I usually use TEE. <- First three letters of my first name.
Or XAR, and you can just guess where it comes from. But I have never actually use that.

i've change a lot with my initials.
-back then i used DVE or DCS cuz my name is Dave C. Silverio
-then i used SPC for S up erc ar, a band i really love, and also GKT for Gackt (cuz im a fan) and admittedly BOA cuz i was all over that korean singer when i was younger...
but now i mainly use RNB for R on inB uddha (not R-n-B music), to resemble my general internet screenname. but i still use DCS on occasion though

RFP for first & last name (last name is hiphenated so it's 2 names)
I used to primarily use LIM but real name is just a bit more accurate.

TVR for my initials for a really good run.
AAC for being one of the fastest things that can be entered without the machine changing it for those other runs that still manage to make the table somehow.

AAA most of the time. I mean, what's the importance of this on your own copy of the game. Nobody will watch it besides yourself...
When I'm not lazy I mark VIN, my name initials obviously.[/b]

For the longest time I would always just put in NRR for the initials of my name. It kind of sucked though, because anybody watching would comment on how stupid it looked. One arcade attendant was watching and started repeating it nrrrrrrrrrrr in a horribly annoying way.
But one of my friends suggested I change it to NRD because it could be a way of saying nerd, , so it kind of makes sense in a way.
When I screw up in a game and I'm mad though, its always FUK

"LIP", the last part of my first name.
I don't use my initials because then it would be: "P.P"

MAJ , which are my initials, but when playing shmups I sometimes use SLD as well (mainly to differentiate the scores so the ranking board isn't full of the same name). But
MAJ it is.
And I like the idea of having this under our usernames as well if possible.
But how would we deal with doubles then?

Usually I just use my initials, though after a particularly frustrating run I'll use "ACK" or "ARG."

CUN
T__
FUC
K__

I have no middle name and 2-letter initials just aren't that cool.
I use
REG
From REGS, a character in Ys Book II. He was old and wise, and I was the resident geek as a kid (who am I fooling, WAS?) so, the name stuck.

Go on, take a look at my username over there on the left and have a wild guess.
My username, though not based on my real name, is a real-life nickname I have, so it all works out nicely.

Real initials. Easy mode.
Alternates: 'GAB' or 'O.X'.
Hahaha, AGB is actually what some of my friends call the crap you have after a big night on the booze. After Grog Bog. It's an Aussie thing I guess.
I use my initials which are BAW. I'm quite happy with that.
