Default Very Important Question

Was playing Blackops 2 on the xbox 360 about 30 minutes ago, when I ran across a guy named

"SandGiant99"

I asked him if he knew what a sand giant was, he tried to tell me it was a random name Microsoft gave him. What do you all think?

coincidence I am sure,

because I doubt a p99 player would not explain the name, even if vaguely.

I think Microsoft it's just a coincidence. It's an outstanding coincidence, but if you consider "How many words do they have in their prefix/suffix word bank?" vs. "How many people use the auto-gamertag generator?" vs. "How many names have I seen in the entire time I've been playing XBox", the probability is astronomically high that you'll see patterns in the randomness that seem like references to something you're into, but are just coincidences.
I was just watching a video of someone spinning the random gamertag generator, and the name "PlowableSumo" came up.

...what?

I can't think of sand giants existing before EQ, but after EQ, both D&D (Forgotten Realms) and Pathfinder RPGs have used them. Nothing special. This is important?

When I signed up for xbox live, all the tags I tried were already taken, and the first auto generated one was "BulbousPayload".
