So in this topic, we discuss how we came up with our PSN IDs. Simple enough.
SooperSonic08
Mine comes from my favorite pro basketball team, the Seattle SuperSonics. Actually, they're pretty much my favorite sports team, period. My dad got me following them when I was starting elementary school during the glory days of the 90's, and since then I've been to more games that I can count.

The Spleen originated from my days of playing Rainbow Six: Ravenshield online with a bunch of friends, I would always take body shots and somehow the name stuck. Not to mention there is the character played by Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) in Mystery Men. The Spleen, he is amazingly flatulent. Oddly enough...so am I.

SkaReKr0 stems from various things. In real life, im usually referred to as KR0.
Firstly, my favorite movie of all time is "the crow" (though all of the sequels suck my ***).
Secondly, My real name is Kyle R so KR0 = Kyle R. Nothing, which essentially thats all I am, in the end im nothing more than pollution to nature.
Thirdly, I scare a lot of people. I have facial piercings, jagged and rotting teeth (after math of meth.. stay away it from it, it will eat you alive), I wear all black at all times, my body is covered in scars due to self mutilation and im very ill tempered.
Lastly, I live in Kansas which is famous for the Wizard of Oz and there are occasions when I wish I had a brain.

Your one scary mofo. lol Congrats on dropping that pathetic habit though. If people only knew how hard that is to do. You have earned my respect bro.

I actually had to wing myself off of it by snorting no-doz.
I try to lead people away from it as often as possible, to be honest, I still love the feeling of it, but after going through an over dose (yes I did that much mixed with other forms of amphetamine) and going through a heart attack at the age of 17 I really had to quit and it is indeed a hard habit to kick. Ive done just about every drug there is to do (aside from shooting up) and Meth is the only thing I got addicted to.
At the time of this writing I really dont do any form of drug aside from the occasional XTC, but thats the only thing ill touch anymore and only if its a rare occasion.
I appreciate you saying that. I know youre just an anonymous face on the other side of a screen, but it does indeed mean something to me and the fact that your intelligent enough to know thats its an EXTREMELY BAD HABIT to get into gives me respect for you.

I am the lead singer in a band called "The Sickness" (I think we are good, and so does a small gathering of fans). The first song at our first gig was called "The Devils Child" which has some very disturbing lyrics to it. Our local paper said in it's review that i was the Lord of Sickness. That name stuck from that day forth.

MDN

MDN. Simple really, just my initials. Michael D Nardone. I think MDN just sounds really cool :p
Graham
September 22nd, 2007, 01:53 PM
Mine has a bit of meaning too.
RhesusVX
"Rhesus" stemmed from the blood-naming convention, which I picked because of the CELL processor and the fact that we have blood CELLs (hence my avatar).
VX is basically a short-hand name for one of the worlds most toxic nerve agents:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)
Just thought it looked cool on the end! :lol:
MrG
September 22nd, 2007, 02:02 PM
Nerdage... simple enough, really. I'm a nerd, fat, moderatly intelligent, hopelessly judgemental (though I rarely express it), poor social skills, I'm one of the few people in my school who took the harder science course and actually enjoys it - hence 'Nerd'. As for the 'age' bit, that came from the brief while I played Legend of Mir, people kept saying 'PWNAGE' and I found it amusing...
Funta
September 22nd, 2007, 02:20 PM
I made up the name Funta when i played Diablo II on battle.net a long time ago, and I've kept it for nearly everything since. Don't really think the name has any meaning but I still like it
Saigon
September 22nd, 2007, 02:26 PM
well...i needed a name change...I use to be gotti1914...or gotti...
when ever i signed in to a website game...and even psn account...gotti came form...of course the legendary gangsta...john gotti...i picked it because he was terifying to challenge...and people hated playing me in games because i would not go down easily...if they took me down...
the 1914 is from my fraternity Phi Beta Sigma which was founded in 1914...
so i changed my name...
kept thinking what could i do...i thought so much i did not create a psn account for a while...i listen to a lot of underground music or mixtapes...i hate mainstream...it is untainted by corporate bs...either way...i heard a mixtape by an artist Saigon...and the name stuck in my head...didn't know why...so i looked up the origins of the name...and i liked what i seen...Saigon has a lot of history...which is good...i like that...and the things they did in that time frame were drastic...relentless...and crazy...look at my avatar...i even chose a picture to represtent that...also will make this into a ps3 wall paper...
So i chose Saigon because of its relentless history...PSN as Saigon1914...hit me up...
TAGPriest
September 22nd, 2007, 02:27 PM

September 22nd, 2007, 04:06 PM
Evil_the_Cat is my favorite villan from one of my favorite videogames of all time. Earthworm Jim, shame on you if you didn't know that, they don't make games of that level of quality anymore...
Plus I have instant respect for all the people that recognise the origins of that name, every gamer should, at one stage of their lives, play EWJ.

Disturbed05
September 22nd, 2007, 10:50 PM
Ahhh some of the stories behind your psn names rock mine is boring and sad. I wanted disturbed because I've used it b4 online and I love the band but it was taken so I was thinking along the same lines and thought of Terrorizer thought it sounded and looked kool so thats my psn name.
Carl
September 22nd, 2007, 11:00 PM
Umm i dunno really. It was kind of random. My PS2 net play ID was mighty-slayer because i couldnt think of anything else to call myself.
When i got my PS3 i wanted to change my ID but not too much, hence i called myself amighty-slayer. Trying to give the impression im a good player. Which im not. Haha

imElite from a old game I use to play C&C:Ra2.
I know have a new PSN name, actually hav had it for awhile, oneHeero. I liked how Heero looked on a forum years ago, couldnt get that name, so added one in front of it, meh.
Behemoko
September 23rd, 2007, 12:09 AM
Behemoko.
Behemo is from Behemoth, as I am a big guy, and I added ko to the end, because I think it sounds cool to say.
For the record, this is from wikipedia.org:
Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity.
borninshadow
September 23rd, 2007, 12:16 AM
Well, I've used Born In Shadow for the last...uh, I dunno, but I tend to use it a lot >.>
I started using it for a roleplaying character I had who was seen as a bad omen, so he was always outcast (blah, blah, blah). I think that was...6 years ago? So yeah, I've been using it since then...mostly because I'm lazy and it's always fun to try to log onto some site and find out I already have an account with my name and password =P
Not safe, but meh, who hates me enough to hack me? ::knocks on some wood::
-Aaron, hopes the rain starts up again
P.S. - To that Scarecrow fellow, nice job kicking your addiction. I think I have an aunt who's addicted to the stuff...bad times.
BigDDDave
September 23rd, 2007, 12:34 AM
Well BigDDDave... it's probably because i like to see B-I-G. As for DDDave, some think it stands for Drug Dealer Dave or Don't D'mess With Dave, but all i can say is no guys... It just because BigDave looks plain too simple lol. BigDDave nah something is missing. BigDDDave? yeah perfect match!

Immortal_cries
September 23rd, 2007, 12:38 AM
Why not... I think it explains itself, but others mistake it for other junk. I originally wanted Azra'el (angel of death) becuase im facinated by the thought, obviously, and the idea of transition from here to another state. Oh, and aside from loving skeletons, I collect them (no no, not real ones. Lol).
I would have used it as my name, but I dont remember why I didnt. Ease since Immortal_cries is my name for most everything or maybe Azra'el was already taken. Either way, Immortal_cries is just my take on reincarnation (firm believer) and how life is misery, never-ending pain. I hate when people think im trying to call myself immortal, haha.

GRIPPER76 - I used to be a pro-wrestler for a living and one of my mates brought up the film 'Carry On Loving' where Bernard Bresslaw played a character called 'Gripper' who was a pro-wrestler. The nickname stuck and everyone I know calls me 'Grip', 'The-Grip' or 'Gripper'. 76 was the year I was born.

CORN-DOG-
September 23rd, 2007, 03:37 AM
CORN-DOG- = Several mixes of origin, really. No matter what I've always done, I've tried to outshine others usually leading to me "corndogging" and making an arse of myself. I'm also the world's worst joke teller often leading to the corniest jokes. And last, but not least, who doesn't love a good corn dog? (The "dashes" around DOG are to eliminate name duplication) Been going by this name since the birth of SOCOM.
Evil^Virus
September 23rd, 2007, 03:53 AM
Evil-Virus:
I took a couple random word that fitted my personality when i play online games...
Evil: I can be a pain in the but when i battle it out, Mostly if i been kilt i'm always seeking revenge multilple time. I make sure they regret wat they did to me :-D (doesnt always work)
Virus: Having the habit to kill lots off people with a melee in the back, I love sneak-kills. So this makes it like a real virus! Your dead before you no wats hitting you without escape.
I'm not a pro at games but i'm alway's on the top 3 in the end of a game. I play to win...

Well, I played EverQuest once upon a time and one day when bored with my main I made an alt and named him Jarllax, not really sure how it came to me, my name is Joe, so I started the name with a J and sorta just threw in some more letters till it looked like a decent role-playing name.

While there i was a frozen food buyer and no matter what season hot or cold i always could be seen with extra layers on working in the freezers. I was pretty much bigger and taller than mostly everyone there hence... Big Freezy the rest is a no brainer
So in this topic, we discuss how we came up with our PS
N IDs. Simple enough.
SooperSonic08
Mine comes from my favorite pro basketball team, the Seattle SuperSonics. Actually, they're pretty much my favorite sports team, period. My dad got me following them when I was starting elementary school during the glory days of the 90's, and since then I've been to more games that I can count.

toadayoda
September 23rd, 2007, 06:50 AM
Mine is toadayoda because my favorite Star Wars character is Yoda, toads are cool (not as cool as turtles though, but turtleyoda does not sound right compared to toadayoda), and the "a" makes toada and yoda rhyme, therefore making it sound cool!

I also hit up the name booga as one of my tags when i write. And i love to say oooga booga. My sister also used to call me boogaboy too, go figure.

my name starts with a "X" so ppl call me x-man or jus x. then the ecks vs severs movie came out and i thought that was a cool way to spell ecks/x. the mane part is jus a little slang for man.

Cator
September 24th, 2007, 01:53 PM
I came up with the Cator name when i first played Turok Rage Wars for the N64, omg how long ago was that? :o
Anyway, my real name is Catherine and I had a friend at the time who called me Cat, so to make the name Cat a tougher sounding I just thought Cator was better. Turns out this is an actual second name like Smith or something, so a lot of people now think that this is my second name - Catherine Cator :).
In Call of Duty 1 mp, CSS, World of Warcraft Shatar realm and Team fortress 2 beta look out for Cator, it will probably be me.
I use this name so much that I got a pair of Nike ID trainers with Cator written on them, hehe.
PS3JT
September 24th, 2007, 03:26 PM
A similar thread was definitely done a while ago, but many new members since.
Ok, my psn name, Joax23, is a pretty old name. The name Joax, pronounced Jokes, was a snowboard company name I came up with in an advertising design class I took years ago. It stands for my name (Joe) and at the time my girlfriends name, who is now my wife (Jackie or Jax). Joe and Jax, Joax. Since then I would always use Joax23 as usernames for things. The 23 being my age at the time.
Barnasaurus
September 24th, 2007, 04:56 PM
Barnasaurus - Had the nickname Barndog from close friends over the years which has died off a lot with the exception friends a few who won't let go of the name. I grew tired of the "dog" part of the name and needed to spice it up for my PSN name. Added a little dinosaur, so to speak, to it and came up with Barnasaurus.....one of a kind that's for sure.
quickshot56
September 24th, 2007, 05:35 PM
quickshot56
This is actually the very first online screen name that I ever used (and the main one I currently use). It came about because my aunt said that I had a "quick shot" in hockey, and my number was 56 at the time. Fairly straightforward and unexciting.
Oh yeah, I don't have many people on my PSN account, so if you want to add me, do it and send me a message! I have a bunch of different games, and I play online every so often.

Sct-I/On
September 24th, 2007, 06:32 PM
Didn't originally know sect is a real word in English :) In computing world everything is I/O, input and output. It's the same in real world, Yin/Yang, male/female.
On is one of my fave tracks of all time, by Aphex Twin/RDJ.
I/On could hence be a bipolar ion... lol.
Sect abbreviated to sct, so in PSN I'm sct-ion.
Uh and I was also born by caesarean section.

this is so my thread, mine is ADOX, because that's what the right side of the PS3 controller reads!
the 2525 is because someone took ADOX and i remember those numbers, also i was getting annoyed and forgot the caps so it's actually adox2525, which isn't as effective but a bit more cryptic.

I got mine(foolishoptimist) from a conversation I had years ago with a friend.
I was explaining that I was at heart an extreme optimist, which they totally didn't buy, pointing out my extremely cynical views on most things, and I automatically responded with "I guess I'm just a foolish optimist".
I kept thinking back to it, again and again, and realised that it was a perfect description for me.
plus it's soooo **** long, no one else on this planet is gonna have something that stupidly long. ;)

RayoNaranja = Rayo from Rayos del Necaxa which is my favorite professional Mexican soccer team, and Naranja means orange which is the color of the Houston Dynamo (my favorite MLS team).
Rayo naranja translates to orange thunderbolt or something along that line.

Strudel - My last name is Trudel, people at university are dumb as hell and decided my name was Strudel instead, and I think its kinda funny in a pathetic way.
Anyway its what everyone calls me in town/work/uni so I thought I'd use it on my PSN.
Plus its easy to remember, everyone loves apple strudel pie.

I got it from a sponsored paintball team that some friends and I started several years ago. We have since stopped playing for the time being, I'm currently busy in the fire academy. We plan on bringing the team back some time next year though.

Your one scary mofo. lol Congrats on dropping that pathetic habit though. If people only knew how hard that is to do. You have earned my respect bro.
It's awesome when people are able to kick that disgusting habit. I did it years ago and never looked back. Of course I am not as scary lookin as you, but it's all good anyway.
tolchr- When I was in college years ago for computers, our username was the first three letters of our last name and first name. For some reason, I just stuck with it from then on. There are variations like toker, but tolchr is never taken already.
