Offended
Well, I find almost everything offensive, and it has become an inside joke between me and my friends :P
Samuuui
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

KagurachanB
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.

Choke Master_old
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. :D
tl;dr : Tauren34 > toren34 > nerot34 > nerot > n3r0t
Yoshi_green
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 ~
K3la
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.
Hii
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

Kouya-
Well a friend wanted to do a collab and in order to make it official and cool, we changed our "shiety" usernames to the main characters .

The reason why that - is there in my name is because the original is already taken ( and abandoned ! )

So yeah, no more SupaWolfTiga .w.
NicaHime
Nica is my nickname and Hime simply means princess.

I'm one random potato, alright.
Hatate-tan
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. :o
- K a t h -
I don't know o-o I just added to "Senpai" to my name then boom~

Kathleen Senpai has always been my username :D
Bengon
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.
clayton
my username is just my name, spelled with an 8

edit: my username at this time was "Cl8n"
DothThouHoist
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
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
Crocidolite Blue is a type of Asbestos. Believe it or not, but, it's blue.

Crocidolite just stuck, has been my username for everything for many years. looks sexy to me.

Although everybody pronounces it wrong
Rise_old_1
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.
kutora
Mmm Before I was iZomgX3 which was stolen from one of my friends from a long time ago haha.
Uhh after awhile people kept being like "i-... i zom guuuu??" and even I got confused as to how it would be pronounced haha.
Sooo I switched to kutora which originally came from Chris being my irl name into Kurisu and I used a kanji for Ku (Beni) for crimson and I was just like... what's cool.. TIGERS.. THOSE ARE COOL sooo kutora (紅虎)
Also just using kutoraOsu for Twitter and Twitch because kutora was taken :c

HeatKai
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

Zeptinn
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.

mijkolsmith stands for my name cause mijkol is pronounced as michael in dutch
nobody is actually called mijkol in the Netherlands

LordRaika
oh a good thread to answer the common question on my username in osu....

"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

same goes to some of my friend that love Assassin Cross, having the name Cross on the username or X on them >w<
Lanturn
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.

Infernocash
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.
AbsurdDive
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 visually

that.. and.. i was out of ideas.. haha
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".....)
Gekido
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.

froggydojo
Back when I was 10 I was trying to think of a new username for Minecraft (it was 2010 :/) and I had a dream about a Dojo that trained frogs. My OTHER username, Stupid Frog Monster the 3rd, is a combination of about 3 to 4 different names. Frog, being froggydojo. Stupid coming from a story my cousin told me about a bird him and his friends called Guardian Stupid because it would always fall of off the branch it was perched on. Monster came from the picture I use on Steam. I'm not sure where the 3rd came from though, I'm only a 2nd in my family.

FadedLamp
I used to be in a clan on PSN called Faded and everyone was choosing really badass sounding names like Faded_Spirit, Faded_Hunter, Faded_Killa. So, me being me, I ruined the badassery of the roster and went for Faded_Lamp and everyone facepalmed and laughed at the same time. It kinda stuck and now I use it for almost everything.

i got my name from many different MMO's
