    Mine is White DuctTape, and before any on says it, no I am not racist, but I thought of my GT by being on FaceBook when I saw my friend liked the Duct Tape page, so I was like "When I get microsoft points I will so change my name to that", then the time came to make it, I was going to go with Dr. DuctTape but that was taken, then I thought of PurpleDuctTape but that was taken, then I came up with White DuctTape because I thought my friend was going to do Black DuctTape, but turned out he didn't so yeah there you people go!

    Mines been Xunnn for as long as Ive had an online 360 account. I used to have several other screen names Id use for various games before I got a Live account, those being Demon, Demonized, Moebius, ChimZ, DrChimZ, DrMoebiusChimZ, but I didnt want or couldnt use any of those for my Live account.

    Shortly before I got a Live account though, I saw someones license plate number that began with XUN, so I started using that. When I wanted to use it for my Live account though, some butthole had already used it or it was too short, so I came up with Xunnn. Its me poking fun at my own name, which is Benn. But for everything else I just use Xun.

    The origin of my gamertag is rather simple. It is The Mighty Dino. Dino is my nickname given to me by one of my best friends, because apparently I look like The Flintstone's pet dinosaur. And 'The Mighty' part of my name is made up for the reason that I am The Mighty Dino. Simple as that. I am the one and only Mighty. Lol. Ok, I don't mean to be cocky, but the other reason for that is because it just sounds good together.

    My gamertag was originally Itz the King but I wasn't really happy with it. Then I got into the phase where I started saying random **** like I liek turtlez and taco. I wanted to change my gamertag to "Taco" but it was taken so I thought I would change my gamertag to A Legit Taco which was also taken, so I put small x's in between. (LIKE A BAWSS)

    It used to be REDnBLUE (favorite colors) but everyone thought I was just a walking PR campaign for Red vs Blue. Changed it to A Vandal after that, but then me and my friends during our freshmen year of high school started a clan called CFH(seriously, even I don't know what it stands for). So then after changing it to CFH Vandal, found no real purpose to change it since. 4 years later, still rocking it :).

    Well, I play pool, and the Eightball is basically the odd ball out, which makes it different and I like being different.

    It's also the only symmetrical number from 1-10 if you dont count 0 as a number? I don't know.

    My gamertag came to me from a friend. Basically when I first got xbox live, I had my friend set it up for me. At the time, I was really into the Halo series and "Elite" came out of that. We also would go on a lot of bike rides so thats where "Biker" came from. And the "20" was just a random number.

    Unfortunately, i don't have enough MS points to change my GT. If i did, i would change it to "FlagInYoFace"

    This is because i got an Extermination in CTF once by melee-ing the entire enemy team with a flag. :)

    My gamertag throughout the "Halo" series has changed so much! I coundnt find something that represented me and that was original. Until I thought of actually me... my last name is TipqiT so i tryed that and it was taken:/ my last name being a palindrome(word spelled the same forward and backwards) I thought of a way of making it a visual palindrome hence forth "TipqiT" Ive had it ever since:D

    Before I was introduced to live, I focused mainly on achievements and halo armor. those were the good old days and had so much fun searching for skulls and other stuff (especially glitches) off of youtube. after a while, i noticed that all of those achievements had given me something of great value...

    The one and only security helmet...

    My GT came from a combination of the names of my 3 favorite female Resident Evil characters Jill, Ada, & Rebecca. Originally, though, I made up Jaidabecca as a new user-name for GameFAQs.com after my 1st account was banned.

    I just thought to myself, "What's a good gamertag, what's something that describes me?"
    And then it came to me, and I was all like "holy crap!, It's me!"

    And that was it.

    Anyone remember SW: Republic Commando? Books or games?
    Well, Scorch originated from there. He also wears yellow and black, and was a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything. I was a lot younger when I chose it, but it stuck, so now I'm Scorch. Originally I was Scorch199, but I wanted to get rid of the numbers and I became accustomed to some friends saying "Hey, it's that Scorch guy!" when I got online, so...yeah.

    I started playing halo in college and at the time I was the only guy on my floor who was pre-med in hopes of becoming a doctor. Everybody used to joke and call me Dr. Dean. I started using it as my name when we would system link up in the dorms so when I killed somebody it said "you were killed by Dr. Dean." Everybody thought it was pretty funny. Once I got Live I found out you can't use symbols or periods. DrDean and Dr Dean were already taken so I went with Dean PHD since I am working towards my PHD now instead of becoming a medical doctor.

    Used to lifeguard as well, we called them stride dives, definitely a pain in the ass haha. My tag is dm3 phoenix, nothing special there, I just relate the constant death and spawning in video games to the whole phoenix bird myth.

    A better story is my buddies gamer tag, it is Invested N17, he accidentally hit the A button for one of Microsoft's bogus suggested names hehe. He was pretty choked!

    Jace Taran was originally a name I made up for a sort of Star Wars role playing site called Rebel Squadrons. Basically, you would create a rebel pilot character, and play Star Wars PC flight sims like X-Wing and Tie Fighter. You would rank up in your squadron depending on how well you did in the games. Anyway, I pretty much kept the name as my Internet persona since then.

    My gamertag is SeraphCorrupt

    It has some religious undertones to it. lol Now then...

    Seraph (Seraphim being the plural form) is a rank (choir) of angel. (There are 9 ranks of angel if I am not mistaken) Seraph is the highest rank. They are said to have 6 red wings and six red eyes. I always thought that would look awesome.

    Corrupt.. well I just needed a word that sounded good to go with Seraph lol

    But yea.. that is what my gamertag comes from :D
