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.

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:

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)

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.

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

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.

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.
FINGERLOCK

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.

Before that, I used to have another nickname that was QTISC , someday 8 years ago I came to an internet with my friends and saw that they all were using nicknames, and i was the only with '' Default name '' . I said '' Ok let's create a good name '' and QTISC appears .. in spanish each letter means something ..

phionebaby56
I used to be a huge Pokemon fan as a kid and Manaphy was one of my favorite legendary pokemon at the time. I found out that Manaphy was used a lot so I decided to go with Phione and added baby behind it because it is actually the baby of Manaphy. I added some random numbers because the name was bank for me at that time and since then the username has stuck with me and I use the username most of the websites I joined.
Cebby
So I guess I have a pretty interesting story.

So about 4 years back I went under the username xXFrostZeroXx in Minecraft (Total Weeb I am), and I realized how stupid it sounded with the "xX"
So I sought out to find a better username, something that sounded better at easier.

So as I was thinking, I realized why not combine my name with something reletable to make it sound cool.
My IRL name is Kyle btw.

So then I realized that in the name xXFrostZeroXx the word Zero stood out pretty well.
I combined the first word of my name, Ky, and replaced the Z in zero.
Ky+ero == Kyero.

A legend was born :P

Dexenta
About a year ago the game "Dex" was relased on Steam and I really liked the trailer so I decided to buy it. The game's protagonist's name is Dex and I thought it was a really cool name so I decided to have that as my username. After a couple of weeks I wanted an original username that could only be inspired by Dex's name so I added "enta" to is because of my entomophobia.
