donghans

Bonk
When I made an account for this game I ran out of names that made sense so I just combined a bunch of letters then made "Bonkzor". Then a couple months later I bought supporter for the first time and shortened my name to Bonk. Now I regret it because I am getting mentioned in osu! when people are talking about bonk.io.
Fraught
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".
Enchourex
From mishearing a song and some creativity
:P
Ruukiro
Button smashing.
Smashed some buttons together then tried pronouncing stuff, then magically it became Ruukiro, of course someone had to take "Rukiro" so I did what every person that's ever had their dream name taken do, add an extra letter.
blobdash
When I first had to pick a username, it was on the minecraft launcher page. I didn't know what to put, so I looked on my desktop behind the launcher and the first thing I saw was FL Studio there. FL stands for Fruity Loops, add a En in between, and good job, here I am.
Poidachii
I inserted the term "poi" in Yuudachi's name in loving memory of my favorite shipfu in the game "kancolle" and to remember that mostly any community gets hilariously autistic when someone say "poi"
but in osu I was too late to use the name so I just added an extra i so it'll be okay :D
Alot
diablo 2
Regay
I found this name when I was deciding my username at SA:MP (San Andreas Multiplayer). First name was RageQuit, then Ragey (in a matter of months) and then finally Regay. Dunno why I chose this name, but it seems gay for me :>
cla7997
Got my first videogame on my psp and said that i have only 7 characters for my nickname. So "cla" part of my name and "7997" because the brother of my best friend was born in " '97 ". I didn't really understand what was the meaning at the time because was a young child, but looked cool. "79" for symmerty
oof-sama
Oof came from the roblox meme/death noise and I added sama to the end because I'm a weeaboo.
TheGuillaume
I put ''The'' before my name
The Fire Tiger
uh i was like 14 or smthn when i came up with this name xd

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
Kirika
My username "Kirika" is actually a character called "Kirika Akatsuki," from the anime Senki Zesshou Symphogear.

Uh.. Wanted a new username because the one i had before sucked ass. (Urjustbeats2me) So i decided to change it. Couldn't think of anything for a while, then came up with this. And this is what i've stuck with for a while now.
Lexporxti
Sorry bad english*
My real name is leila and (lexporxti) it occurred to me to dedicate the name to an old friend. :D
curiosity: the x in my nickname are spaces, but I did not know what could be used u.u

So lex (leila) porxti (for you)

Leixporxti is more horrible
Ghastly56

ANY115
my ussername came from a random gammertag that xbox gave me back when i only play COD online, and a friend from online just started to call me "Any" because of my gamertag (Anyrocket477) and it like me for some reason, it becomes a simbol of me as a player and also decide to put it here on osu!
[pGA]Remilia
The tag came from a SA-MP community called [pGA] Pro Gaming Arena and Remilia is a character from Touhou.
koemada

Alf is Alf
idk i just thought of something random and i played a bit with the first syllable of my first name.
I thought "this looks cool i guess" so Im stuck with this username until I can come up with a new one :3
exsemipro
Just thought about being a pro but not really a pro maybe a former pro but less than that so yeah
Maze
It's a long story actually. But in short, my past username used to be mazewalker which I thought of because of the movie maze runner, but I hate running. And then I just adapted the name maze for short. Unfortunately it's taken on osu.
night-owl
well, i was mostly playing the game at night, much to my parents' dismay since i was making (vaguely consented) love roughly to my keyboard

edit: hey there fella!
- Aoki -
I was just wondering what name should I get. And this was the first cool name that passed through my mind. :D
vault_thug
well i think i was inspired from every vault names in the fallout series then added "thug" at the end to look cool... if it is really cool

Kinushima
My original name was a combination of 2 different anime girls and a video game girl (Hestia, Kinushima,and Mythra = Kystia -{somehow}.) I found my true love a few days ago in a weird event and now its Niyah from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I like the spelling of the Japanese way lol.
Niccy
A lot of people think my name is a parody of FaZe Rain's alias, but I actually made my username rains because I really like the rain. It's relaxing.
ChaikaHQ
When I started learning french I really liked the word "cirque" (circus) and it eventually became my username.
Contrenox
Contre from "contre-jour" the photography technique
and Nox is just night in latin. I'm considering other usernames.
leftforkilling
once i was playing tf2 with my retarded username pmi2rfq and i decided that it would be a good idea to change my name to left for killing to try to trick people (i was 8 at the time) and absolutely no body talked about me on the portal trade server map (honestly i didn't care i forgot about it and instead had fun getting a boat load of sniper kills) i never changed the name since (forgot to mention i got inspiration from left for dead that i loved a lot)
Destinyy
I'm using this nickname arround 9 years ago for every single game, The 'Destiny' its just because when i was 8 i use to like the idea that we all have a destiny, and we're here for something (i think i see that on a movie or something) nowadays i think we all have a destiny, but you can decide wich destiny u want to have, its not something prepared, its something you prepare.
the 611 its because that's my birthday date (june 11th)
i just wanted a cool username and i thought destiny was cool, was alredy used :(
so i added my birthday :)
MyztikOSU
From the word "Mystic" or "Mystical", but those were taken
