the origin of my nickname is pretty dumb, but let's say it anyway

My real name is Roberto, so i just took the "R" and i wrote it with the Italian pronunciation (erre) and then wrote the rest of my name.

Where it came from?
I liked the word void for no apparent reason

I also like Electro - Im assuming because of electronic music but who knows

I didnt like Electrovoid, so I took out the R

My old name was Kazutodacer. I wanted to write Kazutodancer but i lost the N and dacer sounded nice.
Then i changed to NaThaNeL. Thats because i saw a tv spot where a passanger called Nataneal but you speak the Name "Natanäl"
Now my Name is NaTha its a short version of NaThaNeL cuz anyone in osu called me NaTha

I used to part of a clan in runescape called "Roseus Deos" and pretty much it stemmed from that. The 'Jaeger' part is a little Attack on Titan inspired apart from the meaning literally meaning 'hunter'. My username is supposed to mean 'pink hunter' and just sound cool

In other games and forums that used my forum name used to be "Made In Quebec". After a while, the diminutive MiQ was used for most people who interacted regularly with me.

At some point, I was looking for a new name for a new character I wanted to create, and one of my friends on that game suggested I use now, which stands for Em (M) aye (I) cue (Q)

Since then, it kinda grew on me, and now it's a standard wherever I go I always use that name... Thank god he never asked me for copyright fees :D

I originated as Niudoru, because Nudoru wasn't available so I added an "i" in there somewhere. As I got more involved into the twitch community, every time a 1 miss or choke or 80% acc FC's, my friends and I would all type niuCri, as an emote. I thought it was clever to rhyme Niu to Cri, thus NiuCriu...

From a World of Warcraft character I made around 9 or 8 years ago, I can't remember.

It came from a female human mage. I named her Keilara, a random name I came up with. So, my name here in osu! was Keilara at first, but later on I got a supporter tag (a friend gifted it to me, if I'm not mistaken) and changed it to Kei.

This was mainly because my friends here were calling me Kei and not Keilara. I slowly began to love it, so I decided to change it. Now I hate my old username lol.

I can also say that it's related to my real name which also starts with K.

Random name actually. I just thought that a name that contains 'th' and 'x' is cool, then something chemistry-based (-ium).

Lessee... I once had a character named Tron (no, he is not related to TRON, despite what you may think), or to be more precise, he is still my character, except renamed, redesigned and in limbo. But his first name was Tron, I created him when I was somewhere around 12-13. Then I had a username 841tron, then it became 852tron (both of these are my usernames on ROBLOX, I am no longer there and I regret most of my time there), and then I decided to change it to TheTron852 when I was 15. So yeah, pretty much like that.

I also have another username, "y6Ep-K0T", but that one is mostly for the Russian community.

Not entirely obsessed with the Pokemon series itself, but my boyfriend decided to gift a Pikachu onesie a couple months ago. We're an odd couple so we've become accustomed to creating random words, including pikabutt and pikasuit. I figured Pikabutt would be the most suitable to add a little humour into my normally bland usernames.

Well, theres two reasons, one is that its similar to the 'Outback' or another word for Australia (generally), another is my favourite font, 'Impact' back in 2012. I read it wrong thinking it was called 'Inpact' so I thought of a unique name as 'Outpact'. Alas im using it since then.

Way back in elementary school (probably 6th grade) our class had an art project to make a sort of name tag to display outside the room, and I think it had to be a nickname or at least something that meant something to you. It was nearing the end of the time given to think of an idea, and I basically said whatever, and decided that I use the first thing that came to my mind that wasn't a word, which was freed (yes I know freed is a real word, I figured that a little while later). There isn't any actual meaning behind the world, just thought of a random word. The g is from the first letter of my last name.

Some years ago,I decided to make a nickname and the best think I could think was: TornadoWing

Reasons?Its too long,I wont explain :P Why would you get interested to learn it?

4 months ago My nickname was TheLastOne12 which was also my FPS Game nickname.No matter how random that name looked,I liked it a lot and it had too much meaning but I really hated when people were calling me "The" People were so idiot that they didn"t call me : "Last" So after I bought my supporter tag I wanted to change it to: TornadoWing

But I"ve also seen that the simple "Tornado" wasnt taken :D So I claimed it immideatly before anyone else does xD

One fateful day I decided that I needed a proper alias online. That the days of self-loathing due to names I made as 9 years old would come to an end.

Thus, I sat down and I thinked aahard about it.

I live up north, close to the arctic circle. So I decided, I would include Arctic in my name. I was also from Norway, which has a history of Vikings. Thus came the tragedy that was xXArcticVikingXx...Keep in mind that I was only 11 or 12 at this time.

Sometime after I started using this horrible name, I made an account in an MMO, can't remember which one. I made my character and joined a guild. Nobody bothered to type my full name, so they just called me Arctic. Simple and precise. After that they decided to introduce me as 'The Arctic One' to new guildmates. Which then became 'The Arctic 1', which due to a misspell then became TeeArctic1. And I liked it. So therefore, my name is now TeeArctic1. Were I ever to have multiple accounts, my second would probably be named TeeArcticToo.
