mine was random and I like rabbits so I kept it why did you choose yours?
what's the story of your gamertag?
I grew up when Numetal got really big and everyone had gauges and wore JNCO's. A bit of teenage Angst and an Xbox live account and my tag was created. I keep it so I can hear everyone's original jokes of "I promise I won't betray you..hahahahhaha!" a million times. Plus I've had xbox live since it was released. It'd be a shame to change the tag.
Before time began, I was known as WireFrame because I liked those kinds of graphics, which were popular back then. I even tried Santa's Little Helper, a nod to the dog from The Simpsons, but realized it was too long for most services.
Many years ago (14 to be exact), when I 1st joined XBL, I wanted a name that was unique, awesome, and memorable. Looking around my bedroom at the time for ideas, my eyes fell upon the book title of 1 of the funniest stories I have ever read - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Galaxy is a great word I said to myself; I'll use that! But Galaxy what? I would need something bada--! That's it, Galaxy Bada--!
Over a year later, a random gamer asked me if I liked my gamertag. Moments later, I received an Xbox Live message forcing me to change my gamertag since it violated the CoC. At that time, I was working as a manager, so I changed it to Galaxy Boss. That didn't even last a week before I decided I hated it. I wanted it to be grammatically correct, and I hated the boss in the name. Thinking to myself, I decided that I would be a self-professed geek, and not just any geek - the biggest geek of them all!
...and Galactic Geek was born.
With the exception of a small stint where I was briefly known as Yoda Man - a nickname given to me by my sister-in-law's roller-derby team due to my love of Star Wars, as well as a wonderful play on words, it's stuck pretty much ever since.
GG, from GG! 😁👍

I get a message from Playstation about once a month saying my name includes in appropriate language. I use the same name there as I do here.
I just ignore it. Nothing happens...at first I didn't understand what the hell they were talking about and then I was like "Ohhhhh"....
@glannigan I'm sorry to say, but I don't follow. What is wrong with your name? Feel free to PM me if it's really as sensitive as Sony might lead you to believe.
