Now while this is open to all of you guys, I'd like some Rioters to post their story about how did they got their names that they have right now? So like Riot Meddler , Riot KateyKhaos , Riot Rainslight , Riot porocles , Riot Moobeat (idk if he's actually a rioter) and many more! Just post them here so we actually get to know a bit more about u guys!

Edit: Psyche! I should type clearly! Thanks for the Rioters that have commented so far! As for the people like me and you (yes you) I was trying to say that I'd love to see some Rioters posting their stories about their names. I really had no intention to say that others are not allowed to post. So yeah, I'd love to hear any type of story that u guys wanna share! ^^

My story is pretty lame, haha.

I used to be a scene kid (probably no surprise to most of you), and I had a friend who used to always tease me about it. One day, he decided that I needed one of those edgy scene kid names and came up with Katey Khaos. I fired back with the name Mikey Malice for him, but unlike mine, his name didn't stick.

I thought the name Katey Khaos was kind of cool, and sounded neat, so I went with it. I used it for nearly all of my IGNs, which made it easy to decide on what I should call myself/sign up with.

I've had the name for over eight years now (holy shit).

In games, I've had people say things like 'nice MySpace name', but what's funny is, my other alias back in the day was 'Skankosaurus K8' (literally cringing right now). I was really into ska at the time (skanking is what kids do at ska shows - it's a type of dance -, fyi), and all the cool kids had some form of dinosaur added to their name.

Oh, and just for kicks, my first screen name ever was Blinkster1820. :)

The more you know.~

In MMOs I used to go by 'Vale', and my pen-name is Sunny Koda, but when I started shoutcasting and streaming I wanted a new name.

I wanted something that was spooky, high-tech and internet credible. Candleguy from Freakazoid satisfies the first and third requirement, and I thought replacing Candle with Kindle would make it unique while also giving a nod to the e-reader that has wholly consumed my then gf. I really love shoutcasting but I'm super bad at it :P

I imagine Kindlejack as a spooky digital ghost lurkin' around leaving concept art on old dusty message boards, digging replica Deku Tree dungeons on abandoned minecraft servers and writing secret short story blogs that no one ever sees (I do all these things).

I get obsessed with weird stuff every so often; 3d printing, sci-fi foods, VR, permaculture, painting parasols, whatever. Several years ago, my obsession was algae - particularly glowing algae. I sent off for 3 different types, and kept them in a cupboard I had converted into a growing room with some grow lights (because glowing algae is apparently very fussy about how many hours of light it receives a day). You could take the flasks into a really dark room and give it a little shake, and it'd glow the most incredible pale blue. It would continually blow my mind that teeny tiny little organisms, most closely related to plants but not part of the plant-family, could be grown in a cupboard and actually emit light when you disturbed them! One of the species (pyrocystis lunula) even has the shape of little crescent moons when you look under a microscope. It was possibly the best example of nerdycool ever!

Well, that glowing behavior is called bioluminescence, and the next time I had to make a character for an MMO and I got to the naming part, it seemed like a good, uncommon, but real word to use!

It's also really hard to type, do you don't get people writing it unless they mean it. Of course, I get called Bio a lot, which can get confusing when people are referring to 'bios' i.e. biographies, or 'bio breaks' i.e. going to the loo between games.

Screw you I'm not from Riot but I will answer your question, because screw yo rules.

Essentially you start with the name Logan, then Slogan, then Slogs, then TheSlogs. EZ

In my case its almost embarassing, I really liked the COD youtube scene for some time and wanted to make videos I wanted to choose something that people could pronounce but, since I already knew that I would not always be a fan of the series I wanted something that would not be specific to any type of game. So I used force as in triforce, and ultra just as a cool sounding beginning for the name sadly it was taken as a gmail account so I went with u1tr4f0rce instead to keep the name with just dumb spelling so depending on how popular something is my name varies between a normal word and a mixture of numbers.

Also I did not know when I made the account about the ULTRAFORCE television series from the 80s as I wasn't born then but watched one episode after someone asked if that was the origin of my name. If you want a stupid cheesy kids animated tv show its okay actually, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=700jt9EDfWA

Its kinda funny that some if not most names I see are usually negative like Deathfire69 or PreparetoDie07 and stuff like that. I know, not the best examples but u know what I mean.

Nice thread, cool idea, even better name concepts :)

So here's mine, just a joke, because Buddha is known to be zen and peaceful. Loved the irony of it, sticked with it for years. I like to think of it a bit like the Full Metal Jacket character who wears a peace sign pin on his army uniform and has 'born to kill' written on his helmet. "I guess I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, Sir!"

Wait, why am I here describing it in the digital era... here u go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMEViYvojtY

When I was around seven or eight, my dad had an Xbox 360 with the guest profile "Last Boss" on it. Like I said, it was a guest profile, but I took the name and ran faster than Usain Bolt with it. I've since then cut the space between the two words, lower-cased the B, and added "42" at the end. I've chosen the number 42 because it's The Answer to The Question. I've also had a few other names, like Endercreeper42 or theinternetflames over the years, and on XBL I'm currently having to use the name "Lastboss84" since I'm locked out of my old Lastboss42 account.

MooBeat does not work for Riot, Surrender@20 is just a fan site he created to share with us PBE Esports and Red Posts news

while we're ignoring the original rules of the post...and to give it a shameless bump...

Terry Brooks is my favorite author, has been for 25 years, and he wrote a book called the ilse witch. but being that i'm a dude, thus i am the ilsewizard. its never taken in any game i've played, is unique, and pays homage to my favorite author and series.

I'm not a Rioter, but hey, let's ignore the rules.

I got my username thinking of a combination between quickdraw (cowboys/showdowns) and something to do with animals/cats.
