What is the story behind your name?

[Lucas15]

Lucas is my name and I wanted to start using it instead of my old name (Jigglez), but just Lucas is common and taken in most places. I decided to add a number, and at the time I was 15 and I was also graduating in 2015. So that's the story behind Lucas15

But here's a more interesting (?) story:

I also use the name Scar very often. This came from one night years ago (2014 or 2015 I think) where myself and 3 other eGO members at the time wanted to hop on L4D2 and play Versus. We wanted a theme for our names and chose Lion King as the theme. I believe we had Mufasa, Timon, Pumbaa, and of course myself as Scar. I can't remember who I was playing with but it was a fun time. Ever since that night on L4D2, Scar became part of my identity. Considering that's also a common name like Lucas, I'll use a variation like ScarCS or something relevant.

So that's my little story behind my names!

 

[Auraa]

Was reading the rules of fortnite and when I hit 34 I saw this skin named auraa

 

[hiri]

I had a friend named hirikaru, he was my one of dearest friends, he sadly died due to being severely depressed and he committed, I decided to use his username to him being my best friend and to pay respects to him. (I knew his mom very well and she told me everything.)

 

[Baefy]

This old childhood friend of mine was always goofy asf and said the most random of things and would have a new thing every week or month or whatever. One day he started like yelling BAEF and shortly a few months later I got internet in my house and xbox live for the first time ever so I knew I had to choose a name and settled on Baefy Burrito. Obviously everyone just called me baefy for short and I ended up having to make a new account I think? or maybe I just changed my gamer tag but I dropped the burrito and its just been Baefy for like at least 10 years now.... sheesh thats weird to think about. anywho thats my story.


(ps there was a short time where I had to get a new account and the name I went with on that one was Brutal_T_Bagga .... can you tell i was 11-12?

 

[Rebellious Platypus]

I use to play as exatreides (from dune) but no one could say it, so I played as John Wayne for awhile, but that didn't quite fit. So I became a Rebel Platypus, while nice, wasn't all the way there, so here I am today, a rebellious platypus.

So, I keep asking people why they chose their names and I was thinking why not make a thread about it so that I dont need to annoy the hell out of people anymore.

Let's start off with my name. I chose United Airlines because it was a meme a while ago. It was meant to be my name for a month or two until the meme died but I kept it.

Why did you choose your name?

Got my name from the movie BLADE. Deacon Frost was the bad vampire in that movie and thought that was a cool name. Had this name since 1998

 

[Zentetha]

I learned Xhosa it is the official languages of South Africa and Zimbabwe. One of my old quotes was "they say" so i just use the quote into the language and came out with Zentetha

 

[tyler]

its my name

 

[Autobot]

I mostly named myself Autobot because of the fact that before naming myself, I had just watched a Transformers movie which was really really good.

Okay so when I first played Among us for ever ago I went “I need a silly name since I won’t play this game for that long.” Yet the name Mr. Toaster honestly was a lot better name then my old user name. And one game had Mr. Toaster already it became Mr.ToasterOven.

Lol I worked for united airlines for a while as a flight operations agent.

My name was born out of pure frustration when making a league of legends account... a long... long time ago. It's simply stuck ever since.

 

[Reg Not Gi....]

Cant say lol

 

[Scarox93]

Depression: The orgin of my name came from when I had some issues with my life in general. I had thoughts about killing myself and end my life once and for all. One day I met someone who got me out of that state and it was in a game of surf in counter strike (pG server) I think I was using another in-game name and he basically made my day and made me feel better about myself. He told me that there is a lot to live for. It is just one bad day or a week or a month. don't waste your whole life for just an event that was suppose to happen in your life. You will get over it for a whole week he has been trying to make feel good about myself and it worked. Hence I am using this name to make people talk about their feelings and about depression so i can do what my friend on that surf server did to me and make their day and make them laugh and be weird and creepy.

Long story. I know and this is why I like my name.

Dude what that's an awesome story and there's actually a point to your name. I love it.

 

[Scarox93]

AIght my turn. In 2012 when I created my Minecraft acct, I hadn't really ever needed a serious username for anything. I had a bunch of other usernames I used for like... LEGO minigames such as like RockStar75 but nothing identifiable. At the time of my Minecraft account's creation, Hero Factory Brain Attack was my fix at the time and my favourite figure was the evil scarabic creature Scarox. The name was already taken. Obviously, the solution at the time, as someone under the age of 14, was just to add numbers that looked cool. Scarox93 was born. I have used that username for basically everything else since. My Xbox is Scarox94... I don't remember why. The only thing that I don't use that username for is my Spotify and my TikTok (Which I deleted btw) which both use my real name: "DavidN!"

Everybody calls me Scar. Except for that one weirdo that calls me Ox93 just to be contrary. Ironically, Scar is the opposite of the type of name that one would expect to go with me/my personality. I am usually super positive, welcoming, and happy.
Finally, a little note, I considered changing the username multiple times or even just removing the 93 from my Steam username but it's just so identifiable at this point that it'd be too much paperwork.
My Minecraft alt is named Evermoar because at the time (3 years ago) I liked the song Moar Ghosts N Stuff by Deadmou5 and the song Evermore by Dan Stevens. Plus it's just a wicked awesome username.

Pictured here is the Scarox figure from Hero Factory. Also, it can be noted that my username is unique enough that if you google my name, the only results are actually me. That's pretty awesome.

 

[Pockets]

I got my name while partaking in smoke sessions with friends. Specifically, when a friend needed the lighter, everyone would search their pockets for it. Albeit, the lighter was ALWAYS in my pocket. So, my friends dubbed me "Pockets."

Care to explain your forum name?

 

[Pockets]

Care to explain your forum name?

So, my forum name should be getting changed to Pockets soon. However, the current forum name, Star of Death, came from when I was younger. When I was younger, I was watching Star Wars & discovered the Death Star. The name fascinated my young depressed brain. Therefore, low and behold, I named myself Star of Death.

I was very young when I first found Edge Gamers. I discovered their server on DoDS and then on CS:S. I enjoyed the servers and community, so I hopped on and made an account on the website. Long story short, I have also had the name Riot, which originated from stealing an old counter-strike YouTuber's name. I also had the alias Italy because, quite frankly, I have no idea. I also went by ClickClickBoom in honor of Saliva - Click Click Boom. There are so much more names; I apparently had an identity crisis when I was younger. I changed my name A LOT. However, the name Pockets is here to stay forever.
