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...

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!

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

Mine originated from me! No lie spent two hours at the screen to create an account on Minecraft trying to figure out a good name. Ended up with Quibbles. I still use that name but use Quibbly, Quibz, or McQuibbly (in order of availability) if Quibbles isn’t available. Apparently it’s an actual word too so there’s that.

A few years ago, my sister had me take this quiz that tells me my Korean name. After the quiz, she said my name was, Bin Su Park. I really liked how it sounded, so I started using it for my accounts. It started with just BinSuPark, but then I had it shortened to, Binsu. There's also a different variation to my username, which is Bondy. My friend was typing my name in Discord, but it auto corrected to Bindy. So then he started calling me Bindy as a joke, but one day he accidentally typed Bondy. I liked how it sounded, so now my accounts consist of the usernames, Binsu & Bondy.

It all started long, long ago when I had to name my character for a different game and was feeling too lazy to come up with something cool, so I just decided to come up with something completely average. At first, I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to name my character Bob or Johnathan, so I just decided to combine the two and went with Bobbathan. Since then, Bobbathan has been my go-to username for almost everything.

When I registered in 2014 it was shortly after I watched the second season of YuruYuri and I love Akarin a lot so I wanted to use her as mascot for this account, she innocently loves her oneechan who also loves Akarin but with a "deeper" kind of love as you know if you watched the series. I thought it was funny, but I decided to not use her anymore since there're already so many players using Akarin and YY characters lol. I'll probably change name when I get osu supporter again.

Fun fact: the post above is the 1337th

I used to use various different usernames that I randomly came up with, which usually had numbers tacked onto the end, but when I found (and started going to) The Escapist's forums, I felt like I needed a staying moniker, because the forum was more...high brow than the forums I'd been used to at the time, and I felt like all my previous usernames were temporary (which I didn't want for this forum 'cause I really delved into the whole sub-culture the forum had etc) and pretty childish (since I often used names like "Alien54" and "-Buzted-"etc). Since my English was much weaker back then, I thought of a random, cool word from my native language (which, when translated, is essentially something like "charged"), put it into an online dictionary, and it came up with "fraught".

Honestly I got so uncreative when I wanted to make a name for myself and I realized that "randomperson8802" just wouldn't cut it anymore so I had to compromise and think of an animal and a rhyme

If I could change my name I would go to something like Pacha Kamaq (was my name on a few forums before I discovered osu!, originates from inka mythology) but I already grew as furry trash with the tiger so

desu is just an add-on since the original was taken >.> and back then I tought adding desu would tell people to call me Satsuki in-game instead of desu (which obviously backfired because people called me desu instead REEEEE, but oh well) XD

My current name is "Lapluie". Its meaning is "rain" in French(actually "La pluie"). I think my current name looks nicer than the older one so I changed my ID.(PS:I cannot speak French at all:P)
