[Xara]

Take three consecutive letters of your choice (e.g. J, K, L), throw in some vowels and maybe one or two consonants to make it sound reasonabe, and you're good to go. (e.g. Jurkayl)

That's my process whenever I need a new name. The result is almost always available.

Xara also happens to be my name.

[PulseSPR]

Lol I was thinking of a cool name and Final Fantasy XIII came to my mind so now in every game I play my nickname is Pulse

If you ever meet anyone named Cocoon you should totally rage at them.

[Rage]

This was originally meant to be an ironic name for an offracing BM smurf.

However, in an IRONIC TWIST, it is now my actual name!

[ToRSpartaz]

I got mine from a Satelite -.- Stratos eventually became Spartaz. But that was only a temp name ^^ eventually ill make the transition to my true name hahaha.

[MezjE]

EZ sons, CombatEX obviously, I believe he is a good player and is very entertaining... He has changed a lot form his sniping and BM days! Although he still does BM a bit...

[breadfan]

Well I decided to go with something different from breadfan (for some reason, it's my handle everywhere else), and I was listening to Diamond Head at the time, I threw in some random capitals and BlitZKrieg was born

[DM.MCZ.Shondy]

cause and think of a name that can add in with

[mrGRAPE]

I like eating grapes, so henceforth I shall be known as mrGRAPE! Tadah!

[Goldie]

got mine from sc2 manager xD

[DeekZ]

When I was playing World of Warcraft a few years ago, me and some friends had a habit of 'shortening' words for no real reason. ("can't be fucked = cbf = ceebz" for example), I made a new character which was a Death Knight and 'shortened' DK into DeeKz, before this my characters name was named by someone else so I didn't really have a proper ID, it eventually became my main ID.

Funnily enough no one really gets it and just thinks it's a 'funny' way of saying dicks lol.

[ZiggyD]

My middle name is Ziggy and my first name is Daniel. So it's an aggregate of the two. I like to think of it as first name 'Ziggy' last name 'D'. ^^

[ROOTPetraeus]

I got my name from David Petraeus, a general for the U.S Army. His nickname is General Betray-Us which I thought was funny so... yeah.

Cool, that's the first thing I thought of. Reminds me of Sarah Kerrigan probably inspired from the skater Nancy... wikipedia'd it and I was right.

[AxS.Sorathez]

I've had various nicknames throughout my gaming life. My first nick was Benjamin, back in my Adventure Quest days as a 9-year-old. Well, my name is Benjamin so go figure.

When I started playing WoW, I got a little more creative, and living in Europe at the time I wanted something that sounded German (don't ask me why) and started with a Z, and Zchlade was born (pronounced shlarder, not shlayde). Fantastic wasn't it? After that I had many names in WoW, usually born through wanting to spell a word using alternate letters (for example every second letter in Dernugioda (starting at the first) spells Druid),
For a while after that most names were just randomness (with the only condition being that it sounded like a name fit for the race I played).

Sorathez was originally my name for the second Mii I made (the first was Chikusho which is Japanese for Damnit or something to that effect), at the time I was getting in to Manga and I like the Japanese word for sky, "Sora" and instantly the name "Socrates" popped in to my head, so I mashed them together and corrupted them a bit and ended up with Sorathez and that has been my main IGN for about 3 years now, on Wii, forums, WoW and StarCraft as well as various other games. I have since stopped playing WoW and Sorathez the Druid has gone in to a steep decline.

On NA I'm known as aQszL (was also my twitch.tv nick for a while). This name (pronounced Axel, not Aqusizzle as Meatex likes to say it :P) came to me just before I slept. Axel is a fairly common name in Denmark, and it was a name I liked, but I wanted something that was spelled very strangely because I'd recently had a conversation about stupid names with outrageous spellings (for example, one could be named "Strawberry" but had it spelled Qrf, go figure). As such AqsZL was born, but overnight I forgot the capitalisation and ended up with aQszL.

[EveSigns]

Use to have a bad habit of stealing street signs and letterboxes when i was young 16-18 and drunk walking home from stuff as a teenager. pretty stupid now but funny at the time and just became my alias for forums and stuff and stuck when it came to sc2. also i like it coz its not

"XxDarkxXDEM0NxXHUNTERZZXZZ" which was pretty much what everyone elses xbox live gamertags looked like

[shumped]

My friend came up with this cool idea of removing 1 letter from his name and make that his nick.

So obviously we'd make fun of him by doing it ourself.

That's where LindN was born, it's my surname with a letter missing somewhere. Shumped is a nick I've had for over 9 years now. Used it back when I started playing on PC with CS and Battlefield

[Moeshi]

It's my xbox name and i like it a lot so never changed it :P

[kappn]

I got my name from a form of saying Captain. When I was about 5 I gave the name to my cat. Many think I got it from animal crossing but I've had the name since before it came out.

[RemarK]

Mine is my last name spelled backwards :O
