    Easy prey is the name of a song we wrote in the early days of Novacaine and 007 we all know where that comes from.

    Well I came up with mine after watching the TV for a bit. My dad was setting up the account (which is why it puts me in the 45 year old age bracket in GT Sport :D) when he called me down to make an ID.
    Now, i'd just watched an ad for Budget Direct and 12yo me thought a guy riding a motorbike into a bus was extremely humorous so i came up with Captain_Risky_. Thought i needed some numbers cause everyone else had numbers so added my birthday onto the end. Thats it.

    mines easy, when I first created a ps account I was in Tasmania and most people ask what's your name. The 2 comes from me forgetting the password for tastim1

    Sadly, no. Might be a good thing though all things considered

    I'm a football lover (soccer) and when I was younger and playing FIFA (I no longer do), I needed to think of a name.
    Aaron Lennon was my favourite player at the time, and I was about 12, so came up with my great name.

    Speaking of which, does anyone know how to (if you can) change it?

    I've been trying for years. I believe the only way is to create a new one. ..
    Mine psn is just my last and first name stuck together. We I first messed about with online it was with Wipeout and I wanted the names to match. Now I'm stuck with it. Now if I talk about Matthyus, that came about during my Diablo 2 / Wow days. Playing as a paladin I wanted an older style name that conveys strength / protection. A name that conveys looking after others. After searching high and low, I remembered a movie ' The Scorpion King' with the Rock in it. I nabbed my name from his character.

    My name is dumb and I hate it. But i may as well embrace the dumb. After all i wouldn't be the person i am now if it wasn't for my teen angst younger self.

    I needed a dark brooding name. It needed to be deep. I chose Nox which is "Night" in latin and sounded cool and dark. Rai i changed the spelling from "Ray", as in a ray of light.
    Put it together and you get Night Ray or Dark Ray. Pretty emo i know.

    You’d think he’d try a different spout - one without such a consistent weather problem
