Help me pick a gamertag

September 7, 2006 12:45 PM

Help me come up with a witty Xbox Live gamertag!

I'm looking for something with a pop-culture reference but not so obvious that everyone will get it. A good example is one of my friends gamertag, MrPibbsAndRedVines, from SNL Lazy Sunday. I don't want something cheesy like Al Coholic or the like. So far the following have been taken (both with and without spaces):

TedStriker
Fletch, FletchFFletch, IrwinFletcher
TyWebb, CarlSpackler, DannyNoonan,TheBishop
ColonelAngus
Mugatu, BlueSteel, LeTigre
TurdFerguson
BrianFellow
NickBurns
AzrealAbyss
TheFalconer

I would also take something with a geeky side to it, like IMRoot, BSOD or MSDOS (all taken).

I went for the classy "geoffrey esq", it doesn't keep away the 12 year olds however...

I flirted with IgnatiusD for a while, a combo of Toole and Black (John Kennedy and Jack).

How could you try TedStriker and not try RexKramer?

Best answer: mrpibbredvines here. I've been racking my brains(and the net) for a memorable snl gamertag.

Here are a few:

- Stiffly Stifferson (pranksters)
- buh-weet
- ooo-wee-tiara (deep house dish)
- velvet jones
- molecular man (conan o'brien)
- dirt, trees, and gumption (the falconer)
- DONALD! (the falconer)
- (DJ) dynasty handbag (deep house dish)
- Evelyn Quince (Tales of Ribaldry)
- Enid Strict(Church Lady)
- Tim Calhoun (Will Forte)

For quite a while, I was YourGayLover on several FPS servers. The fun was watching the results:

ILoveLamp killed YourGayLover.

YourGayLover just killed ThatStupidNewbie.

You just killed YourGayLover.

You can have it if you want it. :)

I'm blackstacy, from the Saul William's song. In retrospect, it may have been a bad choice since I'm a white male. I get alot of weird comments when I throw the ol' headset on.
I have no good names for you or I would have taken them myself. =D

Max Power!

Max Power,
He's the man who's name you'd love to touch!
But you mustn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear,
but when you say it, you mustn't fear!
'Cause his name can be said by anyone!
