Changing my Gamertag

giga = One billion
trix= -trix suffix of L. fem. agent-nouns corr. to m. -TOR, as adjūtrix, imperātrīx, venātrīx, fems. of adjūtor helper, imperātor commander, venātor hunter; such sbs. were adopted from XV from L. of various periods, as administratrix, executrix, testatrix; (geom.) applied to certain straight lines or curves, as directrix. (aka I thought the matrix was awesome in 1999)

I've been using this handle for 8 years off and on, and I think it's time to retire it. Firstly it doesn't actually mean anything. Secondly, it sound femanine (dominatrix) as trix is actually a femanine suffix. I used to like the ambiguity it carries as people don't judge you for being male or female. That's the way it used to be anyways, before people began communicating via headsets and posting pics of themselves everywhere (myspace comes to mind). So I think it's time for a new name. A name that will suit me and last a good while. A name that's also completely original that it doesn't have the possibility of being used. I always thought it was boring to go with something simple like your name and birth year. Where's the creativity? *no offense to anyone with that as their handle*

So I'm sitting here plugging in names into this checker I found on while searching for a new name. Choices choices...

The only downside is that it costs 800 Microsoft Points, and people will see my name on their friend list and won't have a clue who the hell I am. The plus side is that of course you don't have to create a new gamertag, lose your achievement points or your reputation.

I found a few name generators I'm using for inspiration, but I also want something people can remember. No numbers, and something quirky is always a plus. Nothing like having a name like "SuperAwesome" and you get your ass handed to you when you go online.

So does anyone have any suggestions? I'm open to anything except anime references and anything overtly offensive, like DateRape or Cooter-the-Pedophile.

Anything that starts with "A". You were killed by "A Gnarffeling Garthog" You were killed by "A Flagellating SpeDonk" You get it.

MuddyUnderwear, lol.. I'm pretty sure Microsoft would have an issue with a name containing Dirty Sanchez in any form.. but funny none the less. Here's what I've come up with so far.. hopefully no one will steal these but oh well: HoldFire ScottishRite (I'm scottish) DeadImpulse (that sounds really 90's) Aristocrunk (it's the title of a CD from my friend's group) HideandSeek CaptainMorgan (yeah.. it's not taken)

I can not give you a name, son. This is a journey that you need to see to alone.
