How did you come up with your Gamer Name?

[Tanken]

I would have never guessed a lot of these names, glad I made this thread. You guys are awesome for blowing it up this quickly, now we have to wait and see how long until someone disagrees about someone's name and a 4 page fight evolves

[rufio]

other gamername is: lithirian, also my steam acc, kindoff a made up lotr themed name,  and is never taken in any game, unlike rufio  :rolleyes:

[Prpavi]

Prpavi actually stands for clumsy. We have a thing in my city where we twist the words so we put the end to the front etc. Example: doma (home) we say mado. You can do it with every word even speak the whole scentences. So the real word for clumsy is trapavi, also every neighborhood ads their own ways of twisting it, in my neighboorhood slang it got twisted to prpavitra and then just Prpavi for short 

[ARN_]

I have kinda hard to come up with names, but there's a movie I love(guess which) so I stole borrowed the name

Epic movie!

[Akynos]

I had to make a melee hero ( yes I know) in a browser game, and the name Akynos came out of nowhere. I have no relations to the big fat black stripteaser, just to clear things up.

As for Skono, I'm quite a fan of Hardtyle tracks and a guy at my school gave me a link to a awesome song on youtube, and as the uploader didn't know who was the artist for that song he put up as background a picture with 'sconosciuti' written on it (means 'unknown' in italian). As I kept listening for that song for several weeks straight, the word simply stuck in my mind and somehow I cut it to 'scono' which sounded like a pretty 'beefed up' name. And as I was looking to change my build to full-str plated nublet, the name somehow fitted...

[Torben]

I called myself Torben.

[Fuma Kotaro]

Fuma_Kotaro_the_Duck (ingame)

There once was a time when I tried to roleplay a ninja, so I was searching for ninja names and found the name Shihan Fuma Kotaro Nobuyuki ( a ninja who lived in the late 16th century) I made the name shorter and I got Fuma Kotaro.
The Tag "_the_Duck" got added because I just fucking love ducks so much

[Utrakil]

At my first contact with the basque  language I was very impressed by the amount of "T", "U" and"K" they use for writing. So when I thought of a Name fitting for some fantasy games I thought it might be nice to use these very common letters of one of the oldest Languages around europe. So I played around till I found something that sounded got to me: Utrakil.
Unfortunately I realized recently that people missread it as ultrakill. that might make me change the name someday.

[Nightmare798]

Soul Calibur 3

798 was added because mofos copy my name all the time.

[Moncho]

It was my high school nickname (friends from then still call me Moncho), so I used it then when I started playing CS after class.
It used to be Monxo because of laziness, but because a lot of people mispronounced, I changed it to Moncho.

[Pollux]

nobody cares

[San]

Because of those old arcade/console games where you could only put in 3 characters or too few characters for your name. Just used my nickname- first 3 letters of my name. I have to slightly alter it each time because it's always used. If I could use non-alphabet/number characters, the period works perfectly.
