Galenas = "Pipe-weed, a herb with sweet-scented flowers, was evidently brought to Middle-earth by the Númenóreans during the Second Age, as Merry speculates in the Prologue, and as suggested by its common name in Gondor: westmansweed. It was known among the Dúnedain as sweet galenas for its fragrance." LOTR Dank

[methademic]

Mine is from a song by the band mouth sewn shut, I've always thought the name sounded cool.

 

[Blade4693]

i aint gonna lie.. somewhere .. deep inside me... i semi approve of this.. now if you named your kid Nomak.. that would be pretty bad ass and complete the circle. lol

I always joke that if I have a daughter I am going to name her Katana (Or Kitana), it can be a play on my name plus it could double as a MK reference I would never tell my wife about lol

 

[StealthyMuffin]

Please tell me it's your real name...

 

[TackyHaddock]

Xbox live named me this. Literally. When I signed up for Xbox live a couple years ago, the default name it gave me was TackyHaddock8. I accepted the title and chose not to change it. It is now my gamertag on both PSN and xbone lol

 

[BLACKRENEGADE]

Please tell me it's your real name...

there are some kids named this lol

 

[flipkev]

Flip = funny looking island pacific-er
Kev = Kevin

Or if I use TTG it stands for Tank Top Guy, a name given to me by flexohyland because I always wear a black tank top to tournies and in general.

 

[TopTierHarley]

Well as we all know Harley is Top 5 in Injustice so yea...
My JP PSN is Bakaiya, Baka meaning idiot or dumb, and Kaiya being my name.

 

[Groove Heaven]

Goofy song from the best OST ever. I wanted a weird name that people would remember.

 

[George Costanza]

I am the embodiment of all that is George Costanza!!!

 

[Indecisive]

Before going to my first ever tournament which was going to to be my local scene at the break i had to decide on what to name myself. Over the years i used multiple different names on different forums. A lot of them where shit since i was a kid when making them most of the time. The Most Common one i used was Frostbite or Forte(This is my Xbox360 Name) Usually at the end if needed i would add 91(This is the year i was born) So I had many different name ideas and i was talking to my friends about it. One of them said to me that since you are being so Indecisive about what you want your name to be why not just name yourself that. I did. And it worked out better than expected ever since

 

[Iron Angel]

I wrote an article about this month's ago: http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/05/19/iron-angel-my-3-super-powers-the-story-behind-my-original-creations-2943183

I like it when people put this sort of thought into their names.

 

[NoobSaibot]

Noob or gtfo

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

No Snakes Alive is a song by the incomparable MF DOOM that sounded badass as fuck, still does, and always will; please recognize.

And Johnny Cage is just so based. #TYBJ.

 

[Espio]

Espio is a ninja chameleon from the Sonic The Hedgehog/Knuckles Chaotix universe. I more or less chose this name because Espio is an obscure ass character that most people don't use and know nothing about and I almost always main obscure, weird or underused characters in every game I play plus I'm a weird person in general and like to go my own way so it all works out perfectly.

[bettyswallaux]

Mine is the name of my band, which is sweaty bollox rearranged.

 

[Israfel]

My GT :Mallificarum
One of my favorite songs by AFI is Malleus Maleficarum. I always like the title as well because it is the book that was used during the Salem Witch trials. Malleus Maleficarum translates to "Witches Hammer". I was young and didn't bother checking the spelling before I submitted my GT so that is why the spelling is wrong.

Israfel: Goes back a long time ago when my best friend and I were really into "Melee" a local larp fighting community. We were creating a new faction out there in the group and we had to create a backstory. We were going to be celestial beings and so we decided to choose the names of angels for all of our members. He was Raziel the "Keeper of Secrets" and I played guitar so I chose my name as Israfel which is the angel of music.

That's my long winded explanation of my aliases

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

I like how this thread always appears on TYM nearly every year.

And oddly enough, my handle changes just as often

[BlackJackSnack]

I used to play call of duty with a bunch of people and we always made fun of one of our friends GT: blackjackzach.

One day we all changed our gamertags to blackjack______ whatever to mess with him so when he got on we had about 12 of us with names like
Blackjacksnack
Blackjackquack
Blackjackswag
Blackjackjew
Etc...

I actually like the name blackjacksnack so I kept it
