HylianWill
08-06-2009, 04:49 AM
Alright, I'm not sure if something like this has been posted before, but I could not find it if it was. I was just wondering what the inspiration behind your username here is?

I picked HylianWill.

Hylian is from The Legend of Zelda videogame series, it is what the inhabitants of Hyrule are. I've always been a huge Zelda fan, I even have the Triforce and Eagle Wings tattooed on myself, and Will because my name is William, but I go by Will.

What about you?

Mines basically my gamertag, minus the space.
In case your interested, my GT came from when I did games testing on Burnout Paradise for a few weeks, and I ended up breaking the in-company drifting record, by about 7000ft

I used to be a RvB nerd and that's the name I used on certain forum sites. It was better than "aaj111" or my gamertag name, which was conjured up randomly while playing an MMO. Kind of regret picking it, because using an avatar with anything non-halo in it just seems weird.

Soratar
08-06-2009, 09:55 AM
I am a big fan of Kingdom Hearts. I am also a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Take Sora from KH, and Avatar from the show, and you end up with Soratar.

Apples
08-06-2009, 10:31 AM
I picked Apples because on most major forums/websites such a common word is already taken, so I was amazed to get it here.

I honestly thought you were Croatian or something and 'b' was your first initial and your last name was pronounced "man-inch" which would be spelled maninč haha :o

My soccer team when I was little was the Explosion, and when I joined planet hot wheels (oh yeah, I ruled the planet of hot wheels), Plain old "Explosion" was taken, so I made it Explosion1. Eventually after visiting several other websites, it evolved to Explosion2.

08-06-2009, 01:22 PM
Beckett is the name of my favorite character from the game Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. One of my favorite fictional characters of all time actually. I added Wolf to the front of it because Beckett was taken on a lot of sites and such, and Beckett can turn into a wolf in the game. I first used it in WoW so it had to be short enough to be accepted there ;).

NormanCoxwell
08-06-2009, 01:32 PM
Me and some guys were sitting in my living room late at a party. It was like 4 AM and everyone besides me was pretty drunk. We were just sitting around in my living room wii bowling and naming miis. There was this one that this one kid made, I dont even remember his name. We decided on the name Norman Coxwell. It was funny and we started joking about it. Than my sister stumbles into the room and just yells "Norman Coxwell's a DICK!" and it was one of the most hilarious things ever. So for awhile my xbox gamertag was Norman Coxwell. However over time the story just became less and less funny to tell and started getting kind of sad, so I decided to change it to what it is now. Something I feel much more comfortable with along with everyone else feeling more comfortable with. Plus Im the only one that clearly remembers the events of that night. However my rockband membership was created during the time I was Norman Coxwell, so I kept it as such. Now since I can not change my name, Ive decided to live with it.

Tego1in
08-06-2009, 03:45 PM
I was thinking of a name for a fantasy game a few years ago.
The one is because when I signed up for XBL under Tegolin, I did it on the computer so I didn't get the free month, so I made another one called Tego1in.
I wish I didn't have that "1."

Latin phrase meaning "Remember you shall die" or "Remember you are mortal". Always liked it. Plus it reminds masquerade of a cool movie so that's good. :)

My username originates from Bloom County, in which Steve Dallas formed a metal band named DeathTounge and got Opus, Bill and Hodge Podge to perform. I decided to use it as the name of my band in GH3, but the full name didn't fit, so it was shortened to DethTung.

ok bear with me here.

I had a character on WoW a long time ago,named Wisdomcube,after a character on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

My original Gamertag was Wisdumcube, because the original spelling was taken.

I tried to make it Wisdomcube here,but that was taken,so i chose Cubecubed because it was the third mutation of that name,Cube to the third power,Cubecubed. :)

The first part is quite obvious, yet deceiving. I don't chew nearly as much gum as you would believe, and the Tridentgum thing came from the fact I was chewing some when I set up my YT under tridentgum453 last October. The 0 in this name, however, represents my IQ.

Mega-Tallica
08-06-2009, 11:31 PM
Obviously Metallica and Megadeth. At the time I was deciding on what my username should be, I though Metallica and Megadeth were the greatest thing ever and therefore I combined both their names in my username. I regret it now because I've since moved on to much better music. I wish I could change it and think of something really original. That's a lot of pressure thinking of a username, you really have to put a lot of thought into it.

Not for everyone; Xbox Live decide my name for me after randomly selecting pre-generated ones for about a minute. I like my username because it reflects my play style on the drums. Though, originally I played a lot of shooters and NEVER waited for my teammates. Running in like a madman is the only way to go.:cool:

The "iggidy" part comes from the Dominic the Donkey song, not from Family Guy.

harveyglobetrot
08-10-2009, 04:24 AM
In an episode of The Simpsons Marge says to Bart that they should go and play "the basketball", straight after which she says "I'm no Harvey Globetrotter but..." at which time she is silenced by Bart's groans of embarrassment.

She immediately follows this gem with "Watch out for the Shaq attack...*throws basket ball into Bart's face*...I told you to watch out!"

Hence, a forum name (and XBL gamertag) was born.

I have always used mine for every thing well actually JrLakers was already used for XBL. So when that happens I add Cron. It was a tag name one of my brothers used. He died back in 1994 so I have always used it when my original is unavailable. The Jr cause I am one. The Lakers cause I am a huge Laker fan.
