Years ago I use to really like a TV show called Lexx so my online name in games was normally Kai or DivineAssassin. When I started playing Neverwinter nights I helped my friends make all their characters on the custom server we played on.... They gave me the shits one weekend thinking they were all good with the chars I made for them so I made a new account and named it Fadey and hunted them all weekend while sitting in teamspeak silently knowing their every move xD.
I picked Fadey from another game called Natural Selection which was a half life 1 mod. It was a Alien vs Human game with one of the aliens being a "Fade" which i always loved playing as. I played Fadey so much it stuck with me and thats what I have used for the last few years.
normally my online name is i8noodles but since number weren't allowed so when i typed it in and found out that u cant use number i said "osnap" been that ever since =D
When Polyphemus asks for Odysseus' name, promising him a guest-gift if he answers, Odysseus tells him "οὔτις," [Nemo] literally "nobody." Being drunk, Polyphemus thinks of it as a real name and says that he will eat "nobody" last and that this shall be his guest-gift—a vicious insult both to the tradition of hospitality and to Odysseus. With that, Polyphemus crashes to the floor and passes out. Odysseus, with the help of his men, lifts the flaming stake, charges forward and drives it into Polyphemus' eye, blinding him. Polyphemus yells for help from his fellow cyclopes that "nobody" has hurt him. The other cyclopes think Polyphemus is making a fool out of them or that it must be a matter with the gods, and they grumble and go away.
That's probably one of the more ancient pseudo and I liked the smartness of Ulysses on this case.
Now a lot of people online say they "have found Nemo". That makes me smile even if it's not at all the origin of this pseudo. It has been chosen far before the film about the little clownfish.
Before knowing this story Nirvana created my special sc2sea Avatar with a combination of the colored clownfish and a black and white bearded Captain Nemo. I was so delighted to have a image of the way he was seing me and also delighted as it was also how I'm seeing myself.
Two years ago when I was in France with some friends, we decided to drink... a lot. I found a beer called "The Maximator" (made by Amsterdam 14% or something), it was funny because Max is my real name. So today my ingame names are usually theMaximator or Varanth.
For StitcH, one of my best friend nicknamed me stitch cause she thought I sounded like the cartoon character. Sometimes there were moments she would forget my name and called me stitch instead. >< Hence StitcH was formed! =)
I have a family friend who would every now and again would call me Bugalugs. I needed a name for an RPG (can't remember which one) and I needed to come up with a last name. McScruffin popped into my head and I became Bugalugs McScruffin.
Now, thanks to both HoN and LoL, I am now a Doctor. Bugalugs McScruffin wouldn't fit, Bugalugs is often taken and McScruffin by itself rarely looks good. In both games I believe my name is DrMcScruffin. Doctor was the first title that popped in my head as I tried to think of a title that didn't sound crap with McScruffin. I may have chosen a different one if I'd thought about it harder, but Doctor it is.
Look at my ingame avatar..now look at my ingame name...lol XD I usually go under other names for games and these names are either related to Star Wars or just my preference of the time. :P

I used to play a lot of racing games, and so I chose Aero because it sounded cool and it kind of ties into racing with most race-cars having aerodynamic aids (wings, splitters, etc.).
One day as I was racing some guys online I overtook one of my Scottish friends so he typed into chat "Aero, you punk!" and so it stuck :]
My friends and I were really into Halo 2 when it first came out, I needed a name for that and being the original person I am I just stole it from red vs blue.
My user login name for my high school was dtorre. I used to sit with someone who loved seeing my username and would always call me Dtorr. Since I played Counter-strike with my friends, they said I should call myself by that name. So I decided to style it up as DtorR and it has been with me ever since. Just for the note DtorR represents my full name shortened, where D is for Daniel and Torr is for Torrez.
When I was about 14 I used to go by the name "zephian" on forums..a name which a friend came up for me a long time ago. When I started playing wow I tried to call my character just that but it was already taken...so the variation that I ended up being able to use was zepph Since then it's what I've used for everything.
i always used to make pink armour characters in halo called bambi for a giggle as everyone else was using RvB names at the time. After being so easy to spot for so long i decided to use a dark brown skin and be bbq_sauce but the three other people on the console "helped" my type it so by the time BBQSAC was entered that was enough and it has stuck ever since. I played in a couple of the reddit sea king of the hills and listening to my mate and another bloke try and say my name in the cast without laughing was tops
