I used to have my username as Genius on steam, because I did some stupid things sometimes.
Then at some point I really liked Luminance, but didn't want to change away from Genius, merge the two together and BAM!

I have a pretty boring history of my username ~.~

kathleen180 has always been my username in any other sites, but I had a thought once to add "senpai" to the end,
then poof~ Kathleen Senpai is born >:D
Winter-Fox_old
This is probably pretty obvious but my username is a combo of my fav animal and my fav season.....
mobiusl
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:
Black Wolf159
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.
theramdans
well, this is very personal
'ramdans' is just an abbreviated word from my last name 'ramadhana'
and the- is just a prefix
done
Kitsune-kun
Because foxes are the best, and they are super cute! >w<
Not_Zippy
This. Just this.
Kwinii_old
A lot of people misspelled my real name especially in the virtual world sooo
I just thought I'd type it as it's pronounced to make it easier for everyone then
I just added the second 'i' in there because... I'm kawaii.. like that... (*>w<*)
Boydroid
I like androids, and boydroid has a better ring to it than girldroid. that's pretty much it.
Wisakedjak
From Clive Barker's Jericho. There was Captain Xavier Jones. I regret it, want to change it but... Don't know :/
BeatofIke
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.
Syphist
Many people usually guess syphilis, but I will spare you the guessing game. It came from mashing the words sapphire and fast together and changing up the vowels. It's also pronounced sigh-fist if you care about that.
Sya
from my mind. Just thought about a good username and welp kinda came up with that name.. dunno how though
Tascar
I used my main username which I first used in RS.
Trauter
That is something even i don't know.

Heterozygous_old

TakuMii
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
blackenanan
from the word "sparkle"
then a online friend of mine gave me the nickname sparky...
WatashiAkashi
Two characters from The Tatami Galaxy, also watashi is I in japanese.

Lol, I always thought before, that Kimchi was something that would make my mouth burn on fire and would taste pretty bad when I was little .

But, I actually enjoyed Kimchi a lot when I actually tried it and I'm still loving it ^~^

oh the same case as Louis Cyphre ;)
but its Lucifer actually...
Tacky
In the past i've used the Username 'Takie' a lot and it originated from me typing out random syllables from the names of different friends and later on it moved on to people calling me a hipster and literally someone calling me a very 'Tacky' person, so there it is.
KazmiSain
My username comes from my rl name.
Last name : Kazmi
First name: HusSain

RedKing
My name was simply a combination of things.

1. Fav Colour is Red
2. I have red hair so why not.
3. Mainly its suou mikoto from K Project. Was going to name myself ThirdKing but RedKing was available so i chose that :P
KagamiHRS
The username came from the following:
1. Kagami Hiiragi
2. Yui HiRaSawa
As for why, it's meant to roughly resemble my personality of either... And the HRS initials is for a sake of space.
raww_old
thought it sounded cool when I was making a warcraft 3 bnet account about 7 years ago, and I just stuck with it since, lol

I got my username from Touhou. :) (it's pretty obvious though.)
Laura Lovely

Dazdy_old
My original username and my name for most online games I play is Dazdalolz, which I just thought of myself. A friend on another game I play gave me the nickname Dazdy, so I decided to change my name to it.
Birdy
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.

Lewd_old_1
My original username on here, Hysere, was a mixture of my name and a friend's, and I changed it to Lewd because it's a word we say a lot.
Top Bunk
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.
HaruryuuSan
Of all the Japanese names, I liked Haru. Harumi was suggested by a friend of mine. ^^

I like the letter R.
Helicidae
Was playing Mann vs Machine with 4 friends, while in queue for a few eons(It had just come out, so there were 15 minute queue times), I started changing me steam username to stupid stuff like Chuck Norris or Chicken Nugget, I eventually set it to Prime Number, realised that was actually waaay cooler than my current username at the time, and just stuck with it.

Scarlet is Flandre-Remilia "Scarlet"

Old username:

Nerd (Angry Video Game "Nerd")
Fare (Turkish Mouse word. And i used animal name.)
Lhijn
neji comes from naruto, eventhough i don't really like neji in the storyline, his name is absolutely amazing imo. but, i'd still prefer the japanese writing ネジ just looks better. and the the rset is just formality and intruduction.
slithien
the Slitheen from Doctor who
-sev
Nikku is the nickname I go by and I just stick -mi at the end because I like the sound of it.
billy96
You can probably guess it by now.

If you haven't, Billy is my real nickname and 96 is a shortened 1996, my year of birth.
Toukai
Self-explanatory
Cold
my hands get really cold often, and i thought the name looked cool
Nekolike
miori from nagi no asukara
Mayushima
A shortened form of what people usually call me on the internet. I got 'Kyo' when i was really young when i started playing Monster Hunter(Great Game, I recommend to everyone), so i stuck with it as it is actually kind of nostalgic to me.
iMP3RiU5
When I was younger, I played "World of Padman" with one of my friends, and there was this secret OP weapon, the "Imperius". So then I was like "OMG, i'm such a l33t haxx0r", and yeah, now it's iMP3RiU5 ^_^
Inori
A guy named PrivRyan suggested this name.
lemonguy
Took my fraternity name 'Stick Shift' and came up with Shxfted on Xbox 360 originally, because Shifted was already taken.
Factorial
My real name Leo Neil Xxxxx
Asada Shino
I think most people know where my name is from but for those who don't it's from Sword Art Online. Glad I read instead of watch :D

The name in my signature is what I use in most other games.
Renevant
I spelt revenant wrong, which originally came from ghosts in runescape. I made the mistake 3 years ago with my LoL account and have just been using it for everything, well aware of the misspelling.
Paco
It started when I wanted pacman as my GT on xbox 360 long time ago then it went pacmai > PaCzZo > and Now I use either Paco or Pacolito.

Don't really know how I came up with them
Irino Kurai
My name is very complicated...

Raining came from my love for rain. As when it rains...... I dance under the rain O.o
Ventus is from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep... It means Wind in some ways i can't remember how but thats how Ventus came about...
(as i liked ventus from the very beginning... haha)

Thats how RainingVentus came about... and i love this name~ :)
Xtrmite
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
Zalaria
It's the name of one of my female dragon characters from a story I wrote (of which the name was completely thought of on the spot lol) I thought it sounded nice ^^
CsavarNat16
When I was creating my twitter account long ago, the name actually was CsavaróNat16. For some reason, the ó was cut from the name and become the name that I use now. It was taken from csavaró/ò(?) (i forgot lol) from my favorite character's name with twist, nat is my OC, 16 is my favorite number. :D
djjsixpack
I've used djjsixpack as a login info since 2003 for various mmos over the years. I was doing the same thing for this game and thought you could pick your viewable name like a summoner name on LoL, but you can't lol. So I never bothered to change it. Tbh I wouldn't even know what to change it to even if I did.
buckiehero
i thought of buckler, then it evolved in to buckie :D
Her
I was reading a H.P. Lovecraft novel awhile back and the name Azathoth stuck with me. Years later when I was trying to remember the name, I remembered wrong and thus, the name that nobody can seem to pronounce Yagzathoth was born
byfar
idk

probably gonna change soon

to some twitch emoticon maybe

then regret it

Secretpipe
Secretpipe , Secretpipe hmmmmm...

Never explained the origin but well , it's time.
Prepare some sandwiches and some pop corns :D

About 4 years ago , I was a huge Nintendo fan ; I mean : When a Zelda game is available , I'm buying it. When a Mario game is available , I'm buying it and so and so
It was like a drug xD And had this since I was 6
Let's return to the topic , the origin of the nick. First of all , it was in 2011 I think

It was a sunday , holidays just began. I was only play New Super Mario Bros DS, a classic game but I was focused on train speedrun stuff. This day , I played around 5 hours and I was still training ! And then , I received a call : It was one of my best friend , he asked me if I wanted to sleep on his home for 1/2 days . Guess what was my reaction , I was really happy but then my mom arrived. She told me to revise my English first cause a travel to England will come soon. I agreed with her and if you really know me , you know that I'm a lazy ass. I just opened a dictionnary and searched Mario's vocabulary like pipe , world , mushroom , turtles and others things. Once done , I'll go on my friend's house and I continue my speedrun training xD Yeah , my friend invited me cause we liked do speedruns in solo xD


After playing , around 21 a.m, dinner finished , my friend ask me one question : "hey bro , wanna register in a special Forum ? It talks about Nintendo and futures games". And I think you guys know my feel when I can't find a nick already used LOL . Here , my friend said :"Go take a shit name , it's only for register lol"
But I'm not okay with his idea , so I decide to search an idea of funny nickname. I tried to think what I made this day and link it directly with Nintendo.

And then! DING! I thought that the secret pipes / warp zones was reallly important while you do a speedrun. I tried warppipe but I thought it was a shit nickname xD Then I thought that Secretpipe would be better but my friend said it'd be nsfw xD So I thought ppl won't be idiot and I took that name !

And there we go , since 4 years ago I use this nick :D I used to take this nick on Youtube / Twitter / Steam ...and Osu!

I hope that your mind isn't blown anymore xD
Dracool_old_1
My name goes way back. When I was very young like 6 years old I wanted to be a DJ. My name since then has always been Djmike although what is on the end of my name has changed a lot. First started at runescape my first game. I put Djmike but as to be expected it's taken so they gave be djmike070284. After that it then became djmike070 when I made a YouTube account. Then it became djmike010 when I started playing roblox (I was 8-9 at the time). Then on world of Warcraft you couldn't have numbers in your name so it became Djmikes since I see people putting random stuff at the end of their names. Then finally I thought s looked a bit weird so I changed it to z and ever since 2011 my name was Djmikez. Quite a story.
Andrus
My Name is Andrej/Andreas
Im Russian

Andrej/Andreas+Russian=AndRus

Andrus is taken everywhere, so just put "-owski" behind it, why not. Sounds russian/polish

BOOM
Andrusowski
JayKayVT
My name comes from a conversation I had on Steam with a friend. I'm always a kidder and never take anything serious, and one day he just randomly introduced me as "this is my jk-senpai" to a friend because I was always making him laugh. I changed it to be JayKay because saying jk on a forum or in a chat usually means you are kidding and so it would be easier to differentiate name from text talk. I tend to use "-Senpai" on more social media sites and "Gamer" on games or game websites. Not an interesting story at all.

AgrarianSkyX
Mine came from a Minecraft modpack called Agrarian Skies :P I changed Skies to Sky and decided to add an X on the end cause why the hell not ;)
Midget
I'm very short for both my age and my countries average height. Also a lot of nouns in my country end with -as so I just ended up with ''Midget-as'' :D.
Mandrias
So a long time ago I started to get addicted to MMOs, not as addicted anymore but I still play them a lot, so I made up 6 names for characters (3 Male names and 3 female names.) These names were ones I made up and are usually the only names I ever use.

I decided that out of my 6 names I go by I needed to pick one to be known by on websites and also just to have one name for all my accounts to make life easier(Having to attempt to log into websites 4-5 times because you forgot what name you used is annoying.) So I used the name of the character I was playing at the time in Dark Ages of Camelot and added an 87 to the end of it because it was an account name and I figured it would probably be better to put numbers at the end of it just because it's an account name not a character name.

Now I use it everywhere. Lately I've been leaving the 87 off of it when people can actually see the account name. For Osu it doesn't really matter though because I suck so bad that no one will notice anyways except in this thread. :D


( If I make it to the top 20K I might change it to "Mandrias", but I just don't feel the need to get better anymore so I just kinda play songs I find fun right now so that's probably not happening.)

Well in fact main reason I picked up this nickname is that Kirby is my favourite smash bros character, cuteness :oops:
