And or Username
I couldn't find a CHAT topic of this so I thought I'd create one (sorry if it's already been done, like I said couldn't find it)
Well mine is caused by my own stupidity.
It was way back when I was playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Keen for 3). Basically I was silly little child and thought that the O looked like a D. So I put the O in my name and didn't realise until my brother pointed it out ... 3-4 years later.
Then it stuck.
What's your story?

CyroWolf
Either I couldn't read or the box was misprinted of a transformer I bought called "Cryo(Cyro) Scourge."Added wolf onto that. Only till a couple months ago did I look up said transformer and see the error of my ways. At this point, there is no point in changing the spelling. Too lazy to come up with something new anyways.
ltayl1 1.048596
There have been threads similar to this one, but I'll go through this long explanation once more.
I use 2 usernames on most every site.
ltayl1 and
M4TCH
ltayl1 is derived from a system that Education Queensland (the government branch that runs the schools in my state) uses on their school networks. You are assigned a username that consists of the first letter of your first name, the first 4 letters of your last name and a number. So L(iam) TAYL(or) 1. On EQ's network I have a 2 instead of a 1, but that bugged me so I used a 1 everywhere else.
M4TCH is derived from a dumb nickname I was given in the 6th grade. A friend who I didn't talk to all that much literally just walked up to me and said "Hey Lieutenant Match!" He later explained that he got that from my initials (L.T) and the fact that I have really white skin and red hair. The name never really stuck but I kinda liked it so I started using it on Steam and Halo CE for a while. Eventually when I got around to making a Quake Live account the name 'Match' was taken so I just capitalised everything and made the A into a 4. That's pretty much it I guess.
I'll be surprised if anyone reads all of that.

@ltayl1: Who is that Australian guy on here who lives in the blue mountains? I thought that it was you but apparently you're in Queensland. I'm worried about him as he is probably on fire right now, or worse; his internet might be down.
BreadWolf Weinerlord
A friend of mine mispronounced a comedian's name when we saw his poster in a casino. I don't remember the comedian's name, but it certainly wasn't "BD Breadwolf", which I thought sounded like a badass gamertag. So the Breadwolf was born.
MrFozzilla the Inactive
I had many nicknames growing up. Fozzilla just stuck. Now I just add Mr to it. And its my name on basically everything.
ltayl1 1.048596
@1: Well I know of Christopher and Rogo who are in Adelaide, Rexx is in Victoria (I think) and there was someone else from Adelaide. I don't know of anyone from the blue mountains.
deadshadow foking furry
deadshadow is the name I used for my dA account and my gamer tags are just stuff that I make up and add numbers to
risaxis BANNED
i just made mine when I was 5.
Christopher
My gamertag is TheGuyWhoWins
I just thought it would be funny when I actually won a match and the final leaderboard popped up with me in first place. I get shit (and rightly so) when I don't win though.
My username for most sites is PrivateAtkky, which is a nickname I received from a friend, then I merely put 'Private' in front.
TheOtherBlack BANNED
Because I feel black.
M4xwell Insanitarium
I was in 5th grade, writing my first story for school in a while. the main character's name was Roy, and he was a batallion whose motto was "Mission For Excellence against the Well-minded and Able-bodied personas."
I changed it to "Mission 4 eXcellence against the WELL-minded and able-bodied personas". Put the capitalizations together and the 4, and it goes to "M4xwell" (sound a lot like maxwell amirite)
Parks Ass To Ass
rekraP is my name reversed I pretty much use it on anything gaming related. Before xbl I used to use Jmak and that's because of a name on the in game leaderboards in NFL Street 2 had a Jmac in it and I kinda liked how it looked. If the Jmak story is stupid it's because I was 10 or younger.
Deleted User
My name is Old Spice backwards. I had my Old Spice deodorant right next to my computer.
mlp_midnaspet Homo-Queen*
Well its the same as my user name. It used to be 'midnaspet' but then i got into mlp so i took from Michael and just added 'mlp_' The reference is in the game Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Midna is a character her"pet" is the main character.
ShadowBelmont32
It's a combination of two characters that I found extremely intriguing, with a random number at the end.
Shadow = Shadow the Hedgehog
Belmont = Simon Belmont (from Castlevania)
thus ShadowBelmont, and then usually sites require a combination of numbers and letters in a username, so I always add some double digit number at the end.
JohnStephen
My user name in most places is JohnStephen, which is my first and middle name.
My GT is AoD Juggernaut, that spawned when some friends I played with on Xbox decided we should make a clan. We never really competed and had more power struggles than Russia, but "Angels of Death" (Play on founder's name, Ben D' Eath).
All of us had to pick a name starting with AoD, such as AoD Predator, AoD Rival, AoD Revenge, etc. I think I was the last to change my name because I thought it was a fucking stupid idea, but AoD Juggernaut still beat the name JohnSn1p3r (I was 12).
MLP_JoshF
PSUlaxNumba1
I'm a Penn State fan (inb4 Sandusky) and at the time when I made my gamertag, they were number 1 in Lacrosse, a sport that I used to play.
MLP_JoshF
@MLP_JoshF: Though I'm probably going to change it soon, most likely on the release of the Xbox One, to something simple like JoshF.
SpongeyGString Akari~n!
@M4xwell: New name? You mean my CHAT one? That was because my Pie F1avour account dun broke (I've been through that before, I think it was because of the whole hacking thing right around when I joined) so I made one with the first 2 things that came to mind. A sponge (I have a thing with sponges, it's weird) and a G string (guitar kind, fuck knows why).
BiggerBen
My gamertag originated when I couldnt get BigBen as a gamer tag and thought what is greater than Big, oh Bigger. So it has been BiggerBen since I started playing Runescape.
JiffyLewb
My first one (dylpickle78) was actually just a suggestion from one of my friends. I just added the '78' to it. jiffylube was the result of an inside joke with a few friends and ya know, jiffylube
Overt_Ode
I take my name from my late father, Overtoad - a fine crafter of hamburger GIFs.
When my father was in middle school, his friend made a website using webs.com, on which he adopted the username, "Overtoad," as a play on "Overlord" and his then-favourite animal, the toad
M4xwell Insanitarium
@Chenzo:
Honestly not sure, all i know is that you got your 'quote' from "Fired Up!"
Chenzo ( ͡° ͜ʖ
@M4xwell:
But I actually thought I got my quote from Cheeseburger Eddy in "The Longest Yard", but I can't seem to find any proof of it anywhere. It's still part of my code of conduct, though.
As for my username, a certain Miser who happens to be Stingy has pointed it out already... the first, as a matter of fact.
ADashofRainbow
ADashofRainbow is derived from DashingRainbow the successor to dashing rainbow which is based off of the widely known Rainbow Dash
my GT (cinnam0n Panda) is from that jack and joel video with Cinnamon the bear and every one knows the best kind of bear is a panda so cinnamon the panda, =cinnamon panda
Pat_RedHawk
Gamertag: QuePasserPa. ........................................................................... i come from a racist family and that kinda rubbed off on my little brother, and he makes fun of "que passa"
Deleted User
Mine is a misspelling of a misspelling of the Simpsons.
Deleted User
When I was little (well, littler than I am now), I was flipping thru new channels my family had gotten from getting dish or something. I remember stumbling upon a racing game tournament. I was surprised anyone would watch others playing games competitively like sports at the time. I remember seeing one guy with a silly username of something like
"bad coyote funky"
His was the only one that stood apart from the other names by being silly (or memorable to past me) and I thought if I ever made a username online I'd want it to be weird and silly like that. Being uncreative, I took most of his name and only slightly changed it :P.
Been like that ever since. I wonder if I could find whatever thingy I was watching if I looked. (I'm kind of tool lazy to try tho)
