This really isn't a poll. It's really just more of a question I've been curious about. It seems as though all of us have a name we constantly use for players in logs and RPG's. For example, Dish has Ryan Techer, Brewers has Jimmy Panther, Zero has Case Royal, etc. But what I want to know, is why do you use the name you use? As most of you know, I have two I commonly use: Cooper Thompson and Jeffrey Stanton. The name Cooper Thompson comes from NFL Head Coach '09. The two QB's I would always set my sights on would either be Cooper Reno or Drew Thompson. So I just merged the two together, and that's how I came up with that name. Jeffrey Stanton is much less scientific. I just picked a random first and last name.

I picked Ryan Techer because the name sounded cool, and made him Australian because Australians are cool, and he has the same first and last initials of my name.

The alias I take is usually Ty Wevner because it is so ridiculously similar to my real name that folks would dismiss it being me.

I usually use different names for everything, but Ty is always an option.

Jeff Harvey, who is the GM for my O's log and may be used as my full time alias, was made from a random name generator, and I picked it cause it has a nice ring to it.

I change up my alias a lot. Usually I just take a first and last name from people I know in real life.

I made Jimmy Panther in Success a while ago, Panther sounded like a boss last name. I haven't used him lately though.

I use Caron Butler in games like NBA2k13 MyCareer and rtts, probably because Caron is my favourite clippers player, but otherwise I'll randomize it.

Peter Smith was first used as my alias about 3 years ago when I wrote a script for a movie based off of the show Phineas and Ferb. I used it since Peter is similar to my real name.

EDIT: AgentP also comes from Phineas and Ferb, if you were wondering.

Phineas and Ferb is an awesome show! In my house, if someone is being difficult, or a bit of a bonehead, we call them a "Doofenshmirch"!

"Doofenshmirtz" is how it is spelled, I believe.

BTW, you guys think I should get a new alias? Jeff Harvey sounds decent, but not phenomenal.
