Usernames are so interesting, like it's just a name we can choose for ourselves instead of the names our parents gave us. I'm always curious on how people get their ign or screen names. Does anyone want to share their story on how they got their name?

I guess I'll start? It's pretty simple for me, I just took my first name and translated it into French. But for whatever game I was on at the time, someone else already took the name. So as I was thinking and eating vanilla ice cream, I was just like, "why not?" So I just tacked on Vanille at the end.  And then CeriseVanille became a thing.¯\_(✿• ͜  •)_/¯

My username came from forever ago on XFire and playing Star Wars Battlefront religiously, and I wanted to stop using my first name as my username as I thought it was lame. It kinda stuck on steam after I played a bunch of Left 4 Dead and having my avatar set as this:

Used to love a game called digdug that I'd play at arcades/pizza joints.
1 When the heavens above did not exist,
2 And earth beneath had not come into being —
3 There was Apsû, the first in order, their begetter,
4 And demiurge Tia-mat, who gave birth to them all;
5 They had mingled their waters together
6 Before meadow-land had coalesced and reed-bed was to he found —
7 When not one of the gods had been formed
8 Or had come into being, when no destinies had been decreed,
9 The gods were created within them:
10 Lah(mu and Lah(amu were formed and came into being.
11 While they grew and increased in stature
12 Anšar and Kišar, who excelled them, were created.
13 They prolonged their days, they multiplied their years.
14 Anu, their son, could rival his fathers.
15 Anu, the son, equalled Anšar,
16 And Anu begat Nudimmud, his own equal.
17 Nudimmud was the champion among his fathers:
18 Profoundly discerning, wise, of robust strength;
19 Very much stronger than his father's begetter, Anšar
20 He had no rival among the gods, his brothers.
21 The divine brothers came together,
22 Their clamour got loud, throwing Tia-mat into a turmoil.
23 They jarred the nerves of Tia-mat,
24 And by their dancing they spread alarm in Anduruna.
25 Apsû did not diminish their clamour,
26 And Tia-mat was silent when confronted with them.
27 Their conduct was displeasing to her,
28 Yet though their behaviour was not good, she wished to spare them.
29 Thereupon Apsû, the begetter of the great gods,
30 Called Mummu, his vizier, and addressed him,
31 "Vizier Mummu, who gratifies my pleasure,
32 Come, let us go to Tia-mat!"
33 They went and sat, facing Tia-mat,
34 As they conferred about the gods, their sons.
35 Apsû opened his mouth
36 And addressed Tia-mat
37 "Their behaviour has become displeasing to me
38 And I cannot rest in the day-time or sleep at night.
39 I will destroy and break up their way of life
40 That silence may reign and we may sleep."
41 When Tia-mat heard this
42 She raged and cried out to her spouse,
43 She cried in distress, fuming within herself,
44 She grieved over the (plotted) evil,
45 "How can we destroy what we have given birth to?
46 Though their behaviour causes distress, let us tighten discipline graciously."
47 Mummu spoke up with counsel for Apsû—
48 (As from) a rebellious vizier was the counsel of his Mummu—
49 "Destroy, my father, that lawless way of life,
50 That you may rest in the day-time and sleep by night!"
51 Apsû was pleased with him, his face beamed
52 Because he had plotted evil against the gods, his sons.
53 Mummu put his arms around Apsû's neck,
54 He sat on his knees kissing him.
55 What they plotted in their gathering
56 Was reported to the gods, their sons.
57 The gods heard it and were frantic.
58 They were overcome with silence and sat quietly.
59 Ea, who excels in knowledge, the skilled and learned,
60 Ea, who knows everything, perceived their tricks.
61 He fashioned it and made it to be all-embracing,
62 He executed it skilfully as supreme—his pure incantation.
63 He recited it and set it on the waters,
64 He poured sleep upon him as he was slumbering deeply.
65 He put Apsû to slumber as he poured out sleep,
66 And Mummu, the counsellor, was breathless with agitation.
67 He split (Apsû's) sinews, ripped off his crown,
68 Carried away his aura and put it on himself.
69 He bound Apsû and killed him;
70 Mummu he confined and handled roughly.
71 He set his dwelling upon Apsû,
72 And laid hold on Mummu, keeping the nose-rope in his hand.
73 After Ea had bound and slain his enemies,
74 Had achieved victory over his foes,
75 He rested quietly in his chamber,
76 He called it Apsû, whose shrines he appointed.
77 Then he founded his living-quarters within it,
78 And Ea and Damkina, his wife, sat in splendour.
79 In the chamber of the destinies, the room of the archetypes,
80 The wisest of the wise, the sage of the gods, Be-l was conceived.
81 In Apsû was Marduk born,
82 In pure Apsû was Marduk born.
83 Ea his father begat him,
84 Damkina his mother bore him.
85 He sucked the breasts of goddesses,
86 A nurse reared him and filled him with terror.
87 His figure was well developed, the glance of his eyes was dazzling,
88 His growth was manly, he was mighty from the beginning.
89 Anu, his father's begetter, saw him,
90 He exulted and smiled; his heart filled with joy.
91 Anu rendered him perfect: his divinity was remarkable,
92 And he became very lofty, excelling them in his attributes.
93 His members were incomprehensibly wonderful,
94 Incapable of being grasped with the mind, hard even to look on.
95 Four were his eyes, four his ears,
96 Flame shot forth as he moved his lips.
97 His four ears grew large,
93 And his eyes likewise took in everything.
99 His figure was lofty and superior in comparison with the gods,
100 His limbs were surpassing, his nature was superior.
101 'Mari-utu, Mari-utu,
102 The Son, the Sun-god, the Sun-god of the gods.'
103 He was clothed with the aura of the Ten Gods, so exalted was his strength,
104 The Fifty Dreads were loaded upon him.
105 Anu formed and gave birth to the four winds,
106 He delivered them to him, "My son, let them whirl!"
107 He formed dust and set a hurricane to drive it,
108 He made a wave to bring consternation on Tia-mat.
109 Tia-mat was confounded; day and night she was frantic.
110 The gods took no rest, they . . . . . . .
111 In their minds they plotted evil,
112 And addressed their mother Tia-mat,
113 "When Apsû, your spouse, was killed,
114 You did not go at his side, but sat quietly.
115 The four dreadful winds have been fashioned
116 To throw you into confusion, and we cannot sleep.
117 You gave no thought to Apsû, your spouse,
113 Nor to Mummu, who is a prisoner. Now you sit alone.
119 Henceforth you will be in frantic consternation!
120 And as for us, who cannot rest, you do not love us!
121 Consider our burden, our eyes are hollow.
122 Break the immovable yoke that we may sleep.
123 Make battle, avenge them!
124 [ . . ] . . . . reduce to nothingness!
125 Tia-mat heard, the speech pleased her,
126 (She said,) "Let us make demons, [as you] have advised."
127 The gods assembled within her.
128 They conceived [evil] against the gods their begetters.
129 They . . . . . and took the side of Tia-mat,
130 Fiercely plotting, unresting by night and day,
131 Lusting for battle, raging, storming,
132 They set up a host to bring about conflict.
133 Mother H(ubur, who forms everything,
134 Supplied irresistible weapons, and gave birth to giant serpents.
135 They had sharp teeth, they were merciless . . . .
136 With poison instead of blood she filled their bodies.
137 She clothed the fearful monsters with dread,
138 She loaded them with an aura and made them godlike.
139 (She said,) "Let their onlooker feebly perish,
140 May they constantly leap forward and never retire."
141 She created the Hydra, the Dragon, the Hairy Hero
142 The Great Demon, the Savage Dog, and the Scorpion-man,
143 Fierce demons, the Fish-man, and the Bull-man,
144 Carriers of merciless weapons, fearless in the face of battle.
145 Her commands were tremendous, not to be resisted.
146 Altogether she made eleven of that kind.
147 Among the gods, her sons, whom she constituted her host,
148 She exalted Qingu, and magnified him among them.
149 The leadership of the army, the direction of the host,
150 The bearing of weapons, campaigning, the mobilization of conflict,
151 The chief executive power of battle, supreme command,
152 She entrusted to him and set him on a throne,
153 "I have cast the spell for you and exalted you in the host of the gods,
154 I have delivered to you the rule of all the gods.
155 You are indeed exalted, my spouse, you are renowned,
156 Let your commands prevail over all the Anunnaki."
157 She gave him the Tablet of Destinies and fastened it to his breast,
158 (Saying) "Your order may not be changed; let the utterance of your mouth be firm."
159 After Qingu was elevated and had acquired the power of Anuship,
160 He decreed the destinies for the gods, her sons:
161 "May the utterance of your mouths subdue the fire-god,
162 May your poison by its accumulation put down aggression."

I was about 10 and had a dog on Minecraft called "DrBarkles" that hung around for a while and I wanted to make it my Xbox live name but never got round to it 

Anyway fast forward to December 2012 and the government is cutting out child support benefits for certain people which included my family, so my parents instead of spending the last year's on clothes and stuff gave it to me to save for something, I always wanted my own computer do I saved and bought my laptop... I can't remember what game I wanted but I needed steam for it... so I used debarkles... in about March of that year I joined FL and in August I wanted to become a member of the community and [FL:RP] DrBarkles didn't look great so I removed the Dr part. 

So yeah that's a very long post just for that eh.

Where do I start?

Well, first I was Mr.Snow because I liked snow and John Snow from Game of Thrones (Didn't know that Snow meant bastard until it was too late)

Then I changed it to Raptor because I started liking cars and I liked the Ford Raptor, so there you go.

Then these names came up for some weird reason - Nightfurty, Agent, Galactica, Veyron Kinda forgot the rest..

Then I came across the perfect name which is Rocket, has my favorite letter which is R and it is also a name of one of my favorite cars (A type of mustang) and I loved Fallout and everything about it. So there you go. I also have a deeper meaning to the name which I'm not gonna discuss here cause it might sound really lame. I can explain over PM or something if anyone wants.

Back in 1992 I had joined a strange online game called The Sierra Network or TSN. This was back in the days of DOS and dial-up, with long distance charges. You'd have to use your phone to dial in and play this game long distance.

It really wasn't so much a game, it was more of a access point to many other games, each within separate worlds. The Shadows of Yserbius was an RPG world where you explored a dungeon. Well, when I started it up, and I had to choose what I wanted to play. I chose the Knight. Then, the name. Well, Sir seemed fairly obvious to me, but it needed more.

Thinking hard, I noticed a picture of a wolf. Well alright, I'll just use that. Except instead of SirWolf, I'd use my German heritage and change Wolf to Wulf.

And those, SirWulf was born. Since then I stuck with the name for recognition. I tend to use it for everything.

January 28th, 2013: I register on Steam with the username of "Colerocks999" (not shown above).

My name is Cole, and that was the name of my first email I made when I was like, 6, so... Yeah, it stuck around for a while.

I believe around late 2013 early 2014, I changed my name to TheEliteGamer, as I thought that was easier to remember and less stupid.

Two Variations of this name are used.

Late 2014 Early 2015 I changed to Brax. Me and my friends came up with Brax, because the name "TheEliteGamer" overstayed it's welcome and was pretty stupid. We literally went around the table and each person said a letter. First thing we came up with was like, XAHGX. Next was BRAX. I liked Brax, so I stuck with it.

I've undergone various profile images, and clan tags, either made in SFM or Photoshop.

  1. Colerocks999
  2. TheEliteGamer
  3. TheEliteGλmer
  4. Elite
  5. Brax
I intend to keep this name for at least a few years.

By the way, while looking through my Dropbox for images of my usernames, found this bit of nostalgia. August 3rd, 2015. Day 4 of LimeLight, Rickets, Rolorox, and a few others were holding like a press conference thing on Raptor's TS.
