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
Poofie
Was thinking how to get a cute name and still catchy, so first i came up with "Poofiecutieface" wich i later on changed to "Poofie"

Seems to be a popular name

Vax_old_1
My original username was Haikou, which I instantly regretted upon making my account. So I bought supporter after I became so fed up with having to deal with the name. I changed my name to "Kurt" because of someone named Kurt Cobain who was in the band Nirvana, I've liked that band for as long as I can remember (I don't think other people will though) and I guess at this point there's no going back.
Kurt isn't my real name if you haven't guessed by now

Dromadan
My previous name KingKazma, i took it from a movie called Summer Wars, i highly recommend it.
My current name Dromadan, is a name i originated, i tried to imagine a name fitting for a World of Warcraft character, and that came to my mind. I used to play World of Warcraft with a group of friends, in fact we played a lot of things, but WoW was our main turf. We decided to create a group called Warsong Leaders and we did a YT channel of it. Eventually i had to leave the group because of stuff i don't really want to go deep in, and i decided to change my name once again so i wasn't found, or just to change my online identity. That was 5 years ago.
To this day, i've been only lying to myself and found out just recently that my true identity, the one i get inspired with and the one i grew up with is Dromadan, and i'm gonna stick to it from now on.
HazeL_old_1

unonimus
It comes from the cartoon "Arthur". In an episode (I forgot which one) Buster misspelt the word "anonymous", and I thought I can misspell it too :P . My first usage of this nick is for a pen name for a poem that I wrote in 2007. Then I used "unonimus" as my nickname in some fora.
-Visceral-
I get a lot of questions on how my name came about, so...

Uh, in New York City, in Penn Station, there's a smoothie place known as Smoothie King. Went over, got a smoothie, went back with my mom right before our train left to go back to New Jersey. She asked where I got the smoothie, and for some reason, I thought the place was called Smoothie World. She's like, "nah, its Smoothie King." Ensue 30 minute argument on the train and I actually managed to convince her the place was called Smoothie World (she thinks its a really dumb name) and it's been a running joke with her and a couple of friends for a few years now.

Fiffer
> Kid playing runescape for the first time back in 05 - 06 trying to come up with a clever username.

Madscientist was too long of a name so I shortened it to Madsci0.
A few years later I discontinued the 0 in my name and made it simply Madsci.
Some ass-hat on here has the name Madsci so I took the name Madzci.

I like science.
Manivanh
It's my real name and I was surprised that nobody claimed it. It would've been Manivanh901 if Manivanh was taken. 901 was supposed to be 910 but in ClubPenguin, I messed it up (cause i was a stupid kid back then) and i've used 901 ever since. :D

Leo-C-R-M
Wow, this thread is so popular! (OoO)
I guess i'll give it a try.

At first i was confused on what to decide my gaming name, but somehow i came up with an idea on using my Star-Sign (Leo) and Chinese Zodiac (Snake). The result was (as you see it on my Username) Leo-Cobra. (But somehow it can be turn into Leo-Cub)

Then i thought that the name's length wasn't long enough so i added "RM". Which i still don't know what's the real meaning of it up to now.
Thought it's kinda resemble my name and my old username. My friends usually called me "Ar", the same way you read the letter "R". The letter "M" was supposed to be an upside down "W", which is my last name's first letter. And my old username? ArWi (Read the "Wi" like you call that Wii game console!), that's it. (Yeah, it's kinda lame, i usually jokes with my old username. For example, "We're ready to play ARWI?" (yeah, i know, i made a joke that's a lot worse than that.) thought the original idea was to make my gaming name looks more cooler. (Which is SOOO LAME)

Welp, i guess that's the least i can explain. TL;DR, I'm really stupid at making good names :P

You wanted to use (Sailor) Mercury but it was already taken, so you made it more masculine.
consta_
Mine wasn't too creative, i originally used "Reisen", based off of Reisen the moon rabbit in touhou, however it made me feel uncomfortable since it made me feel like a roleplayer. so i gave the name for my japanese friend to do whatever he wanted with it. this is what he came up with.

Anxient
when i was grade 7 my friend and i decided to make OCs. he went with some name and i came up with AncientMU, thus my first name all the way up to october-ish when i got my first name change. The MU in AncientMU comes from the megaman starforce series, as in the main antagonist of the game afaik. And then i kinda regretted it so with my terribad quick thinking, i decided to name myself Anxient (my current name), because at the time, some japanese already took the name Ancient and right when i was about to name change it, some canadian took the name Ancient, so i sorta stuck with Anxient. Kinda got attached to this name tho and started using it everywhere, although ive been considering to change it to Anpan, yuniAnxi, etc.

2014 = Dezept -> How did I came up with that name? Well, that was the name I trolled people with. However, at some point I thought that Dezept is a pretty good name, so I changed my name from Maruck to Dezept.

mukti_old_1
I already mentioned this in another thread - years ago, I used to go by the name moksha. Too many times, I found this name was taken, and I didn't like adding a number to the end :P. I looked up synonyms for the word (I think it meant something like rebirth), and found mukti. I actually liked this name more, and have been using it ever since (you'll see me on multiple trackers, and IRC with the same name).

Apparently, this is also a normal human name in some countries... something I didn't know when I picked out the name lol
JOEMOMO

Daxxor
My very first username was "blafferke", it's basically a tiny version of a pistol in pirate language. I got it out of a pirate book I got when I was young. (Kappa)

Daxxor was made up on the spot by a friend of mine. We played Allods Online, and decided to create a new character. I asked: "Hey, think of a name for me as well". That's when "Daxxor" was born.
Valentine
Literally my real name with with otay at the end for no reason \o/
Suisei Hosimati
For easier understanding, I'll split both the meanings of "Kurante" and "Melodii"

For "Kurante", as some you know, that's the name of the girl from FREEDOM DiVE, yes, they named it

As for "Melodii" , it's from a closed species in DeviantART, I owned one here , according to their closed species page, "Melodii" means... of course "Melody" in Korean

So I combines those 2 words, and my username was born
