    I have a story kind of thing.

    I was in 6th grade two years ago, and I play piano/keyboard/whatever you wanna call it. A couple of my friends and I thought it might be cool if we could write a couple songs and see how life was as musicians. Yea, that whole composing thing didn't go all too well, but we decided at least we needed a name. We had a singer, a bassist, a rhythm, two lead guitarists, a drummer, and a keyboard player (woot woot) in the band at the time. (We really didn't need all those people but, its fun to dream) If you count those up, it makes 7. We all took turn trying to decide what the name could be. Satisfaction was a good one, for example. I thought about it for a bit durring science class one day, and arrived on a pretty good name; Element 7. Nobody else liked the name all that much, but I didn't care.
    We kinda dropped the band thing after that summer, but my idea stuck. I was playing.... umm.... the Halo demo on the computer. I needed a gamer name, so I immediately thought of Element7. I needed to jazz that up a bit, so there you go. Ellemennt75 was what I came up with!

    Sorry for the long winded story, just thought someone might enjoy it.

    Well, Fox is my last name, and I think the color Black is cool. Unfortunately, on Live, many people think that the Black in my name means race, and then the call me really racist things. If only they knew how pale and white I actually am. I'm sorry that Live is so racist. It's really stupid.

    Well mine is Boom Boom STAR.
    I was playing Halo CE on the PC and my name was always boom boom. I got that name because EVERY THING IN HALO GOES BOOM BOOM. But unfortunately when I Halo 2 pc and got xbox live boom boom was already taken. So I wrote down many different names that started with boom boom some included Boom Boom King, Boom Boom Man, Boom Boom Boom.(I didn't use any numbers because I thought it showed unoriginality & because I thought it was N00BISH) Also when I was coming up with the names my mom was watching Dancing With The Stars. And I was like OMG I want to be a Star. Then I made my name Boom Boom STAR (STAR is all caps becuase I wanted to EMPHASIZE that I was a STAR at Halo). Well thats my story.


    Boom Boom STAR has left the building

    Mine VonWenck was an old family name that my friends would just call me accasionally instead of my first name as a joke and when i sighned up for live i just wanted somthing simple and it was the first thing that came to mind

    (only problem is its a german name and many people say it like vonwreck cause the n & r look alike when you glance at it so it gets annoying sometimes

    My gamertag (skittlemeister0) was done in a bet that i lost, and the other choice was Srgnt Sprinkles (that was already taken anyway as was Skittlemeister, so I added a 0).

    The stalker part was when I was playing halo 2 with my friend on beaver creek and I kept following him up the side hill things and killed him. I just added Neon to make it sound better.

    Admiral Alpha was the name of a fictional Forerunner duck creature I created for an RPG forum a while ago. Admiral was his rank , and Alpha because he was the first of seven prototype counter-Flood life worms. With a decentralized nervous system, he was genetically engineered to combat the Parasite, and survive the Halo effect.


    See how weird I am?

    I just wanted a sort of urban feel to my name, so I came up with Metroshell. Metro from the word 'metropolis' and a friend of mine on WoW had a character named Metro. And then there's shell, a.k.a. bullet (sorta). The show Ghost in the Shell (or w/e its called) gave me the word, too.

    And there ya go,
    Metroshell :)

    Mine's pretty simple. My last name is Norlin and last year my teacher called me Norlinsky for some random reason, so I chose the name for my gamertag and pretty much everything else online. The zTo is my clan's name which stands for Zero Tolerance
