What did you name YOURSELF and why?
Swallox:
...I'm surprised I never saw this thread.
Well, my name is Swallow, 'cause I've always gone by weird names. I used to go by "D_K_Head", but being called 'DeeKay' all the time gets old... Plus the non-underscored version was taken when I tried to sign up to League EUWest, so I decided it was time for a change. I chose the name Swallow in part because at that point I could recite the entire opening to The Holy Grail off by heart, and because my real name is James Starling. Starling and Swallows are both songbirds.
Yes, I really did name myself after the bird. So stop giving me weird looks.
EDIT: Oh, and I added the Sama because Qwerty brainwashed me.

After a quick wikipedia: "When used to refer to oneself, -sama expresses extreme arrogance..." :P
The Churrosaur:
Being Japanese, this amuses me.
Anyways, the name "Churrosaur: the Mexican dinosaur" begins its journey in molten pits of a fourth grade schoolyard, with an incident involving a certain thermos of spaghetti that for a week abruptly transformed my name, Daichi, into Snotasaurus Rex. (Genus reptillia). My elementary diplomatic skills eventually managed to whittle the name down to the slightly meeker daichi-saurus, and it eventually become somewhat of a nickname between me and close friends until one day somebody said daichurrosaur and the name stuck. Eventually the "dai" fell off, and by the end of elementary school the name Churrosaur was forged and tempered. Quite a few years later, when I discovered tf2 and the gaming community at large, I wanted a name that was unique and personal yet not too crazy, and I found Churrosaur lurking in the corners of old grammer papers, and posters on the wall. I received a decent amount of complements on the name, and it was never taken, so it just became who i was. Sometimes there's a "the" sometimes its "Cieu Rosauria
S'bout it.
geggis:
My real name is Gregg. Some people used to say Gegg and sometimes people said Greggi or Geggi. When we had LAN parties my computer used to be called 'geggis computer'. And there's my screen handle right there.
AceAwesome:
For my whole internet life, I've lived by the name of AceAwesome96, and since there are no numbers here, I've decided on just being AceAwesome here. Not too interesting, but that's my username. It's a part of me, I guess.
