12 years ago some young kids saw me smoke a cig. They just started to learn basic english and played with the words "smoke" and "Kim" (my irl name), and then came up with "Smokim". When i told my friends about it, everyone loved it so much that it was my nickname for several years, and since then it have always been my Online/Gamer name

I wish I had story like yours. My nicks are all random letters.

Same thing as I've used for 6 years now, taken from Mad Larkin, the character from the Warhammer 40k Gaunt's Ghosts series of books. Which are great, by the way. Read them.

Easy way to connect with like-minded individuals on ladder; that is, people who have played up to 3rd gen in pokemon. And let's face it, Magikarp is too mainstream.

Pepsi for the irony?

I forgot why I decided to pick Black Panther but I did it when I was really young. I guess I didn't know who the Black Panthers really are though.

Way back in the day when I played CS 1.6 in middle school, I played on a WC3 mod server and we had this informal clan going on where everyone was an arrow of a certain element. FireArrow, DarkArrow, etc. I just went with it for the rest of my gaming career.

Soundwave

Wanted something that no pro or anyone notable had.

Was a huge Transformers fanatic at the time and Soundwave was my favourite.

My ID is Serenade. Because I wanted it to be like a beautifully composed music when I play.

In reality it's more like Socke's trash metal band :/

One baaaaaad losingstreak on ladder, and a spark of brilliance

But in SC2, blizz wouldnt let me use the word "Korean", so to mock them I used FearTheMILF instead! Beware blizz!

I'm not very creative so I just named myself my profession.

There was a guy in middle school that I hated so I stole his name: Michael Donovan. On ladder I go by MickyD for short.

In the starting movie for Halo 2 there is a guy in the film called Paradox who gets killed by a wraith. Fast forward a few months of solidly playing Halo 2 I decide to get xbox live, I put Paradox in and of course it was taken, so I did what one of my friends said and put my house number at the end of it. I didn't like the ring of Paradox9 so I put the double o in because I was also a Bond fan

I love Norse and Greek god mythology. ThoR was a sweet god. I did not choose my name for the unit.
