When you ask some one how they got there name there generally is a story behind it. Why not tell us how you got or picked you name.
And I want to say thank you to everyone who's shared there story. It really is interesting to see how everyone got there moniker or call sign.
Btw you guys are like posting once every minute or two.

It's such a crazy story, you'll never see it coming... my parents named me Austin and my last name sounds like saying the letters "S" and "X"....

Saans is the last name of all my female characters/avatars. If given the choice, I almost always play as a female. It's my gamer way to express my sexuality as a gay man, hence the name Saans Shadow. Nakami is generally the first name of the first female I play in a game.

Edited by CeriseArt: 9/6/2014 7:48:37 PMMy original gamertag was RedSpectrum, i.e. the color field of red light as red is my favorite color. I had a PS3 as well but the name on that was a family name so when I got a PS4 I wanted a fresh start (and also sacrificed my level 12 trophy status ;_;) so I adopted the name CeriseArt, Cerise is a shade of red (once again, my favorite color) and Art is my initials, first, middle, and last name. It was going to be CrimsonArt but, that was somehow taken...

Edited by Thunda_Punk: 9/6/2014 7:48:17 PMHelix is the name I'd want to be called if I had been resurrected into an age that needed a hero. The name is short and just sounds cool to me. Although my PSN is Thunda_Punk, I have a feeling my catchphrase for a while will be: "Just call me Helix."

bussemand is Danish for booger, and 78 is my birthyear. Back when I was setting up my first email account, I wanted something like: [b]firstname.lastname @ whatever[/b] or [b]firstname.initial @ whatever,[/b] Now, even though I'm the only person in the world with my combination of first and last name, and one of only 20 in my country with my first name - All combinations were "UNAVAILABLE" and the automated suggestions i got were stupid and filled with numbers like: [b]123firstname572initial67AB @ whatever[/b]!!!?!?! I got so pissed that i chose [b]booger @ whatever[/b] as my email adress (no problems getting that one!) and started using it as my handle around the web. I'm a grown man and I look like a grumpy biker most of the time, so when people ask me for my email adress, they always end up laughing. Also, there seem to be a lot of booger78's out there on the web now?

During the days of DoD and CS I wasn't all that good at FPS on PC so my friend said "you shooting blanks?". Name stuck. Don't let the name fool you now. I got that name in 1998. I have since mastered the art of FPS.

When I was younger my cousins said I could get out of any trouble by casting a "Smokescreen" of innocence around adults. Eventually it because a nickname. Now, years later, the name still sticks.

I called someone a "Snuffaluffagus" (see Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street) once. He retaliated by calling me a "Ralfufigus," which is a combination of my name, Ralph, and Snuffaluffagus. Ever sine that fateful day, I've adopted the moniker as my own.

I just felt like being the Titan of time one day and blam. Nah haha, no I think I got it from reading all those Percy Jackson books, and then one day when I started gameing for the first time, it asked for a username... And I thought and I though, and I was like, "Kronos" Titan of time, lord of the 12 titans yea that's pretty cool, but that was taken and I was like, "whaaat", so I put 645 and it worked, and that how it happened.
