Origin of your gamertag

[rusty eagle]

This thread is for people to explain the stories or experiences behind the making of their gamertag.

Mine is rusty eagle. Unfortunately someone already used rusty eagle, so I use a capital I in L's place.

I worked at a summer camp and was trained as a lifeguard. While there we learned three different lifeguard entires. The purpose of these entries was to keep your head above water so that you can keep an eye on your victim. Well the most painful of these entries was the rusty eagle. It was a kind of bellyflop with a mix of waving your arms like a bird, hilarious to watch. They called me the eagle because my arms are longer in wingspan than I am tall.

P.S. look up the meaning of rusty eagle on urban dictionary (It has nothing to do with my gamertag).

Well that's the meaning of my gamertag, what's yours?

[Shock Theta]

When I started playing online shooters, I played under the name of <<shock>> , the symbols being the 'shockwave' around it. I think I started back with Doom 2, then on Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Halo CE amongst others. When it came to Halo 2 I couldn't have the GT 'Shock' because it was taken, so I opted for Shock Theta because I had a few profiles on Halo 2 with different colours and Shock Theta had the same colour as <<shock>> in Halo CE.

And I've played as Shock Theta ever since!

[Dragoncoals]

Dragon + Coals = Epic win


Oh, and rusty, sorry for setting you on fire yesterdays ^.^

[Esponeo]

I started out using the name ShmidleyWitz for most things, such as AIM, email, game accounts. This soon shortened to Shmidley for game accounts. I used to use Shmidley for my original Xbox Live account but I canceled that, and thus unfortunately could no longer use that name when I wanted to make a new account with my 360, so I used the name Esponeo.

As for the names themselves... ShmidleyWitz was some gibberish uttered while under the influence of Mountain Dew when I was very young. Esponeo is a character name I use for RPGs. I've never been one for D&D or any of that.. but the character Esponeo still has quite a back story.

[Orangeremi]

[color=orange]I couldnt quite think of a username for yahoo, So i used its help function and it asked me my favorite color (Orange) my favorite pets name (Remi) and my favorite place to be (Home) and when I searched, It came up with: HomeRemi, RemiOrange, OrangeHome, and OrangeRemi. I picked the last one because it seemed pretty cool, and I stuck with it from there on out..

[Fitzypatrick413]

Well, to tell the truth, my gamertag is original. :)
It's nothing you would see twice( i think ).
Fitzy- Which was my nick-name from school.
Fitzpatrick- is my real last name,
so therefore, I put them both together.
413- is my area code (Represent 8) )

Thats how my GT was created - Fitzypatrick413

[Lone Deity]

Well my old gamertag was really stupid, let's not get into that.

But on Gears, I was really intimidated by people with the number names. So I really made it to trick people into thinking I'm good. And as AZN knows, I can be a bit of a loner.

[EliteSniper177]

My gamertag is EliteSniper177 ( :o original i know) dont really remember how i came up with the name though, i played online before a few times, maybe i saw it there, but it hit me on the bus on my way home, originally it was suppose to be EliteSniper117, but that one was taken already, as was Elite Sniper, so i went with 177. Works for me :)

[Reap3r 13]

My squad mates called me the Grimm Reaper on Chromehounds because of my Ub3r 1337 Sn1p3s so I changed my name to Reap3r 13 and that's that.

[SPOC]

My gamertag is SPOC XLI

The SPOC came from a nickname I had growing up. They called me "spock" because my ears kinda stick out and are sorta pointy like caption spock from star trek. Plus I used to wear a COPS (like the t.v. show) tshirt and if you spell COPS backwards you get SPOC (bad boys, whatcha gonna do?)

The XLI part is simple, my favorite team is the Superbowl XLI champions.
