stagenaming 

Referring to a person by a name they made up instead of their real birth name, especially when referring to them by this new name is meant to give legitimacy to the idea that the person is no longer who/what they actually are. For example, if a person is male but wants others to think of him as a female, he might change his name to Caitlyn, and demand to be called Caitlyn, demonizing anyone who calls him by his actual name. He wants you to stagename him. If you do not, he will say that you are "deadnaming" him, a term used to manipulate people into feeling guilty for being honest.

Bruce said "Hey, stop calling me Bruce! Call me Caitlyn, to show that you fully agree with the idea that I'm a woman. Do it or else you are not a good friend. Just accept me as being anything I claim to be!"
His honest friend said "But that would be stagenaming you, and it would make it seem like I agree that you are a woman. You are not a woman, so forcing me to call you by your stage name is forcing me to lie. Forcing me to lie is not something a good friend would do. Just accept me as being honest!"

Stagamer 

Mix of the term stagnate and gamer.

The stagamer likes his games the way he likes his brain, cold and dead. Nothing new added or removed.

You'll see a lot of stagamers on steam discussions. They will always find a way to make even the best community suggestions for a game sound like a terrible idea, and nothing can convince them otherwise.

They don't care if the devs themselves add in any features, but they love to find flaws with suggestions from the players.

Most of them are narcissistic and/or toxic.

If you have a cool idea for a game being developed and want to talk about it with other players, be ready for a stagamer to pop up. They WILL be there to ruin your idea.

It doesn't matter how much you try to adjust youe suggestion to fit their criticism. They will always think your idea is trash. There is nothing you can do.

*On steam discussions for a small indie game*

Gamer: "I think it would be neat if you added in a shotgun into this game! It would help it grow and attract more players!"

Stagamer: "No! Shotguns are TERRIBLE and ruin the game!"

Gamer: "Oh, well I also thought perhaps an ak47 could be added i-"

Stagamer: "NO. It's way too powerful!"

Gamer: "But I haven't even said what stats this stuff will have ye-"

Stagamer: "NO. YOUR IDEAS ARE TERRIBLE. THIS GAME IS PERFECTLY FINE AS IT IS AND SHOULD NEVER BE CHANGED."

*1 Week later...*

*Developer ads in shorgun and ak47*

Stagamer: "Wow! Great idea! This game sucked beforehand!"

stage name 

a name commonly used by punk rock kids. When the last name isn't hardcore enough, a stage name is used. Usually used with alliteration. A new first name can be added for effect.
Usually punk kids go through a few different names before settling on one that fits right. You get TO THE MAX points for it being earned.
If desired, both first and last name may be replaced with one single name.

Examples of stage names: Myke Massakre, Brendon Boycott, Sarah Notorious, Arwen Apathy, Adam Catastrophe, Vomit, Scientist, etc.

Example of earning a stage name: Matt Chaos causes chaos wherever he goes; he deserves the name "Matt Chaos"
