I'm called Andy and I'm fairly realistic about my gaming ability. I think this thread shows that there aren't many exciting background stories for people's online username. |

Registered 15 years agoIt's the initial of my first name, basically. A friend of mine at uni called me that as a nickname, so I just used it when I registered. Soon afterwards I realised that it was also a popular female name.
The name I use for all other accounts is much more interesting... when creating my Xbox gamertag, it popped up on the list of random name suggestions. It was silly and made me laugh so I decided to stick with it. I'd change it to that on here too, but I get annoyed when people randomly change their UID and you have no idea who they are.

Should have changed it to DmJ
My initials. I was really struck by inspiration the day I registered.
I kinda wish I'd done it in lowercase as it's more pleasing to the eye. Ho hum. -

Registered 15 years agoAnother from wireplay/q2 days - originally covenant taken from.the fantasy novels of that name. Hero with uber powers he is unable to use and invariably ends up weeply gently in the corner after everyone dies. Seemed suitable after playing q2dm3 or being drilled 34-0 in a duel by CoG E^Z when i first started playing (and you had to trial to join a clan)
Morphed into covavoo because of another q2 player called vorvavoo and shortened to cov (pronounced cuv cos northern). Also played as Orga[sm]

Registered 7 years agoMine's a pretty straight forward mispelling of Rorschach, obviously.
More interesting is the origin of my PSN handle - DieFliedermouse. I got home from the pub, set up my account while half cut and completely bollocksed up the spelling of die fledermaus.
When I started I want my handle to be Die Fledermaus, Die! But during the long period of typing out the name one button at a time I forgot all about that and the rest is regrettable history.

No really exciting history behind my name, my nickname from school added with WayOh.l because there was a song at the time that sounded like JamboWayOh, so it stuck.

Registered 6 years agoAny other David Gemmil fans?
Dakeyras is the main character from Waylander, a rather cool assassin with a double firing crossbow!
I chose it as at the explosion of the Internet in the early/mid 2000s I was at uni and loving all things David Gemmil (Waylander being my favourite character).
The UK just ensures it is available as I have it on psn, xbl, nintendo, eurogamer, domino's, BBC etc etc. -
