I found a player in a another game with a name looked similiar to the name "Luqanted". I searched him and the name; no results. So lala. :D
baclava
I like magic things
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.

gooder101
once when there was english lesson and i was struggling to remember all the gradations of the adjectives we had to learn i thought ''all right this is strong,stronger and the strongest next one is good,gooder,goodes.... wait that's not it it's good,better,the best'' and then when i had to choose username it came to my mind that gooder sounds kinda original so i might as well use it.101 was just some accidental mash of the keyboard,don't ask me

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
My osu! username is a shortened version of my normal username I use on basically everything. (Dontmakemeeatyou)

New username! So...

I love anything raspberry-flavored, so I started with that and wanted a good way to end the username

The song I was listening to at the time was "Etheriel" by Lush

You can figure out the rest

I liked the name so I stole it.

I thought about the only thing I'm good at.



I just thought of this word. What I said above was fake.
_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:
Jinn
my real name plus one more n
Catgirl
i love catgirls~
Shoutoshi
meh name originated from kantai collection, so it's not vry orignal. my original name was stupickle, which originated from a hockey player nmed Stu Bickle. I thought he was adumbass bu tit was funny to se hm plya so i made ma name stupickle bc it sonds liek stupid-clke hehe
AzureDoctor
My original username was AzureDoctor. I made this a few years back and I simply combined my favourite colour with my dream job and I had a good username.

I came up with my current username while thinking up names for a character to use in a story that I was writing. The character's name was originally going to be Annika Flinn but it didn't have a nice ring to it. I found that a name sounds really nice when both the first and last names end with the same characters, so then I changed the name to Annika Flina and I was done.

I never actually got around to writing my story, so now the name is my screen name .-.

CircleFairy
Well... I am a Circle Fairy! ;)
Zenotama
My name is just my old WoW name. But after lookin it up I found something about a mild sl/Zenotama ultrasound est. 2008 so I guess im an ultrasound.
SubZ
After a loooooong chain of failed clans, I got an obsession with Sub Zero (Because his combos were simple enough in Mortal Kombat 9) and the "XD" originates from the name "SubZ" being too short for Xbox and "XxSubZeroxX" being already taken.
Antiverse
"That feel when no girlfriend". I am almost 30 and never had the one.
kidamiku
Story of my username: Kidaste + Hatsune Miku = KidaMiku
Kidaste as my home village and Hatsune Miku, because she was the first japanese artist I started to listen.

Mine originated from a commercial there was a cat on a couch and the sign said im a waffle theif and i came up with Iwaffletheif :D
Kyoukoh
Random word generator.
Solaire218
I decided to take some letters from my entire name to make something interesting when I came to the realization that I could spell "Solaire" with them. I slapped that name on my profile in a heartbeat. Especially since Dark Souls was a really good (and *cough*stressful*cough*) game. As for "218", it was the room number for my advisory in high school. The guys in that classroom were the best comrades I ever had. :D
NaTha_old_1

Literally was making up a name using vowels. I do this often with usernames I use on the internet. A few examples of mine: Auphie, Mirae, Ruira
MikasaSerket
I am a filthy low life weeb and homestuck trash. So I thought, "Hey, why not combine two of the edgiest characters from my two favorite things?!" Then an abomination occurred.

mizuki-chan_old_1
i dont remember when i started to name my characters/accounts in online games "mizuki".
its just one of a lot beautiful japanese names. it started when i played my first mmorpg and i wasnt able to decide a name for my character, so i started to google for random names. after hours ( yes, seriously! ) i started to search for country specific names and somehow i landed on japanese names. thats when i discovered the beautiful language "japanese". i picked 2 or 3 of the names which i really liked and mizuki was the name which was still available in that mmo.

I took Pacztual for fun... but i didnt expect ostay on Osu! for long , I regret taking this name now.. I might make a new account with a name in my mind?

Edit : Nevermind , I cant . I'll just get banned if I do that. :(
suzumotoHikari
My Username is from my pet cat, Her name was Suzumoto. Since that my cat's fur is color white, therefore i described her as 'Hikari' (which means light).
Fourth
my nice name, because I'm fourth son
n0mad1
My reason for this name is really cheesy but here it is.

Simply my grandmother always called me Luddis or Luddish and therefore i chose it in games since it was close to heart and it was kinda original.

I've wanted to change a lot of times but i always end up going back to this name because so many people know me by it :)
Sojuphine
My name is originate from League of Legend XDD Veryy Corny I know. The full name of the champion is Ezreal. I just short it by putting it "Ez" XDD :D
golden pepe

-Kyu
somehow it was inspired from Naruto maybe?

first time I use this name when i was playing a quick game called "Tales Hero" and then i named the character RunRunKyu.

i realise it was cringy af so i changed it to ExKyu
Panbou
Since high school, I'm often referred to as Panda by my friends.
And panda love bambou (french for bamboo).

So I happened to make a contraption of these two words and it sounded pretty nice to me :D
Adorn
Flannel was something I made in 2013-2014 on a different game and around the same time I got my first Moderator position on a forum and I became well-known as Flannel.
Rurree
Stupid name I thought of after watching Oreimo as a weeb. Well, it's not stupid, just more of too girly for my tastes..

Somebody sponsor me name change pls take me out of this hell LOL
piklopedia
I've always liked dragons and things related to them, so most of my usernames have something to do with them, that's where drake came from,

and digi came from my interest in digimon.

Guilmon is forever my favorite fictional character ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(thx narse)
Suisei XYousoro
I posted in here before, but for those who are too lazy to backtrack, I will explain again.

XerneasYveltal (my former username) - the two eponymous mascots of Pokemon X and Y

XYousoro (my current username) - Initials taken from my former username + Yousoro

Who would have thought that I would come up with a punny username involving a certain Aqours member's catchphrase
Asami Anny
Asami = bc Asami Ryuichi is cool lmao

Anny = me
xBILLYx_old
my name originated because my name is 「ビリ」 "Biri" but, it doesn't really look good, I went with the english name instead
Pepsi Cola
Kuro means 'black' in Japanese, and it's my computer username, and Mimi is my nickname, but it also means 'ears' in Japanese... so I thought "black cat ears" or "black bunny ears". My personality is more like a cat than a bunny, and 'kitty' sounds better to me than 'neko'. Thus; "kurokitty-mimi"
NarixuZen
I don't remember the reason I got mine, either. I like it and I don't want to change it, but the rest of the name 'Zen' was only an inspiration from the Zen music and that kind of music is one of my favorites. ;)
Quichey
Acquiesce
Herkkupala
I used to suck (feed-a-lot) in games like Dota 2 from which my name originates from.

Herkkupala means in English "Treat".
Hear_old_1
The name Hear came from an actually long story.
When I was little I had a speech impediment and barely ever spoke, So I was given the nickname Hear and Mute.
I never actually went by my legal name in school, Just by my nickname as that's what I was most known for.
When I signed up for osu! I was originally Handsie. Buying Supporter I saw I could change my name so I decided 'Hear'
sounded for the better to have. 'Hear' I am today.

TL;DR
I grew up a mute with the nickname of Hear. :)

I was just looking for a solid username. Boom, found one.

I was trying to find a name in different languages that meant Destruction, but couldn't find anything good then I typed in Annihilation and cause I like the Japanese language (weeb) I saw that Annihilation in Japanese is 全滅 (Zenmetsu) and I thought it sounded pretty cool, and people refer to me as Zen
