Wanting A New Summoner Name. I want/need opinions!

The Mormonator·6/2/2014, 3:33:59 AM·6 votes·1,580 views

I am planning to begin playing League for more than fun, after a making some money over the summer I plan to buy a better computer that will be more designed for streaming, recording etc. But before all of that can begin, I'd like to have a unique username/summoner name that will attract people's attention. I'd like to be short and something that people will remember. I've had several ideas but non of them are really sticking with me. Of course, my current username could be used but I'd like the opinion of the community. Would you watch someone if all you knew was that their username or channel name was The Mormonator? Feel free to leave some suggestions, username ideas, or your opinion of my current name. I'll take anything. For some reason I feel like my name will really be what decides if this is successful. Of course, name is probably second to skill but either way, let me know what you think. :) Thanks

Edit: You guys asked some questions that I feel I can correctly answer now. What I like about league most is probably the competitive side to it. I love playing ranked games whether it's solo, duo, on a 5s team or even a 3s. I like the thrill of knowing that I'm playing for something a little more serious than for fun like normals and that the people I'm playing with and or against will also be playing their best and will most likely be playing seriously in return. I'm a support main at heart and find that I can most efficiently help my team in a tank or utility role, but I have no problem rising up to the role of carry or some offensive champion if my team needs it. The name "The Mormonator" came from when I was a young teenager from a group of friends because I am "mormon", sprouting from a religion called mormonism also known as the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in the past I have also used names such as Slayer, Toa (when I was a diehard Bionicle fan) and Hotwheels (also a name given by my friends that was similar to my real last name). As far as cultural references are concerned, I love anime and wouldn't mind a reference towards that but I wouldn't want to chase away viewers that are in no way fond of anime. Multiple books come to mind as well and or any fantasy or scifi movie.

Have it be something thats meaningful to you. Something you can relate to. Look at some of the pros. They get there usernames from a nickname people call them. Be creative, you'll get it man. Teemo

  1. How did you come by your name?
  2. Making up name suggestions would be difficult because we certainly don't you know if your personality will fit with the name.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, what you like about league, how your play style is, and cultural references you love and we will come up with something awesome.

On a somewhat related note, when you said "unique and that will attract people's attention" I instantly thought of how Scarra got his name. He wanted a name that was short, but left an impact. A name you could remember easily. At the time, he was using a name he created during his early teens called Scared4lyfe (so cringy, I know) and he shortened it down to just Scar. But that wasn't memorable enough, so he added the "a" and now he is Scarra. Try to do the same thing, maybe play off of your current name but make it different, shorter or something, and make it memorable. Or, just make it based off of life experiences like DoubleLift (the "double lift" is a move in card magic, and he was, and still is, a magic lover)

You play so well that you give people erections.

If you want to stream, the next step is to decide what you will focus on.

You like to play support, so maybe its general support stuff and you go with a name like: Tao_of_Toa

Maybe you want to focus on 1 char, Thresh could be : LaterDayThresh; Braum: JetBlackHeartofFrejlord

figure out what you want to be known for and work some angle on that and something that defines you. make it something people will ask about. the more they interact the better following.
