    The PSE has 118 Elements on it... therefor I still have 118 names to go through. Also a dice may help or grabbing names from random substances.

    It was 2010 when i was about to finish high school and a group of my friends told me about Steam. So i made an account and thought "Hmm what should my username be?" so i combined my two favorite things at the time and came up with "Agent Chicken". I really loved secret agent genre of things like Metal Gear Solid, Splinter cell even some of the Tom Clancy novels that had spies in it, and the chicken part was just my favorite animal, Absolutely love chickens!. So AgentChicken has been my username for years now, and I've never changed it.

    Grab your popcorn and try not to fall asleep.
    Here's a story of finding my internet identity - I randomly got fond of the name Zach at one point, or Zachary(not Zachariah). In one game(was something browser based, I think), I had to pick a lastname for the character(from a dropdown menu, no less). I came up with IonPaw(had something to do with electricity I think). From that came the letter combination ZiP(Zach ion Paw). Since that didn't sound much like a name, I decided to take another letter from each name, getting Zaiopa(ZAch IOn PAw). Used that for a while, but I eventually wanted to have a name with K(and now have an addiction to naming everything with a K). I came up with Kent Keas, which derived from my real life name in a while. Was a good alter ego name, but it was too common and had a hard time getting Kent as my username to places. Then, when playing a game and waiting for a queue, I opened up paint, wrote my name, and started mutilating the letters to the point where I accidentally created KEZEAL. All was good on that day.

  6. Vith

    Vith Cosmic Narwhal

    I was addicted to the Silent Hill series A LOT. I loved the symbolism in that game; one of the deities is called Lobsel Vith. Vith is close to 'Vita', which is latin/italian for life (plus I thought it sounded nice), so I always used the alias Vith if it was available. Always use it to name my characters in any game (if possible), too.

    Not to mention life in Latin. Hence why alcohol was sometimes referred to as Aqua Vita! :p

    ...as an Estonian, reading that word is weird. "Vitt" means the female reproduction organ.
    ...he actually did say:

    And now we know that Vith is not estonian ^^

    It reminds me of a friend of mine with which we used to say random existing and non-existing words, and to joke like "haha you insulted your mom in -put a foreign language here-".

    ZyberBlood Scruffy Nerf-Herder

    Mine is a mash up from the cartoon zoids (Zaber) and Jason Blood aka Etrigan of batman. When I first heard them say zaber I thought they said zyber, It stuck. Then when reading some comic books (Batman) Etrigan came in to play but that did not work with the zyber tag. So the alter ego of him was Jason Blood and the last name worked. From that point ZyberBlood has been my staple for games and every thing else you can put a name handle to. Only once in my life have I ever found that my Handle was not available. That was on the game LOCO: Land of Chaos Online

    I got mine because I was really into the Smashing Pumpkins in the early 90s and I've used it for everything since then.

    Episode VIII: A New Username

    A long, long time ago, but somehow in the future, I rolled with Nightmare for a time. Based from the character off of Soul Calibur, since he was like super awesome and really, really kewl before they added a FREAKIN' UNICORN HORN on his head.

    Gawd. Least it was like a lava unicorn horn. Or a liquid hot magma unicorn horn.

    Anyhow, zcs is my old tag from a CS clan we created for a zombie server. "Zombie Containment Squad"

    ...the acronym is cooler without knowing what it means. But, those were my best gaming days, with some awesome folks, so I keep it as a reminder.

  15. SpaceCoaster

    SpaceCoaster Seal Broken

    My first username that I stuck with was Narmence. A long, long time ago when I used to play the mmo Maplestory, I was trying to think of a name for my elf archer character and came up with "Narmence". I decided to stick with this for around 2 years until recently. I ended up thinking the name was stupid and should just stay as a character name for some fantasy elf. Now the username I decided on was "SpaceCoaster" which also sounds stupid, but not as bad as Narmence (to me). I came up with this name, because I like space, and I like watching people mess around in the Rollercoaster Tycoon games.

  16. Triangularistic

    Triangularistic Void-Bound Voyager

    When I first got into Minecraft I needed to come up with a good name and at the time I was really into The Legend of Zelda so I took the triforce from those games and I put trident in front of it because I thought they sounded good together and that's how I got Tridenttriforce. Now I try to avoid using it because for whatever reason I'm really paranoid that Nintendo might sue me so then I came up with Triangularistic one day. And for anyone who asks I have no association with the illuminati.

    Wow, talk about blast from the past. I used to play that MMO a lot, along with WonderKing. Bera was my first server, and then eventually moved to Zenith because all the people I played with moved there, hehe.
