'Chamelo' comes from the word 'Chameleon.'
'_Th' is an abbreviation of 'Thailand.' It's just there because someone already used 'Chamelo' (and abandoned it!)
It's also a part of my previous username 'CTs_Th'
That's why people in mafia game still call me 'CTs'
I recall there's once...

Kouya-
Hmm, I was thinking of a super cool username that I would want to make it my main username forever at the time, I guess .
Because, xXRedNinjaXx was such a boring username .
So, I thought of something I thought was cool and I heard the show Supa Ninjas ?
And my two favorite animals is a wolf and a tiger, so I thought of something catchy .
SupaWolfTiga .
I know right ? So retarded >~>

my real life nickname
I use Eniza in other places; I used hikari_eniza here before, 'Hikari' from Netto Hikari in Megaman Battle Network (contrary from the common belief that people get 'Hikari' from girl characters) and 'Eniza' from the reverse spelling of my real name with some letters removed

I got this username, because during the time I signed up for this game I was recovering from a bone fracture which left me crippled for a little while. I'm recovered and still sporting that nickname irl 
Adi -> my rl nickname
cchi -> some random stuff I hear and it sounds fit
and my previous username was adiicf (wanna type adicf but accidently press "i" 2 times)
got that name when I still play Crossfire (on 2009) so I came with the idea and then adicf was born (actually AdiCF) and still use it as my username in a few games / forums / social media

It's my DotA name back then.
GrayKaiser82 was my previous and sheep name, but when i saw myself in the mirror.... I found out I was not a human.
I finally get to know myself as a supercar, a.k.a. "Veyron" (-w-")
Kept the "Gray" due it's my second favorite colour, spaced my two words, boop!

Also added 2 Ys because one is always taken

Ilfri derives from the original name- Ifrit. The goddess of fire & destruction. Changed it up by taking out the T and adding an L... Ilfri is a name I use now for almost every game and also in real life. I have tons of people IRL who call me Ilfri and I love it ^^
My username came from nothing, pretty much

My old username was PCBlossom (Perfect Cherry Blossom) from Touhou 7. I changed it to Cherry Blossom because i found this name funny ^^ (people still think i'm a girl, omg)
because people keep asking me:
back in RuneScape there was a Soul Wars clan for level 120+ players whose generals chose a random side that everyone would join for each game. the goal was that the side with stronger players would almost always win. the clan was hosted by xxdeathx.

Brendan + Friend = Friendan.
It came from a friend because he thought I needed a new nickname (he used to just call me fag/faggot).
So Everyone started calling me that and yeah.
Also you still haven't fought me at Town Center, Drum Drum.

Welp, my name in RL.
About my previous username, TheNutritiousGuy... it's my old name as Let's Player on YouTube which was just a "random" name at this time. At all it became to a pun and weirdly (more) famous in the german community.

Naru - from the same word as the Ghost Hunt's MC's nickname, I chose it because it sounds fun.
20 - my real name if you write it in hiragana and read in katakana.

When I was something like 7 or 8 years old, my brother was playing World of Warcraft, he wanted to show me the game so he created a blood elf paladin and called him Znation and let me play a bit. I kinda kept it for everything, but when that username is taken I use Yukio-san, probably because I watched a few episodes of Ao no Exorcist with my brother, and I like that name so I also kept it and added -san for whatever reason.
If I can't chose too then I take a random japanese name and add something like -chan or -san.
Damn, I realize that I don't have any imagination for names when I read that

Well, Gebba is an uncommon name that i just happen to like. Darkrose is what i came up with when i was young. I had a dark blue rose i found that survived almost a month without resource/supply/water/whatever, so thats how i got Gebba Darkrose. Too bad theres actually a legendary famous guy on a game called ''Tibia'' named Gebba Darkrose too so i kinda seem like a copycat... Although people actually think thats me.
Koodaris is another username i use that was the name of a private server i used to play. I just found it really unique, although i heard it might be a word in some language.
Yalori is one of my most used usernames that i made up by myself. Too bad a friend of mine started calling me Yaoi instead, and told me Yaoi was a shampoo for men. This, i believed for 2 years untill i finally found out what yaoi actually was.
Darkness Syndrome is a new one that i use, which i got from a poem a friend wrote.

I used to play this one game (which has now been dead for a while btw) and I was just like "you know what let's make a weird name" and I got Dainesl in the first instant, not sure why, but I think it was something to do with a daisy (I liked daisies okay ;_;) and a soul (not even sure, this is irrelevant to me but I was bored) and then I decided to add ne, take away ou and I have this (previously my username was Dainesl00 which was stupid so I changed it when I got supp.)

i had Battlespoon as my first name though i stole it from a friend because i never thought i would get so into osu.

On day i don't even remember we had a lesson about the caves and i liked the word stalaktyt(it's a polish word) and i thought that i'm so good that i don't need to check the translation so i came up with the word Stalactic and i was using it till tomorrow when i found out it's actually stalactite and i shot myself.(not a long sentence what are you talking about)
Now i'm dead, thanks for listening.

I had the name of Chinese show Blazing Teens till I began thinking of something waaay cuter.
I HAD to maintain the B and T.
I HAD to use Tenshi.
When I analyzed myself once again, I realized I'm an idiot in situations.
I knew Baka was Idiot (and is Idiot).
I had found the perfect name that describes me: Baka Tenshi.
Only to find Blazevoir saying the name is a reference to Sora no Otoshimono...iirc.
And so I've become the Baka that everyone knows.

7 years ago on Club Penguin, I wanted a cool name. My name for this other sign up thing was "cooldude5555" or something, and I wanted something different. Being 7, I didn't do the best job. These questions were the things that came to mind.
Favourite car! uhm... Mazda?
Favourie name! Matthew! Wait that's my name... Max I guess...
Random word! Stick! PERFECT
I was literally about to make my Club Penguin username "Mazdamaxstick". Luckily, it could only be 11 characters, and I went with Mazdamaxsti. When I was able to change my name, I shortened it to Maz.

My username originated from Club Penguin too!
It was second grade, and during free-time I was showing my class the coolest online game I had just found, Club Penguin. Nobody knew how to register, and one desperately wanted the username "Matthew", since that was his friend's name. I had to think of something. It was my responsibility as the one helping everyone sign up. Eventually I came up with a little number set to add to the end of it, one surely nobody would ever use, 3242. He was now Matthew3242 for a few weeks before abandoning the account. After realizing how great it was, I started slapping it to the end of my name for usernames on everything.
Everything.
Of course, I actually hate usernames with numbers on the end.
3242 (It's thirty-two forty-two, not 3,242!): We start with 3 "3". Subtract 1. Now we have a 2. "32" Go back to 3. Add 1. Now we have a 4. "324" Put another 2 on the end, "3242" because 2+2 equals 4, making some sort of sandwhich?
I was proud of it back then.

One day, I had started playing this mmo called Mabinogi that my friends (who are twins) decided to introduce me to. I had to come up with a username, a cool one because they were older than me, and I wanted to show them I can be cool too. They had cool usernames like : "Inilix, and e..elime?" So I thought: "My name's Sebastian, and I'm a... a man. Yeah that's pretty cool, Seb... a man." I proceeded to name all my usernames for EVERYTHING with the name, Sebaman124.
I have no idea where the 124 came from though.
This was years ago, by the way. Like, 7 years ago. Why do I keep using this stupid name ;~; I wish I had chosen a cooler internet alias back then, hell even for osu!... but it's too late now
peppy can i change my name pls, kthnx
