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.

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
CatchTheStars_old
I wanted to play Catch The Beat mainly upon picking up osu, and I like space. Hence, CatchTheStars, the most bland username in osu history, was born.
archetype-
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
I was currently watching oreimo when i created this account. It came from saori calling kirino "kiririn-shi" i have misheard it to Kiririn-shin lol XD :D
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
-Ryan
I know it's not very creative but my username is just my name with a hyphen in front of it. My old user name was xAvionix which was my old xbox gamertag.

baclava

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.

xxdinorabbitxx
My ign before i changed my name was xXdinorabbitXx. I got the name "dinorabbit" from the card game yugioh and it is a name of a yugioh deck that was really popular. When i tried to make an osu account, "dinorabbit" was taken, so i was forced to add x's. 7 months later i decided to change my name, and with a quick google search you can tell where i got it from.

Hi There,

My name is a psychic ability (ice manipulation). I prefer the cold, my resistance to heat is somewhat bad.
repr1se
My life so far has been a cycle. That gets personal, but I chose reprise because it means "to repeat."
Murai Samurai
Neon Samurai was my old username I used, but I ended up just shortening it to Murai. However, when I made my osu! account, Murai was already taken, so I added Samurai to the end. Simple as that. I guess it kinda links back to my old username.
Vigerzz
Variation of my surname, used it for 10 years
Pituophis
My name is genus of snake. I like them. idk
Dntm8kmeeatu

_Hatsumi
dePasstore

dePa : I was a big fan of Depapepe, by the time i create that name
Passtore : out of nowhere, i have feeling that i could be the pastor/saint/holy person who lead the world of game which is impossible since i've made so many sins just like other human being and there's no way i could be such holy person

There you have it :)
WubWubWaffle
some wubwoofwolf impersonator ;(
RS1
I think everyone knows where my name came from... my old username however (ShazWow) originated from Tribes (SHAZBOT) and the Wow was (not from WoW, strange ikr) just something I added because Shaz was taken on Battle.net
Cinnyboo
I went into a 'boo' phase months ago, and on another website I chose the name Cinnyboo. My name's Lucinda but my IGN on a game was Cinneh so everyone called me Cin. I thought I could make a cutesy username out of it. Now I use the name for most websites as it's easier to remember. c:
