I haven't seen a thread about this on CG, and couldn't find any with the search, so I figured I'd make it because I find this stuff interesting. Basically just post how you got your "Internet" name.
ReDrUmHD has two parts to it.
ReDrUm was from the movie "The Shining". I used to love the movie, and watched it a lot with my grandmother, who, lived with me and was like a second mother to me. At first it was there simply because I liked the movie. Eventually I changed it to something else for a while, but after my grandmother passed away I changed it back and keep it like that sort of as a memorial. The alternating capitalization was because when I made my Steam account and name back in 2007 I was 11 and autistic.
The "HD" part at the end of my name was actually made up by ReconPWN. We both used to wear a trademark symbol at the end of our name but then he was like "It's time to change it". He found an alphabet in subscript, so we put "HD" in subscript at the end of our names. "RedRum" is apparently a very common name on the internet and every time I try to make an account on something it says the name is taken, so I always tag on the HD part.

My name actually doesn't come from Fallout 3. I didn't know about the character from it until I played it around seven months after I played Fallout 3 for the first time. I got this name from playing on a zombie survival server back in summer/fall of 2009. Around December of that year, people started calling me the "Lone Wanderer" of the server because I usually was fighting the zombies by myself, outside any cades, etc. I liked the name, and about two months later remembered it and made it my Steam name.

My current one: "[M4er].Mark I was just thinking for a name
My last one: A cartoon. "Renegade Awsome"
My LAST ONE BEFORE THAT: A resturant, called Shogun express. And how in Feudal Japan, Master Shogun was a lord general kind of thing.
"Master Shogun"
Udie370: Killed my friend 370 times in Halo.

Simple really.
Psycho from Crysis and/or Crysis warhead
29388 being the zip code of the town I live in.

The Doctor- Simply a generic rip from the BBC series Dr Who
Dallas- This is the name I've used since I started on steam all those years ago. I've never been to the city but I find the name memorable and rather iconic.
David 8- A short time where I had my name as David 8 as tribute to Michael Fassbender's role in one of my favorite movies of 2012 "Prometheus". I am very interested in androids and the concept that we could create robots that are just as human as us.

STALKER is a name that is generally used for the people who risked their lives cleaning up near the Tschernobyl reactor back in 1986. It is also used as a title for one of my most favourite roleplaying, action, first person shooter franchise S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The stalkers in-game are titled this because they went into the Zone of Alienation without permission and are "criminals."

Lewis - my birth certificate
-
turian councilor - mass effect and my constant "ah yes, reapers" references
moon - got hooked onto the soundtrack of the film moon
evilmaster09 - 11 8, diagnosed with autism, my first name really
-
Don't even ask me. Because i have no idea what i was thinking back when i changed to this name.
I believe it was some day on CSS, someone called me a crap head ingame, on some danish jailbreak server. Me and my friend was then speaking on skype at the time, and decided it would be funny to change my name to crap head. I then wanted it to look "pro", and then it was changed to Crap-Head.
-
I was playing HL2RP some day when i thought to myself "i need a new name" and then i saw the word Apex and it sounded really awesome so i wikipedia'd the meaning of it and sticked with it. It dosnt have any relation with apex division besides me learning the word from there.
The other name i had (teh caek) was when i was playing a fuckton of portal.
-
My M4er tag comes from my old gaming comunity M4er.com
Sam my irl name, Simple huh.
-
Well my brother about 4-5 got HL2, and then Garrysmod, and made his name 'ThatDudeWithTheFace :D'
It was so very stupid, but he then made his name Tray when furry-ism was all the rage, because of some character "Tray the kangaroo."
He says that's not the reason but I totally know it is because he never closed his steam chats, and I, being a nosy asshole, always read through them before closing them.
And the Corporal (Cpl.) and 22nd tags are because I'm in the RnL group '22nd Airborne', and obviously, I am a Cpl.
-
Master Shogun was a lord general kind of thing.
"Master Shogun"
No such thing as Master Shogun. There was a title called Shogun however which were essentially rulers of Japan.
Abbott: Last name, came from KingAbbott which I used on Runescape and Warcraft 3 when I was a kid and changed to Abbott after.
LiamA657: Came from when a site gave me it as a nickname and used it as well as Abbott if that username is already taken.
-
Cow because I like the name. I just thought of it all the sudden. Who doesn't want to be a cow that plays video games??
-
It's pretty simple, actually. I live on a lake and do a lot of wakeboarding, so that's where wakeboarder comes from. The CWB part a lot of people ask me about, and it's the brand of board I use and have always used.
I uses to be Shake N Bake(Few years ago when I played CS:S) because my favorite movie at the time was Talladega Nights.

There was an image I saw with some cookies that had american flags as pastries, so i thought how about cookiesofamerica? name lasted
-
I got my name from when my aunt came over one time with some beef jerky, and a few days later when my brother was helping me making a Steam account, I thought of Jerky and I saw a bunch of zeros on a sticky note I took (I don't remember what for) and I just came with JerkyNero. The only times I may have ever changed my name was if I were going to troll a server, but I did that once and I chickened out. My profile picture I got from HL2:EP2 when Alyx and Gordon drive the 'Jalopy' or a 1969 Dodge Charger to White Forest.
-
Well, here it goes.
I used to be obsessed with the show "Teen-Titans".
And my favorite character on it was Slade.
The End.

Because black people pick cotton for me.

First I got Hazard910 from a friend, then I modified it to HazzieWazzie and now it's been like that for 6 years or so.

A long time ago when I joined some Medal of Honor clan, I needed a new nickname so one dude came up with nicknero for whatever reason. So I just took it because I couldn't think of anything myself.
About a year later, I was playing in a CoD1 clan, and I wanted to change name. So some dude came up with Cpt.Olimar, which I took. (Yes I know I'm dumb and can't come up with my own names.)
Later again, I decided to remove the Cpt. and was only called Olimar.
Then again, I decided to short it even more and called myself Ollie.
I kept that name for a while, and figured it was already taken by many games, so I added 1405 after it -> Ollie1405 which is still my Youtube username. (1405 stands for 14th of may, aka my birthday.)
And then I don't know why, but I decided to change back to Nicknero, but keep the 1405 after it.
And now I have this name for like 7 years or so, CBA to change it again.

When the xbox 360 first came out, my brother and I both liked ninjas and shit. He made his name PriestlyNinja. So I just thought for a bit and decided to put Crazy in front, so CrazyNinja. It was already taken on xbl though so I wanted to look "cool" and named my guy XxCrazyNinjaxX. Still taken, I tries a few other variations, but gave up and used the random name thing and picked a random name, which was "SolarFive". This is also why my minecraft name is SolarFive, alon with some other stuff. So I went with that, then after my brother and I stopped sharing a steam account, I decided to make my own, and I still wanted the name CrazyNinja, and found out I was able to, and I've never changed it, well only a few times for a day as a troll name or something. I have had a few different CrazyNinja names with upside down letters, stars, and etc... Then I just decided to leave it as CrazyNinja.
Then the [HZ]Pvt just comes from a clan tag. :3

Creepy_Man_4: Name from when I was like 10, nuff said.
Jzin_Dar: Oblivion obsession. Name of a skooma adict in bravil that I though sounded cool.
NavySealMan: Became obsessed with the seals, pretty simple.
GamingZealot: Changes to when I got Starcraft 2. The idea of a zealot slamming his sabers on a computer trying to play amused me, as well as the name fitting me as a person who games zealously. Stuck with it so far.

i made fun of to admins
Nasty Pasty

Ill go bottom up till now so it makes sense.
First username I had was Boss99 on my PS2 games. Idk why I chose Boss, 99 is my favourite number.
Then I chose Drifter after a spongebob episode where another sponge said "I'm a drifter, from out of town." and he looked all badass.
Then I chose Infested_Fang from Starcraft Broodwar. My best friend was Fang_Black and Names with the 'Infested' tag were cool. (Infested_Toast, Infested_Toilet, ETC)
When I got to steam, I went to Infested to clean it up a little bit.
A couple years ago, I felt the name Infested was a little too childish er, whatever I was thinking back then. I had recently watched "Million Dollar Baby" where the girls fight name "Mo Chuisle" was Irish for a slogan, "my darling, and my blood" So, I wanted to do something cool like that and went to google translate. I wanted it to relate to Gmod so I quoted "Imagine the Freedom of Anything" and got Statua Licentia Aliquis so I'll go by 'Statua', 'Statua Aliquis', or if I sign something formal but want to use my screen name, 'Statua Licentia Aliquis'.
-
First name ever was when I played Wolfenstein Enemy Territory and JK:JA (Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy);
Darkside - I stuck with it for years, before GMOD, when ET and JA sucked my life away, I was in clans for both of the games and fucking loved every minute of it and I wasn't bad at it either.
Fast forward at least.. oh dear god it's got to have been 3-4 years. I jumped onto this lovely server named GMOD:Racer, this was when PE didn't even exist mind you, and GMR was in it's baby stage, and I mean baby stage, the game was boring as fuck, and I left as soon as I could, my name then was xXSaBoTaGeXx (The fucking dumbass 11 year old that I was). P.S. I was there back in the early GMOD days, I specifically remember Tazojin (I think that was the name) and I helping eachother with money and what not. Anyways, skip to start of PE days, still using xXScabbytageXx, and GMR was in full force, like this server was full constantly, and I stuck there for a while, never roamed the forums though, barely posted on them, except for one post I remember posting about an Alienware PC built up to shit. *shudder*
Now skip to Mid Era PE, using the name Darkside and mixing it up a bit, and then choosing a totally different alias, Shotty Joe, because fuck I played a lot of MS: Remake and just came up with Shotty Joe outta nowhere, kinda liked that name. Now this was when PERP1 was falling to shit (I think) I got RDM'ed in the first like minute and there was a tornado, and errors everywhere, quit in seconds, never played again.
Then to early OC era, frankly, I have to thank Pk191 for being on my friends list, I saw him playing GMR and asked if I could join, he said sure. I joined and still thinking this was PE, stupidly asked whether it was. To which PASSOUT and S!COJNR, replied over their squeaky microphones "this isn't PE you idiot" and thus I got I told them no need to be a prick (saying that i think I did say something about fucking their moms, classy). And so I was in OC as iSabotage<3
Later on in OC, I changed from iSabotage to iCoupon, to Coupon, Tesco Coupon, Christmas and then to Sabotage, and then Sab for short (frankly I'm skipping past TheMrSabotage what a terrible name) after OC's death, now in CG atm as Sab/ThatGamingBrit. I do sometimes prefer to use my real name, as it just makes me feel a bit more relaxed. But meh, there is my story.

Katsu is a Zen word, meaning "realize it" or "get rid of the delusion the you haven't realized yet."
and then i had kat at some times and then it turned to katsaurous then kater and now I go by all 4
-
- First started out with "Echo_55" when I was six to about ten. Mainly played on the Xbox playing Star Wars Battle Front I chosen it just as a random word then searched it up online.
- Second I came up with "Canon_950" which I use for some of my much older accounts. Around when I was ten to twelve. Enjoyed canons, and thought they were cool.
- Then I finally got Delta1116732 by searching up Delta in an account selection, and it was taken so I pretty much has to pick a random one. Got 1116732, and stuck with it.
-
I was playing MGS4 and I wanted a new name so I decided to name it after Raiden.

There used to be a book on the bookshelf by the computer titled Yankee Samurai. I was trying to think of a username to register as when I was signing up on CG's forums; I idly glanced at the bookshelf and saw Yankee Samurai sitting there. I thought it sounded badass, so I used it (removing the space of course).
I've stuck with the name for several years because it's convenient. YankeeSamurai is almost never taken at websites requiring you to register with a unique username. Besides that, the name is fitting for me because IRL I'm of Japanese ancestry but based on what my friends say, I act and sound like some generic caucasian American guy. And it's also a neat username all around so yeah
-
I was desperately thinking of an original XBOX Live gamer tag and I remembered some gameplay I had watched from a game called "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard", who's catch phrase was "It's Hazard Time". Seeing as I had no better ideas, I used it. I carried this over to CG when I joined.

Got mine while writing a short story. Started with the Letter X, wanted a cool spelling style of some Celtic / Gothic region in europe aaand it clicked. :3
By the way, people constantly mispronounce my name so I'm gonna clear it up
Xanuch
(Zah-nuuk) Celtic / Gothic pronounciations
My avitars are of my own creation, really. Stealin pics was a shameless ordeal I'll never turn to doing.

Then name Frolie comes from the movie Children of Men.
The preggo bitch wanted to name her baby Frolie and I thought it was a k name.

First name + (Second name - last3letters) + s

First name + (Second name - last3letters) + s
Didn't you have another name? I remember Kaz calling you something else? Pootymines?
-
That was a nickname. I changed to OwenCobs in Pulsar Effect, Before it was [PE] Owen :)
-
I had the name Anteater when I was a wee lad, then I went on to the name Papercut.. I was later informed that those two names are stupid, so I settled upon Krusader. The |RIP Tupac| Comes from the fact that Tupac is the boss of rap, and he is dead. rip :)
-
My original Steam name used to be Zaboomafoo, after that really old kids show with the lemur and those two guys. After a while though, I got bored with the name. I went through a few names before settling with Sexy Frog. I really don't know how or why I thought of it, kind of a spur of the moment thing, trying to think of a catchy and funny name and Sexy Frog just stuck.
-
Originally I was thinking of a name so I came up with "Bludevil1468"(Blud evil1468) I don't really know why but I spelled it like that cause I wanted to be more original and that lasted a few good years. Then I came up with the name "Xx3LiTe SnOwMaNxX" cause i wanted to think of something new that was somewhat funny it lasted about a year or two. Now I go by the name "Snow Foxey" it came from out of nowhere really I think foxes are interesting animals and just put "snow" in front of it and I wanted to be alittle more original so I added a "y" then I finally settled on adding an "ey" and I have had this name for about a year now.
