FlexN, I used to be FlexM in BF2, BW, WC3 but it was taken on EU. Its meaning was FlexibleMind for original thinking
My currect nic means: Its FlexN because FlexM was taken.

I actually really like this one.

Jay CeeCee doesn't quite have the same thing to it though. Or JaySeaSea. JaySeeSee. JaySeeCee. JaySeaSee. Nope, none of them. Clearly my luck in life is absent.

My nickname irl used to be axu, and in the beginning it was just AxU, but later on added an additional U to the end for reasons I can't remember.

ps. I like writing vowels in capital letters.

I made mine when I was a kid when I found myself a good shot in the arcades.

Marksman was born and then later in 2005 I found my own signature initials and now it became MarksmanKNG. It stuck ever since.

Loved Lim Yo Hwan (Slayers_Boxer) so I wanted a similar name. Couldn't directly rip off his name though so I typed it in a roundabout way hence "Boxsuh"

My name is just a transition from my CS 1.6 past. I used 'synd' when I played CS 1.6.
But how I came up with it? Not that great, just saw some swedish words, thought synd was cool and that's all. It also means 'sin'.

Same as my Call of Duty 1 alias!

It was originally Captain Foley (generic name of your squad's captain in the single player mode) until I was in a server joking around with some friends who compared me to darth vader. I decided that Captain Foley was too generic and decided to change it to darthfoley. It stuck.

I've been darthfoley for 7 years now lol

I took what I found to be a really interesting character from my favorite books (Dune series) and shortened his name (scytale) to scy because the 'tale' part seemed to either make it a pokemon or less badass,

Ever since I did that as a 13 year old, I am constantly asked if I am xyz player from abc clan or whatever, or when I was playing sc2 at a fairly high level (gm-) 'are you scyx17 from bw?' like every single game.

:D

used a character name from a character I used to play in a P&P for an online game, evolved into my main character and it started sticking with me and now I am even called rl like that, but ended in the short form "Fey" from Feyaria, which is not really an original name since it basically means "I am an Elf" in the elfish language of the P&P game.

also the name was pretty much available to use everywhere, because the game is german origin. But either it got popular over the years despite the game being rather old, or some maniac that has to play every game on the planet is using it.

My Chinese surname has the same pronunciation as 'Donkey' and bombs are always nice, so DonkeyBomb :D
