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!!!!

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

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 ^_^

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.

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.

And "Mousiki" is the greek translation of "Music" (Not that I speak greek), since I always wanted to study music.

Username 8find3r is an old username that I used years ago when playing Half-Life games. The "8" stands for "infinity" and "finder".. Well I was always looking to be the best and on top so I thought being infinite would be the same as being invincible. Oh my my

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>

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.

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.

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

"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:

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

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.

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).

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

15 years ago, my big brother was showing me how to start a game of quake 1 when I was 9 years old, around 1996, on a Pentium I computer. He asked me to give myself a nickname, anything I wanted, and for some reason I spontaneously came up with RaneFire. I've been using it ever since, for everything gaming related.

I know there's a 'raneFire' user on deviantart (Who is not me) but we're on opposite ends of the world.
When I found out there were 2 ranefire's I was kinda depressed to find that my nick was no longer unique :cry: but I've been seeing more ranefires and other iterations popping up quite a bit anyway, so I'm not bothered with this whole 'nick-steal' nonsense. Besides there's Rane, rain, and everything else, and there's 100's of these. The only thing that was unique was the 'exact' spelling and that's it. At least I'm the only RaneFire from South Africa. (wow surprise, we even has internets.)

At the end of it all... I picked an arbitrary nickname with a slight spelling difference of 1 of 2 of the most common words ever, but all my gaming buddies past and present know me by it, so I just keep on using it.

A childish name, but I was a child when I thought of it.

S-Fox

It began with Super Smash Bros Brawl when I played it online, I had to think of a name, at first I was very good with Ike, the nickname was only 5 letters max. so I named it
S-Ike (S means Super) actually sounds stupid but whatever.

No long time after that, I was very good with fox( I still am), so I named it S-fox, but call it whatever you want, like S for "Super" or "Star" but for me its just an S that nothing means.

-------------------------------
Fixumi

Actually I use another nickname for games, sites etc. called "Fixumi" which had a better story I think.
Anyway, since November 2010 I became very interested in Anime an my first Anime I watched was Lucky Star, Konata Izumi was(still is) my fave character(also my fave of all anime).
And my most favorite videogame character is Fox(Starfox), so I mixed up the name Fox with Izumi, so it became Fixumi.

I rather call my nickname Fixumi, but unfortunately I cant change 'til I become OSU! supporter, so I can get the possibility to change my name.

Greetz, Fixumi
