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.

I was (er, am) on a Mega Man high. My name is one of the moves from X8, one of the games I seem to like best...

My Steam name was just a name I thought up when I thought "My previous usernames have been ass. Think up of a cooler one." A bit of a prefix later, and there it is.

I like nature, that's all

EDIT: I guess I could go into more detail with this

When I started playing MKWii competitively I wanted to come up with a name that sounded kinda unique, something you wouldn't see everyday. And Tree's what I came up with. Since Tree used a lot as a username I use "Treekii" everywhere else, which is kinda a play on "Tricky"

I have a stupid one.

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 :D

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

Ever since i was young, i loved airplanes and fighter planes. I came across a game called Air Combat for the PS1 when i was young. I really loved it. some years later i found out that there were more games from the series. the Ace Combat series. the games are now called ace combat but the first one was called air combat. so yea i quickly got myself some ace combat games. in ace combat 4, youre an ace pilot called 'Mobius 1'. It was my favourite ace in the series. so I started to name myself Mobiusl on the webs. the L behind it is the first letter of my name. after some issues with google I had to call mysf Mobiuslau. Lau are the first 3 letters of my name so it makes sence. so i called myself Mobiuslau on basicly everything. but i decided to go with Mobiusl for Osu C:

I regret of this name today because I get a new username and I can't change it

It's originate from White Wolf (WubWoofWolf now) Because he was one of the player that I see in osu when I started to play it.
I wanted to put a similar name like him and came "Black Wolf" but other player al ready had that. Then,I choose a name with numbers and here I am. After to think it a lot of days, I knew that I want a original name so... Maybe some day when I have support, I change It to other name.

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 late 2009, when I started to adapt this name in the forums (KeyBeat Online) 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, Beato, or simply Ike as my short name.

My username rhymes with my actual name, and I guess I was having fun when I first made the name?
Anyways, I first used it on GBAtemp (a Nintendo-related forum) in 2009, and has since been my go-to name for cutesy and/or light-hearted games (and eventually, pretty much every game).

But recently, I've actually started to grow attached to the Japanese name 拓海 (takumi, translates into "open sea"), and have been using it for some VNs (voice-acted or otherwise) that require you to input a character name. There have been times where I felt the name "YayMii" was unfitting for the type of person I was, but other people have helped me realize that I was just being melodramatic and overly depressed... I'm past that now, but I still would not mind renaming myself to TakuMii if it weren't for the fact that other people have expressed a liking to my username :P

I just randomly came up with it 2,5 years ago on a random night. It sounded "really fresh" when I was 15. Thanks, me.

I guess I originally started using it as my new musical project's name, too, when I drifted away from Hardcore, Breakcore and all that unmusical stuff into stuff like Liquid Funk and Chillstep and later Downtempo and Ambient. Really soon when I was thinking about a name in here after getting my first supporter tag, I thought HEY why not. That's better than using like 5 different names around the web, like I do nowadays, huh.

My username originated from my 11 year old mind from 11 years ago and I've stuck with it everywhere I go. Just how much of a disturbed child was I to even come up with such a name? The world may never know. Oddly enough, it seems to be a common username for whatever reason (like seriously, type "Slasher" in the username search and tons of Slasher[#] names appear). I don't like numbers in names though, so on more populated sites I just tack on ZX to the end because those letter are rarely ever used.

...I need a username change at some point.

Since my name on this forums has no actual meaning, I will be talking about where my most used username: "Poop2heaven" originated from.
This story is quite similar to a story the Youtuber Penguinz0 has told.

So I was sitting in class in elementary school, and we got an assigment which was: Draw something that has to do with religion.
And then all of the sudden I realised I had to fart (Mind you I was very young when this happened) so as anyone with common sense, I casually let out the fart..... Aaaaaaaand you can probably tell what happened afterwards (Not going to go into detail because that would probably make you vomit over your screen)
And then the friend who was sitting next to me back then, just randomly decided to tell me this a couple of years later.
Hence the name: Poop2heaven
