I was like 14 (now 22) and I remember my older sister showing me Ask a ninja, the quote was " turn your cubical into a Cubikill." So I needed a new user name for Battlefield 2142 and Cubikill was like my third choice but I used it because it wasn't taken and I didn't want numbers in my name. To this day I don't think that name has been taken when I gone to use it.

My other online name is Hoid. Hoid is from Brandon Sandersons book the Way of Kings. The name is taken more often then not and I refuse to use numbers on my names. So im only useing Hoid in SC2 EU and World of Takns.

Fat Kids Lag IRL was a guild from way back when in WOW. I turned it into a xbox live name back when I used to boost 50 accounts in Halo3. I got good feedback, but since we boosted so many accounts I had to change the spelling a ton of times. Eventually when we were done boosting, the one that I was left with was FatKiddsLagIRL, so I just kept it.

Just choose whatever sounds cool. My TL accnt name comes from a merge of 2 old usernames. FreedomFighter and Murder.
My current sc2 name is Smooth, its my favourite word and I think it describes my play style pretty accurately (elegant cheese).

I really liked the song "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles. I specifically liked the phrase coocoocachoo from the song. I then combined QQ (I used to balance whine a lot and shit) and the phrase coocoocachoo and came up with QQKachoo. I later learned that in the song they say Goo-goo-Ga-Joob in the song and not coocoocachoo. But whatever, I like the way my name sounds.

My name in vanilla SC and BW was Helios. I used it for the 6-7 years I played BW off and on, so I decided to try and use something similar just in case i ran into any old friends. Sucks there is an LoL pro named Helios now, because I get a ton of whispers now asking if were the same person...

Your name is fucking awesome, I haven't seen you post before.

I went to a halloween party as sexual harassment panda in college. Had the name ever since.

So in Brood War I played Terran, sometimes Protoss.. but hardly ever Zerg. ONE time I was playing Zerg and going mass Ultralisks on a Fastest Possible $$$$$ money map (as you do) and my 7 year old brother asked me what they (Ultralisks) were because they looked like Dinosaurs.

So then I thought up the pun DinoMight (sounds like dynamite... get it? (-_____-) and I've been using it ever since.

First came up with this name when playing a paladin in WoW, was trying to think of something related to norse mythology and ended up extrapolating from 'Valhalla'.

Started up with playing sims kingdom when I used to have dsi. I somehow someway managed to hear "barthen baz" in their nonsense speech. Then when I was playing WoW for mostly taurens, but one of my characters was belf rogue. So I shorted it to Bart'hen since I am always the roleplaying lore guy. And since I play sc2(beggining of 2012) I have been using bArtH!

I was trying to teach myself Italian and I like cheese, so i named myself formaggio. Then i found out what cheese meant in SC2 terms and I felt like a douche lol. But I don't cheese that much so I guess it's almost like a mind game now :b

From when I studied anatomy. I loved it so I figured I would use some of it to create my name. I decided to go with Cerebellum, partly because it seemed very fitting as it is one of the major factors in being able to execute precise movements, partly cause I thought having a name with the meaning "the little brain" was kinda fun, and partly because it fit zerg quite well.

After a while I just shortened it cause it seemed like quite the hassle for commentators and others to utter, and Cereb was much easier to say and abit more unique, I guess

I named myself Variable when I was 13 (planned to be a programmer, boy did that change) and when it came time to make a name for sc2 I went with the nickname for my nickname I've been using the last few years

Vari

I like it.
