Where does your name come from?

Tallon

I'm interested to know how everyone thought of they're usernames and PSN/XBL names as I sometimes they differ and I havnt a clue who people are when they come online

So how did you get yours and what does it mean?

Ah you were in a few games with us last night?

Jet Black

My psn id is SgtMartyMcFly
It was in secondary a guy started calling me mcfly. Nicknames just stuck. My first name is Martin so thats why I choose that. Sgt is just instead of numbers or xxx's at the start of my name.
Oh and its in reference to back to the future. The band was not around when I was in secondary.

Mr. Manager

The Last Samurai, Ken Watanabe plays a character called Katsumoto.

I fell in love with this movie when it came out...

Unfortunately, Katsumoto was taken so I wanted to be called "the" Katsumoto but thought that sounded a bit silly so went for the Spanish of "the" which is "el". Henceforth "ELKATSUMOTO" was born.

When I moved house my brother held onto the Xbox so I had to buy a new one and with that came my new and final GamerTag = xxELKATSUMOTOxx

Tallon

And you really like coco pops?

Actually pronounced Addy for those who don't know. Not A D or AID(:facepalm:)

• LFC

I support Manchester United, clearly.

• Alves

I was in love(don't worry I grew out of it :pac:) with the footballer Daniel Alves pre-Barcelona and was yapping on about him just after he moved to Sevilla in school, yet no one took any notice until he really established himself :rolleyes:

Quick

B_r_a_1_n


Working in IT for the past 10 years. Half of the emails I get are addressed "Brain", spellcheck sees it being correct in emails.

Friends have started calling me Brain now aswell and its stuck.

You must be American surely :pac:

CORaven

CORaven is an abbreviation of my first email address.

<fullname>withtheravens[at]hotmail.com
I met a few people in France a good few years back. To stay in contact, they introduced me to MSN messenger and my email address was the result of an in-joke. Got sick of seeing the full name in every convo so I shortened it down to just CORaven.

COR (initials) + Raven
I know there is two Rs but it blends well.

Kells...

my second name

Lol. Quite a few of my teachers in the school I attended called me all sorts - Aidan, Adriaaaaaaaaaaaan, Adman, that guy in the bush and so on. No worries there. If you saw me, I sure as hell don't look the sort to have an Irish name :pac:

Tommy_NDX

Due to my complete lack of an imagination, my names came from whatever i happened to see in my room at the time.

Tommy_NDX comes from Tommy+a box of Nike NDX golf balls.
Remi223 from a box of Remington .223 calibre bullets.

Any box with something written on it would have done me.:D

Risteard

Risteard. Pretty simple, Irish for my name.

Once I was playing MW2 and someone joined the game with the name 'Risteardinho' and an Eire Clan tag. Made me smirk.
