What's the meaning of your gamertag /v/ ?

It's an obscure one-word reference to a popular TV show that is never taken by anyone else.

>>383668978
Combined the names of my favorite Capcom characters when I was a teenager

literally chose a random 1 word name (Plague) as a placeholder on steam and haven't gotten rid of it 5 years later. its kinda stupid desu but at this point its become an identity.

Mine tend to be inside jokes between friends.

First and last name of my Guild Wars character mashed together
Alternative one is the result of randoming a wikipedia page

Two religious references in a name no one suspects.

My IGN is one of the rejected names of the Tunnel Snakes because in the end I am a reject for playing Fallout 3

In my grand display of a lack of imagination, I've only ever used 3 handles my entire life, and my current one is mash together of my old AIM screename (wh40k related), and my cosplay.com account name(DnD reference).

My very first one was based on a Simpsons joke, then a joke between me and my best friend, now it's made to sound like a cheesy late night shock jock's name. It's alright.

I named mine after my waifu :3

It's a masturbation joke. I regret it so fucking much, faggots can't resist pointing out the obvious joke.

An obscure reference to Scrooge McDuck comics from my childhood. The good thing is that it's never taken, the bad thing is that I'm the only one with it and if you google it the first results are all my profiles on sites that I'm on.

It's a name I've had for 18 or 19 years. At this point it's so ingrained into me that I've answered to it in real life and can't imagine using a different one.

Worm because villains tend to call you that and I'll use any cheap tactics necessary to, eh heh, worm my way to the top.
Also I think earthworms are qt.

Originally it was just some random shit, Peter the Great. My name isn't Peter, so I don't even fucking know how that happened. My current name in games is one of the following; final boss of one of my favorite games, or something involving werebears if the final boss name is taken. I have a few other fallback names, but generally speaking, I get the final boss name most of the time.

I absolutely REFUSE to use XxX, underscores, and numbers in my names, and none of my fallback names have that shit. It's a name, not some ID tag for a disease research facility.

I just use Ben Dover because im unimaginative

I used to avatarfag on /x/ back in like 2010, around the time I was creating a new internet identity for myself. In my circlejerk I was a bit of a comic relief, and someone once said I have an "effect" on everyone else.
Fortunately, the character's name I used means "time" in a different language so I can always offer the alternate poncy definition that my name means "time effect" which is also pretty cool.

was playing halo 3 and thought of a less autistic username than the one I currently had, based it on the map and the gamemode

Anything that is a single time use pay to change username is a play on my initials/reference to an old youtuber which i took for myself because it plays better

Unless that game is League,as ive exhausted almost every good JJBA name then moved onto exhausting alot of Kamen Rider names on a specific server. Most were botting bans, some were toxicity bans and all were permanent and arent gonna come off the accounts for another 3/4 years.

Im talking like 50 perfect usernames ive pretty much stolen and locked, ive got 14 right now that are active but still low level because the grind is fucking unbearable.

2 years after I got this nickname, it was used as the name of a villain in a movie, which was annoying

It's a single word that's meant to represent my appreciation for european culture (as opposed to a weeb name I used before) and my dominating feminine side..

I always use names of lesser known corporations and companies.
If somebody tries to look me up they get flooded with irrelevant search results.

Stupid weeb

Back when I used to play XBox Live in college, me and my group of friends all changed our gamertags to match. We'd have an adjective starting with 'M', then our name. MustyChris, for example. I've stuck with my one ever since out of habit, it gets the job done.
