Where Did You Get You Username From?

[rocky713]

I've been looking on the forums for quite a while, and I've seen that a lot of people of strange usernames. I just wanna know how some of you got the name. And I don't mean, you just used you're XBox Live Gamertag, I mean, the main root of it. We'll, I'll go first, I guess...

About two or three years ago, a friend of mine showed me Runescape. His username was "Rocky714", and he said he already gave me an account, knowing for sure I'd like the game. So, since I was younger than him, he called me "Rocky713", and the name just stuck from there on in. My friend actually moved away, and my Runescape acoount got deleted, but, hell, I got an amazing name from it.

So, share your story.

[GreatJedi7]

I used to be pretty good at those old Star Wars games back when I was 7, so at that same age I first used the name GreatJedi7 to play against my brother and his friends online in Gunbound. Ever since I've used GreatJedi7 on every forum or website that I'm a part of, except for ForgeHub, where I have the name GR4V3mind117 (Tying in with the site's Halo theme.)

[ClaptonsWig]

I've always wanted my hair to be like Eric Claptons from the Cream era of his life. Since it will only grow to a certain length and stop, I'll never be able to have it. So in essence, the only way I could achieve my goal would be having to get a wig. Therefore, I would have "Clapton's Wig."

Mercury Shadow is a song by Soilwork, I need a musical type name to post here! Madman, a name I got at work because I am known for doing all the crazy stuff other people won't do is not very musical and would not allow me to post here, said I didn't have sufficient privileges!

[LiveHomeVideo]

I got Gigakoops from the Japanese name of Giga Bowser from Super Smash Bros. (Giga Koopa), put it as one word, and replaced the "a" with a "s."

I got LiveHomeVideo because I wanted to sound like a crappy movie company. I didn't know there already was an actual movie company with that name, though, that made some quality films. I had to make a new account (GigakoopsRBN) as a way to prevent them suing my ass for using their name to release songs on Rock Band.

[nascarfan19]

I'm a fan of NASCAR and at the time my favorite driver Elliott Sadler drove the #19 car, so I added his number to the end. Unfortunately, he got dropped from his team and now drives the #2 car, so I can't change it, but I kinda like sticking with the 19.

People always said I was a noob.

If a mod could shave the GNF off my name, that would be lovely.
