Basically what the title says.

Mine is PureEvil x21 because I used to be on a local Paintball team here in Iowa called Pure Evil. The 21 was the # on my jersey, and the x was added because, oddly enough, someone already had PureEvil21.

Your turn.

Also, it has come to my attention, since the making of this Epic thread, that there are in fact, 2 other Gamertag threads. Some of these people have reposted here, some have not. If you would like to read up on some of these other Gamertags, you can find them here:

Grenade Jumper is an awesome song by the band Fall Out Boy, before they sucked. I loved this song and decided to make it my gamertag. The 'x' and the '7' were because GrenadeJumper was taken =/

I think Freddy Krueger is the best fucking horror movie icon ever, and my gamertag is to pay my respect to him as he is the ONLY horror movie character to scare me as a child. The 1428 is Nancy's address: 1428 Elm. Street

Sean is my name... 22 just stuck somehow, i told Shockwave but i forgot now, TM stands for Toy Machine which is a skate company

Originally i wanted to be simply "TM22" but that was taken so i threw my name into the mix thus creating... SeanTM22

I've been using Irish or some variation on it since my SOCOM days on my old PS2 to express my pride in my Irish heritage. It started as DrunknIrishman and I later shortened it to just IRiSH. Added the OH, for Ohio, when I started my Live account.

I used to go by SirIsaac18. I took Isaac from the main character's name in the GBA game Golden Sun. I added the Sir because I liked it, and 18 was how old I was at the time.

But I wanted something different, and I couldn't think of anything interesting, so I ended up taking words and phrases and jumbling the letters. I finally settled on trying to jumble the letters in Reno, Nevada, my home town, and ended up with Oren Naveda.

First of all you need to know that I love to skateboard. I've been at it since I was about 14 years old. Whenever AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) first came out I registered and needed a user name. The only name I wanted to use at the time was 'iskateboard.'

Unfortunately I couldn't use the name because it had already been taken by someone else. After thinking about using a completely different name, I decided to switch the letters around in 'iskateboard' to get 'istakebroad.' This name stuck and I've used it ever since.

Looking back, I'm happy that I have such an awkward tag or username. Whenever I set up an account anywhere, I'm guaranteed that no one is using that name.

My gamertag? It's my name....real name.. yes. I said the heck with it when I couldn't migrate my original gamertag, which was Arionel (I'm Arionel everywhere else on forums) from my original Xbox Live account. And I couldn't think of anything else original, I was too frustrated.
