What are your 3 letter arcade names?

YCZ - the last 3 letters of the alternative spelling of my surname. Sometimes used initials RKB. I also use my initials for my user on Unix-like systems (and Windows) since forever.
 
AAA

Because I am lazy and don't care. Most operators turned off the machines at night wiping it out anyway.

Or just AAA if I'm in a rush or not really proud of my score (which happens often).

this, forever

It's AAA

Friends and I loved Ralugo in Giga Wing 2, so we would all play Ralugo and then enter our names as RAL UGO GOD COK
Yeah we were teenagers.

Otherwise I never cared. AAA
 
I will share a story,

in my local arcade, we had this Neo Geo machine, These machines would save the 3 letters on the top scores even after turning them off, they'd stay forever as long as the arcade was there.

there was this game

which took like 2.5 hours long to beat and three guys, (we were arcade friends) would try to beat each others scores, which were all around in the range of 2'000'000 and 2'400'000. To get more we would need help of a "reverse" tile that would send you back half the stage and let you get more points....

one time, I got like 5 reverse tiles in a row, AND proceeded to finish the game flawlessly without losing a life.

I got something like 2'835'827.

I was casually playing street fighter and one of those guys comes and says " damn you MGS, how the hell did you get that?", I just lol'd and said "sorry man, that's staying there forever".

end of story.

GEO, it predates my online handle by a good 10 years or so. I think I started doing it with Super Thunder Blade.
 
MAZ.

I actually put some thought into choosing my son's first and second name to give him a three letter arcade initial that I thought would be kinda cool. LAG. I bet he never even needs to use it.
