Re: What's In A Name?

Ok, I used to use the GT "Max_Rockatansky" when I played MOH
online and really wanted to go with that, but in an effort to
keep the name simple so friends could easily remember it I
needed to come up with something else. I considered a variation
of "Cool Hand Luke" as that is one of my all time favorite
movies but felt that was a little too common and likely used by
others.
I decided I wanted something gaming related and after much
thought (less than 20 min I'm sure) I finally settled on a tag
involving First Person Shooter game type "FPS" (but reversed)
and 92 in honor of Wolfenstein (released 1992) which is widely
credited for the FPS game genera taking off. I tried a few
variations before XBL would let me have the GT which is how I
ended up with the 2 extra zeros and may also be why I reversed
FPS in the first place.

Mine's simple lol,
Carpi: short for Carpenter, couldn't use Carpy cause it belonged
to my Uncle and Dad, they were Big Carpy n Little Carpy
respectively.
Kay: phonetic K, first initial for Kenneth.
Dee: phonetic D, first initial for Duane, my middle moniker.
1964: you guessed it! My birth year.
:cheers:

TKE = Tau Kappa Epsilon, the fraternity I was in.
919 = My scroll number for that chapter (e.g., I was the 919th
member inducted at that university).
Thing is, that wasn't supposed to be my gamertag.
When I first got my Xbox it asked for my Microsoft ID, so I
thought it meant my hotmail address (which I had for years but
never checked). Thus, the TKE919.
I've considered changing it a few times to either The Killer Emu
(to keep the "TKE" theme) or Majer Englush (because I am a
pedantic asshat), but not sure it's worth the $10.
:nerd:

Guderian - our grizzled grandpappy of blitzkreig 9139- the
semi-official start of hostilities in Europe: Sep 1 1939
though I recently read some very tacky things that adolf and his
henchman himmler did just prior to the Polish campaign which
kind of has me thinking it may be time to go back to "Gouda 44"
