I've always liked names that sound as if they are from space, or epic for that matter. Names such as Ebola, Navia, Nebula. Maybe I just like names that end with an A?
I used to be called Navia but then I decided I wanted to use my name change and join a clan. The requirements of the clan would have to be; a cool name, not require attendance for 1v1 'practice' and good players. No team on SEA satisfied those requirements (either I didn't want to join them or they didn't want me for whatever reason) so I decided to ask the leader of the NA clan 'haCk' if I could represent them on the SEA server. After sending some replays and talking for a bit the guy agreed so we were in business. After staring at the name change for a while i decided that haCkNebuLa looked cooler than haCkNavia so I decided to go with that.
Back in vanilla WoW, the first High Warlord was a mage and someone I knew and respected for his creativity and skills. In the end, it was because of him that I rerolled a mage. He was Phoenixx of Warsong =)
My mate made my name up when creating my email account back in 2003. Dj are the initials oft first and middle name then villian is a cross between my last name and villain since I was be called Dylan the villain.
I thought it it be original so I used it for every game I have ever played (cs, CSS, sc:bw and wow [I am ashamed to say I played it even if it was a little amount of time]) as well as any username I could.

well my favorite cartoon character for a long long time has been harley quinn because batman is boss.... and through that i kind of got this fascination with jesters and things... so bam... jester... the cc stands for Cruise Control... a little clan a few of my friends and I have... which is what one of our mates calls allied control in team games and we thought that was pretty funny...
Way back in the BW days i used to call myself Mr.Furious or various riffs on the name "Furious" including "furious(56k)" and the highly maxtreme "feeldafury".
This translated into everyone calling me "fur" when in chat. So eventually I just shortened it down...
My favourite character in Barry Eisler's "John Rain" Assassin novels is a loud-mouthed marine sniper by the name of Dox; earning his nickname for his employment of unorthodox tactics. I've always been a fairly unorthodox player, so I figured it fit.
Unfortunately unorthodox doesn't necessary mean successful.
Cruxis is a fictional organization in Tales of Symphonia. At the beginning of the game, Cruxis is thought to be a society of holy beings who protect the worlds in the religion Church of Martel. They are thought to be a good force in the game until the group reaches the Tower of Salvation, where it all changes.

I had heaps of lame names during my Counterstrike days. When I made my sc2 account I had just watched this episode of the simpsons and the rest is history.

I recall creating my first email account and having no idea so doing my 11 year old impersonation of latin swears = fatcrapinius.
When I started playing CS i randomly changed it to fatpigsucker... and many of my opponents would ask; "But are you a fat pig that sucks? Or do you SUCK fat pigs?" I would reply by headshotting their entire team with the USP and laughing maniacally.
When the days of Warcraft 3 came along and I joined a big clan that was dominating US West at the time [FTR], I had to create a new account so I changed to 'pig.random' because I was a random player and fatpigsucker just didn't sound quite right...
The years wore on and all I was left with was a love of those pink, curly tailed wondrous beasts! From the pink and cuddly-babe style ones, to the huge mofo boars that rip people's faces off...
I once found a massive centipede in the garden, and my dad told me it was called a Mukade, and I thought it sounded cool. Also, Mukade was my favourite character from the video game Oni.
Back when I first started playing games online (duke 3d/halflife dm) era I was always changing my name and never found one I like. Thought of XanT one day and just liked it
Was usually some variant of Eddie, but decided to join clan FaDe, so figured it was time to get a more unique alias for gaming, so thought of FaDeEdOne. Sort of name in its self
I used to play WoW, and was rolling a male night elf warrior. I wanted this character to be serious, not like all the ones before it where I was messing around (hadn't gotten to max level before, was determined this guy would be my first) with characters like Frozennipple. Googled "elf name generator", ran it a couple of times till I got one I liked and BAM Avelestar was born. I ended up playing that game night and day for 2 years and it almost ruined my life....but I quit and never looked back, but the name was still a part of me.
Me and my friend played quake 2 on PC way back in the day.
The default name was FreshMeat
So when we tried to get our friend to join in quake 2 with us we decided to come up with suitably insulting and nooby name based off of the default. (despite me also being pretty bad at the game :P)
I came up with "Meatex_Salami" which I thought was funny and original so I took it as my own. Shortened to Meatex after a few years.
Interesting side note, I have not seen another Meatex in any game on anything but I did notice a guy who was a member of a cracking group with the Nick "Meatex_Salami" 0.o
