Mine is Spring Panda.
I picked it because, one day when my friend got a 360 he was just thinking about what to make his gamertag (since apparently he was short of ideas).
So I just started talking about "Winter Panda" and that it was some fabled creature and blah blah blah.
So he made his gamertag Winter Panda.
My gamertag at that time was chaser121, but I changed it to Spring Panda to "fit in" haha.

I wanted to be "irishstormtrooper", but PSN only allows 16 characters, so I just went with Stormtrooper414.

Voltzila (my PSN id)
was a big fan of godzilla, still am, so I just added my last name to the first part of his name.
Blood77 ( my name for most of my forum accounts)
Most people think that it has something to do with jesus, blood= blood of christ, 77= number of tims you are suspposed to forgive some one. That isn't true, I randomly came up with this name while trying to make one for diablo 2, and continue to use it never seems to already be used on most boards.
Skittles (my nick name for Super Smash Brothers tournaments)
I was dubbed this by another player, blackenese. He called me that due to the fact that I always were tye dye shirts. Otherwise my tag is just my last name, volts.

OnyxOblivion007
Note that the gamertag was my first time calling myself Onyx Oblivion anywhere. The Escapist and any others followed it. Now my username is usually Onyx Oblivion. With the only notable and currently used exception being GameFAQs, where I'm "Geohound_Ryudo", which is from Grandia 2.
Let's break it down into individual parts:
Onyx - It's a pretty cool black gemstone.
Oblivion - My favorite game ever. Let's make that painfully obvious to the entire world.
007 - I fucked up creating an XBL account and my gamerscore didn't transfer to the new one, so I tried again and added something on the end. I'm not actually a Bond fan, having only seen 2 movies. Both were Brosnan films.

Orannis was the villain (read: destruction given form) of the latter two books of the Abhorsen trilogy.
My GT is part of my name =/ boring as fek but I'm thinkin of changing it to my tag on here but can't bring myself to waste money that could be spent on broken steel or something IRL.
I was playing Oblivion before I got LIVE. I themed my high elf as some kind of long-lost ice elf, so I made his name Glacor FrostFire. I wanted a unigue gamertag, so I picked Glacor. The FrostFire was stupid, so I picked king. Hence I am King Glacor (GLAY-KORE).
Griever18, because it's awesome.
SOLBDGUY, Because he's awesome.
Leon S. Kennedy, because one of my friends use to call himself Chris Redfield, and we always got into arguements over which character was better.

My XBL names is K bronx 52. If you pronounce it in spanish, its an typical harsh insult. (Dont use it deliberately though ;D). The 52? um... i guess their were 51 kbronxs before me or something, which to this day still baffles me.
