    Mine is my nickname + one of my favorite cartoon characters from frisky dingo. Just couldn't fit it all in my gamertag. Hence the missing "U" in lunchbox.

    Tetrapanax Papyrifer - The binomial name for the plant used to make rice paper. I have a clay wall-hanger with a bas-relief of a T. Papyrifer leaf on it, with the name under it. When I was trying to decide on a handle, it caught my eye and I decided I liked the word.

    I joined XBL a little late...having been a Nintendo person all my life. So when I tried to use my initials, PJZ, the username had already been taken by someone in Asia. But they abandoned it. Unfortunately, Microsoft won't do anything about that so the username shall be abandoned for all time.

    So I signed up with THE REAL PJZ. And when I started playing Modern Warfare 2, all my newly found friends started calling me PJzzz or Pajamas. Not "Pee-Jay-Zee"

    So finally after enough of Pee-Jayzzzz.....I switched it to PapaJuiletZulu.

    Trolls always get a rise when they see "Juliet" in the name :D

    I've had many GT's in the past, but MissMayhem was something that my mom and I came up with since I wanted something that would recognize that I'm female, then I needed another word so my mom said "Mayhem. MissMayhem". I liked how it came out in the end, thinking about changing my gamertag back to MissMayhem. I shouldn't have changed it.

    Everyone always asks where I got the name pilgor3 and it's been my gamertag for 5yrs.

    I was tryin to think of a gamertag before I bought my xbox 360 and I got my name from this show called kenny vs spenny . On this one episode the challenge was who could have a goat tied to their leg the longest, loser had to make out with a grandma in a public park. Kenny had a goat and the goat started pissing on this baby Jesus figurine and he said " no pilgore stop pissing on baby Jesus" the rest was history.

    Hunter is actually my middle name but I've always gone with it in my social life. The only people that call me Elijah are the wife and people in my professional life.

    On the previous forum I constantly changed my username (well not all the time but every couple months), so after JohnGalt, Andrew Ryan, RoyMustang and Sherlock, I changed my name to Legion as a forum in-joke and also because i had just played through the mass effect trilogy recently, I love Legion from that game.

    My name is based off of the culinary device engineered via submerging a nephrops norvegicus in fatty oils until the outside breaded surface of the creatures coagulates into a hard, brittle surface.

    I worked at a pet store when Halo: CE came out and I'm not very creative so I called my Spartan PetShopGuy. I added the 05 when I got Xbox live because PetShopGuy was taken and five is my favorite number. Could have updated the occupation a few times in the past ten years, but it'd feel wrong gaming under a different name.
