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 ^.^ !
my 14 year old self thought that the word "booty" was funny at the time
i regret picking this username

My username is originate from my name . My username is ByBy so my real name is Bianca 
Someone I knew 6 years ago.
My username originated from Vocaloids, like 6 years ago.
I made this name up for WoW when I was 13. Ozzy Osbourne + cool words like rock and the letter Z = easy
I made this username when I was 11 back on ign I really liked the pokemon zoroark but I didn't want my name directly related to pokemon so I made what I thought to be a similar sounding name and I wanted to sound cool so I put an X in my name. The the part of my name implies that i am the only one I guess. jk I don't know
Idk...I first started playing this name called "RotMG"...and couldn't think of a username. So I'm like, ok something random...but random was already taken, so randomqqq ^^
Mine came from my life. it was happy at first...then it went Upside down :C
Yanna -> YannaPi -> YaYaPi
My nickname then added -Pi since it sound cute :3
The effing evolution of my username <3

Well I took the name of Adobe Flash and Adobe Shockwave and sort of shoved them together and yeah
At the time that I had been looking into get a pet Fennec (mainly because their cute and who wouldn't want their own fox) that name was taken however so I basically typed a at the end.
Well, I find almost everything offensive, and it has become an inside joke between me and my friends 
I used the name ColdMattress for everything but i decided that it was kinda boring, i came up with Samuuu and Samukami. It had something to do with the word "cold" in Japanese and relating back to my previous username. I threw in kami cause i thought it sounded cool, idc if it means "god" that wasn't the point. Also i don't speak or write Japanese so i probably goofed somewhere. Anywho, i like my name now, deal with it c8

Kagurachan is a bit boring don't you think?
I wanted to register as ''KagurachanBlue'' but It was very long so I cut it and then I'm called KagurachanB (It's funny because I don't get B rankings)
Also I'm about to become a supporter so maybe I will choose another username with ''Kagura''

Took my Minecraft username. When I read the Warrior Cats series, I based it off one of the protagonists. Was a derp and spelled Firestar wrong. Don't know why I used 1337speak in it, but whatever.

I played a long time ago at Warcraft 3 (2003-2004) and i really loved Taurens.
So my firsst username was Tauren34 and it became after some months toren34.
In 2010 i created an account on League Of Leagends but toren34 was already use so i decided to revrese letters in my name and it became nerot34.
On Steam, nerot was already take so i put some numbers within and n3r0t was born.
The end.
tl;dr : Tauren34 > toren34 > nerot34 > nerot > n3r0t

I found out about Yoshi first while playing Mario Party 4 on the GameCube back in 2nd grade or something and I found it really cute
I outgrew my obsession for Yoshi and it turned into just a love for green things because Yoshi's natural colour is green so by the time I arrived here, Yoshi_green seemed fitting
I never changed my username yet, but if I were to ever change it, Yoshi777 would probably be my choice since that's what I use on Youtube and other games that don't allow underscores in usernames ~

My nick doesn't really have any cool backstory.
I used to change my Steam nick all the time and most of my friends were all the time like "who were you again??" and then I thought that I'd change my nick to something that atleast resembled a word from my language even a bit, and also I had a thing for having a number or two in my nick, so I just kept on thinking about some words and then this just popped into my head.
Finnish people will probably recognize the word from my name.

I chose my username 'Tattoos' because I love the look of tattoos, the feeling of having art on your body just seems really cool. I myself don't have any Tattoos but as soon as I am able to get one, I'm going too. (Hopefully I will have a few in the next few years) :3

Being the weeb I am before, I pick NezuminX01 as my first username here. Months passed, bought a supporter tag
and changed it to my current username here and it's obviously from Touhou. Hatate Himekaidou.
Since someone's already using that, even only Hatate, I decided that why not add -tan in it? (to sound kinda cute? oh gosh lol)
Basically, I suck at naming my usernames ever since I was a weeb. lol.

Wanted to play this shitty browser game as kid a called Dragonfable. Couldn't think of a name so I asked my sister. We just watched the Eragon movie like the other night so she said to go with "Bengon" which was a mix of my name Benyamin and Eragon. I thought the name was kinda lame at first, but It kinda grew on me as I tended to use it frequently as I was bad at naming things. I've used Bengon as username for shit ever since.
my username is just my name, spelled with an 8
edit: my username at this time was "Cl8n"

DothThouHoist: Do You Lift. Was gonna name it DothThouEvenHoist. But i dont like the "Even" there. Doesnt sound that medieval anymore, and i like DothThouHoist, its kind of a characteristic(?)
Syndor means shadow in High Valyrian, which is a fictional language from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and the Game of Thrones series.
Crocidolite Blue is a type of Asbestos. Believe it or not, but, it's blue.

Although everybody pronounces it wrong

My former username was Gurc, which stands for Raven if you write it with a Hebrew keyboard.
new user name (Rise ofcourse) originated from me being called Rize on twitch streams from my twitch username (RizeUpObamama) please ignore the Obamama part, it was from a typo someone made about obama :^) lol
since I couldn't change to Rize yet (someone is already named that), I decided to change it to Rise just to make it more obvious who I was, and my Twitch is now Osu_Rise.
it's kind of a shitty reason but I kinda grew into liking the name more and more over the few months I had it.

Also just using kutoraOsu for Twitter and Twitch because kutora was taken :c

My previous username is Heatwave95. I don't know why the heck I choose this name as my username hahaha. obviously 95 comes from 1995.
and now my name is HeatKai because I wanted to throw those numbers away and that "Kai" comes from another user Sekai-nyan. It's like a combination name between us two. I changed the username to HeatKai years ago. I don't know why I choose this name but I still love it. :3

Long story short, I'm looking for a certain song.
My name originates from my very first email that I made when I was around the age of 9. It's in Swedish and the translation is "big guy 1997", so it's a kinda embarrassing name. If (?) I get support Ill be changing it to Zeptinn which is a nickname I now more commonly use.
Well, my username is basically a nickname my mother gave me when i was little, idk why but she called me benjochito once (my name is Benjamin) and i started using it as my username in videogames.
My username? Just google it *lenny face
Hitorikko = "Only son" in japanese.

"why Lord + Raika?"
Raika as my name, its everywhere ( on lots of forum, game id, character name and stuff )
and Lord, i remember now...
Maybe its since i play Ragnarok Online 7 years ago, my ONLY best character is LordKnight
being ALWAYS the top LordKnight with highest hp, critical and atk while leading whole guild to win a War of Emperium.
also known as the best Frenzy/Berserk type LordKnight >w< , always win 1v1 LK vs LK in Frenzy/Berserk.
People and friend on the guild always said "my lord, milord asdfasfda" smthg like that... ah its sooo nostalgic X_X

My favorite Pokémon. Plain and simple. This and sometimes adding "88" on the end (lucky number) has always been my name whenever Lanturn isn't available. That's why I was previously known as Lanturn88 on here. stupid Lanturn_old
From Neopets (my first online game), to the Nintendo Forums, to MMORPGs like Gate to Heavens/WoW, and every other website you can think of. I've always used Lanturn/Lanturn88
Also, if I ever made a female Character on an MMORPG or something, I'd use Lantina as the name for it. So I guess I kinda have this as an alias too.

just chat with me and you'll notice, lol
^ and dkun shortened this name and made it his?
good-looking letters/characters as the main priority, then somehow it became a mixture of phase and face. pronounce it as you wish or call me Zahp or whatever, lol
Valkyrie. But with another rie because Valkyrie was taken ;_;
My first name is Oliviya, but I 'westernized' it by removing the y. The numbers also bear a meaning.
I had a friend that I would game with a lot. When we first started he suggested our names match in some way. So he gave me Infernocash, and he would use Blazebucks. Been using this name for almost every game ever since.
i just happen to like ninjas... the reason why i added 1 and 4 to my name: "ninja" was already taken.. and the meaning of the number 14 in my country's lottery is "drunk" (i laughed when i realized that.. because i hardly get drunk...) lol
Think it like this, most letters can be replaced with numbers because they resemble them visuallyn1nj4 wrote:

plus i wanted to use a nickname that couldn't be misinterpreted (i used unnAMD in a couple of games..which led into people asking me in-game "are you an ADMIN?" in spanish ...believe me.. it happened a lot of times... even in games that the admin is clearly labled "ADMIN".....)
My former username was "TheRageGamer" (because of my temper while playing osu seriously).
I just took the japanese word for "Rage" and got "激怒" (Gekido). But since someone already took the username "Gekido" I added "-kun"...
Cool story, bruh.
