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
Runiel = Ruby (From the series 'RWBY') + Daniel (My real name)

And the Vermell is just there because why the heck not.

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.

Well, Me being an idiot when I started playing PC named my first steam account LeroyJenkins111. 4 years later I was 17, thats when I saw a Lenovo laptop box and though, huh, thats neat.

Alea
Well, my name ''Alea'' is from my original name but only I did delete de X at the final because it wasn't allowed :7 (So many alex at this game), my second name starts with an A as well . So, I decided to put the A on the site of the X ... '' Alea '' I believe is a normal and cute name ..
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 ..
QTISC= '' Que Te Importa Sapas@ Chismos@ ''

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
BiscuitLover
I like biscuits. Done its that simple
AshbeII
felt like it
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.
laserkai
my dog's name(Kai) and I love lasers for a reason :)
Erie
I've been called Elly/Ellie my whole life (typical shorter version of my first name))
I was looking up Japanese versions of names one day and wondered how mine would look , and since Ellie is always taken "Erie" came into play

Eymi
I wanted a cute name with a y inside and a short name :3
RvSq
Take a username you came up with when you were 10. Then everytime you get a new game accout drop a few characters until it has lost all of the original meaning.
[ K r i s ]
Jesus Christ I guess. Since my birth name is Kristoffer, therefore [ K r i s ]. All the spaces is to look cool 8-)
dylansantosh
So at first sight my username looks like i am huge fcking weeb, (and not to confuse you, I am) But that's not the reason i chose it.

My second name in fact is santosh, I was formerly known as dylansantosh on most games. I wanted to pick Dsan, But that has been taken by the almighty hdnc player.

I decided to leave tosh out, and here i am.

Also I am a huge fcking weeb :v)

Okami_Senpai
My original username was "Okamikyuubi", which was the name I had on most of my online accounts since 2010.
I chose it because I was obsessed with Okami and soon after the Naruto character, Kyuubi, and basically just meshed the two names together.

Okami will always stick with me in some way and so I still keep it in some of my usernames today. Since many people call me senpai, I thought something along the lines of "Okami Senpai" would be nice. <3

Plus Ookami also means "wolf" in Japanese, and my sona's a wolf so...
KiTeaa
I like cats (hence pronounced "kitty") and I'm from Britain so Tea had to be in it somewhere ;)
ArcanaKnight64
"Arcana": I saw Proton Jon (twitch streamer/ youtuber) play Arcana Heart, and after that I was interested in the series... though I never got around to it :|
"Knight": .... I don't know? It probably had something to do with Meta Knight (from Kirby). Or maybe it just sounded cool next to Arcana.
"64": I love Nintendo. This one really didn't need any explaining.
Viictoriaa_old
from my actual name, because yes i am boring like that

Razzy

in retrospect, this is cringy as all hell

I should've stuck with "Temmie Flakes" or "Pumbloom"

I was trying to make up my own nickname for gaming. I thought of two words: Ethereal and Aralith; I then thought of mixing them together, Athyriel.

my username is derived from my alternate name that i made up which is Nozomi Yuuki (Nozomi is the family name, Yuuki is the first name). My alternate name is taken from two anime characters: Nozomi Toujou from Love Live and Yuuki Tatsuya from Gundam Build Fighters. Extra note: Nozomi so comes from my schoolmate named Nozomi Ide

The end??? :P
[Zappy]
I just... kinda liked lightning/laser weapons in games, so I decided to make my username the onomatopea "zap" + "er" (the person that zaps).
The "[ ]" around it made it look like an ammo box or a weapon itself... maybe it's a stretch. I was a bit dumb almost 5 years ago...

About my Osu! Nickname

On October,when I was going to change my username; I wanted to do it TornadoWing
Because it is also my Youtube,ask.fm,smule,twitter and some other websites nickname.But when I was going to change my name; I noticed that Tornado wasnt picked up.So I prefered to make my name more simple :D
tukimoop
Before playing osu!
Back when started playing Minecraft, i had to make a username for my account. Of course, being the one person who'd make bad names, i chose lazypasta, for being lazy, and liking cabonara pasta (from the local Pizza Hut store).

After a few years, decided that the name was literally made up of stupidity, I tried going for a new username

Previous osu! username
My previous osu! name was FryingHam, which pretty much originated from TF2. I took the "Frying" from Frying Pan and "Ham" from Ham Shank to create this name. It's probably the best name I ever took as :)


Current osu! name
During an osu! multiplayer match, I was trying to play the usual 3 star map, but my hand was shaking pretty hard, which I blamed on iced coffee. I created iblameicedcoffee, not before deciding to become a weeb and find a Japanese sounding username. I put "coffee" into Google Translate(coz y not), got Kohi, and added "rii" to the end, getting Kohirii.

Though it's still nice to have people call me "Fry" for my old username :)
