In interviews with experienced game players it was made clear to us that players with names referring to sexual acts or body parts were considered as "immature" or pre-teens. Whether they were or not, is not the point. The fact is names communicate symbolically to all players how one prefers to be perceived by another. The symbolic quality of a name leads to its usage in word play. Creative word play was quite common with players making references to the novelty of different names used on their avatars. In one instance a player changed his/her name to "isucl" and received the response, "like on breasts." Another interchange went on for a few minutes regarding names of players used in particular Counter-Strike clans. We recorded an entire discussion of different animal names used in one clan, in particular, wombats, chickens, ducks and cows, and what kind of farm keeps wombats. Throughout the discussion various players would enter the conversation writing out the supposed sounds of their animals, "mooo!," "quack!" and "snarl/eeek!"
