    Used to go by Cyland, which is based on my country of origin plus my favorite X-man. Mutanteggs came up back when I started playing Sven-Coop a few years back. I had to make another email and I just threw two words together. Mutant from X-men, eggs because back then eggs didn't make me puke and I actually liked them. Never really changed it. I still go by Cyland on some sites, I kind of like the ring to it.

    Geiz.dt - Been using Geiz since Team Fortress during my Half Life days, back in the 90's. I then joined a clan (Dodge This! - Hence the .dt) they were a large part of my growing up as a teen/adult, so I kept the tag.

    Funny story about my name. I inherited an Xbox live account from a buddy of mine during the original XBOX days, with the name of Ender1212121 or something like that. Around that time I thought that was a dumbass name, but shortly after inheriting it, i read the ender's game series. After that, I really enjoyed the name, and thought of it as much less 4edgy5me. Then since ender is normally taken and I like minimalism, I just put o's in front of it because o's are less mainstream than x's. I'm weird like that. I've tried a few other names. Recently Banana Jones (I LIEK BANAN), and IgnusVulc (That one came about because I like those words. Really no other reason.)

    My old GT was Light My Pyre and I got it from an okay mission on GTA VCS.

    One day, it got old.

    I wanted to change it to "Righteousness" just to out-Jesus everyone on XBL but some black missionary guy already got it.

    I also wanted to keep Light since most people called me "Pyre" (I hated that alias to death) so I decided to combine "Light" and "Righteousness".

    Sure, it was a waste of 800 Microsoft points.

    GT : Lighteousness

    Edit : I know this thread is about usernames, not GTs.

    I already posted my username's reasoning way back so I threw my GT's.

    Don't judge me.

    I used to obsessively play a game called Falcon 4 Allied Force. On some of the forums I visited, Falcon was referred to as Falcrack for its addictive properties. Hence my screen name.

    For games, I mostly use either that name or more commonly Pathogenic for my screen name, since I do HIV/Immunology research and thought it was a cool sounding name which was related to the work I do.

    [HiFi] was the first clan I joined in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and I believe at the time I just put whatever class I was playing after that. From that point on I've pretty much used HiFi as the basis of any of my usernames - I just find the aesthetics of the name to be really pleasing.

    One friend on mine showed me that game called lineage 2 and from there i got kinda interested a lot in this kind of games (elder scrolls, titan quest and so on) and at that time lord of the rings movies were comming out too. Boredom at school led me to search a bit about it ( since there was no flash on my pc so i couldn't play any games or watch videos while every other pc had god damn flash, my luck >.< ) and then i found out about tolkien and a wiki about the characters in his book, one of them was Orome and I kinda liked his personality of a lone wolf huntsman I guess, at least that is what i got from what i read even though I didn't read that much about it.
    So yeah, since then even though I was thinking about something more original I haven't come up with anything good, my friends know me as Orome for a while now so there is one more reason to not change it.

    By the way if you have heard about that retarded kid on lineage 2 Revolt server/Forums called Orome that would probably be me.

    Do I even have to explain?

    It took a while before I ended up with it though, as far as I can remember, my first ever adapted nickname was SkulpingNipple (you can actually still find it using google :p). I used the GameSpy name generator and it came up with SkulKingNipple (I'm not kidding, it actually generated that), but for some vague reason I ended up using SkulpingNipple :p

    To make things worse, most game started to censor my name (eg. by renaming you to something random). So soon after Call of Duty 2 came out, I kind of shifted towards names with Lennard in it (LennardF[NL], LennardF-Online, etcetera).

    At some point I had to register a domain-name and I kind of stuck with LennardF1989, which, for those who still don't get it, comes from my real name (Lennard Fonteijn) and year of birth (1989).

    Whenever I play games that require me to come up with multiple names (eg. MMORPG's) I use names that start with Lenn, like Lennian, Lennion, Lennior.
