I'd give you all three guesses, but I don't think you'd need that many.

It's actually the third or fourth one I've had. The first one I used was Gamma, based off E102-GAMMA from Sonic Adventure. There was then a slight variation of Deathgamma, which didn't last too long. It's my current eBay username though.

When Final Fantasy X came out, I fell in love with it, and subsequently registered for a few forums under the name FFXFan. This one's still floating around here and there, but isn't one that's used anymore.

And then..Gavvie. It was a nickname given to me by an old friend, and it stuck like glue. I've used it ever since and to be fair, I'm not sure what I'd want to change it to XD

Well, my general handle over the interwebs is Red Arremer, which is an enemy from the Ghosts n Goblins series.
Option is based on the little orb powerups from Gradius. My nick before was Sherlock, which I think you don't need to be Sherlock to understand... ;)

Gavvie is a combination of your first and last names, am I right?

I chose "Blue" because it is one of my favorite colors, I chose "Fox" because I like foxes, and I have "Tail" instead of "Tailed" because I wasn't thinking and left out an "ed" from the word and didn't feel like changing it. When I started to join other sites, I just stuck with that name.

I like your username, as it's a cool combination of words.

That and it's pretty original, in my opinion.

You all have pretty cool names though, I gotta admit!
