    I think I just assumed your first name was Aidan and I pronounced it like that :S

    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:

    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. 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.

    nickname that people seem incapable of pronouncing, especially the Yanks.
    Actually pronounced Addy for those who don't know. Not A D or AID(:facepalm:)

    I also presumed it was Aid! Probably due to Abe being A-I-B :P

    Well I have a very uninteresting one, my surname Canning and some random numbers that were easy to remember at the time :)

    Ok, here we go.......


    XBL = x43r0djor1


    x43r0 = xaero when spelled using letters (pronounced Zero)

    xaero is the final boss in Quake III which was the first FPS I ever played
    http://www.giantbomb.com/xaero/94-6834/

    djor1 is my initials with 1 appended - djor1 is my username when logging in to computers in college

    Hence x43r0djor1



    For communication sake on XBL i'm open to be called zero, X or just Damien

    I messed up signing up for boards.ie hence yimrsg (dam you massive hands!) instead of yimrag which I made up yonks ago after giving up getting a proper myname@email.blah.

    So I randomly pressed the letters in no particular order "y", "m", "r","i","a", &"g" which I changed into yimrag which worked out better than the other possibilities: rimgay and gayrim
