Java Bedrock What inspired your gamertag?

[WayneX4]

Well, Minecraft has a lot of unique gamertags and I often wonder what lead players to choose the gamertag they have. What inspired yours?

Mine:
Well, I love Sci-Fi and anything futuristic. "WaynePrime" comes from the fact that my name is Wayne and I'm a fan of Optimus Prime. "WayneX4" came from a show I used to watch called "Mech X4" (that's where the 'X4' comes from).

[SlinkyGnu05604]

My username is literally an Xbox generated gamertag. Had it since 2011 back on Xbox 360 and never changed it (I grew up with it and decided to not change it due to memories and possible save data corruptions on some games)

 

[borja312]

Mine is quite simple. My brother's IGN had his game-name and the numbers 132 at the end. What I did was writing my game-name (borja) and adding the numbers 132 in a different order. Like that, I called myself "borja312".

A few months ago, I dediced to change my Minecraft IGN to ImSynte, synte meaning synthesizer (an electronic instrument). This was because I was starting to dive into EDM music composition.

Anyways, I changed it another time to "borja312" because of the nostalgia and memories I had created with that name.

My sister made my account back in the day and she chose the name at first I didn't really like it but it grew on me now I can't see myself being called by any other name

 

[jamesthesignificant]

Ok, so for FORUMS name it's just cause I am significant. But my username is a different story.

So, I'm James, and when I was like 9 or something I played MC. I kinda went through this cringy phase where I wanted everyone to call me 'Jamezels' and that was my gamer tag, and now idk what to change it to

 

[tacoman222xx]

Aah this. I got my name from my roblox account, xxtacoman111. I was new to roblox and at a friend's house he helped me as I was stuck on what to do. XX was apparently popular at the time, idk why.

When I made a Minecraft name in 2020, (before I was ipad and no Microsoft account so I could choose all names, I liked creeper88), that name was taken so I just switched around my roblox name.

Im not like a superfan of tacos or anything, they aren't bad either though.

 

[Tyhfr]

Oh, this is a long story. I'll try summarize as best I can, but thank you for asking this question!!

When I first started playing Minecraft (ages ago), my dad was the one to set up my account so that I could play on servers (this is how I found the beloved CubeCraft). Anyway, he made my username contain my real name, which is unrecommended. Also, after a while it just seemed really silly because of the way he implemented it.

I talked to him about changing it, and after a bit of research we found that I could do it on my Xbox account. I booted up my Xbox because that was the only way I had access to my account, and found where to change my name. As a test, I mashed in random characters and out came, "Tyhfr".

Also I can confirm this story because you will notice that all the letters required to type "Tyhfr" are all right next to each other, and because I was on Xbox it meant I had to move the joystick to change between letters, hence why the characters in my name are so close together.

It was only when I tried to change my name to something that I actually wanted when I realised that I would have to pay ~$15 to change it again. Not wanting to spend money on something unnecessary, I never changed it. I'm honestly very glad I didn't - the name "Tyhfr" has stuck with me forever, and now I wouldn't change it if it were free.

 

[Suchi]

My IGN (oSuchi) was just inspired by the food. The ironic part is, I don't even like fish..

'Blazer' was based on the mob. I thought the blaze was cool when I was younger (I still do)

 

[bathie ✨]

I used to want to do YouTube and make videos/stream, so I went by 'NathieGamingYT' and eventually wanted it to just be me - thus, JustNathie.

 

[meshachhelaena]

MeshachHelaena because 'Meshach' is my real name and 'Helaena' is my sisters name. My dad made my Microsoft account and i wanted my name to be Meshark (A nickname when i was young), but my sister said she might play Minecraft everyday, so my dad did 'MeshachHelaena', but she rarely plays it anymore. My Java gamertag is the same because it used that name for about 3 years

Goofy ahhh

Mije is so boring. Its my name, my brother's name (cuz I played a lot of mc with him when I was younger,) and a random letter and numbers

[Haken6243]

Thats rather simple for me... I just wanted to name myself after a mc item so my name is just the german version of "tripwire hook".
