1337- Because of the internet slang of 1337sp33k for elite.
m00n- 1337sp33k for moon, because my last name is Moon.
m4n- 1337sp33k for man, because I am a dude.

Mine is almost to elaborate to explain. It's my last name followed by the first letter of my first name. I know...creative.

There's one for "What card does you name link to?", but I don't think there's one about this.

I was playing Counter Strike many years ago and my mic broke, so I named myself Silent Turtle, and somewhere along the way, I dropped the Turtle and tacked 1236 on for a website since "Silent" was already used.

My dad made mine bout 9 years ago for my PSN. We did karate, a style from okinowa called gojuru. At the time I was obsessed with dragons, so he took the GoJu and added dragon so I was GoJuDragon. Been using the name almost ever since, however it's not my PSN anymore

My nickname in the Army was Coaltrain.....so cltrn is Coaltrain without vowels......and 81 is my birth year.  Surprisingly I have found this handle already in use in various websites requiring a user name.

Mine actually came from "The Onion."

Many years ago, I read one of their "articles" by a columnist under the name of "Gorzo the Mighty, Emperor of the Universe." an unusual piece of a mad emperor attempting to fend off his arch-nemesis, the hero Crash Comet. I laughed quite hard, and have honored the work by carrying the name since. If you're a fan of the Onion, look up the columnist. He's written 4 articles to date that I know of, all hilarious.

Edit: the picture I use is His Columnist self-portrait, btw. Solid gold.

I like to drink coffee. Because of this, some friends call me "Coffee" as a nickname. Of course, I am not coffee itself, but a Coffee Vampire. They used to be quite numerous, but now unfortunately I believe that I am the last Coffee Vampire. Hence my name.

I love that series!!! What do you think of Inheritance?. My username is pretty obvious but I'll explain. My first magic cards came from the duels of the planeswalkers Jace deck. Also my first pull that was actually good was {Jace Beleren}

Mine comes from a Dungeon & Dragons character I had years ago. I made it up then, sounded fairly Elven. I just dropped the apostrophe and extra capital.

It's a palindrome, it can be spelled backwards and foreward and still be the same thing. I dunno why I picked the letter s though. I also sometimes use noradaron

I got mine when my cousins and myself started telling people it was what my real name was short for which is Levi. Then I got into weightlifting and football and was benching 300 and squating 500 as a sophomore. The childhood joke became my actual name on the football team.

Way back when I first got Xbox live I wanted a gamer tag that would let people know I was the best at Halo 2. My buddy was listening to 50 cent I think it was and he stated that he was a " silverback gorilla in a concrete jungle". I liked it so I used silvrbacgorrila. Yeah I wasn't very good at spelling lol

Mine came from my days as a Rugby League player. Illegal now, but because of my height it was hard NOT to spike tackle chumps. I was also obsessed with Mortal Kombat, especially The Pit arena.

One day I made a game saving spike tackle, which a team mate yelled "oooooooh, straight to the Pit! Flawless Victory!" and it evolved into them screaming "SPIKEPIT" in future games to replicate the game saver.

Stuck ever since.

I was playing CoD4 with a friend of mine when it first got released and this was my nick. Kept using it ever since. Some people i know just call me by this name and when asked about my real name they cant remember. These are very close friends mind you.

What position did you play?

Bc I had a similar story for another name. One of my other names I use is QuackAttack, not only bc it rhymes but bc of rugby. I played prop, at only 180 and would go up against guys who are over 250-300 pounds. Even though I was at a slight disadvantage, I would always scrum better and ruck harder. But I also played flank sometimes when we really needed power against 8mans who were big. So when we lost the scrum and the 8man would release, our scrummy would yell QUACKATTACK and that was my signal that he was coming my way. First game I ever played flanker, I broke the 8mans collar bone within 5 minutes of the game. So from then on, I was just called quackattack
