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
besides.. I think it's short and cute ^-^
Qiyana
My 2nd grade nickname. I still use it.
iiko

oil
i play ssbm competitively and my favorite god was armada.

nadavv
in 2010 i tried signing up to a flash game site called kongregate to play a game called super crazy guitar maniac deluxe 4 and thought it wont save if i dont sign up for some reason. anyways nadav was taken so from then i call myself nadavv in everything
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)

Under = Because I like subways
Forest = My favorite place

Little things that cleared out half the forest in my hometown. I am not creative.

I remember trying out those random name generators, and I got the name "Shig". I kind of liked the name, and it just stuck with me
salsa
I like the song "Monster" by Reol so I was like: salsa
And people like it as much as I do
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
QuerkyBren
Once I read my school end of year report and It said that I was 'quirky'. But I accidently spelled It Querky, and the Bren Is from the first four letters from my name.

It was my mums idea. as i really Liked Rainbow Dash at the time and that the first part of my irl name is Kel, she made up "Rainbowkel" from the two words. A DREAMER WAS BORN I TELL YOU
Razzy
a combo of characters from huniepop and undertale

in retrospect, this is cringy as all hell

I should've stuck with "Temmie Flakes" or "Pumbloom"
athyriel
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.
czr
Name generators are amazing.
Horaizon-
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

Deleca7755
This is gonna be hilarious omfg. I was watching ( like a long time ago ) that episode of Spongebob me and my sister had on DvD with the 'Lost Episode' and it sounded like someone said 'Deleca Tesent' XD So ever sine I've used the name 'Deleca7755' 7755 are basically my username/lucky numbers. 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...
lol

In the end of 2010 I had too much fantasies and had a large dreaming potential.I just wanted a cool looking name and one day when I woke up early on a Saturday morning; the first thing that came out from my mouth was: TornadoWing

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 :)
BluePixel_old_1
A game that a bunch of weeaboos play
Fourth
Simple, it's my name.
I'm 4th son, so my mother named me fourth(nickname).
Battle
I was talking to Xbox one day about a name change, and he said you could name yourself to Battle, so I did
dGeist
My friends used to call me a phantom because they never see me coming even when I'm right in front of them due to my attire or hairstyle at that time. And I loved cod 1 -2,waw and I roleplayed as the german soldiers a lot with my friends.
So I'm the ghost ,hence d(the) Geist (ghost). 8-)

Yooni
from the popular korean drama gumiho. In the drama there is this song
that translates into foxrain. I was planning to use that as a my league name
because I'm an ahri main, but sadly it was taken . Hence rainfox has been my username for
almost everything
Tae
Russian translation of my surname, as I'm Russian. And let's be honest, Almaz sounds cool.

(Surname is actually Polish for some reason :/ )
Genjuro
I have no idea why i choose this dumb username, o-well.
Seethe
this name comes from a sword in world of warcraft for casters.
It's called seethe

i'm a perfect example for something (hence archetype)
Ankanogradiel
I Just woke up one day and it was in my mind.
Later I figured out that Ankano comes from an npc in skyrim.. and gradiel is just a thing I made up :P
2015071
The name originates from my Student ID in highschool. I like it and use it everywhere to pretend I'm a bot.

But the biggest factor for using this name is not simply trying to pretend to be a bot.

It's a political message.

I'm from Hong Kong. Hong Kong has no voting rights to choose their Chief Executive, and since the hangover we have been asking for this (as most of the Chief Executives China has chosen for us are c***s and we don't like it). And so 2015071 is the date (2015/07/01) that we'll get total freedom to vote who's going to be our Chief Executives (btw, July 1st is the Establishment Day for Hong Kong). But as time goes on, 2015071 becomes my hope for a democratic Hong Kong. A Hong Kong that is free from China's interruption and a Hong Kong that is truly govern by Hong Kong people.
Interference_old
My entire existence is just an interference to the universe. Everything I did, do, or ever will do is nothing. I can't contribute anything to this world other than destruction.

And also it's the title of a song I'm into three years ago.

audinor
WAGWAN
Hibiya-chan
I love the word "Storm" and I decided to make it as username but it kinda lacked more coolness hence I added "Ex" and "_" for design.

Hence, "_StormEx_"
idc_old_1
honestly...idk. but also idc.
BirdyThePhoenix
My username used to be birdyluv0 (the 0 is pronounced as an O)
But over the months, I've been envisioning my "OC" as a phoenix. And Birdy is pretty much what people call me so...
Boom. BirdyThePhoenix. The perfect username for me.

So it originates from my love of birds (and I also like phoenixes as well duh)
JohnnyKnoxville
The chaos emeralds from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. I really want to change my username, even though I'm still a fan of Sonic.
Kiririn-shin

Kurome-chan
I cant think of a good name back then.. And then I looked at the mirror and saw my eyes. And from there I thought of the name kurome.
Lagel
my head
Foxpal
Back about 2010 when Minecraft was a huge thing (is it still?) I was eating a cookie when I made my minecraft account (lol)
So I decided to name myself cookieman, which, of course, was already taken. So I added 001 to the end of it, like 007 but with a 1. So it turned out as cookieman001. I used that name forever, even as my osu name when I first started. Up until about 4 months ago. I decided to go with something simpler, and cleaner. So I came up with LeCookie.
SpeedTheWeeb
I came up with the username because I was so into Geometry Dash... I'm also called Speed there, so i just took that name and boom... OSUSpeed

Reunilu
I used to really like the Pokemon Shaymin and for whatever reason, I was really obsessed with the boat scene from Giratina and the Sky Warrior. So I combined a ship prefix (S. S.) and Shaymin to create my username from that scene.
