The most common player name in games

[lord gandhi]

After reaching a high score on an old arcade machine and rushing the initials 'A.A.A.' into the machine, it came to my attention. I have never used a name besides that.
Anyone else got other names they regularly use in games?

 

[SharPhoe]

It depends entirely on the game I'm playing. I always used P.J.J. for my high scores in Starfox 64, S.P.F. for fighting games, Z.L.G. for shooters, J.D.V. for skating games and K.A.Y. for racing games.

 

[Stevato]

It's always been Stevato or Steve-o for me, a lack of imagination perhaps?

I always liked Sir Noobalot though, i saw that name used regulary on CS:S

 

[TheBluesader]

Swears. Or compounds of the most disgusting bodily functions I can imagine.

You should have seen my Civilization Revolutions map. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT swim in those rivers!

 

[fengo]

my real name, SharkmanWTF or Fengo

 

[Neurotoxin]

The most common names that I see involve the words 1337, shadow,ninja,sniper,pwn, and usually contains multiple X es before in the middle and after the name

 

[NeoDeath90]

Well if I'm able to put a full name, I normally use my last name. Nowadays I use my username, mainly because it's unique. Other than that I use my initials.

 

[Count_de_Monet]

Killer or Killer+[Insert word]
1337/1337+[word]
I don't know, for some reason people choose a name with numbers after it in CS even though you don't have to register a tag... I think people name themselves Kevin153 in other games because Xbox won't let them just be Kevin.

I go by SuX2bU and I've only ever seen one imitator and he was literally an imitator because he played at a server I was on all the time.

 

[Lord S. Binkleheimer]

In MMO's is depends on the race/class combo.

Or various popculture references.

Take my pally Macgyveer in WoW as an example. He isn't the first toon I named with a variation of MacGyver, but he is the last.

 

[KamachoMcSagget]

I always put my name down as KamachoMcSagget, or type the letter F until I hit the character limit

 

[Andalusa]

This (Ula) or Andalusa or if I'm playing a dude, Pier. Long story.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Xx1337xSn1p3RxX or some variant.

Let us break down the name in parts, shall we?

Xx usually means the main name has been taken in some form. Already a bad sign for the name's originality.

1337. These people usually are not 1337.

x. NowXyouXneedXtoXgoXputtingXlettersXbetweenX,XwhichXisXjustXsad.

Sn1p3r. Not only was Sniper, Sn1per, and Snip3r taken in the exact same position for letters, but now you had to substitute numbers into your name twice. Again, a bad sign.

xX. Put at the end to make it symmetrical. Which makes it cooler?

EDIT: As for myself, prefer Geohound Ryudo or Onyx Oblivion of some sort. So, either the main character of Grandia 2, the most underrated RPG series ever, or Onyx (which I think sounds really cool) and my favorite game of all time, bar none (I sunk 2500+ hours of my life into that game).

 

[Maj.JakeVitaminwater]

A.S.S.

Or something to do with naruto or 666 (those nerds)

 

[vamp rocks]

i use vamp rocks in everything... i dunno i came up with it when i was 7 and i have just stuck with it... i think its original... lol because it is never taken... lol

 

[DM.]

A.S.S.

P.O.O

 

[Rassan]

Something related to halo, sniping, owning, noob, or L337 sp33k.
I tend to use Birds in names like Chaoshawk, Da NightRaven (The retarded batman) RoflHawk and NoobEagle

 

[Pimppeter2]

Player 1

I put PAK for my initials

 

[Hexadecimal16]

The most common names that I see involve the words 1337, shadow,ninja,sniper,pwn, and usually contains multiple X es before in the middle and after the name

Pretty much sums up every name on XBL. I've seen a few making an allusion to intercourse with 'your mom', and several containing some drug reference ending with 420.

Only creative drug-related name I've ever seen is etherbunny. At least it's somewhat clever.

I use either Hexadecimal16 or Ford Prefect pretty much everywhere. Usually the former since Ford Prefect is often taken.

 

[Minimike3636]

Are we talking NPC or usernames (i.e. Xbox 360 gamertags)...?

For NPCs, I wouldn't say there's a consistently used name, but anything beginning with a title such as Doctor ... or Mister ... seems common. There's like five doctors in the Half-Life series alone lol.

For gamertags/usernames, I see far too many people with Xx[insert name here]xX. I don't think 1337 is as popular. They're both bad, though. But congrats to Onyx Oblivion, Neurotoxin, and notoriouslynx (some other guys who commented here) for using an X in an acceptable manner.
