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

no way, u cant
Emayecue
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

trust me.
NiuCriu
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...
carljcdc
From my real name, my previous universal ign is "Botch Carl" cuz i was called "botchipig" cuz i used to be fat lel, then "carl" cuz my name's Carl, "jcdc" cuz of my 2nd name, MI, and surname.
-NikoNiko-
I cant remember
Sonolux
I first discovered the word known as "Sonoluminescence" through a certain fact page on FB some months ago. It sounded cool, so I shortened it and made a variation. Thus, Sonolux was born.
Deimousxo
GTA and WoW.

There was a car in a GTA Game called "Deimos" and I was searching a WoW Character Name aswell. Deimos/Deimous was already taken so I made it Deimousxo.

Fleeting: This describes my streaming ability perfectly: "lasting for a very short time.".

Jake: What can I say, I guess it's my first name :oops:

Not very original but I try :P
birra
Birra is my real first name and my nickname. Then it has a good meaning as well according to my parents which is "kindness". I hope I can always keep and be the thing that my parents message me through the name they gave me, and I'm trully glad they gave me the name.
AcademyAhri
From a game called league of legends, a video game character named Ahri, its a skin that you buy
Daichi Shinku
My Personality, which is Mixed up...
and a Linkin park's song
Kei
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.
Equim
From the word "equilibrium".
Wuxo
little crap from ctb...
Falbere
Oh my.
Falbere.

Fa was like, fabulous or something..

and the rest of dem letters, just knocked my keyboard randomly

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

That's just my osu! name, though. My actual gaming name that I use on most of my games is [kuriihu].
mdszy
i chose mine because it's a combination of my first, middle and last names.
y6Ep-K0T
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.

A play on words, with my name being "Iona" and I added "Ai" meaning love in japanese and chinese. I think it's good.. xD

_Gaster
Would you guess? This is what you get when you read the logo of The North Face top-to-bottom first before left-to-right. :D
[ Robert ]
Names Robert, so I chose Robert. Shocking, I know. However I had to use brackets because someone else has the name "Robert" taken.
Qiyana
It came from my fist name: Dylan. and last: La. Just added a random number at the end. (Reallty want to change my name so bad!
The Gambler
"The Gambler" was originally dagambler999. That name came from my days playing Midnight Club: Los Angeles during wager matches. Despite what my name suggests, I wasn't actually that good in those days either.
-sev
Stole it from some ho
Portin
my name
furio_[im]
from my nephew
Pikabutt
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.

Ben_5917
The name came from an animated series called "Ben 10" which I fucking love at the time, so in loved so i named my self as Ben. But fast foward a few years I wanted to make an email account (I was about 10 when that happened happened) and when I'm making that name there are name suggestions and the first one was ben5917, and I got stuck to that name until early 2015. I got insapration from STAR_ (A TF2 Youtuber) and put it between "Ben" and "5917"

Thats how my username originated from
DeathHydra
From Razer Mouse DeathAdder. I just like the name because it sounds cool to me. But DeathAdder is taken so i added the z.
James-
My name came from a politics joke. im so lame.
La Cirque
I've been using variations of Evil_Dude since I was probably about 10 years old. The reason I chose that name was because, at the time, all of my favorite characters in video games were the "evil" characters.
Outpact
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.
Tbh
I wonder...
weihe123
This tag I've had since I was 5... I used to play Dragon Fable with this name. Only got up to lvl 11 before I quit though xD (Hey, I was only 5!)
It's a combo of my first and last name with 123 at the end. I was very creative :roll:

Crazz
My username originated from a friend that was trying to say my name "Chris". :D
He somehow managed to screw completely up and said "Crazz" ^^
Now a few people actually call me by that username xD
I sometimes add "ify" to it, if Crazz is taken :S
Jiroski_old
Well, Jiro is my Japanese name and so I wanted that name to turn into a username.

Jiro is pretty commonly taken so I had to switch it up a little, give it some flava ~

Jiro....jiroki....jirokai...Jiroski!
freedg
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.
Cloudx5
I have 5 cats, one of which is called cloud (the stupid one so he's not really classed as a cat)
Toine
It is my own first name! So it was easy to remember login details. Turns out you dont even have to login all the time since it will just automaticaly connect. But hey its also easy for people to recognize me since its so simple.
Runiel

Tornado
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
Danshi_old_1

vizzy
I used to be a huge Bleach fan, so my MAL name is Vizard. Several years ago I started up an IRC channel and one of the regulars called me "vizzy," short for Vizard. It pretty much stuck ever since then.

Was thinking of an awesome name to use when playing Counter Strike with friends. then it just kinda stuck with me.

TeeArctic1
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.

walkro
Runescape, lmfao. It was first suggested to me as Walkrobeart and it kinda stuck with me as I played different games. I sometimes play with shortened versions of my username like this one... Walkro or walkrooh. I also found out not to long ago Walkro comes from a company that produces rice somewhere in Germany... So that's that. I found it kinda funny cause I'm Asian and like.... You know... Username and the company... I'll stop lmao. :o

Ryu Sei
I don't have an idea. The name is suddenly appears in my mind after obtaining my very first supporter tag.
Safyire
I did a thing where I took the word "sapphire" and screwed it up so bad it looks good

Pokemon Sapphire is my #1 favorite game of all time aside from osu! and I thought a regular word like "sapphire" was too bland. So I...butchered the spelling?

Still ticks me off how people pronounce my username like "say-fy-yur" and not like, the word it actually came from.
