How did you come up with your summoner name?

Hey all, I was wondering how you came up with your summoner name. A lot of people have funny/true stories behind them and I'd like to know how you came up with them. I got the name AetherealAnomaly (my friends hate searching me )because a my friends and I got bored and we're discussing how English looks like Arabic upside down, and someone said "that's an alphabetical anomaly", (p.s. we had told him to use as many super long words as possible that day). So I was going to use Alphabetical Anomaly, but it was too long. But I really liked the name so I legit googled "random A word" and it gave me Aethereal, so now I'm AetherealAnomaly. That's how I got my (very) long and awesome name, but I wanted to know yours. If you have a friend with an odd name/story post them if they don't mind :) Thanks!

I wish you had picked Battlecast Nami, that would have been an epic(and maybe dumb) looking skin. xD

Friends nicknamed me Dukus (or at least how they originally spelled it). When typing in my summoner name I accidentally added an e and didn't notice, which has now been apart of my name for 6 years. It is also still a running joke with my friends.

My family nickname was Norman (my real name is Kenny). My cousin used to always call me Stormin Norman, after the general. That name proved to be rather long so I stuck with Stormin.

Winter is my favorite season
I think Fizz is the cutest champion in the game
Tundra Fizz's parka looks so warm and adorable

So I picked Tundra Fizz

Personally, I think the cutest champ is Gnar. Fizz is cute but you get tired of seeing his face on the enemies quadra and penta kill logo...

Best sexual innuendo involving Taric I could come up with that was unlikely to get banned.

My argument vs any complaints against my name is that oxford clearly says my name is lovingly holding pretty rocks. No sexual innuendos involved.

Thank you Oxford, if nothing else you've given us an excuse to use the word "fondling" =p

Taric the GayJun 15, 20161 votes

Every time I played Taric I always heard "OMG, Taric you are SO GAY!" So I took an insult and made a joke out of it.

And also because Ezreal is just the most beautiful man I ever did see.

Someone posted a Video with names for jhin mains during his Hype, and i took one of these names, previously i called myself DatSteinbaum, no idea how i ever came up with that shit, like, 4 years ago. go-to Name for like, everything since then. the funniest thing on my actual Name is that i suck with jhin, hate tryndamere, and main sion. My friends still hate me to this day that i changed from DatSteinbaum cuz they always called me stein or steini.

Played Janna quite a lot a couple years ago, so I changed my name to one of her quotes: "Gale winds, unleashed." Except the limit for summoner names is 16 characters (I was '16CharactersLong' on the PBE for a while =P), so I knocked off the only letters I could that would leave it with correctly-spelled words while still being recognizable as a Janna quote.

That and it also makes sense when you realize Gale is actually my name =P

ThunderspamJun 16, 20161 votes

I like that 16CharactersLong, very clever

NarvuntienJun 16, 20161 votes

I... well liked spouting gibberish in a way that sounded like a foreign language... don't ask why but I used to do it... I was playing Civilization 2 and I chose to be the aliens, which is super boring because you are on another planet with no opponents, but I named all the cities in my gibberish language.

I'd say something in my gibberish langauge then turn the sounds into latin letters and give the city a name. Garitoe Guard was the capital..... then I made a sound that became Narvuntien, the city of Narvuntien. I just really liked the way this made up word sounded and felt. This was about the same time I started become active on the internet needing to make accounts with unique user names and why not use a username that was completely unique since I invented the word. Now on the internet I am officially Narvuntien.

There are people in real life that call me Narv because they met me online, most often they are from my LoL, who are friends of a friends brothers friends... yet I know its weird. but they didn't know my real name only my online name and it stuck. I am to them "Narv", in real life and in voice chat. It does start with the same letter as my real name and I have for a very long time an obsession with being unique so the shortening of my real name I use is also unusual.

I was more of a civilization 4 person myself, 2 was kind of meh for me. But I do love that name, super original.

Well the best thing about Civ 2 was you played it in windowed mode so you could still browse the internet and err use MSN messenger to chat with friends, those were the days :P. I also liked the bonus, Sci fi and fantasy skins of the game it came with.

I have played quite a bit of Civ 4.

But my problem with all these games is that difficultly level system means you can basically find one easy one impossible without being able to work out what you are doing wrong you can't improve.

Yeah I did prefer the windowed mode and the SciFi was fantastic, but I liked the overall structure and gameplay of 4 better(and anything is better than civ 5)

I got my name from my account on Steam. I am very obsessed with space, and so if you look up my multitude of names on Steam, most of them having to do with space (Most prominently, unfortunately, CosmicBlazer. idk what I was thinking.) But, the story behind that is quite simple. I was renaming myself on Steam, went to the Restroom, and when I came back it was Cosmiick. I liked it, and I rolled with it. Unfortunately for me, I do not own AurelionSol yet, so I can't be a space dragon :[
