How did you pick your CAG screen name?

[pogipinoy27]

Just curious to see how other people settled upon their names.

For me, it's broken up.

pogi = cute/handsome in my language (tagalog)
pinoy = what filipino people call each other
27 = day of birth

hence...pogipinoy27


What about you?

[RAMSTORIA]

ram = the name of my hamster that is alive still after 12 years

stor = is because i own a liquor store (we do bail bonds too)

ia = is my middle name, its from my great great grandfather who was an inuit.

[Cracka]

I used to play an online FPS called tribes a while back. One guy i knew had the sn White, so as a joke i made my name Black. Then white and black reminded me of races so i changed my sn to Cracker, then Cracka. I then used that sn on Tribes for several years, so i decided to use it here too.

[GuilewasNK]

"GuilewasNK"

I used the name Guile long ago and I was in a Quake III clan called NK until it died, therefore GuilewasNK.

By the way, Guile rhymes with MILE.

[naes]

Haven't we had this thread before?


naes is Sean backwards. I've used it ever since I was 7.

[ananag112]

ananag was my highschool computer username. Its the first three letters of my first name and first three letters of my last name. 12 is my birth day. Not sure why I made it 112...

[fatherofcaitlyn]

Sex.

[Rig]

Haven't we had this thread before?


A couple times, yes.

Younger children usually mispronounce my name. When they do, they say "Rig".

People on Xbox Live sometimes ask if I work on oil rigs. I always just tell them I do.

Oh, and I have convinced multiple people on Live that my gamertag is actually my phone number (R-I-G - 9385). It's not, but they usually believe me.

P= Middle initial
O= First letter of last name.

JMEPO

[Thongsy]

I'm lazy, and instead of using Squall I used my last name, which was also my name in Final Fantasy XI. Carby for life.

[Maklershed]

This has come up tons of times but I'll play...

While trying to select an AIM screename awhile ago, I pressed a bunch of keys at once and "maklershed" came up. It seemed like a real word so I stuck with it.

[johnmirra]

I was into the max payne games when i joined and i always thought the fake tv shows in the game were really interesting so i went with Johnmirra. The character from Adress Unknown.

[Sofa King Kool]

I'm just so fucking cool...............

[Kain Vincent]

My sn is the name of a character I plan to use in some stories.

[Chase]

'Tis my name. :u

[Mr Unoriginal]

I have a penis, hence the Mr. I'm not original, hence the Unoriginal. Descriptive.

[Mr Unoriginal]

Halloween costume. The beard is real.

[Chase]

Being able to grow facial hair must be fun. :robot: I wouldn't know.

[Rocko]

Obvious.

[darkslime]

I was fighting a dark slime in DQVIII while choosing a sn on some other site.

[rhymetimesfine]

I was looking for a name that when spoken would be both physically and mentally numbing.

[Brak]

Hi. My name is Brak!

[ihadFG]

This has come up tons of times but I'll play...

While trying to select an AIM screename awhile ago, I pressed a bunch of keys at once and "maklershed" came up. It seemed like a real word so I stuck with it.

That's exactly how I got ihadFG, just pressing on the keyboard.

[tokitoki50]

I just started typing and this is what I ended up with. No Joke.

[JJSP]

JJSP = JJ SmartPunk

[SneakyPenguin]

It was my e-mail. Before that, I was randomly sitting around and came up with it one day. It stuck.

Nowadays I go by ZeroThePenguin, or simply Zero.

[Xevious]

I was a fan of the game Xevious. It also sounded kinda cool..

[neverletthem]

neverletthem is a shortened version of Neverletthemtakeyoualive, but most sites don't allow that many characters for a name. Tough this name has stuck, and I always enjoy getting asked "Never let them WHAT?!"

[JolietJake]

[bigdaddy]

Mine is not from a wrestler, a video game character or the chef on Foodnetwork. None of that.

It is a nickname because I hate children and was really thin and tall when the name started. So I'm now average build and I'm not a daddy. :)

[Weedy649]

I originally came up with the alias in high school, weedy is another word for lanky, yet much less used. I didnt want to be the 1 billionth person walking around being called slim or flaco lol...

Plus people always used to say i looked high....but its just my laid back personality so i felt it fit

64 = Jersey number in freshman football
9 = My jersey number when i played baseball as a kid(and also my favorite number due to that)

[dmaul1114]

Couldn't think of anything. Saw and old dmaul figure I had on my desk at the time. Tacked on my b-day since dmaul was taken.

[cochesecochese]

I had originally selected my irc name: cunt_cochese_

The cochese is from the video for Sabotage. I thought it might not go over too well and I thought the death of Bobby K was riotously funny so I remixed that shit and got cochesecochese.

THE END

[The Mana Knight]

I had trouble coming up with an online name. I started off using a variation of my name (back in 2002), then went to gaming characters in 2003. Tried one name in 2004, but since it didn't work out well, I decided I needed a new name.

Knight = favorite character class in an RPG.

I tried various names such as Phantom Knight, but none seemed right. Someone had the screenname, "The Mana" something, and I really liked it. So then I decided to become The Mana Knight. Ever since I used it, things started going pretty well for me online so I stuck to it. Shortly after, I edited the name and most use Mana Knight. For the most part now it goes:

Mana = Big Secret of Mana fan and love many RPGs that have mana in them.
Knight = Still my favorite character class.

If I use "The", mostly because I do like the letter "T" and wanted to use a short word that worked (my first name begins with T).

[syrupninja]

On an old board I was on we did a big story in parts, and the Syrup Ninja was my character for the story and it stuck. I also enjoy waffles and pancakes. And ninjas.

[Poor2More]

Poor= What I was
2More= What I have became

[BigPopov]

As a joke we bought some popov (cheap vodka)

That weekend I had a party at my house and got trashed, started taking the popov to the head, calling myself Big Popov. It's stuck ever since.

[Loonknight]

Loon = Well I'm a bit crazy, what can I say. ;)


Knight = have always been one in one form or another.

[lilboo]

my name is Lily and I am black.

[GuilewasNK]

my name is Lily and I am black.

:lol:

[DJSteel]

DJ are my first and middle initials.. Steel is in reference to Pittsburgh, where I live and grew up..

[CouRageouS]

my name is Lily and I am black.
Well that explains all the sass!

[yukine]

Very carefully.

I needed a new username, girlfriend came up with it and I thought it sounded interesting. That's it.

I wouldn't mind changing it, maybe even to my gtag name. But I have a lot of sites invested into that name, it would take way too much time and effort to change it.

[Allnatural]

Because I was (and still am, mostly) a health nut. I use this name on every board I'm registered at, so if you see Allnatural elsewhere, it's probably me.

[HotShotX]

I started using for a game known as NetMonster, many years ago. Stuck with me ever since. The earliest physical evidence I have of using the name is a pair of dog tags I had printed at a museum about 8-9 years ago. I think they are still buried somewhere at my mom's house.

As for NetMonster, some of the old emails still exist on the Yahoo! logs, this is the oldest message from me that I could find:

[speedracer]

When I was 17, I got a ticket doing 123 in a 55. In Compton. At 2:30am. The cop called me a little speedracer, cut me a ticket for $802, and told me to have a nice evening.

So yea.

But I have a lot of sites invested into that name, it would take way too much time and effort to change it.I actually had a similar situation where I used one name a lot (my old online name). What I did was just change my name on forums, while some webspace type sites, I just created a new account. And then I made sure to use Mana Knight pretty much everywhere.

[lilboo]

How did you get "The" though? :-s

[SeanNOLA]

My name is Sean, and up until recently, I lived in New Orleans. I actually want to change my name, because I moved away this year, and I'm not exactly proud of where I came from, but I'm in the same boat as Yukine where I'm kinda invested in this name now, and I'm only a few months away from my CACiversary, and I'm not sure if I want to start all over again :-\

[Gentlegamer]

As a long-time Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, I used to read The Dragon, in which Gary Gygax had a regular column titled "From the Sorcerer's Scroll." Gygax often refered to the "Gentle Readers," so I extrapolated to Gentle Gamer, or Gentlegamer. It's my screen name at any game-related community.

[johnnypark]

From a Foo Fighters song. Not a huge fan, but I loved The Color and the Shape, their 2nd album, and just chose it randomly. The actual song is called, "Hey, Johnny Park!"

[Sperz]

name of an old wow character.
