What the origin of your PSN name ?

[le7Samurai]

It's a union of 2 of the greatest movies ever:

 

Seven Samurai 

 

 

and Le Samouraï

 

[Piramidoglowy]

The origin story of my user name is simple and easy to figure out. It's the name of Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 (second best SH, after SH3) in Polish, which is my first language. The word 'Piramidogłowy' is a common (and literal) translation used in Polish. The truth is that I'm 31 and this guy still scares the sh*t out of me every time I see him. Possibly it's the way he looks, the way he moves and what he represents (all those who palyed SH2 know what I'm talking about). Anyway, my user name sadly is not some sophisticated thing, but I like it anyway

I started playing WoW in 2004, well before the PS3, of course. My main was named Kevin (a testament to how early I got into it), but as I created alts in the many months to come the names had to reach quite a bit further beyond the obvious: Droog (russian for friend, also slang from A Clockwork Orange), Sagem (Sage was taken so I threw an 'M' at the end), Tacara (Japanese for Treasure), Waffen (german for Armed or something, I don't remember), and finally a Blood Elf Paladin named Siuilarun after a song I had just seen performed on PBS that I thought was very pretty.

 

When the time came for me to jump onto the PSN, "Kevin" was obviously no-go, so I chose the alt name that I liked the most, the late-comer, Siuilarun... It wasn't taken. That was about 6 or 7 years ago, and I've heard some interesting interpretations of it in voice chat, my favorite being when I was called "Salmarillion." Honorable mention goes to "Solarium."

[bart_brock]

Me and my brother were so stupid as too think we were supposed to put our first names in. We were pretty young though, so I have gotten use too it.

[Shinobi-Versus]

I was terrible at naming and still am. The word 'Crimson' sounded cool and I thought about Mars from Sailor Moon for some reason at the time and the rest was history. Been using that niickname ever since... Now I want a new one. >_>

[NAKlRA]

I thought about the name 'Nakira' but someone else already owns this name on PSN so i decided to cheat a bit and named it 'Naklra' with an little L instead of an i.

[GrimArts]

I'm really picky with names and my favourite name, Naeryn was already owned.. by someone with only one trophy in like six years.

So, I had to pick something else. GrimArts is part of my blog's name Grim Arts of Melancholy and it sounded ok-ish, I guess.

[StrickenBiged]

When I first got my XB360, I used the name "Biged", because my real name is Ed, and when I am being a know-it-all my family used to call me "Big Head".

 

When I eventually put the 360 online, I was informed that "Biged" was taken but was invited to invent a new, available username. One of the suggestions was StrickenBiged, which I thought had a nice ring to it.

 

I liked the name so was glad to see it was available on PSN when I made the move to PS for this generation.

[Lilseb93]

Little Sebastian 1993 (the year I was born)

 

Lilseb93

[TimelordKai]

If you couldn't already guess how I got my username is from Doctor Who. and Kai is my nickname online. 

 

So yeah, nothing special really lol. 

[katniss1444]

I used to be a big hunger games fan (still am, just not as much), so that's where katniss comes from. my favorite number was 14, but that was taken as was 144, so i went with 1444. 

[Wulfie]

WW2 German Wolf Packs

[Dahatox]

One day I was a big Prince of Persia fan, and in some PoP games the boss is called Dahaka. And it/he looks really awesome So when I was playing WoW with my friends I had to create my second character (the first was called "Dahakaman"), which was really hard because "Dahaka" was already taken. Since I wanted to make a warrior I decided to put a "tox" ending to my name, which reminded me a spartan hero from a movie. "Dahakatox" sounded bad, so I wrote "Dahatox" instead.

[XIII-Order-Xion]

I based my Name off my fav Character From A Show that I really enjoyed.

 

I tried the name Rainbow Dash but it was ~Gasp~ Taken.

 

I then tried Its Rainbow Dash and ~Double Gasp~ it too was taken.

 

So in a last ditch effort my hand tremmbling and heart racing I tried Lts_Rainbow_Dash because the L looks like an I on psn and behold!!

 

It worked

[acedragons]

My real nickname is Ace and dragons are just badass. So Acedragons it was.

[Vrisnem]

I wanted a simple name with no numbers, preferably 1-2 words.

 

Vrisnem means "scream" in several of the Slavic languages. Aesthetically, I think it's a very pretty word despite a less attractive definition; it has slight similarities to my legal name (that I stopped going by when I was 18); and it was just one word like I wanted. I was so pleased that the first name I tried was actually available to use without numbers.  I picked the word out from a line I loved in a song called Od mene se Odvikavaj by Milan Stanković.

[greenzsaber]

The Mega Man series is one of my favorite series, and I really like Zero, whose main weapon is the Z-Saber, which is colored green. Back then I played Mega Man Zero series a lot and had a lot of fun slicing up baddies with it. I decided I wanted to have Z-Saber in my name when I went to make a youtube account, but I thought Green_Z-Saber and GreenZ-Saber looked awkward so I left out the special characters. Looking back, I should've capped some letters and be GreenZSaber, but oh well, it is what it is.

[dmann]

Well, the first bit is from the name I use everywhere.

 

The second is my birthyear.

 

Simples...

[Magician_Alice]

My name is based on the character Alice from Touhou. Though I had to keep changing it until I got a name I can use.

[funboy1246]

one of my favorite movies is the crow, and my favorite villan in the movie is a character called funboy. so thats where it came from. i've used this back when aol was still huge and i was on aol messenger all the time. so its been with me for a years now.

[Burst]

I'm a huge dbz fan and one of my first games on ps3 was burst limit, my lucky number is 14 and the reason why i added the 'hot' part is because . . . i have no idea =/

[Piers Nivans]

I love Zombies and my name is Alexander this is how my PSN was made 

[ALIF82]

ALIF82= Ali, short for Alicia; F, first letter of my last name; 82, I was born in 1982

[Z1MZUM]

I was a Marilyn Manson fan, I already had a 360 and didn't take it too seriously at the time. Zim Zum was with the band for a bit,,,,,,,,,,,

[mokrinsky]

Pretty simple, it's my surname. At least I prefer this transliteration from cyrillic to latin symbols. However, in my foreign passport it's a bit different.
