I got it because it was about the most original name on the internet. No-one wants to call themselves a nerd except me. Well, not Nerdsoft. The only competition I've ever had was for a Twitter account, which I believe went to an obscure IT firm.
My parents used to call me JayJay or Jay, when I was a kid. So I tried JayJay, but it was taken so I just went with JayJay9. (9 is my favourite number)
My Friend was trying to pick a cool name for me and at the time (6 years ago) he thought turrets were the coolest things on the planet so that is why turret is STILL my name on most gaming websites and consoles
I've used gh0st on a few different sites, but I tried it here and it was already taken, so I had to get innovative. After 10 minutes of thinking about how I could enhance this name, I finally got the great idea to throw an 's' on the end of it.
