I didn't want to make my GameSpot handle double as my gamertag, but I should just be glad it wasn't already taken.  I was just goofin' around trying to think up names, and I was surprised at those which were already claimed.  In no particular order, here are but a few that were taken:

namsdrawkcaB - What?  I thought it was creative.  So did another guy.  A backwards guy.

Hung Lo - 8)

Sum Yung Ho - . . .couldn't help m'self.

HipHopHippo - the H, I, P, and O keys are right next to each other, forming a tight little square on the XBL keyboard, so my futuristic brain powers automatically played Boggle with them and came up with this monicker.  I was just being silly, but that didn't stop me from being a little surprised that this name was taken.

apocalipstick - Yeah, because online, you just have to have a really awesome, dooming sound to your name.  But if you're me, you have to make fun of people named "DragonVenom123" and "Dark[anything]" because they deserve it.  They're not as rad as they think they are, and a name like "apocalipstick" should be the perfect way to poke fun at their nerdy ways!  Right?  Right?

spatula - I'm not gonna lie to you.  I was feeling a little desperate after many failed attempts at getting a cool, original gamertag.  So, figuring I'd just outsmart the system and not try to be cool OR hilarious, I tried random.  So I find it a little funny that another dude probably felt the same way I did at one point, only sooner.

Shabazz Jenkins - Oh give me a damn break!  Someone thought of this before I did?  I mean?  SHABAZZ?!  JENKINS?!
