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.Pokebis wrote:

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.

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!

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.

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 ?.?

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.

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

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.
), 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 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.

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

DataCirno was just a temporary nickname while I was thinking better one. Data comes from word datanomi(datanome) and I think Cirno is pretty obvious, though I am not so big touhoufag.
LunaticMara is what I have been using since 2010, just happens to be perfect nickname for me. Because people started to call me batshit insane and crazy, I looked dictionary and found word "lunatic". Then I took my favorite nickname IRL (Mara) and put it next to lunatic. LunaticMara. Still many people calls me as Lunatic (on vent) and really stupid people calls me as Luna, but at least I can understand it.

"But Droney, where did the numbers come from?"
Oh god you don't want to know.
On Neopets I was known as Petguy311.
So then whenever "Powerdrone" was taken, I used Powerdrone311. But Powerdrone was very rarely taken, so I was always known as Powerdrone. Then one day I decided to make an AoM online account... and low and behold Powerdrone was taken. So I used Powerdrone311, then I used it for the AoM forums, then when I was introduced to Ace Attorney Online I kept the numbers, and then to make sure everyone would know me for some reason I kept using those god damn numbers.
Man I'm glad I got rid of them finally. <3

Koromo Amae (天江 衣, Amae Koromo)
Koromo is a second year student and is the ace of the Ryūmonbuchi team. She looks like a little girl who wears a bunny hairband and dislikes people who treat her like a child. Koromo's ability as a player is often emphasized, so much that she is considered one of the three strongest mahjong players, and she is also the key player that brings an end to Kazekoshi's winning streak. Her mahjong playing style gives pressure to her opponents while her ability can prevent them from tenpai.
Because moe magical mahjong is awesome.

My username has been in use for 2-3 years by myself.
Main username:
Time for some arithmetic.
First name Robbie = Ro - bbie = Ro
kodou = Japanese for pulse, but can be translated as drum beat.
To keep the name looking nicer from my perspective... kodo - u = kodo (and incidentally KODO is a Japanese taiko group)
Ro + kodo = Rokodo
Notes:
If Rokodo by itself is not available for the reason that it has been registered already or I am using another IRC connection on the same server etc. etc. I will use one of these:
RokodoRL (real life first/last name initials tacked on at the end)
Rokorz (Roko + orz hybrid - orz is an emoticon of a person kneeling, usually used in frustration or failure)
EDIT: before anyone accuses me of being a weeaboo I initially started using this name as a player name for Taiko no Tatsujin.

Nivalis comes from Latin language I found one day, originating from niv- "snow" + -alia "something associated in a particular area", so "Nivalis" is something related to snowy land.
