I had a few names in mind for my gamertag, but unfortunately, they were already all taken. So, I ended up going through about fifty pages of suggested gamertags, and I came across "CostlyAxis." I didn't think it was that bad of gamertag name, and went with it. To this day, I still can't think of a better name nor a reason to spend ten dollars to change it either.

Not a big story behind mine. When I was on my original Xbox, I had always used the name Bounty Hunter, don't remember if there was any real reason why. When I tried creating a Gamertag I couldn't find any version of Bounty Hunter that I liked, i.e. That didn't contain obscene amounts of 1337 speak.
So, I tried to come up with something new and, being a computer programmer, this is what I came up with.
null

1. without value, effect, consequence, or significance.
pa⋅ram⋅e⋅ter
[puh-ram-i-ter]

3. Computers. a variable that must be given a specific value during the execution of a program or of a procedure within a program.

Mine is ironic - it comes from my severe lack of math skills. Denominator sounds intimidating enough, and the 22 comes from it being my favourite number. Which, coincidentally is my birthday (although this is not the reason it's my favourite number).
Morphine
12-13-2008, 02:47 PM
Morphine has been my handle for sometime and although I do share my name with a popular pain killer, which is derived from the greek god Morpheus. It's actually a homage to a 1989 indie rock/jazz band and I've carried the name since their conception.
For anyone who knows my MSN, the numbers 7399 are reflective of the date 7-3-99 when the lead singer died on stage of a heart attack.
Oddly enough he had written a song with the lyrics
"On 6-6-66 I was little I didn't know shit
and on 7-7-77 eleven years later still don't know any better
by 8-8-88 it's way too late for me to change
and by 9-9-99 I hope I'm sittin' on the back porch drinkin' red wine singin' Oh French Fries with Pepper!"
And 'Timeless161' is the size and model name of my ride snowboard. Even though I rarely board anymore, I was really into it during my teen years.

Mighty Midgit
12-16-2008, 02:07 PM
Mighty Midgit... Hmmm, Where to start. It's a LONG story.
Backstory:
Ok, in middle school (who knows how long ago that was) my friends, Kyle and John, and I were into real life role playing. We would use sticks and those pointed wood markers found at construction sites as swords and whatnot. We would look around the woods in the back of our neighborhood for good locations to play.
Well, one location we found was very nice with a hill, woods, field, and blackberry bushes, and we decided to set up a base with scrap wood and pallets from nearby home construction sites (there has never been a year that a house was not being built, even since then).
Midget?
Well, out of my friends I was the shortest by at least 4 inches. As we were hauling wood through the woods, my 2 friends were teaming up to haul the heavier pallets up the hill and were having a hard time with it. They were having me carry all the smaller things up because I was the "smallest". They were getting winded pretty fast and the last pallet was wet and so was at least twice as heavy.
Mighty?
They tried carrying it and has to stop a lot even before getting to the hil. About half way to the hill I told them to set it down and get something smaller. I then picked it up, swung it over my back and hauled it the rest of the way and up the hill then contunued helping them with the smaller wood pieces. We build the bases and I was the only one who never took a break. (as we got older we used the area for some epic paintball fights)
Birth of Mighty Midgit!
Kyle said I was like a superhuman midget. John, who loved making small stick figure comics at school, made a comic with me being the main character. In the comics I was called Mighty Midget, but John, having about as bad of spelling as I did, spelt it Midg(I)t in stead of Midget.
The name sticks even till now and I've been out of school for 2 years.
The 7 at the end of my gamertag replacing the "T" was due to a Xbox live mishap where I lost my original profile. I changed the T to 1337 and there is my gamertag.

RebornYeti
02-26-2009, 01:09 AM
Well, my first ever gamertag was NewbornYeti. It was just a random name that I got from XBL because I couldn't think of my own. I thought it was pretty funny and it just stuck.
Anyway, I went through several name changes and eventually I wanted my gamertag back to Newbornyeti. Well, I tried to change it back, and it didn't work and it said the name was already taken, so I thought it would be cool to have my gamertag be RebornYeti, since I'm sort of "reborn".
But recently I found out that the unused names have been reset, and now it is possible to reuse old accounts that have had name changes in the past. So, I think I am going to change it back to NewbornYeti lol.

This could be broken into two parts I suppose.
[DeathDriver]
I got this from a series of games that date as far back as the Dreamcast system that SEGA created in the late 90's. A particular game that was on it went by the name of 'Tokyo Xtreme Racer'. It consisted of illegal street racing on the highways of Toyko Japan at night, and gave a whole new look into the street racing genre of games. In this game you compete againts over 40 rival teams, each comprised of members with profiles, personalites, and specific skill levels. I had a favorite and his name was Death Driver. He drove a pitch black Nissan Silvia Spec-R and had a simple yet sinister profile: A driver that fears nothing, not even death, who remains apart from everyone else...
[86]
This is much more simpler to explain. It's the year of my birth, spawning, creation, whatever you'd like to call it. Cha-ching Bada-bing.
That pretty much sums it all up. Sorry there's no elaborate back story, but it is what it is.

I used to be Th Kn1ght because I loved knights and was fascinated with the Middle Ages. Then, after awhile, a few of my British friends *cough* boydy and driscoll *cough* started calling me Kn1ghtBoy. At first I found the name obnoxious but then it slowly grew on me. So I got 800 points and changed it to Kn1ghtBoy.

Well, when I first got my xbox I connected it to xbox live but I didn't make an online account. I started playing this racing game and my dad soon joined in. He got really good and was soon better then me. This was what I was waiting for, though. I didn't want to waste my money so I got him addicted to a video game and I let him think I sucked. He wanted to play on Xbox live, against more "experienced" players, so I told him to go to Best Buy and buy a 12 month gold membership card. He went and bought one, came home, and hurrily began to make an account. His Aunt lives in San Diego (California) and owns an Italian resturant called the "Blue Parrot." He couldn't think of a good name so he dicided to use that as a name. He was entering in the name so fast that he accidently put in Blue Pariot instead of Blue Parrot. He didn't realize this untill after he had made the account. He started to play online but a few days later he got tired of losing and stopped playing. I kept the account but I don't want to waste $10 on a new name. I'd rather buy an arcad egame then change my name. Plus, I like to hear what people say when they first see my name. Some say Blue Patriot, Blue Pirate, or, rarely, they say Blue Parrot.

Ok.
So, I've had my gamertag ever since I joined Xbox Live, and I've never changed it. I remember way back then, I was into Myspace, and my myspace url was chronosspark. I wanted that to be my XBL gamertag, but it didnt fit. So I thought of Time Spark. That sounded dumb, so I was thinking of other cool words instead of Spark. I thought "Glitch" sounded cool, so I tried "Glitch in Time". That didnt work either, so I just shortened it to Time Glitch.
It's stuck with me ever since, and I've never seen another name like it =).

Mine acctually has nothing to do with being sick.
My came from the early days of Halo 1. I used to just use my name as a character but I got tired of so and so was killed by [classified]. So me and my friends were sitting at burger king talk about new character names and things it would be funny to kill or to be seen killed by. We came up with a whole variety of things like: a dinosaur, the flu, dog crap (which my friend eventually used), Spongebob, a vehicle, a naked man (you killed a naked man). Then later in Halo 2 right when the 360 first came out most of or clan added SBG to the end or names.

When I was six years old I was a big Star Wars fan so, I wanted to join the official fan club. I thought I had to make my username Star Wars related so... I named it "Jedi Eli" and the name has stuck since then. Plus, it has a nice ring to it. But... a bunch of noobs on Xbox Live think my name is pronounced "OMG ROFLROFLROFL its Jedeeeee Eleeee W00t W00t!" I have learned to live with people pronouncing my name wrong and people not knowing Star Wars now because it happens a lot.

Mine was simple. I wanted something dealing with the Red Sox because I am a die hard Sox fan, and also because I knew it'll never be changed. I wanted either Red Sox or Boston in the title with my favorite number, 45. Too many variations were there, so I thought about bos (the initials when shown during games), then 45 (since bosredsox looks kinda dumb, i had to split it up somehow) and then redsox. To this day, I still think it is a bad ass name that suits me well haha Too bad I get a lot of smack talk during matchmaking....

So it started as redsox45 because I love the Red Sox, and my favorite number is 45, and also my favorite player wears number 45. I saw it looked silly just redsox45 or 45redsox so I added bos which stands for Boston in case nobody knew lol. So now it's bos45redsox. Plus, a good nickname is bos and its quick and easy to say in matches.

Itj101 -- My dad had all these usernames that consisted of his initals and 101. I thought that 101 was really cool and didnt really know what it meant. I couldnt think of a username so I thought "Hey! Why dont I just put ---101?" But my initials were actually Ipt... I thought, "Damn.. Ipt101 sounds like some mentally deficient guy made it up without thinking." Then another day, I heard of Jr. and thought it sounded really cool too! So then I replaced my middle name "Phong" and placed Jr as the ending initial. So, Itj101 was born.
Few years later I found out I actually was a "Junior", just with my foreign name...
Vietazn101 -- I wanted to make a new GT and couldnt think of anything. I thought "Hey! What about Vietnam?" Then I thought "Asia!" because I actually am Vietnamese and Vietnam is located in Asia. So then I thought Viet was cool and then I thought of the retarded acronym for Asian, Azn!!! I wanted also to stick with the 101 thing and Voila! Vietazn101 was born!

A LONG LONG Time ago, I played RuneScape. I wanted just Zachary, but it was taken. So the first alternative choice they offered me was Zachary9990. I took it and have used it on everything from emails to every site to this day. Except for this one. I wanted something better.

Well, I take latin. So I'll just through out right now that my name is partly Latin. Most of you probably know that when God, supposedly (not even supposedly because it's just absurd), created the universe in seven days he created light along the way. He specifically said, "Let there be light" which in the Latin is "Fiat Lux" well, Fiat Lux is great and all, but it isn't good for a name so i put and or at the end.
The other story behind this is that both my brother and I are artists, and he had this as his personal quote of inspiration, and then as the little brother I decided I'd totally steal it from him. Now it's unique because without light, we couldn't see, and if we couldn't see, we wouldn't be able to behold the beauty of the world. Which in it's own way is a masterpiece of beauty, and light is the paint that makes it up.

Mine is pretty easy I guess. I had been using Hadokenchild for a while on forums and such. The reason it isn't correctly spelled Hadouken was due to my first forum have a character restriction for names, so I had to drop the u to make it fit. It basically refers to Street Fighter as being the origins of my gaming addiction. While I've been gaming since the later years of the Atari 2600, Street Fighter II was THE game that I could drop quarter after quarter into and then go home and play it on my SNES for hours.

Scorched Fire 2

Scorched Fire: I was on a camping trip totally not playing in the great outdoors and playing with my 360 on Xbox Live (Thank you Satellites...) Then my grandfather told me to get off my lazy ass and lets go hiking, I wasn't discouraged by his Mexican profanity so we went climbing up on to mammoth mountain (Mammoth Mountain actually exists it sits in California). When we were half way their he show me a trick with the certain wood that was there. He got two twigs of a tree they were the same size and same species of tree. He lite them both on fire, threw them both on the ground at the same place and I saw a fire in a fire. Then I said,"What the fuck is this supposed to do?" Then he said "It's Scorched Fire." "You didn't see the fire in fire?"
2: 2 is my lucky number in life...

^^ and there were to logs, two colors, two fires
Well mine is fairly obvious. I got my xbox day it came out. Went home and was thinking of names. Canadian was too bland so I was going with Canadian 360 for the first xbox :p feel. About to submit when my brother comes in and whines he's going to use it too (still rarely does) Before he could do a thing I add an s on the end accidenaly delete the space and hit start. That's why it's plural. All good though since shortened canadians sounds better than Canadian. And avoids things like Canadian is Conadian. I like it. It grew on me.

Well, I was into this show on Comedy Central called "Kenny vs. Spenny" when it first aired. In one of the episodes, they see who can live the longest with a goat tied to their leg. One of those goats' names was Pelgore, and I liked the name. Thus, PELGORE was born!
So yes, I'm essentially a goat that spends it's days shitting on everything. Let the name-calling commence.
Evilution202

Evilution202 comes from this. In seventh grade (3 yrs ago) my science teacher was discussing evolution but slipped up once and said evilution instead. The reason it is 202 is because 101 is my old account before it was hacked so I just went to 202. Originally I wanted no numbers but it was taken.
Prodigious came from a random word website, lol. and i thought it fitted quite well because it means massive or large... ;). The 7k comes from failing to be just Prodigious and 7k sounds cool. :)

My GT's backstory?
At first, my gamertag was CMO1414 (pretty gay, eh?) which was my initials (Christian Michael Olivier, a little spoiler there). I chose it because my old non-XBL GT was Chris12, and I coildn't have it because I accidentally took my brother's account.
Most people knew me as CMO1414--that's where I met Fire Phoenix117, Obibital, and Some Randm hobo. Then, I thought, "Hey, I don't want my gamertag to be gay like this", so I changed it to xXolivier441.
Then, when I got more friends in school and added them to my friend list, I noticed that some people's GTs would have their initials first, then an "x", then the last word would be like this: LeGiT or UnCeNsEd.
When my account was lost, XBox Customer Support gave me an account that was my other friend's account and I changed it, and became CO x PaLaDiN.
CO (My first & last name)
x (Standing for someone experienced)
PaLaDiN (A soldier who fights or polices for a religious cause)

When I used to play warcraft 3, I was in a map making clan for the game. Pretty damn good at it if I may say so. A guy named mtg22 made a map called Xylom Footmen Wars, if never went mainstream map, but 4 months later when I was trying to think of a gamertag, I remembered that cool sounding, and short name. I knew it was my gamertag. I was also considering using Zypher, which was my old warcraft 3 name, which was Zephyr before that, but I didn't like how that sounded.
Darkastic
08-05-2009, 08:24 PM
I can be pretty dark, and sarcastic when the right person decides to be a troll or just a dick to me, so that's how I got Darkastic. I'm not like that all the time, only when someone pushes my buttons. It's just a side of me that I'm not proud of, and plus I just like the sound of Darkastic.
Originally my GT was Devitar Volicon, which used to be Devicon Volatar. Devicon is a word I made up when I was 12 back in the day, I saw a truck driving by and it said Levicon, which I guess is some kind of company. And Volatar is a local band here, which makes some pretty strange music. So i put the two together. But that was my old name, now its Darkastic.
...Apparently no one could pronounce Devitar Volicon over Xbl, so I changed it.

Totally random. I bet there's a back story, but even I don't know it.
Well there's two names that I go by on the interweb. Each has it's own backstory:
For several years I've been known as Shadowsth and that name originated from a game called Asheron's Call. This was an MMORPG that was released years before World of Warcraft came out (1999), however I didn't start playing Asheron's Call until 2001. My sister was also playing this game and together we played as "Silversth" and "Shadowsth" respectfully. Killing creatures, collecting phat lewt, and saving virtual characters from being slaughtered, killed, or totured in inhumane ways. Several months later my sister stopped playing and I soon followed when I got my Xbox. Since then I've been using this name across several boards and games with most notably being Halo 2 and 3.
In 2008 I decided that Shadowsth was not a great description of who I am now. Back then I was a 15 year old kid, now I'm in my early 20's. So instead of thinking about what would be a good alter ego, I decided to just go with my own name, Timothy. While I still post under Shadowsth on the IGN boards and Forgehub, Timothy will be the name I'm sticking with here on Xforgery, Xbox live, real life, and any future communties I might join in the future. Using my own name also states that unlike some kids who hide behind a name such as COOLPROMASTER6969 (example), I would just rather be myself on the internet. I'm not afraid to reveal my true name and the "Timmy" comments that follow. :p
Gone are the childish immature days of interweb surfing. However I'll still be playing games until I'm 70 and buy Halo stuff because I'm gay for anything that has "Halo" on the box. Yeah I'm a sucker for this franchise. Damn you Microsoft! ;P

My user name would be Stonato. In the far off days of middle school there was halo 2. With halo came, kids. Wherever kids located there was halo 2, wherever Halo 2 was there were kids. After killing each other countless time on ascension and Lockout we began to make an ungodly amount of monikers to associate our kills with. It started with the ever popular your mom. You were killed by your mom. Haha. Then it evolved into such classics as your mom on drugs and this horny mama. After awhile we became ever so clever in making names. Long ones, dirty ones, funny ones and ones that tried to be serious and just made us laugh at the the fat nerd. Ahhh Dragonrider7 I bet your still out there on Live riding dragons. Eventually I wound up with shifty the squirrel which devolved into shitty the squrriel. When I got an xbox 360 it was my first of many profiles that i played on until i got live. By this time I had found names to be repetitive and went for something Simple and foreign the italian word for stoned crazy, Stonato.
