It's always interesting hearing where people get their summoner names. What's the story behind yours?

Name irl = Joe. The Joker is pretty badass so that was where it started but sadly Joeker/TheJoeker were both taken so I sought out alternatives.

Edit: What about you Mr BoatStuff??

I just added an "S" at the end of the nick my father used in games we played together.

That's awesome! I'm the only person in my family who plays games, but I wonder what nick my dad would have used...

My younger sister would say it all the time while helping our mom bake, and I just thought it was funny.

Real talk though, did she end up getting more sprinkles?

Huge Pokemon fan, and Squirtle has always been my absolute favorite. So SquirtleSquad was easy, but then I decided to incorporate my favorite number jersey number (14), which I wear in hockey as well. It represented two of my favorite hockey players growing up, Alex Burrows and Brendan Shannahan. So I got Squ1rtleSqu4d.

I was 9 and was making a username. I like cats and I though a cat terminator sounded cool. But catinator was taken, so I just keep messing with the spelling until I got something unique. Been using it ever since.

Keep putting stuff together like that and you'll be the concatenater.

IGN is Dave the First - my name is Dave, and I named my first son after me, but instead of naming him Dave Jr, we named him Dave II. So I jokingly would call myself King Dave I, and it turns out Dave the First is generally available for IGNs in different games. Added bonus: there's usually entertainment if another Dave is in champ select with me or on the other team. It's either something like, "Of course I yield to the first Dave!" or "I challenge you for your title, sir!" or something fun like that.

Good luck when Dave II decides to take the throne...

Had a friend who had the same exact name as my current one. He suddenly disappeared and I never saw him again (didn't have any of his contact information or whatever). After a couple of years, I decided to take his name so that I wouldn't forget him. Whenever someone asks me about my name, I mention him. I do wish I could talk to him again.

I always enjoy the sentimental stories. One of my main online handles (not BoatStuff) was given to me by my best friend who passed away 13 years ago. I cherish it and think of him every time I log in.

I hope you get to talk to your friend again some day.

Meanwhile i was thinking on my username i was playing Legend of Zelda Majora Mask N64 on the Gilded Sword Sub-Quest .

Since i was a little boy by that time (14-15 years old) i ending up with Gildedboy, by my 18 years old i remove the "boy" and just leave on Gilded

(later i found that Gilded is not an nickname for a sword but just an object being covered with Gold)

by my 18 years old i remove the "boy" and just leave on Gilded

No "GildedMan"?

(Also I tried to main Anivia as my first champion. :P. Didn't go ideally. but I gave it a shot.)

Greetings.

And since I didn't see your original edit:

BoatStuff comes from the fact my wife races boats, like these

. I'm also a big fan of stuff like /r/drydockporn, and the engineering that goes into boats (omnidirectional motors are awesome). I'm 32 now and some of my handles from younger years are a little..... cringe. Needed something new.

I used to be boyscout. Even if it's not really allowed anymore in my country, the elders sometime give you an animal name after some nightly trial. Mine is thylogale.

So I use some variations of it for my IGNs.

I was in (the now defunct) Indian Guides when I was younger. My name was Running Turtle, maybe I should switch to that.
