This thread is for sharing the background of where your Gamertag came from.

I will start it off by giving some info about mine.

When I was young I grew up on the original Star Wars films. My dad and I would always go see the newest Star Wars film in theatres(sometimes twice). I was always a fan of the Sith and other bad guy characters.

Thus I came up with Jedi Hunter.

P.S. I also had a couple of other Gamertags when I first joined live, but they all had to do with Star Wars.

I took Alex because my name is Alexander, I chose "thenice" because I thought that "nice" meant that you are awesome at videogames, because people allways told me I was "nice" when I got a lots of kills in republic commando and I chose to make different "sizes" because for some reason I thought it looked better that way.

I got the idea for my gtag a few years when me and a friend started doing an online strategy game like Desert Operations but it was set in Roman times (cant remember the name), when er were looking for usernames to use the name Germanicus came up (a roman general involved in the battle of Tutuberg forest (ignore my spelling)). I decided to keep the name since then but i added 1994 on the end which is my birth year

I chose Lambchop because back in the day of Halo CE I played with my older brother a lot. I had my name as my tag for Ce while my brothers had The Pope and Amato. I asked my oldest brother what he thought would be a good nameand he said Lambchop. the numbers came from my locker number in high school when I finally got Live.

Along with my brothers tags there friends, who came over often to have LAN parties, where Rubberducky, Shambauck, and Terzian.

DPS stands for Downed Pelican Studios started by a friend of mine (DPS Maverick) and his cousins (DPS Goose and DPS ICEMAN) back in Halo 3. They did a bunch of video capturing stuff, and the sort. (Watch the video I linked to the name above)

If you haven't figured it out from the above paragraph, shame on you. Our names all come from the (detestably) greatest movie of all time, Top Gun.

Lt. JG Marcus "Sundown" Williams, the token black guy of the movie, is my name. Sundown served as Maverick’s (Tom Cruise) Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) after Goose died.
(BTW, Goose always dies, haha)

I came up with my old name YodaMagicCircus in class one day for a quiz name.

I came up with Messiah Muffin one day when I decided I wanted a new gamertag.

They never meant anything really.

Gamertag: DEAD PSYCH0
GGL Team: Dead Panic
Well, I came up with the GT: DEAD PSYCH0 as a memorial to a best friend in a rather funny manner because the name came from a website that I don't remember the exact URL, but it was a website that if you typed in your name it would give you your "emo" name, so I typed my name which now I forget what popped up and my best friend's name was Dead Psycho so I took that when I was changing my gt and I've kept it since

My old gamertag (SGT Squirrel 64) came from nowhere really but my current one came from a group of friends who played a flying game and they called themselves 'The Atomic Hawks'. I liked the name and I replaced the end with an X for no particular reason.

My name is based off the name of the main character in a series of fantasy books by David Eddings that I read when I was 9 years old. I've been using the same online handle for over 15 years now, and it's unique enough that it's never taken. I encourage people to call me "Kal" for short, though, as it's much easier.

I've had 3 gamertags neo120590 (which is now my handle for all online communities I'm in. Also my birthday), then TFO Neo for a my first grifball team, then xl Neo xl (most of the people who were TFO... changed the TFO to xl's lol). The xl's mean absolutely nothing. Just filler. I've always been Neo because the matrix movies were my favorite growing up and are still on my top 10.
