[Sez]

I use "Sez" in pretty much everything, it started 2 decades ago when you only had 3 letters to put on your high record so I used 3 of my 4 name initials.

Edit: Sometimes i'm forced to add numbers, I use 6 my favourite number. For example, my Steam name is Sez06.

pinksocking


Because when somebody knows the meaning we have a good laugh.

 

[jmizzal]

It was jman but that was kinda lame so mixed it to Jmizzal, first initial of my name had it for about 10 years

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Main downtown avenue in my home city. Lived on it for 10 years.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

 

[XenogearsX]

Xenogears is my favorite RPG. It was taken. I added an X =O

 

[inner-G]

I got a PS3 and my brother and I played Resistance for the first time.

I had to make a name that I thought was just for that game. I made 'Killbeast'

Now I'm stuck with it and I don't really even play shooters or MP in general

 

[smudge]

Smudge has been my IRL nickname (close friends still call me Smudge) for around 30 years. Haven't always used it online but for the last 10 years or so I have.

 

[lord_of_flood]

Not entirely sure where mine came from to be honest. I think I made it during middle/high school but I'm totally stumped as to why I chose "lord_of_flood" of all possible names. I kept using it because it was always available, so it's been my profile name for everything that isn't school/work related for an incredibly long time.

 

[Plywood]

I was held at gunpoint in a sawmill.

 

[The Flash]

Well my last name is Strange so if I ever joined the FBI they'd call me Agent Strange.

 

[Nephtes]

Nobody has unlocked my real username yet.

/slowclap

 

[ScaryShark]

Sharks are scary.

My gaming screen name is just a crappy combination of my name and the mascot of the college I went to. I desperately want to be able to change it.

*throws up*

 

[Blanquito]

Gamertag comes from a commonly-used word from a native South American Indian language that I learned. I was pretty sure it would be available and unique, and it was/is.

 

[Clefargle]

My old XBL tag was "getliquorfaster", a reference to that ATHF episode "Bible fruit".

Then "Triforce_of_Wisdom" on WiiU and I use the handle Clefargle on Smash. Clefargle is just a fun way to say one of my favorite 'mons.

I use Euphemism for 3DS, Steam, and forums, and It's just me recognizing that my online personas are a nice way of presenting my personality through a lense. Similar to how euphemisms stand in for something worse. It's just an acknowledgement of that.

 

[Death Penalty]

Vincent Valentine's ultimate weapon in FFVII. I was young, but I'm not going to lie to you GAF: I still love it completely unironically.

 

[ZeroXZee]

Zero is from Megaman.
Then I added ZX from Megaman ZX.
Then I inverted the ZX to XZ.
Then the XZ became XZee.

It's easy as that! xD

 

[cRIPticon]

Legacy one (used here)? Thought it was cool...in 1999

Current one? Acronym of my work.

 

[Robert-One-Oh-seven]

Timesplitters 2 is one of my favorite games and my name is a character in the game.

Still waiting for timesplitters IV.. sigh..

 

[timothyonfire]

2005: Long black hair. Skinny jeans. Tight stupid fucking band shirts. Listening to Blood Has Been Shed, Glassjaw and Alexisonfire constantly.

Signed up for a music forum back then under timothyonfire since my first name is Tim and I was listening to Alexisonfire I combined the both and BAM! shit's been with me past that horrible phase and I can't seem to shake it.

 

[Mr Git]

Mr was a typo I did on another site years ago which made me laugh and now I've kept it. Still a shit handle.

 

[Lazulic]

back whenever lapis lazuli was added to minecraft (2011?) i was looking for a name to replace whatever shitty name i was using. lazuli sounded cool but was taken, so i slapped a c on that shit.

my other more secret name is something my friend typed in when i was trying to make a club penguin account however fuckin long ago. every username was taken, so he said just typing random letters on the keyboard works for a username, and what came out of that sounded good and stuck.

 

[Ceallach]

Trash Boat is because I am an ignorant man.

 

[Wavering Radiant]

An album from one of my favorite bands + the personal meaning the name has.

 

[EV4D]

My gamertag is EV4D. Its Dave spelled backwards, with a little touch of "1337speak" because I am an old gamer and saying things like H4X0R was cool back then....

As somebody that works in marketing, my gamertag continually reminds me how not creative I truly am

 

[MetalSlug]

I had to name myself in Counter Strike : Source, so I looked at my PS2 games for some ideas. Saw Metal-Slug 3 and decided to call myself that.

 

[ghibli99]

I love the works of Studio Ghibli, and "99" is the year I made a lot in the stock market... but it's more a cautionary reminder of the dot-com collapse that nearly erased those earnings the following year. Together, they combine quality with being mindful of the future.

 

[Cruxist]

I hate my current gamertag. Had an original one that's my handle everywhere else. Buddy bet me I wouldn't change it to Dragonzord. I did. With zeros for the o's.

 

[markofhavoc]

Worst way ever....I was like 13 or 14 and needed a name so I looked in a video game magazine and saw mark of kri or something, and it was run on the havok engine, so I literally threw it together to make markofhavoc

 

[Karspankey]

It's a play on my last name that someone used to call me in high school and it kind of stuck since then.

 

[Salbug]

My PSN "Ben60659" is my middle name plus the number sequence from Cube 2: Hypercube

"DethBen" which I use everywhere else is "Dethklok - klok + Ben = DethBen" Pretty much.

 

[SlickShoes]

They were a good band and it's a great goonies reference. I feel bad for all these folk now with numbers in there names and X's or other odd characters just to try and get the name they want.

 

[Zoloft Sonic]

Got a PS3 eons ago. Needed a login. "danimator" was taken so I slapped a number 2 on it, and I've been stuck with it ever since. :/ Next, Sony will make us use baby pictures to verify accounts.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Tekken (used to be a favorite series of mine) - Yoshimitsu (favorite character) - sweet looking move/win pose.

 

[Aces&Eights]

Back in Rainbow 6 days, I chose BeOneWithTheGun because I was into a Zen phase but also liked shooting people. Plus, TelltaleFart was not approved by ex girlfriend. (Fuck her, we both loved Poe and I thought it was brilliant)

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

I dunno, I didn't fully think it through

 

[Anoregon]

It's pretty simple:

 

[Fbh]

It's the initials of my name. I'm creative like that

 

[Arcayne]

Played a mobile mmo as a mage, looked a WoW skill trees for inspiration, added a "y" in the name and voila; Arcayne.
Uninspiring as hell. I use two other handles since I can't seem to stick to a name too.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

The word Jumbie is very prominent in the West Indian community..I just put Ah in front of it .

 

[Portugeezer]

Just my name and country code. Simple, no BS, which is welcome on PSN seeing as I made it back in 2007. Dodged a bullet on that one.

 

[petethepanda]

I've always been shockingly uncreative with this stuff. In college I had a group of friends who arbitrarily decided that I love pandas, and "petethepanda" was mentioned by someone at some point. When I eventually went to set up a new gmail account I just went with that without much thought and eventually used it for most other services.

At this point I'm kind of trapped by it. The only alternatives I can think of are references that are taken everywhere, and if nothing else, petethepanda is available on practically any service you can imagine.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

MonkeyofGAF

Because I'm the Monkey of GAF. Sorry to all the other GAF monkeys, but you know it to be true.

 

[keltickennedy]

I'm Irish and my last name is Kennedy. Simple and I thought it also had a nice ring to it.

CelticKennedy for most of my profiles.

"Keltic" sometimes when I hear some people pronouncing it like the basketball team.

 

[Seven4sses]

I'm glad to have met a swood fella

 

[PanicFreak]

XBL: My name is Vercingtorax. Vercingetorix was taken.

NeoGAF: PanicFreak. I like Widespread Panic.

 

[Haruko]

Thorn Harvestar is from

(art by Sean McNally)

 

[ChemicalWorld]

Because Brit Pop has never died for me.

 

[mkenyon]

Michael Kenyon -> mkenyon

also go by zfz.mikey. My group of gaming pals has known each other way too long, so we mostly all use our real names, or a variant. Kevin -> Fknkev, Gene -> Meangene, Matt -> Ultimatt. That sort of thing.
