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

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

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.
Nerukolepu
The origin of my nickname is for a certain disease, romanizate it and Voula! Nerukolepu.
odango
In Sailor Moon Usagi is often referred as "odango atama" and I just shortened it to "odango" :)

IT'S TIME TO DUDUDUDUDU DUEL


I SUMMON!


tbh the deck sux but its still fun
Pacztual
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
memes
-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. :)
Drool_old_1
I was just looking for a solid username. Boom, found one.
paperglider
my name comes from this awesome song.
i started using it on steam around four years ago and it just kinda stuck. ever since then ive been using it for pretty much everything c:
Knights_Edge
Like playing chess, whenever an opponent gets there knights on the edge of the board, i exploit it
boom
"_" just fot the lolz
i can be called knight or edge, anyone is ok
Golterboose
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
Caput Mortuum

SilverBlade128
Pretty much just popped in my head that's all.

I spelt my name wrong when I typed my name in too fast it should have been Astormant.
Flabby-chan
One day I wanted to change my username because my old one was cringy so I said 'let's make it even cringer!'

How I got the three words are different.

Potato - I had an online gf (yes online gf) that called me potato when I messed up.
Asian (replaced with osu) - I'm asian
Osu (replacing Asian) - I didn't think I would stick on osu! for so long, so I had put up osu
Fab - random adjective I thought of

Here today I have Fab_Osu_Potato/Fab_Asian_Potato
BaraWolf
My name used to be DragXminer cause I was a minecraft fan then I changed it into SveltColt332 because I thought that was original
Caput Mortuum
still a dagger.
-[Shady]-
I've used this name literally everywhere and I still don't understand why I chose it
Tracecorn
I was trying to think of a name for a DnD character, so I pulled out my phone which was glitchy as heck, and just swipped my finger over the keyboard for a solid minute hoping it would give me a fun name.
Storntonc is what the phone spat out, and I've been using it ever since
LonePerv
Because I was alone and too perverted
Jesper
I legit don't know anymore
OgNameless
Because I couldn't think of a name
Andulir
I came up with that name when i read the whole lord of the rings series. I just want a name that can be like a fairy name.
Roku OEK
My username comes from me being Weeb trash, nah I made this name cause every username was taken on consoles and stuff so just came up with broken Japanese also hilarious to hear people try and pronounce it.
Natahotra

LastExceed
I am obsessed with NoGameNoLife. My name is referring to the ixseeds (the ranking of the 16 species in dishboard), obviously pointing out immanity which is #16 (at least in the beginning). Immanity can't use magic but Sora and Shiro proved that even the weakest can outsmart everyone and reach to the top if you're dedicated enough, EXCEEDing what anyone thought was possible. (I also used "exceed" instead of "ixseed" because it was mis-translated like that in the light novels lol, and because it sounds better).

Smilli
"Smiley" has always been a part of my name. I don't really know the origin, but I have some iterations built from it. I wanted to become just Smiley in osu! community but apparently I can't claim the name from inactive user.
JeromeTT
An old friend of mine used to always call me Jerome (even though it actually wasn't my name :) ).

Don't ask me where the 'TT' comes from... i think i just plopped it on the end cos it looked nice.

I think I started learning Japanese 2 years ago and then in order to get rid of my old username in League i then took random Kana and combined them until i liked the outcome.

Turns out it misspelled the tsu in okoratsu and forgot the s but whatever i grew to like it.
An update to this, the misspelling did start to trigger me so i replaced the end of my username with something i made the same way as back then. Decided to keep the "oko" for guest diffs since ive been using it since 2014 like that.

I ran through all 2 kana combinations for the end of my username and picked the one i liked the most. So once more my username doesnt originate anywhere but a structural approach to combining syllables to make a decision, how boring.
CXu
Hey, at least it's not based on a captcha like mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
shinitaichan
I use Epicm14 username for everything and My name's Dan(iel) lmao, this name is incredibly stupid, but it's like a meme now

Easy. Pingu was my favorite cartoon show when I was a toddler. I've been using it since I was 10 years old.
HikaKao9
Young me (Give or take 5 years ago) thought it would be cool to name my username after my at the time favourite pairing.
Never let young you do things like these.
It haunts me to this very day, and i'd change it if I could but....
I mean, I'm still as lame as the name implies so I suppose... :'D
Eidea
Often times my go-to username happens to be taken, and in the event it does, I start changing it up.

Came up with this while registering for MAL and it's essentially a slight reconfiguration of a FFVIII character, Edea.

kkk

Ryuo
My username doesn't really originate from somewhere, but it sounded cool. I used to use the name DivideByZero before, but when that username was alreaxy taken, I slightly changed it. Over the time I just got used to my current name and use it everywhere i register. :)
Scrumbo BBingus
If anyone knows Vinesauce Vnny my username comes from him. He always makes silly names with an "o" sound or a "us" sound so i just made my own name out of that.
WingSilent
Mine came from multiples renames over years.

I started by,

Serah Farron
-Serah-
Lumina
- Lumi -
Nekomi-
Nekomi
NekoLumi
Lumy

I don't think i'll have more. I wanted to stop at some points.
So it basically came from Final Fantasy XIII.
xeroll17
Well if i remember correctly it was from World of Warcraft, back in 2007? 2008? I was trying to have just Xero (Because I found it funny it sounded kinda like Zero , was young and stupid dont judge ok?) but it was taken. After a few minutes of figuring out clever names like Xeron, which again was taken, i stuck with Xeroll. And 17 is my "lucky number" so thats that. :)

Yocake
From a store,, i can't really remember..
Dargin
I used to be DragonX611 until someone called me Dargin.

My name DragonX611 came from the old style YouTube names, [Name (Capital letter) number between 1-9999]
I liked Dragons (i was 10), I thought X was a cool letter, and dr asgons breath fire and 611 used to be the fire emergency line, i think at least...
TheRandomMelon
One day I had to come up with a new username for some random account thing I can't remember now. I thought about one time I tried a watermelon, and my old username was "RandomStuff". So, I just randomly came up with "TheRandomMelon", and I've stuck with that name for the past 2 years.

O w l
I used to be a Legend of Zelda fan. My favorite dungeons were the water dungeons, I loved the name 'Lake Lanayru'. When I was making my summoner name for LoL, I was thinking, what name should I pick? Then I used Lanayurian because Lanayruian sounded a bit weird to me.
