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.
guro
.
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.
-[Jess]-
my chinese name+my english name
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

Wow Ali please
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 :)

I would have wanted to put Kazuto JP but I alr used my name change from xpicosity to Mekurukito JP

Back in the good ol days of Runescape I had a desire to reign over all the newbies hence the master part of my name. However the 7 years oldish me thought adding mashme at the end was funny and that I could trick people into making them say master, mash me. I never did become good at Runescape.

Secretpipe
Just writing this again cause some ppl ask it to me :

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
Kodora
Mine is taken from Pokémon, "Kodora" is original Lairon's name (コドラ).

also my favourite one is Relicanth if someone wondering
Rukaru
because I like shinonome urara and I want to use her name but someone already use it. https://osu.ppy.sh/u/urara
originated from : somethingurara -> rukarurara (skype ID) > rukaru. yea
Frikandel
I always used nicknames like Super Fantastic and stuff, and when I started league of legends I wanted to have a random word with numbers to be my nickname.

For some reason I am sticking with it.
Duskyui
Back when I played a Nuzlocke run of Pokemon VoltWhite, I got a Dusclops whom I named "Sir Dusky". I eventually decided to use that nickname for stuff like Steam. I ended up liking that name a lot, so I just stuck with it.

Dellvangel
It's simple: im using Dell laptop, and combinate it with angel, and taraa~~ --> "Dellvangel" xD
Lumo_
It was way back when I was in elementary school and at the time I used to play a game named Habbo Hotel. I made a bunch of friends in the game and got to know some of them a bit better. I had this one friend who's name was FantaC and we used to spent time together a lot just chatting and doing random activities.

I thought his name was cool at the time so eventually I decided to make a new character with a similar name. Since his name had fanta in it, I started thinking about sodas that I liked. Back then I almost always drank Sprite whenever I got soda so I thought it would be a good option. Then of course I had to add the C in the end which made it "cooler". So I tried to enter SpriteC but it was already taken which made me alter the name. After that SpiteC sounded good and I got that in the game.

Since then I have always used this as my username everywhere.
Shabui
I honestly have no idea, tried imputing it through Google Translate Chinese, nothing decipherable comes up, try searching it with "sheep" nothing helps.
Lakia
The 'La'st 'Kira' from Death Note.
Classmate Ei
Well despite the fact that I'm a short asian kid, my name comes from the Nordic derivative of Severus, which means severe. Had no idea until I looked it up just now, I just googled Middle Age names sometime in middle school. Also my old username was AcePhoenix, just two words I threw together that ended up sounding like an Ace Attorney reference. Didn't like that. Especially since I have yet to play one of said games.
HazeL_old_1
From my idol / avatar @crazykart
Frikandel
I always tryharded on usernames, so I decided to pick a random word with random numbers.

Hidden-
Since I'm half Caucasian and Half Native, most of my life always conclude to consider myself as a stranger, I never really felt I had my place when I was younger so the first half came from the Latin Stranger "Xeno". After I was wondering on either I would use "Stranger of life" or "Stranger of death" being a huge debate with myself on XenoVitam or XenoMortem, ended up using XenoMortem because I liked the pronunciation better ^.^ !
