    I've seen some fairly creative usernames here, so I thought it'd be cool to share what the meanings are! Mine, WhoIsDo, comes from an abbreviation that was given to me when I created my very first website which was a senior project in high school.

    I thought it was pretty cool/unique, so I just kept it! What's the meaning behind your username?

    Because of a friend i started playing World of Warcraft back in '07 and i wanted a "cool" username, i asked him for his opinion and he came with Grex but as i wanted it a bit longer i putted ez behind it and boom Grexoz was born. NL is just for the country i live in (The Netherlands).

    Mine is a shortened version of my actual name. No, I didn't get it from The Office.

    From an "off hand " remark. I was trying to get my son's house cat to mind and stop scratching, or something 'cat-like", and I turned on him and said, "Look pal, you're just a cat , but I'm the "King Kitty" around here!. Since I am a Leo birth sign, it made sense. I've been Kingkat ever since. ;)

    Nice post. very interesting to read about our "game names".

    Well, Lateralus is my favorite Tool album. And 082 comes from KOTOR 2, the greatest RPG that I've ever played. Your missing out if have not played it and you're a Star Wars fan.

    I got mine from a book series called "The Night Angel Trilogy". I wanted it to look cooler and put my own spin on it, so I made the 'e' in the to a 3

    Personally, when I first bought my Playstation 3, I wanted something to show I "owned" this place. So I thought of King, and then I wanted KingOfGames, but Games was taken. I thought of the GAEMS company and then used KingOfGaems .

    Well, my original username which I created for Xbox Live and Runescape back in '07 was Toniscael, because it merged me and my 2 brothers' names since we had to share a Live account. Tony, Chris, and Michael made one pretty cool name, I thought at least. However, as time went on, through various websites and forums I'd always change the "Ton" with various things from different game series and animes and such, until I settled on "Twi" from Twilight Sparkle. I've just been using it for so long now, it's how most people refer to me as anyway and I have no intent on changing it up.

    I'm a graphic designer. I like type, or typography which is the study of type... as in fonts and hand lettering, etc. But there's more to it than that.

    A few years ago, my name was Anorexic Leader... I used to be insanely skinny, and I won every Halo local and FFA I attended in my hometown, so "Leader" was certainly fitting as well. :p

    As I grew older, my gamer tag I chose when I was 13 began to not fit my now 23 year old body. I wanted to start fresh as I moved from Halo to the Gears of War community. One night the name just hit me while I was laying in bed. As soon as it did... I jumped up in the middle of the night, and made a new XBL account right that instant. Now it's my main account, as formerly I continued paying double for 2 active XBL accounts.

    So, that is the story of that.

    I am a Master of Backgammon as I was a top ranked player back in the 70's.
    Now, it's more of who I am than my real name... LOL!
