Joined: *R|A*May 2010
Actually Started "RUMBLING" BF2 In April 2007.... AND .......... STILL A NOOB! :wink:

Was Born And Raised In Saint Clair Shores, Michigan. "East Side" Of DETROIT, That Was My Real Turf. In My Travels Around This Beautiful Country We Call The U.S.ofA. When Asked Where I Was From, NO One "KNEW" Of St Clair Shores, But EVERYONE Knew "DETROIT" Mich.... Although My Biker Bros And I Had Some Killer "RUMBLE's"(Knives & Chains, NO Heaters) In Downtown Detroit, I Was Born And Raised In The Burb's......... DETROIT! The (used to be) Automobile Capital Of The World. Home Of The "TRUE" "MUSCLE CAR". & The 70's Was My ERA. My First Car And STILL "MY BABY" (Totally Restored) Is A CHERRY1966 DODGE CHARGER. And Also Have A 1969 CHARGER. 'MOPAR' All The Way.... Man, We Used To "RUMBLE" Those BIG ENGINES, Smoke The Hell Outt'a Them Slicks & TEAR The FUCK UP And Down GRATIOT (Our STRIP) Like There Was NO Tomorrow. Ahhhhh! YES! The 70's!! Those WILD, KILLER, CRAZY (I Could Give A Fuck, Gonn’a Live Forever Years) Of My Youth, And The ERA,....Where The "TRUE" "MUSCLE CAR" Was Made In "DETROIT" (and of) "IRON"(per say)(not this thin sheet metal as nowadays) May Be Gone For Some. But Very VERY Fortunately, I Lived Thru It , And I’m Still Here, To “RUMBLE ON” Another Day ... With My New “GANG” These BADASS *R|A* Bro’s And Sisters……...... YES…. LIFE…. IS GOOD!

Come On Guys & Gal’s…. Be Brave…. Where Did Your Name Come From??

[freebird5049]

Hmm. Well Detroit i grew up in a different generation lol im 22 my dad however was yours and same scenario. I however was into tuning the 4 bangers. I named my first car Freebird and put it accross my windshield in big cursive white lettering lol ever since iv stuck with that name online.

[Remorce]

Oh you mopar douche. Lol. GM here.
My name came from when me and my best friend decided to play Habbo Hotel and I needed a different name. Since my father had recently died of cancer(2005) and partially due to the fact that I didn't know how to spell it correctly the name "Remorce" was born.

[Majortoubuddy]

original name was Major2ubuddy, crashed to log in and the pass was deleted my dad made the acct for got the pass i basicaly stole his cd key and made the acct Majortoubuddy so ppl i played with would recognize me i was like 13 idk and didnt think to put like a capital B in buddy in stead of changing the "2" to "to"

[Corona]

I named myself after my favorite beer. :rock:

[pedro1985p]

Ohh I hate Corona (the beer, not the dude!). we say it taste like pee, here in Mexico (north part of it). I know for a fact that the one they get all over the world is different from the one that they sell here. We drink Indio -bock style- instead (from cerveceria cuauhtemoc). Have you ever tried "bohemia"? Its a great dark beer.. as good as shiner bock.
Anyway, my nick came from.... my name / born year :S...
When I first created my account, I thought (like all other games I played, like steam plat CS) that your user name was just that, and the nickname was another different thing you could freely modify.
Surprise! shitty name stayed then.
Oh... it was first "pedrop1985" (like all my accounts, facebook, emails, msn, etc).. but it was taken, so I switched the last P..
Kinda impressive, uh? :/

[sTaRzAtNiGhT]

my first name was madizum that me n husband shared then i took over it has no meaning it was just a name we came up with... but i was tried of everyone asking me if it was him or me so i made a new name Starzatnight... my cousin from tx helped me out i wanted something with the word stars in it.. and she said that would work cause i love the night... so from there state song we got stars at night...

oh ya tequila is BETTER :)

[phx]

hmm.. My primary name is not restricted to BF2 I use it for most interweb things. Once upon a time I decided I wanted to use the name Phoenix, but then I decided that it was just all too damn common, there are millions of phoenix's on the net in all their variant spellings. So I decided on phx. Well phx was taken on BF2 as well as all the regular messenger programs so I tried to get artistic and came up with IPIHxX, trying to make sort of a block look to the P and H and had no way to do it with the X, (most apps wont let you use >) then even that was taken so I added a stupid 0 to the end for my orignal bf2 name of "IPIHxX0". Then the wiff, uh, I mean wife decided to replicate me for BF2 and made MrsIPIHxX. Hey what can I say, she loves her man.

Dandelo is a character in Steven King's Dark Tower series. I think I am done with that name, I just got it up to 2 stars and decided to create a new account. You will now see me on as MrIPIHxX (no 's' or '0').

pretty boring huh

[KillerDragn]

I came up with my name Killer-Dragon when i first got on a IRC server and talked to people for a long while.

I eventually then changed my Xbox Live name from operationflash1 to Killer Dragn, i would've picked Killer Dragon, but the name was already taken, so i took up the alias Killer Dragn, i then later on lost my BF2 original account and had to make a new one, And i named it KillerDragn aswell.

I always get heckled on XBL cause im missing the o in dragon :P; But i like the name nevertheless, its catchy to me

[Marcus]

The name I wanted from the beginnin was taken, I wanted the account to be called Fudgebrownie-Swe. But ofc I couldnt, after trying a few other names I gave up and made Azaeros, but I got tired of the name so I made another one called Plastallrik. I wish I stayed with the first one tho, because I would prob be a higher rank than now and beside, I hate my current name. I dont like it, I just use it as all my unlocks are on it. Im still evaluating if whether I should start a new account so I can be proud of the name, but idk, most people wouldnt know it was me if I did I guess.

Good to know your new account cuz I like to fly with you in the chopper.

[SniperNoSniping]

DETROIT-"IRON" My First Car And STILL "MY BABY" (Totally Restored) Is A CHERRY1966 DODGE CHARGER. And Also Have A 1969 CHARGER. 'MOPAR' All The Way.... Man.

You lucky bastard.

My dream is to own a 1969 Dodge Charger. Preferably one that looks like the General Lee. :[

[SniperNoSniping]

Oh.
And On topic:

Dora The Explorer.

'Nuff said.

[benopen72]

nick froggy72 were my first because I'm French canadian and I assume myself but I could not take it on bf2, then as I am very open minded (ben) in my language = many + open = benopen. ha yes! 72 I forgot you probably know why :rock::beer:

[Ben Richardson]

I decided I wanted a name or something that reflects a part of me.
I come from a military family, my Grand Father, Father, Uncles, Aunts, myself and two brothers.
I served with NATO in Europe 1977-1981
=77ColdWarVet81= came to be.

[ehk13]

um my intials

[brisinger90]

I got my name from the Eragon Book series,
brisingr means fire in the elvs language, when say the word fire appears, eragons sword is named brisingr, so he can catch it on fire.

brisingr90 was already taken so i had to use brisinger90 with the e
90 is the year i was born

[Aprilius]

I got my name from the Japanese linguistic version of the Roman month of April.
>English = April
>>Roman = Apriles
>>>Japanese of the Roman= Aprilius

Why April? Its the month I'm born in.
Why the Japanese translation of the Roman version? It sounds unique & sophisticated.

[H212]

H212 was the bumper number of my Up Armored Humvee (M1114) that I was assigned for my year in Afghanistan from 05 to 06. I put my cross cannons (yes cross cannons not cross rilfes, I am artillery officer) and a skull on the turret shield as well as on my guideon (flag) which I put on the antenna. It was a tough vehicle, protected me from getting hit with crap several times. My NCO who worked for me all year was from Kentucky, so I let him stencil in big letters "General Lee" above the driver door (I was kool with that even being a yankee from Mass lol). Another thing that is big in Afghanistan (asked anyone who has been there), the jingle trucks compete for notoriaty by displaying the most vibrant colors and having a distintive "Horn". So to compete with them, I installed an extremely loud "Dixie Horn". The Afghanis would look at us puzzled when we would play it, I guess they don't have TV Land playing re-rubs of the "Dukes of Hazzard" on their tv.

I posted a picture of my vehicle in the picture gallery. H212

[miner49er]

I'm a miner, I mine Gold and Silver...

[phx]

You also got nailed by some punk teenagers and their dog.

[A.P1994**]

My name came from my initials A.P and my born year 1994 and the 2 ** cuz it wasnt available just "A.P1994" so i added "**", just exactly as my brother (pedro1985p)!! i think i copied him! =S

[Seriez]

idk, it's always been seriez in some form or another, it's evolved to kind of a trade mark, if you ever see SeRiEz on the underside of a shell casing. it's mine.

[Haze]

When I used to smoke, I could only smoke that strain. Anything else would make me throw up.
So after my friends caught onto this they started calling me Haze and it just stuck with me.


Plus Charles always calls me Haze the sexy little minx.:wink:

[ChrisSync]

Bump!

Well my first name is Chris and i Sync a hell of alot of music.. and was trying to think of a bf2 username at the time.. so i put 2 and 2 together,. BAM

[HitherAndYarn]

Haze how the hell can you smoke only one strain of dank? That does not compute. If I named myself after a dank it would be Shoreline. Shoreline is very rare nowadays though. :(

Anyway, BF are the only games I use the name HitherAndYarn. It derived from a comedy movie of some kind (Abbott and Costello, Leslie Nielson) where some dude was looking for another dude and he says "I searched hither.....and YARN" and as he says that the dude he's looking for falls off a roof behind him or something like that. I was trying to make a new BF2 account and it was the only thing I could think of.

My primary gaming name is Guttermouth. I've used it for 10 years. They are the greatest punk band on earth.

My #2 global rating for TFC - http://www.gameme.com/ranking?game=tfc&country=&season=15&region=&weapon=&city=#settings

Should have been #1 but some asshole was good at hiding behind his sentry guns. I hate people who hide and can't face me properly.

Arent you a cop?

[Haze]

Haze how the hell can you smoke only one strain of dank?


My insides are very abnormal and any time I smoked anything else I'd get sick.

[HitherAndYarn]

I am an investigator for the Internal Revenue Service. They do not drug test. Ever. Privacy Disclosure Act. I work as a liaison for the County Sheriff Dept. and am allowed to carry a gun on federal property of any kind such as all IRS property, federal banks, etc..

Carrying a gun to work might sound stupid, but remember some god damn moron did fly a plane into one of the buildings that I frequented. You better believe I'm going to work armed.

[cherokee girl]

I guess some names are pretty obvious...
I'm a "girl" and I'm a registered Native American with the Chickasaw Nation. Most people go "huh?", which brings out my need to educate people :D

The Chickasaw Nation is one of what is called "The 5 Civilized Tribes"...
~Chickasaw
~ Cherokee
~ Creek
~ Choctaw
~ Seminole

They were all located on the eastern sea board when the white man first came to steal this land. These tribes adopted pretty quickly to white mans ways (thus they were considered "civilized), though due to ignorance there was a lot of misunderstandings (the worst being that we didn't believe in God) and discrimination. When the conflicts became too much and gold was discovered on Cherokee lands (central Georgia), the Army came in and forcibly marched us out at gun point to the worst piece of land they could find that no white man wanted (Oklahoma).

This forced removal has come to be known as "The Trail of Tears", since we weren't allowed to prepare and over half didn't survive the trip. The Chickasaw's hid out through the first few waves of Indian removal, but eventually had to join the other tribes in Oklahoma, which was originally considered "Indian Territory". Of course, once oil was found, then once again the white man came in and stole all of the land and pocketed the riches. Eventually, all reservations were dismantled during the assimilation time period in the early 1900's, when all Natives were forced to register with the blood rolls - or else. I had two sets of Native great grandparents. One was Cherokee, and they refused to sign the blood rolls. The other was Chickasaw... so I'm both Chickasaw AND Cherokee, but no one recognizes the one, so I choose to honor my great grandparents who dodged the census by signing up for BF2 as Cherokee girl.... though I'm considered a half breed with lots of white thrown into the mix...

And if you read all of that - congratulations :foc:

[Detroit-IRON]

Interesting! .... Thank YOU!! .. For That Knowledge!!!

[Dupi]

My last name is Dupont, most of my good friends call me Dupi... and its kinda weird because when my dad was younger his friends used to call him the same thing except he spells it Dupie. anyways, the 2000 part came from when i was a dumb 15yr old in 2000 and created my first AIM account and thought Dupi (+) 2000 looked and sounded cool. I actually created a plain old "Dupi" account in 2005 when i first bought BF2 but I messed something up when creating it so like five minutes later i just started over and changed it to Dupi2000 since i couldnt access the regular Dupi account...

[GotItFromEbay]

Got_It_From_Ebay.... I use to play America's Army and people would have accounts with a high honor level (just a number from 1-99 beside your name, basically ranks that serve no purpose what so ever) but they'd blow ass. Usually it was because they had bought the account from someone. And we've all heard of buying accounts for just about any game on Ebay. So I made a new account to just go into either noob servers (usually servers that only allowed 1-20 honors in),just play on other servers and mess with the clan that owned it (I know, I know, I was a bad kid), or just to make it look like some people were getting their ass handed to them by a noob. I figured it'd be pretty funny if I was whooping up on some high honor people with a low honor account that I "got from ebay" and that's where the name came from. I've had friends who changed their names to the same as mine but with a different retailer on the end. If you see those names, it's not me. :P

[pedro1985p]

They were all located on the eastern sea board when the white man first came to steal this land............
I find it pretty funny when I think of it. I go very often to the states and I get this a lot: get outta here. Stop invading my country. Get to your crappy side of the river. GTFO wetback or I'll call ICE and sooo on. And I would understand if it comes out of a native american, but its never been so.
And with all this inmigration laws and all thats going on in Az..
and I wonder: WTF? isnt inmigration what makes that country great?

[cherokee girl]

Your missing their point... they only want the "right" kind of immigrant. You don't fit what they are searching for.... more people just like themselves.

[Tony]

Lets see...

TonyyD - My name is Tony, My last name begins with a D. Tony was taken, TonyD was taken, TonyyD was available!

the current username I use is HideYoKeids.

From a famous news report gone into song form called "The Bed Intruder Song". Where he says "Hide Yo kids, Hide yo wifes, Cuz they rapein errone up out here."

[JB9_Rev.2]

My original name, Jabomb9, came from an old N64 game called Blast Corps that I used to play as a kid - there was a robot or something in that game called Jay Bomb and since my name is Jay, it only seemed logical. I don't know where the 9 came from..

ANyway, that account was hacked, got all messed up, and now I no longer have access to it anyway. So when I started playing again a few months ago, I made a new account - JB9_Rev.2. The JB9 is for the original name, and the Rev.2 stands for Revision 2.

Cool thread - always see these crazy names and it's cool to know where they came from!

[Detroit-IRON]

RE-Read Everyone’s Posts. .... WOW! …. VERY!! Nice/Interesting Responses ALL!!

BASSPLAYERCHICK: PRETTY SIMPLE. I'M A CHICK AND I PLAY BASS GUITAR

[WISKEYRUNNER501]

Not too many people are familur with the 426 Hemi. The Hemi was so bad that NASCAR outlawed after only one year of running it. Hey Detroit, my ride was a 1969 Mercury Couger with a 351 Cleveland, candy apple red with white interior. I can not remember how many sets of tires i went thru...lol but what i did remember the night i totaled it :( I also had a 1971 olds with a 455 big block. a heavy car but after 70, the sky was the limit... and that what the Florida Highway Patrolman said after getting stopped on I-4 on the way to Orlando. :flame:

[nmcb17]

I just couldn't think of anything else. My name comes from my first Seabee Battalion I served in as a commissioned line officer in the Navy. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 17. Hence the name NMCB17. Not much else to it. I use it in every game I play. The perk is it's always available when creating new accounts!

[*Mjdubb*]

Mjdubb=MJW my initials

[reyne_kill_you]

Where did my name come from:Reyne is my second name and i like to play wargames, so i named me Reyne_kill_you.

[gamerluke1989]

well lets see... simple of course.
gamer: because i game alot
luke: its my name
89: year was born.
simple enough right?

[Tango5-7]

When I started to play Battlefield 1942 and eventually Battlefield DC, I was always the one that came to a flag by myself. I would start to cap the flag, the flag would change to white and before I knew it, there would be tanks, APC's, a squad of players, planes and choppers to come and kill me! I do not recall exactly what the game said, but it was close to this.

This is tango5-7, we are being overrun!

The name Tango5-7 was born!
