My favorite director is Cameron Crowe and my favorite book is Fletch Won, so I just combined them to get crowewon and 15 years later I am still using it.

My name is bruderrichie because my sister calls me bruder, I call her seastar, and we call our other brother brohan. Just little nicknames we have for each other, and it seemed fitting for a psn name

Once upon a time in the salt mine that is League of Legends, my friends convinced me to play and make a full team. I started with nothing so I went with a random free-to-play champion. That champ was Karthus. Karthus is a mage that has a thing for death and getting gg easy pentakills. When I popped into a custom match and started to do some learning at a friend's place and started to play him a bit thought he was pretty fun, but then my friend directed me towards the ultimate ability(a global damage-dealer to all of the enemy team)."This magical basturd can kill the entire enemy team" was my reaction. I then made an account named it Magical Basturd and over the course of 3 years I played a lot of League (still playing casually today just no where near as much). Weak or strong I played all the Karthus I could in all roles. In season 4 I even decided to challenge myself and exclusively play Karthus in the jungle. I reached plat 4 that season. After that I just changed all my names to MagicalBasturd and wanted to make a YouTube channel entirely dedicated to Karthus, but decided it would be to much of a niche.

Growing up all my mates called me Sarch, which is a shortened version of my surname IRL. The 360 bit, well when I bought the Xbox360 I just added the 360 part to the end of Sarch. The tag stuck despite now having and XBox 1 and PS4. I keep the tag name for everything to do with NoDo and GTA. Just easier!!

My usual nickname is actually Vee. It came about during my secondary school years wherein I was having a conversation with my buddies as you do and when we moved on to the topic of names I simply stated "I hate mine". Long story short, "Vee" was selected as a shortened version of the phonetic spelling of "V8" because I was a prominent petrolhead and when asked would cite the '70 Challenger as my favorite automobile. The name stuck and from that point forward anyone who knew me referred to me as "Vee".
The reason my Social Club and forum names are doubled up is because "Vee" "VeeEight" and "Vee8" were all taken on R* SC. I created a Twitch account under the same name after signing up here to sub to Broughles.

Ender is a nickname. I looked it up via its etymology (fyi, it's Turkish, meaning "very rare") before Minecraft came out with the Enderman and before I realized the existence of Ender's Game.
At the time I was fascinated with the Doomsday Clock, and I liked the idea of the "End of Midnight;" midnight being the time where the world destroys itself with its own technology (ex. nuclear warheads), and the end of midnight being post-self-destruction.
Combine the two and there you go.

Well, I used to play airsoft and I was asked by my friends what my callsign was. I decided on Magz, because gun magazines, and at the time I played alot of FPS games. I've gone through many names but have always come back to this.

In 1998 I used to stay on in an IRC channel and just talk nonsense with people, some other guy there and I kept having the same nicks due to our similar names, so we drew straws and I lost, so I had to change my nick, we talked about it and came up with netrex, so I'm the king of the web, FYI. I took that title, as kings tend to do (I guess). Have had it since, and I'm not changing!

During the good old early teenager years, when I used to actively spend time at IRC whilst playing the brand spanking new game 'Runescape', my nickname was my actual IRL shortened name with added dashes and dots (since the plain name was always taken). After a while I got frustrated in adding all the different modifications to the name, so I decided to go with a new one. After few temporary ones - which often ended up being taken - I wanted a permanent nickname that would (or should) not be taken anywhere. During that time a Finnish band called Smak (Swedish for taste or flavour) was topping our charts and I decided that it was a stupid enough name to follow. Taking my name off a juice concentrate jug, I eventually went with Askorbiinihappo (ascorbic acid). That name just was too long for few games, so I decided to take the end off - and here we are, Askorbiini was born.
'Askorbiini' being my primary online presence everywhere I go, I also used to use Asko R. (or Asko Räyhä - 'Räyhä' being old Finnish for Fury) as a 'secondary' name for more roleplaying purposes. Nowadays I have also started to use Xander Askorbiini as a secondary 'artist name', as it also plays with my actual first name and is a bit easier for my non-finnish friends to use.

Same as Daleks (@darkalex45) here. My name is Paul and I needed a char name when i was about 12y old. So i took smth that came in my mind real quick. After a few years I didn't really like it but it became my identity and until now I used it almost everywhere

When I played games before GTAV, I was very much into Graffiti art, which I had inspiration from an artist called 'Pariz One'. Since that wasn't my type anymore, I wanted something nice looking. Then I liked the car brands in GTA, and I saw Declasse, fell in love and pressed a D behind it and thought, hmm not bad, I say do it! Since then I liked it

oh, I need to do one for my current name! Thanks p4uliii So Daleks came from SATCC when endersai was calling out people and instead of saying the stupid and long name darkalex, he said daleks in the first and second race. I then changed my name on the forums. I then changed it on steam and my friends liked the new name a lot more than the old one so I kept it because I also liked it a lot and I love names with inside jokes/stories. Thanks endersai EDIT: Oh and doctor who daleks are also cool, even though I never really watched a full episode of doctor who.

Played a RPG-game on the PS2 and wanted to try out the lizzard-shaman (kinda like the the argonians from elder scrolls) as it was a new race/class, but already used my usual nick (Brutus, as I repeatedly slaughtered my Dad in Halo) for another char, plus it wasn't fitting. So I made up this one. Wanted it to start with "Ski" and end with "lus", mumbled some syllables in between and that was pretty much it. Years later when I wanted to make a yt-account, "Brutus" of course was already taken, so I came back to this one. At least it is unique. Also I enjoy people trying to pronounce it. >:-D I might be evil.

i'm called theshrike43, because i wanted the name of a savage bird in my GT, but i forgot the fact that not many people know what a shrike is (its the bird in my profile picture btw). and 43 is just my favourite number.
