I've used a few.

Cereal, Hint, Parody, ThirdSign, LunchBox, Syrup. My first Starcraft ID was actually "Noobiticus", which was extremely accurate at the time.

Generally I just pick the first word that comes to mind.

Wanted a name that would've been open for commentary, as I at the time (and now kinda still) wanted to try and enter the pro scene. And I was listening to "Epik High - Fan" at the moment, the first Epik High song I've had ever heard of, also how I became their "Fan", and liked the ring it had to it, so picked that as a name :D

Before that, I used to roam the internet and gaming world with "Kyasole" as my name, which (imo) reads pretty cool, but pronounciation would've been a huge problem, hence why I changed it :D

and "nMinhBang" is just taken from my actual name, combining the first letter of my last name, then adding my middle- and first name. :D

For those who interested, here's the song:


Now I get haunted once every while with lame puns :D

this name first appeared during a civ 4 multiplayer session. I took tamerlane and swapped lane with my name. The reason this one stuck though is because during that civ session I learned timur meant iron in Mongolian. Mike Tyson is my favorite boxer so once I had stumbled into timurStas=IronStas) I had to keep it.

I use my real first name as my SC2 name. Recently I've started to prefer that over an alias.

Well, I always liked the "GTF Erinyes" in the game Freespace 2 - was one of favourite fighters.
Basically all of the ships had mythological names and I just happen to like anything mythological - may that be Norse, Greek or Roman

I came up with this name when I was in high school playing the game Xenogears. One of the characters piloted a mech ("Gear") named Brigandier. So I just replaced "Brig" with "Myth".

As an unintended side-effect 8 out of 10 people that I play on ladder say something like, "hu hu hu, heya gandalf"...Which got old pretty fast.

Oh well.

I used to Play counter-strike with my high school buddies after school, but I would always be late for our team play/practice sessions because I'd be at practice for the swim team. My buddies would ask "Where is the Fish?" "Oh, he's swimming". So the running joke just became my handle for every game after that.

I used to play a space shooter MMO kinda game called Space Cowboy, which later got renamed 5 times, had its gameplay molested, went pay to win and is now called AirRivals.

Edrills were a type of missiles used in the game and it kinda got stuck in my head when I started playing World of Warcraft.

I took the name Edrill over to Starcraft and has been my go to ID ever since.

Pretty simple, I'm named after one of my favorite heroines of all time, Kitai from Jim Butcher's Codex Alera.
