Title: Where did your name come from?
Post by: EliteTerm on September 27, 2008, 06:35:12 am
I thought it'd be really cool to tell everyone where your game name originated from. I'll start:


My first game on the computer was Starsiege: Tribes. It was the game that introduced me into the online gaming world on June 4th, 2004. My first name was Scratch, and changed it to Terminator after getting hooked on an military type modification for Tribes. My career on Tribes grew to Paintball, one of the most popular mods on Tribes, I was so good that I was ranked #1 out of THOUSANDS on csports.net, the worldwide gaming statistics/ ranking, for a few weeks for Paintball. I changed my name to EliteTerminator after that and I decided it was too long so I renamed it to EliteTerm. That name stuck with me ever since, and I plan use it until I die.


So what's your story?

When I started getting into clans in COD2, I was 9-10 years old. Basicly, my name always was something of these three: "ELiTe", "Proo", "Best",  because it was sooo cool, kinda. People told me to chill with all those names, and yes, there we have Chill.

Post by: Trobby888 on September 27, 2008, 12:09:34 pm
I was first introduced to the internet world when I around 9-10, and I needed a email name for myself. I just tried making up some random letters which would come together to pronounce a funny name. After a while, I finally decided that I would use the name Trobby. My first email account was [email protected], but I didn't touch it much and it suffered from the 30 days problem (That's why I use [email protected] now). When I got my PSP, I had a problem it, so I posted on some PSP forums. I used the name psp888 (once again, randomly picked). But psp888 was a rather dull name, so in the future forums, I then decided to use Trobby888 instead. Stuck to that name since then.

Post by: Shadow009 on September 27, 2008, 12:16:09 pm
Shadow is a common name but at the time I didn't care :D
Few years back when I got a gamecube I bought "Sonic Adventure Battle 2", I was about 5~6 and I started to play it. I would normally just play the Hero side story but I started to play the Dark side story for a bit. I played the first mission and thought Shadow The Hedghog was epic. Then a few months later I got "Phantasy Star Online" and when I was making a character I was wondering what to call it, I eventually called it " *Shadow* " (Or something like that) and I guess I just stuck to that name, I've been changing it since, the new one is " -=Shadow=-" or " [ | Shadow | ] ". I sometimes used "Dark Ninja", I dunno why. I even thought about changing my name a few times but I didn't. For forums I normally use "|Shadow" or "Shadow009". :D

Well,

It all started... with my Mother... Because my Dad is Scottish they decided to call me Shaun (With this spelling it is Scottish)(I think Sean is Irish)
When I started playing Online games for the first time (9 or 10 years ago) I made my nick as Shaun, The first game I played online was Age of Empires or Midtown Madness... I can't remember... but ever since... Shaun.... and now... ShaunSforza xD

Cutter is the name of the lead character of the game, Outcast, released in 1999 by Atari games. If any of you have played it, I am sure you would agree with me that the gameplay is real advanced for that time. And it has been my most favourite game of all time since then :)
Full name of the character is Cutter Slade :P

*bump bump*

This is a  good topic guys, I'd like to see more origins of names :P



The name "JDC" comes from the initials of my name in real life, [HAHA you really thought I'd give you my RL name didnt you?]. I was using 'JDCdesigns' before, a name I made for myself when I dreamed of making 1337 map mods.

Challenger comes from my favorite car Dodge Challenger 69' and on another side it's symbolic for the space shuttle Challenger.Because of a malfunction the shuttle crashed after the launch and the crew didn't survived and so in the name of all crew members i decided to use this name so we can remember them as 7 heroes who wanted to conquer the last frontier:space

Post by: 9r2e5i3k on December 26, 2008, 12:26:54 am
This evoluted around 2003 to 2005 i think...

Grzesiek (real name) -> Gr2esiek -> some other variations which i didnt like much -> 9r2e5i3k

I think it's the best variation. Even number of digits and letters, in a regular pattern (digit-letter-digit-letter).

When I got an Internet connection for the first time (november '06), I've learned what's 1337-speak. So I made up my nick without previously knowing about 1337-speak, so I guess the 1337 is inside me :P

I used to be use my RL name of 'Luke' for a game called Jedi Knight 2. And thanks to binds I had binded 5 skin changes to buttons.
The clan I was in evnturally started calling me the 'Shape Shifter' as I would change skins whilst dueling by accident as I was pressing my bound buttons =P.
So I took 'Shifter' from the nickname they gave me and I've used it ever since.

let me think. I dunno how old I was (I think 8 or 9) but it was a very long time ago I came on this nick.

I think around 2000-2001 I played a stupit 3D game called Sherwood :P You had 4 colour warior to choose (red,blue,green,black) I was always blue ofcourse. Well then we had a big war with reds so we blue's regrouped to attack the stupit flaming reds. :razz: We blue's where "the good side" :razz: So I thought why not changing my name to Goodblue.

My nick bfore Goodblue was Eagle or Gold Eagle.

So, becouse of that, he got called Mumin, and since im his little brother, i was Lill Mumin for everyone, which is Lil' Mumin (Moomi or Moomin)
First i hated the name, but when i got older, it was my name :)

Thats why i got the name LillMumin.

My first nick was GT-7. I used it for years in other communities and websites, and I still do. But, maybe a year ago I named myself as IcyAero on some sites, which didn't allow - in a name. And after a while I started to only use it as my nickname. My original nickname, GT-7 formed from GT, which are in some car names etc. Then I added there my lucky number 7. :razz: IcyAero in the other hand is familiar to my real first name and there I added "Icy" into it.  :roll:
