PiPo is my cousins nickname, whos name is Phillip, one of the most nicest and honest person I know
I put his name in because back in the day he used to kill everyone at any game he played, another thing is he once had an accident where he fell off the fifth floor of a hotel on new years eve (cannabis), he then smashed through a glass roof and landed on a second layer, under that was concrete, if that glass shattered as well he would have died and he should have been dead anyway, but he somehow survived, even the doctors said he was supposed to be dead. So I put his name in for luck.

Gevy is my nickname the kids gave me at primary school, Gevergiz was my name and ppl didnt really know how to pronounce it cos they were all italian aussies lol~

So PiPo+Gevy = PiPoGevy!

[Dragmah]

When I was young I liked Draco (way before the Harry Potter movies so dont get all yippety), but one of my friends just kept calling me Dragmah, and after some time I just thought meh what the heck and have had it all these years throughout so many different games.

[ToRLegit]

[A3Mercury]

Oh I always like these..

I started really competitively gaming on Halo so my Gamertag was 'pr0ject merc' which a more mature me wouldn't have gone with. I was a fan of TSquared because he used his initials (tom taylor) practically as his name so I wanted AAA somewhere in it (austin alan andrews) and at the time I was really into listening to the band Queen. I share a birthday with Freddie Mercury so I took off the pr0ject and added A3 and the end of merc'ury'

Weird but whatever lol

[Seffy]

I got my name from listening to a Korean K-pop group called Secret, one of their members is named Jieun and she's the main vocalist.
She sings first in the video around 0:43.

[LaughingMan]

Laughing Man = From ghost in the shell stand alone complex.... i don't know that anime just made me worship him. And ever since i saw it about those many years ago i changed my alias to it.

[BicuriousGeorge]

My username is SirJoseph, which I thought sounded fancy.
I guess it works :P

[Inumbris]

I have quite the gamer name history. The earliest one that I could remember that wasn't my actual name was "Jester", since I didn't take much seriously and loved the quirky nature of certain Nintendo games and such.
Then when I made it to my teenage years and started playing shooters more and more I obviously felt I needed a serious aggressive name that would be taken "seriously" haha :P So out of that was born "MidniteMasacre". I don't remember why it was just a bit random, with misspellings so that it would be the right length for an Xbox Live name. It was like reading a punch in the face and I was content.
Next were the WoW days. Being a Night Elf Rogue prompted me to take a name that was more sneaky and mysterious , so I inverted the popular figure of lore Kael'thas Sunstrider and made "Shadestrider".
Since then until very recently all my igns have been variations of "Shade" in some way but I was sick of the name always being taken where ever I went on the web, so I endeavored to create the One Name to rule over all of my accounts. After about an hour or so long session with the Latin Google translator I found a name that was not remotely used on Steam, or globally on SC2. It rolled off the tongue. It was memorable. And most importantly, it still fit my Modus Operandi as a gamer.
I found my one name.

"Inumbris" is Latin for "In the shadows", and this One will rule over all of my online kingdom for some time to come

[ChaynesOre]

My surname is McCulloch -- used to be a brand of chainsaw. I bastardised the spelling to get chaynesore Chaynes for short!

Every comment I've seen say the spelling is awesome. I agree! :D

[ToRPatto]

I was walking into my cousin's room and saw that he had made a number plate out of wood on his door. Instead of 'Victoria On The Move' (or some variant) it was 'Patto on the move' Patterson is my last name so I stole it and never told him

[AuxActive]

having a shower, bottle of pantene shampoo on the shelf, active was derived from reading the back of the bottle. true story.

[ZizLah]

I got randomly called Bodzilla one day by a neighbor, annoying kid, but i went with it. Went with the name for many years with different spelling, Zilla being the more common one.

But my older brother is responsibly for getting me into games, he used to go by the name Snizza, so as a tribute to him seeing as he barely has time to game anymore i changed it to ZizLah

[Mattyb21]

Once was playing a 2v2 on ladder with a (very drunk) mate, we were losing and I only had mostly mutas left, he screamed out over and over again, "GO FOR THE JUGULAR, GO FOR THE JUGULAR" Which after crazy amounts of discovery led to my ingame name being Jugular

[FSmoofang]

Back in Junior College there was an inexplicable fad going on of troll-buying plushies for guys during their birthday. My friends got me a cow, and, knowing my favorite Dota hero was Luna Moonfang, jokingly christened the cow "Moofang". Somehow that became my online handle.

[SFTAElessar]

Well, I am 14 years old random grandmaster player, so i thought that "The Young One" was unique and cool Since i am really young and a good player and is easily remembered

[mGGNemesis]

When I was younger, I saw this series, Hercules : The Legendary Journeys. Nemesis was a character featured in the show. She is one of the minor goddness, the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods); though protrayed as balance and justice.

Probs best described using wikipedia as :
The word Nemesis originally meant the distributor of fortune, neither good nor bad, simply in due proportion to each according to what was deserved; then, nemesis came to suggest the resentment caused by any disturbance of this right proportion, the sense of justice which could not allow it to pass unpunished.

I also liked that the name is for a female yet not sounding girly if u know what I mean. And I happen to like reading about Greek mythology.

[xTend]

Scivation xTend - I think - was an amino acid supplement I was taking at the time.. When it came to making my account name I looked over on the shelf and there it was.. lol.. Didn't taste particularly nice but they never do >.<

[mGGLearning]

I was looking for a name that represented where I was at in regards to the game itself. Maybe one day it will change. I doubt it though. Always learning. =D

[FSNiseH]

Well back when I used to play dota my friend I often played with would take a ridiculously long time to load, leading to many "are you playing on a toaster?" jokes. Eventually when I got sc2 and tried to decide on a nick, toaster was too boring so i added battle. Unfortunately starcraft 2 has a character limit so my in-game ID was stuck with BattleToast, which is nowhere near as cool.
