I've played a number of games under 'Valdek' but the nick is frequently taken, and when it is, I use kedlav.

Got the nickname Trey in basketball... I was a pretty good 3 point shooter, then stuck my favorite NFL player's # after (E. Smith), 22.

Mine came from Age of Empires 2. I went to make a name for warcraft about 5 years ago and couldn't think of the name. I remembered some of the units in AoE2 making a noise when you told them to move that sounded like tobolololo. So I shortened it and bam.

Also go by Poa in places which is short for Poa Annua which is the scientific name for rough stalk bluegrass.

In 4th grade:
I used to play with Legos -> lego
I'm a guy -> man
I was in 4th grade and thought 666 was cool -> 666
= legoman666

I've never tried to register somewhere and the had to choose another name, so apparently it was a good unique choice.

I play online competitively and used the name OhSnap! Cause I would always say that whenever I either killed someone and it was a nice shot.
So OhSnap was taken apparently and I had to put 688 for my month and year of birth.
