Where does your Xbox gamertag come from?
So where does your Xbox live gamertag come from? Is it an old nickname, a song/movie/tv/videogame refrence, or just something that you thought of on the spot?
Mine, Doctor West, comes from the film Re-Animator. For those who are into horror and have never seen that film, do yourself a favor and check it out. It has zombies, dead cats and Jeffrey Combs who is like Bruce Campbell in his cult status.
Oh and we already know that TNAJason's gamertag doesn't mean what you think it means!

Oh wait we're talking about gamertags. It's the name of the building I used to live in and the apartment number.

Mine comes from an old Web site I had years ago. I was still doing a little with the Web site when I first signed up for Live and used the name and kept it.

Well it was AVW31. My initials plus Reggie Miller's number. Then I changed it to Mopower31 when I started playing with you guys so it was recognizable. But kept the 31 because Reggie Miller can kick all your asses on and OFF the court!

My gamertag is from 'Wallace and Gromit'. I started using Gromit for Quakeworld in '95 or so and just stuck with it. At the time, no one knew who Gromit was other than Brits.

Mine is just a nickname I was given years ago because of my fascination with Japanese Animation, samurai, and swords...and the 317 is my 2 lucky numbers, as well as my grandfather's b-day. He was the shit.

Mine comes from a shortened version of my real name and WhoGirl's real name, and then putting the word "and" between them. I was going to make a different one (based around the word Sand, which is my usual gamer name), but WhoGirl wanted one that represented both of us for when she plays on live which, to date, has been exactly never.
