  I'm curious at how everybody has come up with there profile names (apart from the obvious)

  Mine is Mantis (I still don't know why I put the numbers at the end) and it's nick name given to me by my cricket club when I first started playing about 20+ years ago.

  It was a stinking hot day at my first training session, so I rocked up in t-shirt and shorts, I have colored skin and was a bit skinny back then.. 

  So from then on they called me a, Big Brown Stick Insect....lol.... hence the word Mantis.

  Cheers

  Ok, mine is a little bit stupid to be honest. When i signed up, i didnt realise how big WGT was, and i was sitting there typing in names like "number 1", and so on. Thing was all the names i typed where all taken. So i then thought, hang on, 2 - 1 = 1 (Number 1) so i went for that,and spelled it instead of the numbers. Simple and easy really, but if i knew i was going to get hooked on the game, i would have came up with another name, lol.

  Well, my name is Kristian, and Kriztjan is just a rewrite that i did playing Diablo in like 1999, use it ever since.

   

  So if you happen to stumble across a Kriztjan in Battlefield 3, most likely me.

  Mine's an interesting one... this was before my family got broadband. My teenage daughter was on Facebook one evening, and she came up to me and asked for a cool nickname while she was chatting with friends. Out of nowhere, I said SgtDoodles. That moment came to me when creating this account, so I typed in SgtDoodles as my username. I wan't taking it seriously at all ;-) had I known I would get hooked on here, I would've come up with something better ;-D
