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 !

My nickname is my real name. That happens when you have no originality and opt your name as a nickname. ; w ;

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.

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.

I hate it when people think that's where my name originated from
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
