Gamertags and other usernames you hate

[Laser Priest]

Leetspeak, abuse of the letter X and alternating between capitalized and non-capitalized letters seems to be the quickest way to make a stupid username that is also unpleasant to look at.

 

[Varis]

Especially annoying it is to privately message (as in MMORPGS and such) someone who has had some sort of an explosion of "overcreativity" and come up with xXxsup4hk33ll4h666xxx or something, since you'll have to write the whole damn thing yourself...

 

[MasterMasamune]

If someone's username has more than three numbers at the end, it's either somewhere in the 2000s or is long enough to pass for part of a serial number.

In addition, any name that contains the following:
'Blood', 'Blud', 'Bluud', or anything similar
'Gurl', 'Grrrl', or anything similar
'Dark'
An abundance of X's
Any number of underscores
'Zero'

 

[idarkphoenixi]

You mention the overuse of 'X' but there are so many other tags and letters that get overused to hell.
Such as - iTz(iNsErT StUpId NaMe HeRe)
- iScOpEzzz

Come to think of it, for a while during my time on Xbox live using 'i' became more popular than X. It's been a while though so maybe X has made a comeback.

Spoiler

- I'm aware of the irony of also having i's in my name so don't bother pointing that out.

 

[Koshok]

I can't stand it when I come across someone who uses a name straight from an anime or video game. I can't count the number of N4ruto's and Seph3r0th's there are in the world.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

xXxSm0k3w33D4L1F3420Xxx. How original!

 

[Aprilgold]

I hate how using `Dude` is a-ok in but using `Girl` is a mortal SIN.

And the OnEsThAtArElIkEtHiS, it makes my eyes go sideways. I gave myself a headache just typing that.

Am I the only person who uses dude like surfers do, as in EVERYONE is a dude as in your buddy.

-----------------------------------------

ANYONE WHO SPELLS THEIR USERNAME WRONG EVER! So XxXi8pronzXxX counts same with Durken-Dude72. Granted, Aprilgold actually came from a mispelling, I was born in April you see and I always thought that the most rainbows came in April thus referencing "The Gold at the end of the rainbow" and as such I went with April Gold. At least I tried, then I found out that the places I wanted to use the username on did not allow spaces, not realizing this until I input it. Thus why my username is 'Aprilgold' on many places.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

xXx1337sn1p3rzh34d5ho7b17chxXx Or anything along that line.

Of course, my username wasn't really praised for it's originality when I thought it up at the tender age of 13, hence the number, but it's stuck with me ever since.

Don't know why I even made it neon sword. Maybe the Scott Pilgrim movie had some sort of influence.

 

[Dangit2019]

Dangit2019 has to be the dumbest one I've heard in a while. I mean, I'm willing to bet that whoever came up with that was like 11 when he made it up. What a dumbass.

 

[Instant K4rma]

Just... Uhh, just ignore the 4 that is sitting in for an "A" in my username for the time.

Personally, I don't like usernames that have "Azn" in them somewhere. I find it pointless and really quite absurd.

The Xx_____xX names irritate me.

Anything with the numbers 69 or 420. Cmon. Sorry for sounding elitist, but seriously, grow up.

 

[Wintermoot]

in nearly ever MMORPG you are bound to run into people with stuff like
xXxSpehiroth_is_my_bishiexXx
and every FPS with
1337teh0n31337
people who use those names should be permabanned

 

[darlarosa]

Anything that you can't say out loud convincingly is a terrible username. How are you supposed to feel any character and personality coming from a person named *xxxh4rdc0r3Kn0bl1ck3rxxx* or some bullshit?

Can we make that a rule?

If you can't pronounce it don't use it?

 

[Shocksplicer]

Every single Person on my friends list has one of these names...
Perhaps "Friends" list isn't the right term...

 

[Da Orky Man]

And now I'm feeling all smug when looking through this thread, and seeing that none apply to my username.

 

[theheroofaction]

If I had to pick one, I'd say this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view] has a pretty horrid one.

That or the ones that directly reference a game, especially when it's not the game I'm playing.

 

[Darren716]

I'll compile a quick list of everything I hate on a gamertag
Using 69
Overusing leet speak
MLG
Pornographic descriptions
420
xx name xx
Using a game in your name
Swag in any way shape or form
I think that about covers it

 

[Alternative]

XxAlternativexX
i mean what a cock
i hear he has homosexual tendencys and that his mother has slept with everyone on xboxlive.

 

[Fasckira]

Pretty much all of the above with the addition of retarded clan tags, when people get stupidly creative with ascii art;

.:~=[CRUW]=~:.D34tHSTRYK3rr!!1

 

[Autumnflame]

420, weed,

pretty much any thing to do with pot culture.

no one cares that you like to get stoned. well i dont anyway

Eh, I seem to be the only one that doesn't mind "crests" right off the bat. The preferred name I go by online is a simple 4 letter word. Know how often it is available? Never. Always taken by someone. Even on small-time forums and such. So I gotta use I or l depending on which looks more like a straight bar (they conveniently look identical in this font). I used to use the title Lord to differentiate, but everyone in Minecraft took up calling me Lord instead of the actual name. So I've stopped that. Least with ll_NameGoesHere_ll 99% of people aren't retarded enough to pronounce the crest. That said, there are times it's used poorly, like in conjunction with leet. Hell, leet in general is bad for names.

But I didn't need to do any of that here. I got to use an emoticon for a name. Guess I'm hated by all the people who think unpronounceable names are bad.
