Improv
I originally thought of it when i was watching family guy a couple years ago.
It was the episode when quagmire was doing Improv and more unfunny stuff. At the time i was also looking for a alias to be known as, and as any 12 year old would do I took the chance and took the stupid name of "Improv". Acting without a skit.

I kinda regret it.

Um, I'd wish to change. Anyway, my usernames comes from my real last name.
It's a "no-spaced" last name be my username. ._.
Dovahguiin
Please look at my avatar... now look at my name.
"Thank you for the explaination!"

Ah well, it was a name I made up when playing Dillo Hills 2, where I made the Penguin character wear a helmet that looks a lot like the one known from Skyrim.
(The avatar is taken directly from the game, actually.)
Thus, the Dovahguiin was born and has so far been seen in several universes and dimensions.
Mafuuu
A nickname my online friends gave me since I have scarf fetish an addiction to anime characters sporting scarves.

Mafuuu = Mafura = Muffler/Scarf

My username is from my last name, which will not be disclosed, but my last name is very hard to pronounce and people just wound up calling me Paz, because those are the first three letters of my last name. Then Paz turned into Paz the spaz because I have ADHD and I'm very spastic. Lo' and behold: PazTheSpaz

if you got this name from friends, its a surprisingly cute one.
if you didn't get it from friends, it could turn into a pretty nasty thing. I guess its the former though, since you voluntarily chose to use it here?

Regarding my name: It came from a discussion about rails, I shit you not.

Yes, your guess is correct, it did come from friends. It actually came from my 3rd grade math teacher who miserably failed to pronounce my last name ;)

What was the rail discussion about? lol

Elusion

DakeDekaane
Dake Dekaane is the name of one of my alter egos, used on a "small" story I was writing (and haven't finished :().

How did I create that name? I'm going to be honest and just put random sylables in my head, then the name formed itself, probably my obsession with names beginning with the D letter played a role there? idk, lol.

And in case you're wondering, it's spelled Dake as in sake, and Dekaane as dekaa-ne.
FlyingNeko
I got my name from a guy I met on chatango 5 years ago this is what happened:

FlyingNeko: Hey
Me: Hello
FlyingNeko: How you doing?
Me has left the chat

I proceeded to use it on every account then. I don't know. It's just... The original is probably wondering right now why "FlyingNeko" is taken on every site he goes to
Ayesha Altugle
I have recently changed my name now so here's why.

Last March 23 2015, one of my students told me to play Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed (Akiba's Trip 2 in Japan) and for some reason, I changed all my avatars to the one I have right now. Her name is Shizuku Tokikaze (刻風雫)

As for the hyphen (-) at the end of my username, it is because I really wanted my name to be inspired from the banned account Shizuru-. :)
burningpipe
mine is self explanatory ?
BrightPolaris
I used to study stars for fun :D because I had nothing else to do besides watching anime
So.. ya' know.. Polaris - North Star .. Bright means.. well.. bright.
Antiforte
The World God Only Knows.

As for my original name...
You see, it's a bit complicated.
Back then (and even today, but not to that level before), I had a really big imagination for things I like.
And this one thing I liked was a certain anime. For that reason, I decided to create something based on the complicated stuffies of that anime, a new "system" that would surpass the canon "system", basically the power of the characters. And I named it "Instrument Ceremony".

Then when I found osu!, I wanted to be called "InstrumentCeremony", but the name is too long, so I had to find a neat way to shorten the name. I took the first 5 letters from instrument "Instr" and added an a inbetween the t and r to make it look better, so that explains the "Instar" part. The "Cerem" part is pretty straightforward; just cut off the last three letters.

Then boom. I got InstarCerem.
A28_old
I was feeling very uncreative when I was asked to join osu so my username is the number of my house and the letter of my room at uni... I didn't realise you couldn't change it :P
The Gambler
Been using this name since Midnight Club: Los Angeles as I used to play a lot of wager matches.
Valskiel
The first one is Hunter_Point, before i started play osu, i played many games and always pick assassin or hunter, and in this game u don't kill people but kill someone's rank or first place, so i pick Hunter.

Because 3 years ago this game ranking system is ranked score, i got the last, the "Point"

The second is Valskiel , idk, this name just came up in my mind around january, wwww i can't say much about it O(≧∇≦)O
LoliPantsu

-ryusakihatsue-
Well, let me start with my former name:

Rin Kurigaya
well, Rin is a nice name and it's part of my real name written in Japanese
Kurigaya, well, came from nowhere but it seemed like a pretty nice match for Rin....
UNTIL
Rin is too much of a popular name ;w; people think of so many anime characters everytime i go into multiplayer
I seriously lost it when someone misunderstood my name and thought that I was trying to be Kirito's waifu
Kirigaya Kazuto not Kurigaya goddammit

I got so pissed I went to create another account (yes multi accounting) and I got a name from a random japanese name generator
i kept spamming on the generate button and I got the last names "Ryusaki" and "Hatsue" which both caught my eye, I couldn't decide which to be as my last name so I decide to combine them (they seemed like a pretty nice pair too) so technically my name should be "Hatsue" but since everyone sees "Ryusaki" first might as well be called "ryu"

So that new account got called "Ryusaki Hatsue"
upon 3-5 days of creating that account the guilt killed me and eventually i came to confess to the osu (supreme court) and luckily they let me off with a warning.
one of my osu friends (Flareeee <3) was really nice and gifted me supporter so I could change my name. "Ryusaki Hatsue" was still active at that time so I could only change my name to -ryusakihatsue- and I added in the hypens cause it's cool ;)

I still get called "Rin" by my older friends and I liked "Ryu" too so now my name is like "Ryn" <333

First Of All, My First Username was ZeldaCrEePs. (Minecraft) Because I was once Experimenting with Creepers. Then I just thought about "Zelda" and I decided to connect it to Creepers. And Boosh. You got ZeldaCrEePs.

Second Username : ZeldaCat. This was the time I was so Obsessed with Cats and such. I really wasn't into Anime still, So didn't use Neko. Like I did in this account. So I replaced "CrEePs" With "Cat".

Then Lastly, NekoMeowChan. And Yes, I was obsessed with cats still XD Welp, It's a Cute creature. XD
Let's Get to the point. The First Anime I liked was K-Project. Which is also knows as "K". And there was a REALLY KAWAII character named "Neko" . A Half-human, Half-cat. And I decided to put a "Chan". I was kind of satisfied with "NekoChan". Then my AI Programme suddenly Meowed because of a message. (And yes, My AI Programme does Meows when I have a message XD ) Then I thought "NekoMeowChan" And decided to use that. XD

I really liked Kise from Kuroko no Basket and one day, I was making my own (drawing) OC and I was like,"I don't want to name her Kise because's that for guys (neither do I think it's a unisex name) but maybe I'll just add -ta at the end." Kiseta then became my username.

I forgot where 'imai' came from.

My username comes from another forum. At that time I wanted to create "Akuma" which means demon in japanese but it was taken. Then I added a "sa" instead of a "san" or "sama" because I'm not a weeb. And I kinda fell inlove with my name, I think it's cool
PrinceArua
My username comes from my personal OC, Arua, who sort of is me but better and fictional. He's a prince, hence the prefix.
HazeL_old_1
My name
BigEarsMau
so, how did I got my username?

apparently, most of my friends said that I have very large ears, which led me to be called by crappy nicknames sometimes (ex. Dumbo, Green Goblin, etc). despite of all that, I chose "BigEars" bc it's kinda funny for me for some reason

the "Mau" part actually came from my math teacher, who called me "maumau" for no reason. at first, it was annoying, but then, i kinda get used to it.

I have no regrets at all using this stupid-as-f*ck username 8-)
P a n a
Hmm... How did I get my username?

I think it was when I became a hardcore My Chemical Romance fan and went through the phase of wanting a killjoy name :lol:
I still use the username quite a lot though, it sounds pretty cool :D
