Mine was a contraction of my name (jeremy) and xbox ( was looking for an gamertag). The time passed and it becames Jeeroox. But i honestly think i'll change it soon. Bored of keeping the same username for 8years :)

I like the letter R.

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.

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.
Lunar Hare
Lunar Hare is an Ayakashi Ghost Guild daemon and my fav card lol

yamane-kurou
Yamane Kurou (山根玖浪) is my character in a story I write with one of my best friends, though Kuro (黒 = Black) has been my nickname for a very long time
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.)

Mine comes from my nickname and part of a way my mum called me as a kid...
Well in fact main reason I picked up this nickname is that Kirby is my favourite smash bros character, cuteness :oops:
(in French coeurbee is pronounced about the same as kirby)
Ekoro
Scintillate
i literally looked in a dictionary.. and tried to find a word that looked cool. this was many, many years ago.

Nyx came from Nyx *anyone interested in Greek Mythology?*

Okoayu
I think I started learning Japanese 2 years ago and then in order to get rid of my old username in League i then took random Kana and combined them until i liked the outcome.

Turns out it misspelled the tsu in okoratsu and forgot the s but whatever i grew to like it.
Veloalopus
I guess you can say it's pretty easy to figure out:
The Chocoboeater from Final Fantasy 10. (I beat the dam guy! xD!)
NeVMiku
My name...huh?

Me and my 4 other friends used to love playing DOTA at internet cafe. At the time a teacher was leaving the school so we formed a 'team' and put NeVe12 in front of everything.

We ended up with something like NeVe12Mo12e, NeVe12d1e blah blah blah.

We played a game against a random group of people and lost.

That was around 4-5 years ago and I kinda stuck with the name having used it on most things that will allow me to.

Eun = flourishing in korean I think
-shrugs- I have no clue why I named myself Eun-Fox but I do love Fox's they're my favorite animals.
Shrik
Mine originated from runescape :P.
Asked my brother for an account name. He said shrik cause sounded like shrek. There was no shrik available so I used shrik11 for 4 years up until 4/5 years ago where I switched to plain Shrik
AdamMZ
My name.
M stands for my first name. Z stands for my last name.
c[[ [ c[[ [ c[[
From good ole Toribash, it started as "imaidiot" because i was really bored so i just made a name and it stuck.

Since then i've done some changes to it, making it into DaIdiot.
Some sites required a number, so i just chose to put a 5 on the end (sometimes 737), making it into DaIdiot5.
Then i got a little tidier in the grammar and made it into TheIdiot (losing the 5 in the process).
And then in a steam group i was in, we had to add an underscore at the end of our names, and it just stuck there.
And here i am. TheIdiot_, in the flesh.

Well...
"Magazine" was my Steam account name (still is), when I played FPS's more (you know, a weapon magazine), then I couldn't bother to change it once I more or less stopped playing those.

The "M8" in my Osu-name though is originated from being friends with some British folk, and since I'm pretty sure a lot of you know that M8 or "mate" is a British way of saying "buddy" etc, I included it in my name because I wanted to and it fit the name... somewhat.

Reileky
Formed my name from the words Electric and Neon.
Even tho most people thought its like a Pokemon name, its not ;-;
GSG95
I used to play Counter Strike 1.6 a lot. And I would almost always pick the GSG-9 player model when playing in the counter - terrorist team. I like that player model so much, I decided to name myself GSG-9. I got bored of that, so I removed the dash and added a 5 at the back. -BOOM- And thus, my username was born!
Illeria
Years ago in a time untold...I read two books quite some time apart from each other. They're called Eragon and Vampire High...

So yeah, I took one elven city from Eragon and the vampire girl's name from Vampire High and boom. Illeria was born.

Poofie
I am a little goofy, and kinda weird.. So few of my friends were calling me Poofie.. So that's why i thought Poofie* would be great ;-;


*Originally it was Poofiecutieface
Eminent
There was a member on a different forum I used to frequent named "Valiant" and I really liked how his name was just a single, yet powerful, word that he chose to represent him. I basically just searched the internet for strong words that I would be okay to represent me and wound up with "Eminent"
[Ene-Chan]
My love for BEMANI
ERA Puzzle
I love Starcraft 2, and back about a year ago there was a pretty relevant player whom I enjoyed watching named Puzzle. I really liked the name, and the idea of a one word name - a lot of Korean sc2 players do this - Life, Flash, Innovation/Bogus, Creator, etc... However, I liked Puzzle the most, and stole the name for myself. T~T Sorry Puzzle. I've been going by that name ever since then, and since Osu was music based, I decided to add the DJ in front of it for fun.

My handle before then was Ahitsu, which was a name I created personally because I liked the sound of it. Nothing special, just my own creation.
Bachia
Bachia Means Bunny on my native language (on Georgian)
Angsul
Angsul, "Ang" and "Sul"
It's my real name "Angga" "Sul bla bla" (look at my profile :3 )
Also my friend call me "Angsul" cause there's 2 "Angga" name in class. :P
Yuuribo
Yuuribo came from two names; Exbo and Yuusari,which is,the name of my OC.
Where Exbo came from Gold's Typhlosion in the Pokemon Special series and Yuusari from Letter Bee's capital in the story.
Combine them up anddd... :D
I got the idea of combining up my OC's name all thanks to Mekaku City Actors[Takane Enomoto> Ene,Haruka Kokonose>Konoha]
Raisha Millenia
My real name, just switching it
Dokixdoki
My kokoro goes dokidoki~ when I play osu!
Therieri
I remember when my nickname first was so original as "the best killer". Then I switched it to Cannoner (which was my friend's nickname so I just copied it... how original). Then I wanted to make own original nickname. I wanted to have word "the" on it. Then I just kept saying different words in my mind and somehow I liked how "Therier" sounded. Even though I didn't know it Therier is some name in French (example).

Because of that I wanted to add one letter end of the name. And since I'm from Finland and for some reason Finns likes to add letter "i" to almost everything I decided to go with it.
daikichi
my guinea pig's name, and gochu.
a1l2d3r4e5d6
It's my first name. Probably not a good idea if you wish to remain anonymous as someone from another community immediately found out my real name.

I'd like to see someone who shares my first name and not it being a surname.
Maus
My name was [Mouse vs Serb], it was a joke with my friends because most conservative Croatians tend to hate Serbians.

Then I played an osu! balkan tournament, played vs a bunch of Serbians and I didn't want to get banned so I changed it to Maus because it's pronounced like "mouse"
kaetwo
My real name is Kay, and I really like the number two, so I thought "Kaytwo". But I didn't like how it looked, so Kaetwo.
budumber
I chose IcyyyHD because winter is my favorite season. I thought Icy looked cool so I chose that. I chose HD bcuz I saw other people using HD at the end of names and I thought it sounded cool with Icy HD. Probably because it rhymes. (Originally my name was ToxicPvP because I used to PvP in mc and toxic seemed cool) Hopefully I would change it to Fuyu if I HAD AN IMPORTANT reason but whatever

Toshi-Kun
I have two usernames that originated to Nintendo series when I was like 6. One for Twitch and one for osu!
A 9-year Nintendo fanboy who doesn't care about Nintendo anymore? xD


I remember I got a twitch name named "StarSupporterLouie" -by picking Toad and Yoshi as a team in Mario Party DS (which their teamname is Star Supporters) and Louie from the Pikmin series.

Now to osu! - Toshi-Kun with no Pikmin , I got it by mixing names with Toad and Yoshi. Because they were my favorite characters of the Mario Series. After a few thoughts, I made it into this short and "Japanese-like" name.

When I began osu!, I typed my username as NintenToshiKun, and it lasted until the day where I feel less original with that username and then here I am.


...Toshi-Kun desu. wwwwww
FarrelArrahman
FarrelArrahman, it comes from the two last word from my full name. Raden Muhammad Farrel Arrahman :)
