place why I made the name.... it had to do something with Hyperion(not the Battlecruiser but something else).
CS:Source: Omega - Sounds cool but every man and his dog has a greek letter as their name Mega - I met a guy called Omega and we 1v1'd for the name, i got owned MooShoo - After the whale from futurama WoW: RippymcStab - Rogue, go figure Superfun - After 'superfunhappyslide' from the simpsons Bluwiggleman - I decided to make the most retarded looking character possible, that, of course, has to be troll. TF2: Grug - From those childrens books + A whole bunch of funny names because everyone on tf2 has a funny name e.g Dildo Baggins, Harry Dickson-Balls, TheBestPlayerEver etc QL: TheLizardKing - After jim morrison Sppaceman - After a song by the Killers, i forget whats it's called Freshest - After Fresh Prince of bel air (fuck yeah), also i could make a clan called minty and lols would ensue.
Now it's Frogurt after that halloween episode of the simpsons with the cursed toy-shop owner. I've had people quote that episode at the start of games and i laugh so hard i forget the build i was going to do.

Runescape- Sheepking400 (LOL) APOCALYPSE I've also (while using APOCALYPSE), used The Champion, Bishop, The Green Beat Farmer, The Purple Toe. Sergeio (for WoW)
Ever since Halo: CE, APOCALYPSE and as many variations of it as you can think.
Most of the others were xbox live alts when they had that weird bug where you could keep making accounts with different names to play for 30 days at a time for free O.o
I think I used the purple toe for AIM at one time, but thats it
well i choose meep, cause of roadrunner meep meep! thats the story :D and irritation becaue my brother and i played HoN & Dota together and you can write lrritation&Irritation with l and i and it looks the same kind of irritating :D
Come to think of it, I've been using "Kuror" for a long time now. I think when I started playing WoW I pressed the random name button and Kuror seemed awesome ^_^
SSJ4zealot (the dbz phase evry1 goes through) dieall1 (rofl my 5th grade bw days) crazyazn198 (bw also my go to ign for any game including CS, WoW, Diable 2, etc for about 5-6 years) xXazndeath6Xx (facepalm) Ph4se.[r1Ft] (bw) stoopidsin93 (maplestory rofl) LH.pyr0 (some rpgs/fps) br3aK[g0d] (bw/iccup/sc2)
JPSmash - BW, WC3, Runescape Atomsmasher - Runescape alt Homosaurus, Faguette - Both WoW characters. I had a bet with myself and my guild to see how long I could go without getting reported. Still had em when I quit. Jergen - SC2, LoL, Warsow, TF2 Goatsi - Smurfing
my first nickname was 5t0rm... man was i 1337! i topped that in wc3 with h3ll-5t0rm since 5t0rm was taken already
i decided i needed something new so i came up with raiz... i think i was watching stargate atlantis at that time and in the german dubbed version they pronounced "wraith" pretty stupid so i always understood something like "race" or "raze" or whatever, so i fiddled around with that
in any rpg like games i usually go with Xakosch for male and Sheebu for female chars
fliedlice was my id in the sc2 beta... it somehow refused to take raiz so i came up with something new on the fly :|
1996 - ~9 years old - Diablo I - ~Demon_Slayer~ 1998 - ~11 years old - Starcraft - ~Ready2Kill~ 2002 - ~14 years old - Warcraft III - TheHellscream 2003 - ~15 years old - Warcraft III - Mikilatov
And it hasn't changed, nor will ever change, since 2003
Hm... I used some permutation of my Korean name hanjongsun hanjongsun91 hanjongsun520 etc
Uh other names I used: BananaHan (Runescape; lol my friend made the name for me ) SuperRegular (MapleStory, BW) lightrxn (Gunbound, random forums, BW) LastRegrets (BW, SC2) Food5 () JSH (Main Forums, IRC, FFR)
TheThing - i liked the game KevinMitnick (ET) - young and stupid, i thought using name from famous hacker would make me cool ArYeS - I really like this one, still use it for everything almost InversedOne - new nickname i started to use in gaming year ago
catroa KiiLx??? (WaW team, cant remember personal handle for this one) Catroa SprinT xF (MW2 Team) Virginia uR (Another MW2 team) Accatroa TamTam BMnex (Joke for 2v2 in SC2)
I joined a Stronghold playing community under the name "natehamm" a combination of my first and last name. Then i joined Gametoast.com a SWBF2 modding community under the name "Commander_Cody771" and my handle in the game was "CommanderCody". Then I started playing Call of Duty 4 and my name there was "Altair". Then Time went by and my name evolved into "TheLaw".
not all of them but here were a few theHIGHtemplar (made for SC1 when i was in elementary school, thought the HIGH was pretty witty as it coulda meant high on drugs but now that i look at it it doesnt make sense. also hts own :D) mayfall[gm] (SC1-SC2 Beta random words i put together that sounded cool, probably had its origins from starfall the night elf ability. added the gm to sound more professional :x) Gyalgatine (SC2-Present cool sounding word i guess.)
Cracken was the last name of Pash Cracken, A-Wing pilot in the X-Wing novel series. In my X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter/X-Wing Alliance days, I was a pretty damned good A-Wing pilot. I could take on a TIE-Defender 1v1 and always come out on top.
Cracken was taken on AIM, so I added the Japanese -san at the end of it. It's been my user name in all games except for RPG's and MMO's.
13lindfire I may have played on Gears, but it's hard to say. There are a lot of "blindfire" variants on XBL (because it's a badass sounding name, of course!). Did you play GoW2 at all?
As for me, I haven't used too many tags in my career.
barrelldragon2368 I think this was for neopets.. back in the early days of Yugioh, Barrell Dragon was my favourite monster because it looked so awesome haha. 2368 was a random string of digits they put behind my name because barrelldragon was already taken.
tristan_cow ->nearly every online game I've played since neopets (which actually isn't a lot). The only one I can recall is a game called Adventure Quest, actually .____. Tristan is my actual name, while my first girlfriend liked cows and drawing cute pictures of our beloved bovine friend. I therefore took an affinity towards them as well, and being uncreative, incorporated the word 'cow' in my name as before. I use this name (or spinoffs of it) for nearly everything, like email or youtube account, just so I don't have to memorize a bunch of usernames, haha.
Twilalala -> DotA, SCBW The first time I played dota (lan party), a girl was watching me play. Her name was Twila (sexysexy name) and since tristan_cow was getting to be a bit uncreative for me, I changed it to that.
Ambarella -> SC2 A spinoff of my current girlfriend's name (Ambar). Similar to how Rhianna sings the word "umbrella". genius right?
this was my first post on this site ever, maybe people usually don't write as much as i do on TL, sorry if i did, haha.
Absteros was my original. Looks like I stole it from Ubisoft (damn you Abstergo). KingAbsteros became my character on RuneScape since I mucked up my Absteros account.
Went through a bunch of name changes in beginning of Counterstrike, settled with Heero.
Times changed, and liked SakE better. More changes, and I became unneverminD.
Joined NLCS, changed name to Bliss. That's all I use now. I'll become Blisse if it's already taken.
atomicclock33 KwizatzHaderach -- lol middle school. Eluvieron Then for a while I swapped between qikink / eluv
and back to eluv currently, where I think I'll stay. I use my tags for a long time usually, and tend to use the same ones across a lot of different games.
LM stands for Lins Mandarin, my chinese friends parent's restaurant that "sponsored" us for playing counterstrike.
And Peaches was my nickname ever since i went camping with friends and we had some funny joke going on about peaches and cream and they ended up calling me peaches ever since
RustyC (RuneScape) Rusty (FPS) Illuminati (Rusty was too common in the competitive CoD4 scene) Rustayy (WAR and some other stuff I dabbled in)
I signed up for a hosting website, and it had the first three letters of my first and last name as the URL for my control panel, hence:
Ruscur (for a decent while, mainly around FPS before I quit)
Changed it slightly, has a cooler sound and it's a reference to Nascour from Pokemon Coliseum.
Ruscour (DotA, HoN, WoW, WC3 and everything else I've played).
I love my tag. Some people mangle its pronunciation (it's pronounced russ-core, some people try and do some sort of 'russ-cower' thing with it), but it references my name and my favourite game as a kid. Plus, it's never ever been taken, and I can easily monitor everywhere on the net I'm involved in by simply googling it.
Never been very good with names. I only have one character per server in WoW because I can never come up with names I'm happy with :D
Wow some of these are awesome! Brings back some awesome memories!
Tammo Hare (Runescape, and to this day The Long Patrol is one of my favorite books) I Cant Aim (America's Army, when i was terrible) Hunter of the Weak (America's Army, when I got better) Pandorac (Star Wars Galaxies and everything since)
Saga - (StarWars Racer) Back when I was 7 I became addicted to this game trying to beat my mum's track times. I just thought of the name while watching Saint Seiya. (2000) Toxotes - (AoE2, AoM) Used to LAN with my brother and friends. Greek for Archers, it represents my favorite unit in AoM (2001 - 2007) WeaponXAssassin - (PSN) I had to think of a name on the spot when I got my PS3 and I had just read a Deadpool comic. (2007) ChaoticBlack - (PSN, TL) The Chaotic came from NeverWinter nights where I used to be Chaotic Good and Black came from a joke my friends used to make about me acting black since I was the only lighter skinned person in the whole family Screwby - (SC2 and Everything else) Its a recent name change. I didn't like ChaoticBlack anymore so I decided to change. I've seen Generation Kill about 4 times already and liked how Stafford said screwby. Surprised its never taken I decided to stick with it

wtf you read Dune in Middle School? shit never made sense to me -_-..
Chidori Hero/Rasengan Spy in RS (middle school like everyone else.. i chose Chidori or Rasengan from Narutard and id choose an occupation or something that would fit. Hero and Spy came.. Spy is pretty lame :d) + Show Spoiler [long BW name history] +
in BW, i became Rasengan spy at first. then i became.. KYUBII (i joined a narutard clan and the tag with Kyuubi was taken. so i made myself unique.) Then i met a friend and i got accs like Heterosexual. i used Hetero for a while and i think i used Kenpachi/Mayuri for a bit too. Then i started using Ursadon (when i first watched GOMTV) I was then 956[4] (9999 Ladder on USEAST That i still have :3) and i think i because Grimmjow@ALL Blizz Servers Kenpachi, Mayuri and Grimmjow are all names of Bleach characters but i grew to hate the anime. Kenpachi is a baller so im Kenpachi at TL after that, i was in desperate search for a cool name that didnt rely on anime or pandabearguy.. And i think then, i obtained a plethora of original names on USEast and i started to use Hawk@USEast. But i was also a iCCup user and i became ._ after antoher long username history. Although, i wanted to be Tyrant over anything else and that was my ultimate goal but i never did..
tl;dr: i got a lot of accs and i chose Hawk at the end
Until now. If a game is associated with TL, i tend to have an SC reference or be plain TLKenpachi. Otherwise, i have Tyrant in my name (SC2 acc is Tyrant, LoL is GosuTyRanT, etc etc..)
As far back as I can remember: 4th Grade (neopets)- qazwsxedcrfvtgb392- since it looked cool on the keyboard 4th Grade (neopets)- yoyonellyb- Nelly B is a ghetto around where I live, and I added "yoyo" to be gangster 5th Grade (msn)- Rei_Kun340 some girl came up with it for me 6th Grade- (aim)- jumpingspidercat- I have no clue where I came up with this... 6th Grade- (Gaia)- UnderTheTrees- I liked the idea of being in the shade I guess? 7th Grade- (Gaia)- TheRealJesus- I had long hair like Jesus LOL 7th Grade- (Halo)- HeyZeus- Since "therealjesus" offended my friend's family when we were playing halo and he was shooting me, I decided to use "HeyZeus" 8th-9th Grade- TheRealJesus stuck around for a few more years 10th Grade- GabeWinsAgain- My Xbox Live Tag I thought it was clever xD Late 10th Grade/11th Grade- (BW) GabeIzPro- I picked BW back up a bit, and the 'iTz' and '17z' from XboxLive names stuck around 12th Grade- Omniscient- I played Age of Mythology when I was in like 6th grade, and my favorite upgrade was 'Omniscience' Which was like a map hack basically. I really like the word, so decided to use Omniscient since NachoCheese and GabeTheBeast were kind of lame :X Now: AKidNamedOmni :O I liked the ring to kid cudi's mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi", so I decided to steal it! Also, not many people could pronounce Omniscient for some reason...
i've always been so uncreative with them, its just my name. i've been tempted to change to the old german meaning of rolfe which is either redwolf or famouswolf.
Jet - First name I can really remember sticking with. I used it when I was playing CS and WC3. LambtrOn - Pretty much since SC2 came out. It's my DJ name as well. You get a cookie if you know where 'Lambtron' comes from.
2. Satyr - Once I started going for Lans/PC bangs; the creature type from warcraft universe (sounds alot like my real name also what most of friends call me)
My first one was mookie0208, grandparents called me mookie and my paper route was number 0208 xDD. After that i went between a whole bunch of names and ended up setting on Mihyaru for my WoW main. somebody told me that was my name in japanese or something ( no idea if this is true or not ) I then became Mihai because my wow buddies couldn't pronounce mihyaru so thats what they called me (about a month ago i found out a sc2 progamer uses that name coolshit!) Now i go by Nidhogg, wich is my favorite figure from norse mythology.
I originally used Bcron (a portmanteau of my first and last name) as the name for my Rogue when I started playing WoW. Everyone called me 'B', so when the name change option came, I changed the Rogue's name to Bx (it wasn't already in use on my server, so awesome for snagging a 2 letter name)
I changed my main to Death Knight, and named it Bxk, when Wrath came out (and all my alts were named like that, Bxt for my tank, Bxp for priest, so people could /who Bx and find me, 'Bx' kinda turned into a very boring, orderly system of naming for me). I just kinda carried it over to this. I couldn't use Bx because SCII requires 3 characters.
Started on Xbox Live with the tag SteelLorenz, I typed my name and that was the only cool suggestion they displayed so I picked it. Everyone on my friend list called me Steel for short obviously so that has always been my tag or some version such as Steel91 Steelz91 etc because Steel is usually taken.
methoD (Unreal Tournament - UT2004 -- had some CPL success with Clan Continuance) GnollPorn (WC3 - top 200 on the lowly west coast Lordaeron ladder...) IPA (SC2 and onward)
kenny875 - (BW, CS 1.0-1.3 ish) was my cousins battle.net account for sc1, i used his cd's for a bit and also used his account, i was like 8 years old or so when sc hit and did not know you could make infinity accounts. ironically neither of our names are kenny.
moved onto SnIp3rWoLf for cs 1.3 to around 1.5
Then Phayze from then on. I dabble with other alias as smurfs, recently a play on my last name.
Been Hikikomori for as long as I've been able to input a name into a game save. Then the word started getting popular and now everyone think's I've stolen it from anime or that I'm some otaku, although I am a little.
When I was 10? The Assassin 14? Ownage or some numbers variant. Pretty lame. I liked General Mr. Clean for BF2. Having mr clean avatar on forums was fun. Now I'm content on Joker.
Neo7 First handle. Name and favorite number. Still use this and prefer to keep it like this.
EnsignN7 More for forums and websites. Was created when I found "Neo7" claimed already. Ensign is a Navy rank (I found cool sounding at the time) with N7 being Neo7. At first it was just Ensign but eventually added the N7 part to it.
Life Sympathy Originally an alt at another website that allowed spaces in usernames. Neat name to use when I can use spaces (so pretty much LAN stuff exclusively). Named after the anime concept from Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure
Crescendo My StarCraft 2 handle. I would have liked to use Neo7 but numbers were not allowed in the name and I absolutely refuse to put it as NeoSeven (the numeral "7" is extremely important in my handle). Named after the musical dynamic.
Xeteh is a name I've been using for a very long time at this point. I mostly play fantasy RPGs/MMOs and Xeteh is a name I use. I tend to lean towards the realistic fantasy (i think that is an oxymoron) names when playing pretty much anything. It doesn't mean anything I just always thought it was pretty cool.
DeckTyrant - used it from 03-05 for yugioh forums Teogamer - used it from then till now for pretty much everything from xbox live, runescape, wow, and sc
but i've stuck with "Fir3fly" for a while, since runescape and CS1.6 days. but AS OF LATE, i've changed it to "DotraR". just because i got sick of the unoriginal "fir3fly"
I have been using Yandi ever since my first online game Earth and Beyond (space sim) awesome game back in early highschool which my dad (zaciroll) and his mate (zandolf) got me into, it was funny/sad at the same time the day I created my account they announced they were shutting down the game in 6months but we played the crap outta that game in that short amount of time then moved to starwars galaxies for a year or two then eventually wow and was Yandi in both, but when battlefid 2 came out I'm sure it was inbetween swg and wow a group of friends and I made up the xDbSx clan tag and all ran with that, so when sc2 came along I went with DbSYandi to remember all the good times that were had!
My name history is quite short, eventhough it spans quite a lot of time.
- [DBE]Merlin (or often just dbemerlin because [] were often blocked) My first handle that i took about a year few years before SC1 was released. DBE (Deep Blue Eyes - don't ask, i have no clue why) was a "Clan" of my brother, some of his friends and me.
- Morfildur Switched to that with Neverwinter Nights because i found the Name "Merlin" to be far too common. Was generated by the Neverwinter Nights random name generator.
aznmetaldragon <-- Back in the day when Neopets was teh shit metaldragon1023 <-- For majority of gaming life mdragon1023 <-- when ^ doesn't fit Now I use either Ryuu314 or Caesor
Craidarroch- Knights of Noblemen and Lords of MMO- two text-based games. Passafist- SCBW iCCup and SC2 Pas5afist- SCBW US West and East- someone swiped Passafist on Battlenet 1.0- But I don't think I've ever got to play under the Pas5afist alias. For some reason, I always got booted out/ Banned- (iCCup was down at the time and I was bored.) Maybe they don't like 0-0 records?
Origin of Passafist: When I was coming up with a gamer tag, I thought about using Falling, my go to forum name. However, there was a band by the name Passafist. Never like their sound, but I liked the play on words. Also, being a Mennonite of pacifist roots, playing a war game... it was too good a self-contradiction to miss.
namste - comes from the word namaste, which is a commonly used greeting originated from Nepal and other countries of that area, I believe. It roughly translates into "I bow to you". Somehow I figured that the name would have sort of a hidden deeper meaning behind it, and no one else seems to have thought of it since it's almost always available on forums and in games.
Wow. Thinking back I really only played a few games where I required a handle, but my original SC1 log in was LittleTinFrog. I had another account, but I rarely used it and I cannot remember the name. For a long time I use TheFalseProphet for things on and of, and then TheGodfather for awhile. I like titles with "The" in them. =) It makes me feel special.
Now I am TheAmazombie and I am using that quite a bit.

pul - I wrote my name Paul wrong... well I was young... and handsome (D1 and stuff if I remember correctly) pulpul - pul was eitehr taken or too short, can't remember (D2) Huenerfreak - I had to take a name, my friends would not recognize, they didn't (Ogame, my old mail adress, WoW) Lloyd - My friend named himself Kratos, not after the God of War dude, the Tales of Symphonia dude. Lloyd was his son iirc. (Wc3, SC BW + WoL) Pehbeh - My Brother called my PB (my initials) since forever, and if you say PB in german it sounds like PehBeh. (TL.net, LoL, Steam, everything cept WoL really)
In Starcraft Broodwar on Bnet I had so many accounts because back early on when you got too many losses you had to make another account. Anyway the ones I had later on with 100's of games that I didn't delete are: BW: Deadly[NK] Bofarmine[rs] GBOD
stormwesthambig King]Xv[, King[n1s] King[DaA] etc, lots of King's MartyR[MaGe] just thought it looked cool Pads.cF- roughly the same time I joined TL I think o_o; prOxi.One <3, was listening to Metallica - One when I joined the clan ^_^ Had the name Patrick on uswest for a while, thought that was cool as balls XD TaG]Bex TaG was a team and Bex was a nickname for a girl I liked lool
Quite a few random ones after this, at some point though I made the smurf tOss.Legacy on iccup and went on to use it for a few teams (AoN. nO [MB](Current team)) Soviet[3.33] was another smurf of mine and would be using it now if there wasn't already a Soviet[MB]
Runescape le76, was probably my first nick (at least the earliest I can remember)
Counter-strike Had alot of random nicks but when I got more stable in nicks I started to use Larko And then I switched over to Frosty which I use now Starcraft bw/sc2 Frosty
I pretty much have been using this ID for about 8 years or so, except it used to be sHiNeQ because obviously, it looks so cool for a 11 year old . I have been also using an alternative id in this time, Iori, which started as a joke in one IRC channel, taken from an anime I don't even remember anymore, I still use it as a login for a few services here and there. Before these IDs, the first one I remember was B@rt, which I made when I was 8, my name is Bartosz, often shortened to Bart, so I went "hey! let's make it all cool and online like!". I think I have also used a few IDs from different games, but didn't use them a lot.
Zahcry - Runescape, possibly Neopets (Blah) Hiicantpk - Started as my youtube name, pretty much everything now Teh PK - SRSF name, changed multiple times. 57 Corvette - Name here after Hiicantpk got banned Chrono( )Boost - Current Runescape name, Funnyjunk name Shen - Current name on SRSF
always wanted a thread like this, but wish it wasnt so generalized with every game. Alot of old friends from back in the day where are you!. reddog comes from my name clifford the big red dog...

Saga is the best one. You were better at thinking of names when you were 7!

o_o
I remember playing with you a bunch of times. I never had a name with a soviet tag, but for a while, I was also playing it a lot, and hung around the soviet channel.
I can't remember what ID's I used at the time..... I changed them whenever I felt like it, which was usually every couple of days.....
DeathScytheH -early forums/early SC1 V]iRu[S -for an SC1 clan I was in for a bit Apanthropy -Counterstrike/forums/other fps games/SC2 Angra -Guild Wars/SC2
I used a few others but they were never for very long, a couple months at most, and I don't remember most of them.
Tst2146 - asdfsdsadf all names are taken keyboard mash time. (GunZ) Latedi - What do I name myself? Google name generator go! (WoW and then most other games) Broken - Nice name when playing protoss in sc2, people always makes jokes.
Hmm, I can't seem to remember them all but these are the ones that i can:
At first i was "Squee" and "Crovax" (From the magic: the gathering characters)
After that we get in to the silly early teens period where i was hopelessly in love with this girl that didn't feel the same way and i was convinced that sorrow was the strongest emotion so i named myself "Sorg" (Swedish for sorrow). (Got the girl in the end tho and realized my mistake ^^)
After that it gets kinda blurry but i ended up using "laggikoN" (Swedish for lag icon) which came about when i was playing quake with a friend and i was on a bad connection and my friend said "uhm, you're lagging, you have one of those lag icons above your head" (quake shows an icon of a disconnected cable when you're having connection issues) I changed my name for fun and capitalized the N to make fun of the sterotype, the name just kinda stuck after that,
Later, during a period when weed was a prominent part of my everyday life, i used "behindTheMoon" while playing high. It's what my now girlfriend used to call herself on communities and i used it partly because when we we're younger we jokingly called weed rocket fuel and also as a tribute to her,
My tag history all has to do with team fortress 2. I was originally Klokwerks because I thought it sounded cool and all my other ideas were taken, and I was feeling really unoriginal at that point. A little bit later I was frequented this one server, and I felt like I wanted to be elevated above the masses. I had a pretty big ego when I was 13. So I obviously chose to add a fake clan tag [Muad'dib] to the front of my name. I was reading the Dune books, and wanted to satisfy my savior complex, right. People on the server called always just called me Muad'dib and I eventually dropped Klokwerks and added another fake clan tag [Muffin] just cause it is badass.
As for USK, it came from an inside joke from my AP US History class. We were talking about Utopian societies, and I have a friend with a name beginning with K. Being clever genius's we founded the Utopian Society of K------.So our gang/band/rap duo/clan/liberation front's name was USK. and since I like the sound of it, I am the only one who uses it now.
I've been using the name Bobbias for as long as I can remember online. I honestly have NO idea what I used to use for tags before then.
In grade 7, I was hanging out at a friend's place, and we decided to make a character for a game called Vagabond's Quest (MAJOR props to anyone who's heard of it). He asked what name I wanted to use, and I said I had no idea, I've always been terrible at coming up with names, so he suggested Bobbias (pronounced as baw-bee-iss). I liked it, so I just kinda kept using it, and here I am, 8 years later, still using it.
The bonus of using a name like this is that nobody ever takes it Oh, and listening to people try to pronounce it usually ends up in people just calling me boobies.
I honestly can't remember my first gamer name...the earliest one I got is ChiefStubbyBear, which one of my friends called me, then I moved to Pikachu after a variety of Pokemon names swarmed the CSS server I played on. From there it's only gone through variations of Pika, since that's what people called me in scrims/matches.
smellydonkey (lol, smurf became main I guess) - war3 for a year or so ridge - cs 1.6 and then scbw when i started during the beta of sc2 alejandrisha - sc2 shortened to aLeJ - sc2
For SC & BW I had so many different names I can't remember all of them. I smurfed in every ladder (Tao/Cloud etc) with friends and I just can't remember every name so I'll just list the few I stuck with the longest or played the most on.
EDIT: I just remembered my very first name ever! JoeFtBall84 for AOL back when you had to dialup and then wait for hours to finally get a connection :D
These are my first two names as far back as I can remember for BW, excluding Kali (my Kali name was something weird with #'s lol I can't remember it now)
Vanilla SC: M@verick BW Release: [AoD]M@verick
I absolutely LOVED the movie Top Gun (who doesn't?) and the tv show Maverick/the movie Maverick so I just naturally had a love of that name I was around 14 at the time so Maverick I became
From there I was, in turn:
Angel-Eternal - My best game friend (who's still one of my best friends to this day nearly 14yrs later!) was Angel-Assassin and was in [AoD] with me. We decided to make the Angel- "division" of AoD and thus Angel-Eternal was born because Angels are eternal!
~GothiC~DragoN~ because obviously dragons are gothic FS-Devil - Wanted to kinda start fresh so I went from being an Angel to a Devil lol Dev-The-Feared [o]Devil (Mostly [o]Devil but was in every BW clan at one point or another, TF/X17/[x] etc) [o]sTRATOS :+:sinOpe:+: - Was in a korean clan called Sun Moon Stars (sinope is a minor moon somewhere) ArtOfScarab -Was in the real ArtOf )DL(Scarab - Also real )DL( was good friends with a few of their members and they invited me as an honorary 'foreigner' lol
All the korean clans I was in is long before they made the west/east/euro/asia server clusters back when you could play in brood war kor-1 swe-1 etc...ah, those were the days =[
few different spOrt's (diff clan tags, smurf name) And finally, back to the old Angel-Eternal which I just turned into EternaL (sMi.EternaL)
When War3 was released I was PastTimes with my partner [MSC]Dry-Ice who was FutureTimes and also spOrt and Devil
Then onto DAoC I became Marzyn, a combination of two things: At the time I was reading a book called "Zen of Guitar" and was becoming a Marine in a few months so I combined the two Mar-Zen. I didn't like the way it looked but I liked the sound so I changed the E into a y and Marzyn was born!
Used that name in tons of FPS and WoW for a while. From there I just went to an old standby strategy for new names: look through my mp3 playlist and pick a song name lol
That netted me: Abandoned, Visions, Rhydin and a few others I can't remember atm
Then SC2 was released and I went back to EternaL again :D funny how you always end up with the things you started with oh so long ago :x
I've only used a couple (18 years old, only started playing online when i was maybe 14)
12ainbow6 (Socom: FTB with my buds. Our clan was Rainbow, cause we were playing R6:Vegas competitively)
ParaB3llum (R6:V, too hard for people to spell and pronounce so I changed it to...)
Antioch216 (my name is Stephen, named after the Christian martyr. His followers went to the city of Antioch to start a new church. 216 is my b-day February 16th)
SixGun (in my Vegas clan, I played with a guy named SixGun_Samurai and though that it was bad ass so I stole it haha)
kirorz: Kiro because I thought it was how my name was romanized in Japanese and RZ for Rockman Zero which I was obsessed with at the time. Used this in Runescape.
ThunderBox: Toilet.... Used this in WoW
BangKlyde: Using this one now. Its a quote from an episode of Venture Brothers. Changed the C to a K for my name. For TF2, SC2, everything really.
rebuffering. classic line from the 1st season of Aqua teen hunger force, my favourite episode, only one person has ever guessed correctly as to the whereabouts to my name, some guy on the ladder. to you sir, i salute thee.
firebatranger(from BW) thealogod (mis spelled halo, was from my BW days when the xbox first dropped) Nervegas(The original Americas Army, joined a clan called WMD and changed it to that) Nerve/Nerv/nRv (All CS 1.5 and on)
Havent changed since that old one from AA, just had slight variations on that theme.
