Well GTs have to come from somewhere. What do yours mean? Mine is actually random. What do your names mean?

Well, I honestly don't know where mine came from. I remember sitting in front of my TV when I signed up for xbox Live (a year and a half ago) and trying to think of a GT that didn't suck to much. I think I did okay, except when people mispronounce it. Those are "u"s people, not "w"s.

I was netfreak as a kid, then I updated it to netphreak about three years back. Netphreak was already taken on xbox live, so I added four bits of binary to the end...

Hmm... mine came from a close friend. He chose it, and I modified it a little bit.

I have no clue where mine came from. I guess I just put two words together trying to find an AIM name.

Like KP's GT, all the letters of mine (Silent Xenocide) happen to be my initials.

I went by darknight online for a while (I was known to be a silent killer in CS, so I got the name that way, didn't play CS that much though) Alto got added because I wanted to make it more sophisticated. Alto means tall. I am 6'4 so tall darknight seemed to fit.

OK, then...

Mine seems to be a strange one (and one that many a younger XBL player loves to jeer about), and I got it very strangely.
A couple Christmases ago a bunch of my coworkers at the bookstore thought it'd be fun to come up with elf names a la David Sedaris' one in his book (if memory serves) Holidays on Ice.
I don't recall what his elf name was, but it struck me as rather anti (non?) politically correct, which I am all for. I likewise don't recall my coworkers' elf name choices (yeah, I have a p***-poor memory), but mine stuck with me, and it was an easy gamertag to snag, as no one else had taken it.
My original GT choices were Disco (my Xbox's name), Herotodus (I have never seen this guy online), and L-Train (not surprising (to me) that that one was taken).
So, Frogwart it is.
I guess my question to everyone here is: If given the opportunity, would you change your gamertag?
