That's the Gigatacos ^^ :

Z3RYX
When I was playing Tube Tycoon I had to think of a name and I was like "I need a really cool looking name". So I took the coolest letters in the alphabet (x, y and z), put them together with e and r to form Zeryx and then I capitalized some letters just for the looks. And when I wanted to name my osu account it told me that ZeRyX was too short, so added these [ ].
(Actually I wanted to make a new account named [ZeRyX] but I didn't know that you weren't allowed to do that, and so I had to use the supporter tag to change my name because before that my name was ShiroChoin and I don't wanna explain how I got that name...)
casoozh
uh... random chance landed on this combonation of letters
i also go by emo wiv a dreamo on some platforms but that's too long for osu
Z V I E R A T
I was on google translate and I typed it animal than changed it to Slovakian and got zviera then I added a t and put spaces between the letters

That's how my username for a Club Penguin private server came from
NYX-ILL
My name is from the Greek goddess of the night Nyx, I love Greek mythology and nighttime; ILL came from Illustrates because I like to draw. My full artist name is NYX-Illustrates so I decided to shorten it. XD
Mantis
From Last Exile. :oops:
Jaye
'dajayeway'
Back when I needed a cool name to suit me; at the time I was into dancing with a lot of kids in my neighbourhood, and one of them had a Youtube account called "TheANTONway", so I just copied it pretty much. and then just renamed to Jaye because it's simpler
RageMuffin
My name originated from when I was in Language Arts and I heard the word ragamuffin. I used to play Geometry Dash back then.
nikachu-
i dont remember mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ashton
I sort of broke the rules coming up with the name “Canadian Baka”. I had another account I made agile ago. While playing on the account, I was playing multiplayer when I saw someone with the username “American Baka”. I thought this was hilarious but didn’t have the money for a name change, so silly ol’ Me went ahead and made a new account (back when the system was slightly less strict) and made an account called “Canadian Baka”. Luckily I was excused for multi accounting so I’m not banned. Yay!
Flashydeic
Being "original and just going to an original username gen" found out it wasnt taken
Onaliear
Its my main on world of warcraft the way I got that is by clicking random till I got this and I really enjoyed it and its been my main username for everything now 8-)
imabowen
My username is from my real name, I am very original.
six_killer18
2008-2009 I played this other game, Combat Arms. I was a kid, came up with this dumb name six_killer18, then stuck with it for all other games and other online stuff.

Killer was a cool thing to put in names for some reason, I put it in because it was a shooting game. "six" came out of nowhere, the under dash serves as a space, 18 is there just cause.

Keeping the name because of sentimental value above everything until I finally decide to drop it down the line (probably not very soon)
himiken
My other username was k2_____ (censoring it since it's my real name lol.) Found a 3 letter word that looks good (ded) and stuck a part of my old username there (KK, which is k2 or 2 Ks).

In other games, if that username is taken I'll just add a Z in there, resulting on dedzKK. If that's taken, then its dedKu for me after that idiotic MC in Boku no Hero Academia.
hinduinegi
Fight club, the book. The Narrator Hindu Inegi on unnecessary places and I kinda like it.

Hindu Inegi means Hindu Cow.
Narrator
My username came from what I do.

It just so happens that no one took Narrator, so I took it. Lucky me :D
YaoiMeFloi
I wanted to smurf on Titanfall PC, and wanted a stupid name to proc people when they saw me. Turns out I fell in love w/ the game again and kept playing under the same name <3
cheeseloaf
There's a bot in Discord called KawaiiBot. She has a command called +ship @userhere @userthere. My previous name was Syxte but when I shipped by name with KawaiiBot the result was Kawaxte. Now I can joke around by putting -xte in every good word or name such as osuxte or animexte.

clayton
my current username (zelda102) comes from a joke with my friend zelda101. we entered a duo tournament a while ago and confused everyone with our names

I'm changing back to my old name soon, though!
Jazz-Hands
Before I played osu standard, I downloaded osu to play osu mania. I always make sure to make my username sound cool for the game I'm on. so I thought what username describes a great osu mania player? jazz-hands came up to my mind because of a movie one of my teachers showed us about the history of jazz, and the people there were really great at playing the piano.
ThotSlayerOkabe
my name jeeeeef
Trobador
As a kid, I was an weird weeby dumbarse and even though I never really watched Naruto, I knew there was a character nicknamed "Sand Eater" or something (what's his name ? Gara or something ?). Now, weeb kid me thought "w0wzies!!11 that very cool ! i need make name that sound like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And because I wanted to go all the way in my weebery because who the fuck knows, I wanted to add a Japanese word. I went for "stone". "stone" in French is "pierre". Now, a normal person would have simply used Google Translate, but the dumbass that I was didn't want an actual Japanese character and looked for another translator. I found one, but failed to realize all it did was translate the phonetics. So it gave me Pieru.

I hate this god damn name. osu! is the only place where I still use it because I don't wanna spend money for a name change.

Oh, and I actually found out when I started playing this game (for real) 6 months ago that "pieru" meant fucking "fart" in Finnish, so now everybody in Bancho thinks I'm Finn even though all I know about Finland is that they have saunas and alcohol. And murderous intent.
Cxerizo
farteater lol
keremaru

Keos-
Came up with it 5 yrs ago (I was 11 and was a massive brony lmao) I regret it rn and I really want a name change but it's not like I have a credit card or paypal or anything to buy supporter or a namechange lol. I made a 2nd account named KkiM- since my nickname is Kim, found out the hard way that our souls are bound to a single account and so that account was banned after I started making 100+pp plays on a new accnt lol. I'll find a way to change out of Mane6... someday. :cry:
futabas
My best girl from Persona 5 lmao
Calamari
when I made my name for another forum years ago, 'comet' was already taken, so I added an 'i' at the end to make it unique
dunno why I chose 'i' instead of another vowel but yeah, the name stuck and now I use it for nearly everything
Vuelo Eluko

also my username was my PSN username from when i was 10 years old. my sister came up with it. something that has do to with kangaroos and mashing our names together i think?
ZeroxPlaysOsu
When I was in 4th grade, me and my friend wanted to make youtube channels to play Minecraft. I had no idea what to call myself and my friend suggested me "Zerox" and I thought it sounded cool. I just added a few numbers to it, they changed a lot over the years until I settled on 029. I created my Osu account under the username ""Zerox029" but when I was playing multi, people were mistaking the 0 for an o so I decided to change my username and I picked ZeroxPlaysOsu. I still regret it to this day.
Eurocat
I like eurobeat and catgirls.

Bloom
A few years back I created an Xbox live account and a random username was generated for me. I wanted to change my username to something better but I couldn't think of one, my free name change also expired.

One thing led to another and now I use this name on anything that uses a username. But I usually put my full name anyways if there's an option.

Apparently LumpBloom7 is completely unused on most services so I never have to worry about my name being used by another person.
J25_games
When i had a ps3 my username for that was j25828956093 or some shit so the first 3 digits became a part of me
-Aspiire-
eh its a nice word and just decided to add an extra "i"
Mazingerlaaa
Was actually from when I was 12, saw a shot of "mazinger" anime and had no clue what it was, had to choose an account name for a game called "blackshot" and since a picture of mazinger was near by I just thought why the hell not. Years later when I started osu I though again, why the hell not. Now it is commonly mistaken as coming from the zinger burger in kfc and I wanna change it lol.

Random words pop on my head and I use it. The number is basically 12345....but the the two is the last. Rip

Puri_old_1
PuriPuri (プリプリ ) It's the SFX to express freshness (prawns, young girls etc), it also means chewy and tender. But that's not why choose it.. I like it because it's fun saying puripuripuripuri really fast. :>

Penguin
My old name used to be Penguinsanez. That originated from when I played club penguin back in like 2005. It's just the combination of penguin and insane. Very few people were able to pronounce it correctly, and a few people actually thought it said Penguin Sanchez, so that kinda stuck as a nickname of mine. Then I changed my osu name to that.
Yabuki
My name originated from Runescape a long time ago when Celestial SurgeBox's existed and then it eventually got banned and I kept the name cause I liked it and yeah
Sonagi
Kafka means jackdaw in some language (Czech?) and I like birds :D
radioactive329

I'm really into stars and the zodiac, so I wanted to use something like that lol
But "Zodiac" and "Zodiak" was taken so I added something to the end of it.
Sounds decent imo

hmm. I thought that you were going for Brain Age, like the Nintendo DS games
n00bUltima
Honestly barely have a clue. I used to talk about how much of a noob I was at games a long time ago, and then I thought of ultima as ultimate so it's a like "Ultimate Noob" type of thing (even though ultima means last or something) I still suck at a lot of things so it's valid in a way.

It's really lame and I use it for everything nowadays so that's why it's my osu! name. I used to be called Vortexium, but I don't know where that came out of.
EdgierScroll
I realy like the Elder Scroll games and this was the best I could do without using numbers and other letters
Natu
from my real name
Hickacou
It's a mix of Ikari (According to G trad : anger) because I'm salty and kuro (black). kuro because I like black, and in her star guardian skin, Jinx names one of her guns kuro on League of Legends and I love her. After that I just changed the spelling because I didn't want it to look too Japanese !
- Mia
My nickname is my real name. That happens when you have no originality and opt your name as a nickname. ; w ;

Mamba_old_1
Who knows ? :’)
DJ Enetro
I was looking for a cool, original, unused username. So I first cane up with “Bonanzai” (Bonanza + Banzai).
But some other people took it, so I became darker and went by “Pentagonizer” (Pentagon + Agonize + r).
That name eventually got old, and also I wanted to have a spaced name so it would fit with gmail accounts.
At the time, i thought, well I love music and i’m pretty weird!
the music part became DJ, and the second part of my username is a corruption of “entropy”
(You pronounce it e-ne-thro). *claps hands once*
HawkAussie
For me, its because I support the Hawks in the AFL (Aussie Rules) and as I am an Aussie that is where the second part comes from.
pechhi
i once changed my name to "peachspike" on other websites, but i liked when people called me "peachy" so i wanted to make my name short and simple, but with my own lil' twist, and so the username "pechhi" was born.
nikky
It's from a manga named Kenja no Majo. The guy named Diseum there is actually a king and old but I liked it so I stole it. :D
ChibiDesu
At first, I was calling myself Hanachi. Then I decided to visit one con in Czech Republic and yeah.. I am not tall, so people just started to call me Chibi, haha. I used to hate it so much, but well, I kinda got used to it. UwU

yuhaii
my old username was "elainex13xvii"
it was just my name then some random ass characters my friend had in another game username.

my new username....
idk. i thought of something random and weeb,
kingo1_old
Hmm.
Well, my main username is "kingoo1"
The "king" part is because I first made it relatively soon after I found out my family actually was part of a royal family (nothing major though) and it was also first made for a game in which I controlled a kingdom, so I decided it makes relative sense.
the "o" is the first letter of my name
the 2nd "o", which isn't always used, stood for my best friends nickname. We used to share the same savefile on many games, so when we decided to play an mmo we played on one account. Hence two o's. He didn't want to play this game so I simply went with one o.

The '1' has two meanings. The first was that after playing together for a while, we became friends with someone else and when he found out the reasoning behind the name, he called himself "King1" because he was the 1 king. Fast forward a bit and he also sometimes shared this name with us and so it became kingoo1.

Sadly, both of my friends died in a car accident last summer so my name doubles as a memorial to them now.
HippityHope
Mine is actually really boring but whatev.

My username is actually from my Minecraft ign, since Minecraft was the first game I was serious about, most of my other in game names is HippityHope or something with Hope in it.

How I made it up was, since my irl name is Hope (prob knew that by the time you read this) I was trying to think of something catchy. Thought of a rabbit somehow, thought of hippity hoppity, and in about 3 minutes the name HippityHope was born.
Kasiastrofa
My username is a mix of my name (Kasia) and "Katastrofa" (catastrophe in english). My friend made a pun about it once and I just kind of stuck with it.
Achromalia
On osu!, my name had initially been "Xuequinox", a name I used about 6 years ago now because apparently 8-years olds like me get fascinated by the word "equinox" and like the letter "x". I don't know what the "u" was for.

After a while I got tired of it, so I've changed it today!

I had been thinking about a producer name for about a year or two, since I didnt think I'd be comfortable with the name Xuequinox as something for people to try to spell and pronounce.

Eventually after a large period of time, I thought of using something more meaningful to express myself. A lot of the time, since depression was a thing, and apathy tends to drain you of emotion and energy, I felt like life felt... boring. I felt that life was just a greyscale palette. I came across a word that described the quality of lacking color-- "Achromatic".

I also felt pretty nice about the word "Anomaly". In spanish, it's "anomalia". Basically, by putting them together, I wanted it to define the irregular feeling of a colorless world, or the sort of feeling that says that you dont belong here, that you're the cause of that lack of color.

In a way, I meant for it to represent a bit of depression, but I thought it was an interesting concept on its own, and that it didn't have to represent my depression and apathy.

So far, my only problem with this is that it's a bit of a feminine name (since I'm a guy), with all the "a"s and the "-ia" at the end. I dont imagine many guys would have a name with "-ia" at the end.

Only appropriate solution to your name sounding feminine is to fully pretend to be a girl and become an internet trap.
Lememes
I can't think of a better username even though i spend so much time brainstorming... lol

Soo... I just think of memes then use "Le" because back then, the most popular memes are rage comics then it uses the word "Le" that is a substitute for "The"

Then... I just put them together.. "Le" + "Memes" = "The" + "Memes"

I'm ashamed and regret it...
- Incarndine -
Use to love Pokemon and all the main characters (idk I've stopped playing) had colors as their names so me being me thought of all the colors i knew of and "Incarnadine" popped into my head so to be original i removed the second "a" in the word and made Incarndine and I've been using that for everything including osu!
LyanPlaysGames
My 1st username was Behemoth12....... i know, weird. I chose that name because of a game a played. Its called point blank (an fps like cs:go). I got bored and played a game in p.b. where i went against AI. It was easy until i kept getting rekt by a bot. A bot named "Behemoth". Soo, thats where it came from. My current username is just a meh username. Thats it.

Fortunately, most salty 12yro Minecraft kids make disability jokes about my name after they lose a fight, they obviously can see where the name originates from
