Introduction

Yo. Today I want to share information on names. But not just any names. Top melee player names. I actually want to do this for 2 reasons. The first is that I like spreading information. The second, and more important reason is to give inspiration to those who haven't figured out their name.

Armada

Oh boy. This one is though. There's actually a common misconception on where Armada's name comes from. People thought that Armada actually meant Action Replay Adam (Adam is Armada's real name) because Adam backwards is mada and the first letters of Action Replay is AR, so combined it's ARmadA. Armada has actually debunked this theory multiple times saying that his brother gave him the name Armada and he just stuck with it.

Hungrybox

There's actually 3 possibilities on where Hungrybox's name comes from. Hunrgybox actually told 3 different stories on where his name is from. The first is that as a baby, Hbox liked to chew on cardboard. The second is that his signature looks like a very hungry box.

The third is that Hungrybox doodled during class and it looked like a hungry box.

I think it's super silly that we don't know where his name is from to this day.

Leffen

Leffen's name is super dumb and you should not do this if you're aspiring to have a good name. Leffen had a friend that played world of warcraft. His friend gave him the account and the name "Leffen" was already attached to it, so Leffen took it.

Mango

Mango's name has the most well known origin story. Mango and his friends were playing counter-stike on at a LAN party and mango entered his name as "I want a Mango" and his friends have called him Mango from that day. Fun Fact: Mango's son's middle name is legally Mango.

mew2king

Mew2king's name actually isn't original. Before him, there was actually another guy from smashboards who's name was mewtwoking with mew2king following. Coincidence? I Think Not! Mew2king said his name was made because his favorite Pokemon is mewtwo and he was very good (like a king) at melee.

PPMD

It's actually a little joke that PPMD loved project m so much that he changed his name to "Praise Project M Developers." That's not the case however. PPMD in the 7th grade (I think) spilled orange juice on his lap and his friend called him Dr•PeePee for the entire day. When he got into smash, he wanted a funny and memorable name, so he picked Dr•PP. Of course, he got good at the game and got sponsored by Evil Geniuses and had to change his name to sound more professional, so he changed his name to PP M. D., which is just another way of saying Dr•PeePee.

Ken

This may surprise a lot of you guys, but Ken's real name is actually Ken (what a shocker).

Speed Round

I don't care about these players as I do the others above so here's 5 random players I picked.

-MacD is short for MacDaddy, but he shortened the name down.

-s2j is short for Smoke2Jointz

-SFat used to be a jigglypuff main and said she was So Fat, so that's what his name turned into

-Axe and his friend Tag wanted their names to be unique, and while they were putting on deodorant, they thought of making their names the deodorant they used

Hax used to be a top Pokémon TCG player and hax was a term that just meant good luck in the professional Pokémon world

Fly Amanita

Fly has his own category because I found the origin of this name very interesting.

"I was signing up for a Nintendo forum to talk about Smash and I wanted a name that was relevant to Nintendo, but not in an obvious way. I don't remember how, but I eventually learned that the Mario mushrooms were based on Amanita muscaria in terms of appearance, and I liked the sound of the common name "Fly Amanita". It felt additionally fitting since I think I was a Mario main and Luigi secondary at the time."

Conclusion

I truly promise I will make a smash 4 version of this post (if this post gets featured).
