Technically, my full online name is "Neo 2.3 Hylan-May", but the 2.3 bit wasn't allowed in the username input. Nonetheless, I shall include its origin.
For a full history, I'd have to explain my previous username.

So:
"Neo"
The name I used before this one was "Neotails8762"; being a fan of the Sonic franchise, Tails was my favourite character, and 87 and 62 were my "lucky numbers": 87 I have no idea why and if you count from 1 to 62, you'd reach 100 syllables. I was bored. The "Neo" part of it was taken from another user from another forum I go to. Everyone there pretty much called "Neo" for short, so when it came to change my username, I just used that as a first name.

"2.3"
Originally, I was just "Neo 2.2 Hylan"; Neotails8762 was actually a fancharacter of mine, my "author character" if you may. "Neo 2.2 Hylan" was a complete redesign; he underwent (at the time) a minor change in look. Author Character #2, design #2 = 2.2. The main reason I changed it from "2.2" to "2.3" was to take the mick out of the film "The Number 23", but I saw it was time to make a slightly newer version of the character, and he became version 2.3. He's currently at design version 2.5, but to be honest, I can't be bothered in changing it. I'll often change to take the mick out of various things (examples include "2.007" when New Year's Day 2007 arrived; "25:38" because it takes 25 minutes 38 seconds to walk from home to work (which I know because a song I have on my iPod is exactly that length and it managed to play all the way through))

"Hylan-May"
Now, I'm not releasing any more personal details about me than I alread yhave, but I have Scottish backgrounds, being 1/4 Scottish (my surname being of Scottish origin also). When I was thinking up a "surname" for the new author-character "Neo" (see "Neo"), I tried using some sort of variation on my surname. None of them worked, so I thought of something Scottish. I'm also a fan of the band Queen. What's Scottish and is related the band Queen? Why that old movie "Highlander". Note the first two syllables: "Hylan".

Now this is where it gets a little wtf-inducing.
The "May" part is from another fancharacter of mine that coexists with the "Neo Hylan" character; her name being "Tiara May" (and no, she's not based on anyone in particular before anyone says). I began writing all this complex backstories for all the characters I have, tying them in with each other (Including "Neotails8762"; again, see "Neo"). They end up sharing surnames with each other, becoming "Hylan-May" (because it sounds catchier than "May-Hylan"). I won't go into too much detail. After all, I'm fairly new here; I don't want to give myself a bad impression.

-----------------------

And that's the full origin of "Neo 2.3 Hylan-May". If you managed to read all of this, you'll agree I can put way too much thought in these sort of things. (considering my first ever online name was and I'm not joking "baconsandwich", because I couldn't think of anything creative)

I typed my already Japanese name into a Japanese name generator.

Then I decided to use it for no good reason.

It starts with Nikola Tesla.

Then we scroll to Guild Wars, where I need a last name for my noob character. I decide on Teslavi, basically just adding six to the end of Tesla. ('cause five's not enough, and seven's too many)

Occasionally when signing up for sites, I reverse my nick.

To make problems clear, my name is completely random without any meaning(no meaning of ignore me contained). It's just that I use this name everywhere, so I don't feel like changing it in osu.

This has been my primary handle for about the past five years, ever since I started playing the oboe.

Used to be novasod. Then someday in late 2005 I came up with 'Ekaru' randomly and started using that. Sue me.

Ace's were always my favorite cards in the playing deck. Plus, it sounded cool!

I chose Wynd because my fave element is Wind.

nyaongyi is "cat" in korean.
...how.. very original. -_-

Wind isn't an element.

I faced Metal Mario in the original Super Smash Bros. singleplay, and thought he was awesome. I've been using this name in many places (not all) ever since.

I only use the 201 sometimes, like if my name is taken or if it's more of a "utility" type login, like for a video game.

The 201, itself, was randomly generated by WinMX when I entered my username. (It always appends a random number to a username which doesn't already end with a number.) I've been using it (whenever using a number) ever since.

The origin of my username is confidential. No one must know, for it is a weapon with destructive powers greater than in your wildest dreams.

Seven, probably eight years ago, when I moved from living with my mom to my dad, we got our internet connection from AOL, had to come up with a username for an email, was pretty stupid. But anyways, the two of us spent like an hour trying to come up with something not completely stupid or ugly. Eventually he made the suggestion to having something relating to me being such a gamer, giving things like "Nintendofreak" and other similar names. Which I really, really didn't like. Well, after pondering over names for a while longer I eventually settled down and, although not particularily fond of it, went with An64fan, which was an available username. Grew to love it, and have had it as my main username ever since.

Have a few alternate names I've used over the years, as well.

-Eska (What can I say, it's my name)
-Chais (was the name of my fav. chao on SA2B)
-Skyreal (Second main-level name, use it frequently, derived from the name of my first major Naruto OC, Skyreal Mokuro)
-Mokuro or MokuroS (Again, derived from my OC, though this is just a few miscellaneous cases)
-Akehoshi (translate the meaning of my real name into Japanese, and you get this. Third main-level name. Also happen to have an OC with the same name, no immediate relation though)
-LyzaraKitsune (my Youtube username. Had been playing MapleStory at the time, and came up with it there)
-Houkou-NRL (my deviantART username. The houkou is a mythical five-tailed dog in Japan. Love Japanese mythology. Favorite band happens to be No Regret Life. Tagged the two together, viola!)

is just my name

Ashura is a kind of demon in japanese but i just knew that this year ; i came up with that name 3 years ago. The 43 is just a number that I see realy often because of many coincidences.

oh hai gaiz i see u have a nice thread going on heah time 4 meh to ruin it with a huge post

Todesengal is a misspelled version of "Todesengel", which is German for "angel of death". I was reading a Newsweek article talking about the Columbine killer (or some school shooter), and apparantly he had played online games with the username "Todesengel".

So I decided to be a douche and use "Todesengel" to see if anyone caught the reference. (no) But since I'm a dumbass, somewhere along the line, an 'e' was replaced with an 'a' and no one corrected me for about three years, when I looked it up in a dictionary.

So if you see "Todesengal", it's probably me. Though I usually go by "Todesengal" or "Plumpy". You don't want to know the origins behind Plumpy.

OH YES YOU DO.


THAT'S PLUMPY.

my name is from naruto:P im not a big fan of the anime or manga but i like ninjas^^

I really like to play this game called Audition.
And its a game where you have to use the keyboard.
SO I called myself Keyboard in this game.

Genius

"Kool Kid Joe" - signing up for Geocities while presumably drinking Kool Aid. Condensed to "KKJ" for my embarassing runthrough on SMBHQ.com, but noted the name looked kind of similar to a certain American organization, so... it became K2J (as in 2 being a subscript) afterward.

Your name is based on the Smash Bros. version and not the Super Mario 64 version? You suck.

My friend showed me this site. I typed in my first name, it gave me "Seibei Chiaki-san", and since my very first username "killerkitten4211" was a piece of crap and got me confused for a girl a lot, I used seibei_chiaki_san4211 as my Yahoo name, but it was too long, so I shortened it to Seibei4211. Now that's my username for everything.

Oh, perhaps I should explain 4211, too. So my dad had a spot in Public Storage and we'd go there every now and then. So I was young and asked him about the code thingy and he said he got to pick it and stuff, so I asked him what it was. He said 4211, so I, naturally, asked why. He said that whenever he did something his step-dad said not to do or something, his step-dad would say, "I told you forty-two eleven times not to do that!" etc. So I just started using it since it's a unique number that almost no one else would ever use. EXCEPT ON YOUTUBE, GOD DAMMIT. (If you search for Seibei4211 on Youtube, that's not me, unfortunately.)

Many moons ago (about 5-7 years ago), I was browsing for a cool name to use for a character to roleplay with. I used to be an IRC junkie, always looking around for free-form Role-Playing. Anyways, I eventually found "Shourai" which means "near-future" so I decided to look for something that made it sound even cooler. After a couple searches on a translation dictionary thingy, I found "Hitoshirenu." The word hitoshirenu was described as something like "unseen" so I thought hey, "unseen future" sounds pretty cool. And thusly, my name was born. Been using it on and off ever since~

I've been through a lot of names for various games, forums, and other stuff, and this name is one that finally stuck. Besides, I've never seen anyone else with a name like mine, so the originality factor sticks. ^^

well i loved the series of wario games and wario loves to eat garlic
after the idea of garlic i added super in front of it so it wont be bland
i now use it for almost all games :O

im a loser

Wario is cool...

I thought you got it from Zatch Bell...

The aa part of aafang came from my name
The fang part came from K.E.E.P.

Four years ago, back in middle school, I ate potatoes for lunch a lot, and my group of friends dubbed me "Spudman" for no specified reason, and ever since, I've been using it. Short and sweet.

I like potatoes too.
...Just as long as they don't have cheese on them.

Cheese is good on many things, just not on potatoes. That spot is taken by gravy.

Not much explaining Just used the name of a game and it's famous energy eating alien.

I prefer the in game enemies then Samus herself and that's why I play the game.

I'm also called Metroid fan and Haloman117
Haloman117 -> Reference to my IGN for Maplestory as I was majorly playing Halo3 ALOT.
Just for record If my Maplestory character were a actual kid with knowledge of magic I'd have him called Max Halo.
I try to draw him but I fail at that. Best I've drawn is side views of random starships I can think of.

Here's a pic of him.

Ew, Maple Story...

Well, I think kimonos are awesome and one of my favorite colors is red.

When I was a noob on the internet, my name was RealYoshi, most lame name ever. And when I tried to register on another forum, it said someone had the same name. I was like
"What? But I am the Real One!" Then I thought "RealOne" sounds kinda cool. So I started using it. So I havebeen using it for 7 years now. <_<
You may find me in all kinds of games and forums under the name of Real1, Real0ne or RealOne.

japser from the twilight saga

got mine from Ranma 1/2, a funny anime/manga ^^

Oooh, I never ranted about me.

Well, you know the obvious, but I got the name because I'm better at Mario Kart than mostly any other game (probably not platformers). I'm addicted to drifting; I can't keep my finger off that power slide button. I only snake against computers and fellow snakers, but I try not to. I still don't know why I like Yoshi so much. It wasn't SMW, even though he was awesome then. I used Wario in MK64 for a while, so I dunno. SMSunshine was a terrible game. Maybe I'll never know the true time origin of my SN, but oh, well. =P

I have every MK game except Super Mario Kart on the SNES. Stupid orange juice... Hopefully, a VC version will show up.

MK64 is awesome. Yoshi is awesome.[/donebragging] GBA MKSC sucks.

I'm good at making Korean nicknames.
But English user- nickname is hard to make.
I didn't want to think anything about English nickname.
So I used my real name.
By the way, I <3 my user-name!

*Bumps this topic*

lol Tales of the Abyss

Mystearica Aura Fende -> Tear Grants.

Should've been obvious enough .-.

Uh

MegaMan Battle Network of course

I started using this name like 7 years ago and have been too lazy to change it even though I haven't touched a MMBN game in probably 3 years

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, one of my favorite bands.

super market.

BAM!

Hmm I thought I posted in here already...

Well it all started when I first joined Gaia Online. I think I found about gaia online from Neopets because I used to RP a lot back then. I thought Gaia Online would be fun to try so I did. I ended up going for the cybering stuff involving other guys back then but then I found out there were better things to do. I just choose the name because I thought I wouldn't be on Gaia Online for long. I think the "ani" comes from anime or animated. "mask" would come from...me trying to be anonymous.

There's the history.

If you play on my friend's server it will also eliminate the faggotry that could be compared to your website in which you originated from.

How much time does it usually take?

The game goes on from like 10 pm to 6 am game time. How long each hour can take is decided before the game starts. The default is 5 minutes to an hour, but my friend usually chooses 8 minutes for reasons I completely and utterly forget.

My name is pretty simple to me, i think ?.?

So the Mitten part came from cats, im a furry and my fursona is a kitty, and half the kittys I ever saw had mittens,
So I declare myself to be the master of Mittens =3,
and "zz" idk were that came from I might have just typed it by accident o-0?

I haven't posted in here yet?

Derekku = My name, Derek, but in Japanese

Chan = cute Japanese suffix

I'll play but how does the game actually work...gameplay wise...or are you gonna just send me a link for me to read?

I was 7 years old, I was trying to think out a nickname for use on games and the internet etc.
Well I was eating nachos, and well I was just gonna call myself plainly Nacho, but I had to add something to make it more unique, I just saw my stuffed piggy pillow and well yeah, you guessed it, combining them results in NachoPiggy, and well, I still kept the name throughout the years.

I want to see pics of this pillow

Thief>tieff.

lolwut?

When I joined a site, it was the first time I ever joined a site and I thought of "rust" for some reason and thought it sounded cool. It was already taken and it suggested "rust45", I took it and then it just stuck with me for some reason.

I found my old user name stupid (which I will not name because it is to dumb) and decided I needed a new one one that was original, looked good on paper, was short and also sounded good and so I tough of qlum this was about 3 years ago

First a long time ago i pressed some random letters on wario Ware (the original one) and and well i got XGOR (and when i didn't used it more than that game i liked that name)

Then some years later i was joining Runescape i suddenly remembered my name on Wario Ware and used it but it was taken so i took super xgor

And after that i used Xgor on pretty much every site i joined and when that didn't work i using Realxgor (if you find someone with the account name Xgor but don't seems like me please post )

Basically i just threw together wapanese syllables because I was a fucking weeaboo so hard a couple years back. That's not really how I got the name but it's pretty believable.

I originally wanted Lily but I assumed it'd be taken (it wasn't, at the time, and I regret it ), so I added a "ko" to it.

mines quite simple, i wanted the name Zartan for some online game i dont remember, it was taken, so i changed the first A to an O.

A long time ago, I tried to make an account on YouTube. No matter which name I chose, it said "nome de usuário não disponível" (username not available). I said screw this and tried to write nomedeusuarionaodisponivel, but that exceeded the character limit and I ended up with this weird thing.

And then some time later I found osu! and was bored and used this stupid name to create an account on it. Then I saw peppy's announcement saying something about only one account per user and decided to stay with this.

I'm also too lazy (or uncreative, actually) to think up another name and try mailing peppy to change it.

I don't think I need to explain this, but...xD

For anyone that played Final Fantasy VII before, the question is answered. xD
For those 3 people around the world that doesn't know the game...go and play it XD

I liked the name Kid Cuddi, so I just used Kid Eddie. 1501, that's my locker combo.

aba <- word created by me for my English name.
lee <- family name

so it is simple, it is my true name.

A long horrible story none of you would care even remotely about.

But it does tie in with Naruto.



So there. XD

Agent Spin Here! is what Spin says when you select breezin' on EBA.
Like you didn't know that.

As for why I chose it, I have no idea. I wanted an EBA name and that was the first thing I thought of.

This is the forth generation of my cyber life.

Illuminist is from my new email; illumina-ova. I though I got this word from the version of modified Windows; Illusion.

Name!

Really? Your name is Cheery?

My real name is Sharon... The chinese name is Ho Shuet Man
I chose "Saturio", I do not know why... I write a random name here XD...

My username on the surface is from the dot.hack// series, as Azure Kite was a character in the game/anime series.
the _ is there cause it can be
if it were to be dug further, the last part of my name is Kyte, from Kytes, the wizard wannabe fag in FFXII.
Azure also means Sky Blue, so I always think of my username's meaning as Sky blue_Kyte, or something like that.

Wow. Even I had no idea I'd put that much thought into my name...

Bagno (Polish) - Swamp.

Turpin is my much heralded name, and 2009 describes something to do with the lunar calendar, although I cannot quite decide what exactly...

Doomsday - no meaning really, seemed pretty cool at the time. kinda generic now, but whatever
93 - birthyear, 1993

i was thinking of changing my main nick, since this one seems a bit generic, but i thought, forget it, everyone knows me as Doomsday93 so im gonna stick with it

The origin of my name was a spark of inspiration from Panasonic (so yea, that's the reason why #chinese calls me battery. To be exact, the single name of Pasonia was Panasonic - na - c + a, and I began using that name on Neopets.

I used to call myself sonic_1988, but that sucked so I disassociated myself with that nickname fairly quickly.

Seltia Keros (as seen on my fanfiction site) is actually a middle/last name I devised for Pasonia whom I began to see as my alter-ego. It was supposed to mean "swordsman of the seven winds"and is supposedly originated from the lost language of Glastheim (the same city from Ragnarok Online). In games and offline profiles where I can have a fairly long name WITH spaces, I usually put Pasonia Seltia Keros or place the S.K. in front.

guess mine its not so hard

Gladi -> Gladiool -> GladiOol.

Oh, I haven't posted mine yet.

Basically I suck at making usernames, so after sitting there trying to think of one for 10 minutes I typed in an emoticon I like using. Bam.

I actually don't even use the emoticon anymore because it just seems weird to me now.
