07 Ghost
My name comes from Ghost in the Shell. I didn't realize that it was from an anime until much later on though. However, soon after watching Seitokai no Ichizon, I fell in love with the council president, Kurimu. Hence, my avatar.
EpicFailure
I fail epically, therefore my name is EpicFailure.
Esupanitix
I picked ten tiles out of a bag of Scrabble Tiles, and I got S, P, I, I, X, U, N, E, A, and T. I scrambled them until I got something with actual pronounciation (Eh•Soo•Puh•Nii•Ticks or, if speaking fast, Eh•Soo•Puh•Nii•Dix). It has no implied meaning and is a pure phonics scramble.

It was this or UltimateFantasticDragonSlayerOfTheWhiteKnightsWithRagingFury848573284583, I flipped a coin and Vext won.

Fried Rice :D

And this is worth playing it in scrabble, 19 points o.o

The origin of my username:
Well,I was thinking(hardly) of what username will I enter(and i cant think of any good usernames), so I just copied my o2jam username(o2gangster), and changed "o2" into "osu_"(i thought putting spaces in usernames is not allowed, so there is an underscore there.)
THE END.

Meikyuuiri Tsumi
Since I changed my username, I might as well explain it's meaning. It means unsolved crime in japanese(at least that's what the translate site said).
ArcAngelArtemis
I stole it or something.
Minty Gum
I wanted to name myself Mint or Minty or something like that because mint is my favorite flavor of ice cream :3 But it was taken, so I just went with Minty Gum. I'm a girly girl, so I just thought it sounded kind of cute xD
Nazeko
My nickname Why, from my real name Wynne, literally translated in japanese as Naze.
Then I came up on adding gender approach by putting -ko(子) suffix that means girl
Therefore roughly written as ナぜ子 (Nazeko)

Some are confused with the origin of my name, asking "does your name suggests you like cats? neko?"
that's true but I haven't thought of that neko stuff as my name.
hoihoisoi
It was a dark and stormy night. Seriously, it was, not kidding here, it was raining, how I remembered was because later that night there was a blackout.. I wondered to myself. What is the meaning of life. And so I'm like. I'll settle that problem after I install Gunz online.

So anyways, i installed it and registered on IjjI.com. At that time I was known as Buggy-sama from One piece as in that was my first username then. So I logged in and I was to choose a character name. Curses! Buggy-sama was taken. So I thought and thought and I came up with some other names which I cannot remember.

So after some attempts. I was like, lets go for something original. So I chose a single alphabet. 'H' at that time seemed very uncommonly used. So I decided to start with 'H'. If I'm not wrong I typed something like 'hahahaman' which was pretty stupid. So I deleted and the a. Then it came to me. "HaiHaiMan", damn, taken! I decided I want that kinda H and I sound.

So what do I do? Change the 'A'. to what!? I rethought my first name. 'hahahaha' and I thought, why not I make it sound like those anime laughter, you know those comedy anime women who holds up the fan and covers their mouth and go 'Hoooooooohohohohoho!'. So I added the o. 'Hoi' was created.

And so I tried 'Hoiiiiii' cause you needed at least 8 characters in your name. It was available, But it didn't look nice. Like the words were big to small and it was like only a one breath word as in you can say it straight and it comes out damn short. So I deleted the 'i's. So I decided to extend it to reach 8 letters. "HoiHoiHoi" It occured to me that it sounded repitative. So I thought about it. What if I changed the last 'H'. Then I was like. What letter. "HoiHoiBoy", "HoiHoiToy" and so call came to my mind. Then I recalled what I ate for dinner. "Fried fish with Soy sauce" And I was like. "Soy?"

"HoiHoiSoy" was created. I was very pleased. But then I thought. 'Soy it sounded retarded as in people would make fun of me. So I decided to change the Y to I. Thus creating 'HoiHoiSoi'. And then I started to play and blahhhh....Got my character to a pretty decent level and by then I was used to people asking me whether I was japanese or korean or something. So I was like. 'Huh....this name must be kinda different' Back then of course. Ever since then my username for many games have been HoiHoiSoi.

The reason why I decided to retain the name was because I used to write fanfictions back then with this username and I was known back then in some other forum I do not wish to speak off as it has been closed already.

And so the reason why my user name is HoiHoiSoi was because of the story. Also, this is just a rough interpratation as in the examples such as HoiHoiToy were made up cause I know it was something like that. The plot points are all here, some examples are made up just for story sake since I can't remember those name cause it was about 6 years back! Fish and soy sauce was real however, I know alot of you don't believe this part but I'm completely sure that's how the last syllabus was created. But overall this was how I got the name. The name I thought about the most when I was making characters back then. I had other names too, but now everything has turned to this one.
KoumeSh
"anzo" from the katakana characters of my name (anthony)
then "-nii" from taka-nii (which means brother, from seitokai yakuindomo)
HikaruAikawa
The name of an original character, made by my big sister (MayuAikawa).
f e a r
Sooten is a typo of Mai Otome
Copter-kun
Well. This is my origin. I was searching through 'rofl' because I was bored. Then, I found 'roflcopter'. I chose this name for almost every website for registration. I had to use different numbers for each website. In osu, I chose 46. Then I realized how my name sucked. Before. I got my supporter, hikari_eniza called me 'Copter-san' and I thought, 'hey this name looks good,' but rather than 'san' I decided to use 'kun.'
Flanster
First name was SonicXPS2 > I was into PS2 emulation and Sonic the Hedgehog > SonicX (the show) + PS2
But i changed it because i dont like PS2 emu or Sonic anymore so my new one is Lolicore Flandre > Im a huge lolicon which made me think of loli + core (I did not asosiate my name with the Lolicore music) and Flandre because i love her :>
Kamure
Well, this account used to be shared between my sister and I, so our interests were somewhere in the username.
I love chameleons, and she had the peace part.
The numbers are our lucky numbers, mine being 7 and hers 10.
But now it's all my account although she claims some of the time....

But ever since my partial involvement, I want to change it to Chamle-kun (cam-lay-koon).... but I know that my parents would think it's a waste. Wait until I get a job in a few months.

I regret adding numbers now!!!!
Punika
I actually called me once Naka, but I've later renamed in different communities, because I did not want any more be called Naka (which incidentally comes from a manga:) "Charming Junkie")
Kana is really only so because my girlfriends name Kaya and Kai xD oh man, that's really, really stupid: D

I change the name, however, constantly ... I currently call myself MurderdollPunika on



aaaah sorry for this crapy english... be gentle with me, I am a english noob... lol
AzureKikinak
Well got my name from two different places. Azure from .hack//SIGN which was the first anime I really liked, and Kikinak from an old PS one game called jade cocoon that I played to death. Kikinak was an awesome character whose only weakness was fire, and seeing Balmung of the Azure Sky made me think of him so thats why ^_^
ampzz
Was actually installing two amplifiers in my home theater system and pronounced the S as Z when saying amps, lol.
Tucked on the other z just because I felt like it, and most places disallow four letter usernames anyhow.
ISolvePractical

I dunno, I have lots of different names that I use, I just happened to use ISolvePractical here... :y
-Athena-
erm birth year + real name = account name ^^
wolfn
tl;dr: Last name and first initial.

When I was much younger I was starting up Diablo 2 (around 7-8 years old). My father had me use Wolfn so that I wouldn't spend too much time working on a username. I later abandoned the name for other stupid usernames you would come to expect from a child/preteen (RealBigBad, Bloody Bunny, neisan, ugh... etc.) Later I started wanting a more definite identity and chose Wolfn for it's simplicity, ease of pronunciation, and slight meaningfulness. Wolves in general are also a reoccurring theme for me due to my family name.
Micaela Mousiki
I used "Micaela" because is a variation of my middle name(Michelle).
And "Mousiki" is the greek translation of "Music" (Not that I speak greek), since I always wanted to study music.
Yup, my user name origin is BORING. :lol:

Norbi
Norbi is just an everyday nickname for Norbert in Hungary, not very original. I use this everywhere, but if it's already taken, then:

Norbi + pokémon = Norbipoke
Norbi Ueda - Ueda was my last name in Persona 4 when I first played it.
InfernoWonderland
I like Alice in Wonderland (the book version ;3) and well i put Wonderland but i didnt want it to sound uhm...cute? xD so i turned into something weird so i write Inferno but now i like it more cuz i found AmericanMc Alice and Alice Madness Return *-*

nimi
me and my friend wanted to make nicknames that matched on that other game we used to play. we thought of hot and cold, but that'd be ugh. so we thought, winter and summer. since i lived on the south of brazil, which is the cold part and she more in the north, i took winter and she took summer. when i was going to create my osu! account, there was already an account using winter, so i just put one more 'i' aand here i am now <o>
roleykatsu
My username is the nickname my irl friends gave me back in Grade 6; the nickname originates from my actual name.

BeatofIke
My username originates back in 2008 as my personal music artist name. Beat-of-Ike was originally my music artist name (back when I made music using FL Studio in 2008). It was not until 2010, when I started to adapt this name in the forums as my username.

How did I come up with this name? The first music I made in FL Studio was named "Basic Beat" (I still have the music if you want it, but it sucks XD) and Ike is basically my middle name. That's how I came up with the name Beat-of-Ike or BoI for short. Although most prefer "Beat" as my short name XD.
fuyuko-chan
I always loved japanese culture and of course anime, so I decided to come up with a japanese name for myself. My birthday is somewhere in the winter and "fuyuko" means child of the winter. I added "-chan" just for the heck of :3

I originated it from Valentine : x (which is derived from Roman family name Valentinus)
Didn't even know that Valentino is an actualy name

EmeliaK
I had three main criteria that I wanted for my username

1) Make it something that would easily be misinterpreted so I could yell at people about it
2) Make it an acronym of something
3) Make it so that you could only get one nickname out of it

MKSTAR26 was the result (I added the 26 because that's one after my birthday). People misinterpret it as "Mario Kart Star", it's an acronym of something longass, and I actually failed with the nickname one because people call me MK AND EmKay.
silmarilen
Pegram
I used Zero as my nickname, Megaman X having been one of the first games I ever played, until I realised one of the rules of Internet that that nick is never available since some bot always steals it first due to its popularity.

So I started to use x and X and - and numbers at the start and end of my username until I realised that I could switch it to Zero, because of the rule that you can steal an old user's nickname if they have been inactive enough.

Then I switched my nick to Zero, but then Zapy started to whine about our nicknames looking too much alike in chat, and then I started to think of a new one.

And because of some plans I had, I decided to add "Re" at the start. But ReZero was already in use and fawhfnasdfnasodflkdl but luckily I still got the nickname changed and, well, yay.

tl;dr megaman x
Milkshake
I have no idea D: mine was LolisMilkshake, which is a joke between me and a friend

Talvilapsi
"Talvilapsi" means "Winter child" in Finnish and I've used it or it in other websites too. It began when I joined to deviantART in 2010 and wanted to express the fact I'm born in winter and I'm proud of it. (Well, there I decided to use stupid Japanese/English variation but otherwise I've used the Finnish one because...because Finland. Perkele.)

Would like to use Swedish variation somewhere, though... Vinterbarn ftw :oops:
Heibel
Heibel is my last name, the 66 i can't remember how happened, i have just used it since the beginning of this user name
hinamizawan
Some years ago I was playing Pokémon Green on my GBC (I have a real copy of Green) and through the japanese phrases I read something about some cave described as まっくら meaning pitch black, and that's my user name origin.
xRayne
My username...

xRayne...nothing special.
I just wanted a different spelling of Rain. So it stuck. But rayne is such a common name...blah.
My old username on sites was EmoRikuKH

Story behind that one, i was hanging with my bestie some years ago and i was playing kingdom hearts 2 and she was watching and Riku showed up on scene wearing the blindfold and orgy xiii cloak...she said "omg he looks so emo" so i came up with that...

I was 14, shut up. xD
Noobita
i always considered myself a noob, and the suffix -ita seemed very suitable.
Foxtrot
dul·cet/ˈdəlsit/

Adjective: (esp. of sound) Sweet and soothing (often used ironically): "record the dulcet tones of your family and friends".
Thatgooey
Used the name "Thatguy" in ventrillo forever ago, and every time I joined a server/channel, Microsoft Sam would say "Thatgooey has connected/joined the channel". Eventually my brother and everyone else started saying it a bunch, so I just changed my name. Who would've thought that Microsoft Sam was so influential as to make someone change their name to the incorrect pronunciation of the previous one.
MrsNana
My Name here in osu "MrsNana" was in real a fun nickname from my friend ^-^
forgetM3not
forgetM3not.....

Since I love forget-me-not flower (ahh, remember a flower in AnoHana? ._. the blue one) , but when I want to use that, too long >.<

So I choose forgetM3not :D
jer0th
Mine is nothing special. Jeroth is my nickname and I replaced the letter 'o' with a zero for uniqueness' sake.
Justykanna
Justin is my given name.
Justy is a nickname that I got in high school so that stuck with me through. It's commonly a taken name on several games so I poped Kanna at the end and it's always available. If Justy's available, by chance, I use that.
So, commonly, Justykanna is the name of my accounts (Ragnarok Online, for example) and then characters within that would be named some random anime character / ability (such as Kyrios from Gundam 00, or Gokuryuuha from Inu-Yasha).
Octane
Octane, from a song/band.
Emaal
My idols username backwards. >w<
Patcheresu
I wanted to make my email pachirisu@yahoo.com. Unfortunately, I can't spell at all. It eventually became a mondegreen that I enjoy using. It is not pronounced Pa-chi-ri-su, (like the pokemon it was supposed to be) it is pronounced (Pat)-chair-ree-soo. Emphasis on Pat, thus the hyphenation.

BTW spamtrolls, old email is old, its not hard to find my new email, its round the 'net.
