A bunch of times people will think of a username related to their childhood, whether they do it by intention or not. This is not always the case, however, some people chose theirs because they either liked the way it sounded or thought it was cool. Everyone is different, of course.
For me, I chose "drum drum" for a reason I don't entirely remember. But I believe it's based on my past fascination with drums of all sorts. When I was a child my grandmother bought me a cheap Indian drum which I loved a lot (and then it broke of course). Around middle school I had a Djembe drum that I loved to play a lot. And finally in High school my parents bought me an electric drum kit (which I never anymore use because it lacks a tom and doesn't sound that great). Now here I am playing Taiko on osu!, funny how life works.

My name was Parkourist on minecraft (lol) and then,i wanted to make it like 'smaller',and i tought it would be Parko,but it didn't sound so good,so i removed 'R' and now is Pako.'D' is just a random letter because 'Pako' was already taken by someone else
My name is the cuter and shorter Version of Darkness. The name comes frome my fascination for the Universe and the so called 'Dark Matter' one time when i was 14 y/o i watched a Movie/Documentary about something called 'Dark Matter' idk what hooked me on this Topic but it was so fascinating to me that i watched many, many episodes of this Documantary series. I also love Characters that have a dark or darkness related Powers that they can use in Battle etc. So that is the Story about my name ^^.
My username comes from my favourite kind of films (horror) and the first word of my surname (m) and my name (s). I use it since 2009 when I started playing online and probably I won't change it 'cause I really like it ^^ Horrorms

my username probably originated from the words "Tasty" and "Ah"
Hydro was taken so i put owo at the end of it as i said it a lot back then
Was looking for 3 characters name that is actually a word in japanese and found this. (Not from the map)
I got tired of using my real nickname as my username on most medias I used so I decided to come up with something more soothing. I can't certain for sure how exactly I came up with this name. it was more of me being random and clueless rather than creative. it was really geometry dash what got me into coming up with such a name. it wasn't inspired or taken from anyone else
i aim for the top!
'jx' - most of my usernames nowadays contain 'jx' or 'jqxz' as they are the least used letters in the English language (and of course, the highest scoring letters in Scrabble) so it just sounded cool to me to put that in front of my names.
'rhythmer' - just a shortened version of 'rhythm gamer' because I play a lot of rhythm games.
I wasn't actually born in 2002, I just threw on that number for no real reason.

Thanks a bloody lot for this forum, I have spent the better half of the day reading all of these, and it is so much fun seeing the origins.
As for my username, I had a shirt that said "Sorry, I was not listening" when I was a kid which I loved. It kind of matched my personality, I used to be quite aloof. it also sounded funny. These reasons, I decided when I was like 10 to always use this username. But, the word sorry had to be omitted as it was too long. So, it became "Iwasnotlistening". Coming to more modern, games there was now a rule of only 16 letters, so I had to make it "Iwasntlistening" which it is right now and hopefully won't have to change forever.
This name is quite ironic to Osu! as it is a rhythm game, but well...

I always eat bagel while going to school, and psychic because that was all of my gaming team's username included; psychicskullbomb,psychicsquirrel, etc.
when I was like 11, I used to have "KhaledTheGamer" (myfirstname+thegamer) as my username on multiple accounts. a year later I decided to throw my middle name at it (Fayez) while keeping it short so I came up with FaizKTG.
I got my name from the anime 'Nisekoi' as it translates False Love in English.
I haven't watch this anime yet but I've already read the manga
"Watch the Anime and Read the Manga guys it's good"

i liked the word Mahou but it was too plain to use as a username
just added XA for "originality" xD

I honestly have no clue, but I chose "Marine" because I used to really like that name, and "berri" because for some reason I thought that sounded good together
My first username originally came from a nickname I had, but no longer go by as there was a fall out with the friends who used to call me it, so now it is simply from the name of one of my favorite songs, one that always makes me feel happy and peaceful.
Kerli - Feral Hearts
I love that song so much, because despite residing in the UK for the most part now, I am in fact an Estonian, and very proud of that, and very proud of my country and its connections with nature and stuff. x3

My username came from my ROBLOX username which is "TheCrimson25" (I don't know how I came up with it, I can't remember) but I shortened it to "Crimson25" when I made my osu! account. I was making my twitch account and felt like Crimson25 was too boring so I had to think about a lot of things I could add to my username to make it cool, Bucket was the best thing I could think of, so my twitch username is CrimsonBucket and I later went on to change my osu! username to CrimsonBucket aswell.
My username doesn't have a long story hahah.
i was explaining something in my school of tecnology and a friend told me "well done ginotec" (my name is gino)

my friends call me tedward
name of a rapper "skepta" i did call me like this because of a cover of his song "shutdown by the band slaves
i honestly don't remember where this came from but it's stupid now
(namechanged, username described is refills)
I was originally Capo_Kid24 (which was my original online handle), but when I got supporter I decided to change it to what I wanted my official online handle to be since I was starting a YT/Twitch. This username started the rest of my online profiles with this username from then on
I'm using the name of my wife who is from Made in Abyss. I love her so much, she made me pick up lucid dreaming again.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I have a few “usernames” that I’ve used online for awhile now but Breylin is my main for almost everything. It’s not my real name (but close actually)
I think the true origin was for a character name back when I played the harvest moon on the GameCube and it stuck over since.
I love names that use y and l :p
I’ll probably end up naming a daughter Breylin if I have a kid ever xD

I got my username from a book called Erebos which was written by an author from my country. At the time I was 11 years old and I was realyl getting into online games and since I've never known an alias aside from "Player 1", so I set out looking for inspiration and found it.
My name is from my real name :3
OH NO IS THAT MY SECURITY I SHOULDN'T SAID THAT OUT XD

It sounds really cringy, but it has an intresting backstory.
So osu was kind of the first game i have began actively playing. I have started playing it when i was 6 years old, and since you can't rename yourself it stays like that.
Basically i wasn't very original and didn't think too much of it because i have wanted to quickly play, and i have just reversed my name (nikita) and put my date of birth. It sounds like a joke and like the worst username ever, but it reminds me of myself as a kid and i really like it because of that. I would have changed it, but maybe it will stay for good.

During the big Dubstep trend about 7-9 years ago, there was a very popular artist named "SKisM". His music was one of the best next to Flux Pavilion and Skrillex.
My username before that was "LoLMeCrazy" so I definitely needed a new ign, so I went with "SKiisM" since I was a huge fan of his music. Barely anyone recognizes the name since the artist phased out awhile ago too.

This username come from my irl self and how i looked depressed all the time without being actually depressed; I really wanna change it to be honest.
My username is a mix between my name (Blake) and my occupation as a Baker, pretty simple but yeah that's where it comes from!
Got it from a character created by "Funamusea".
Ssshh.. It came from my name
in·ef·fa·ble
/inˈefəb(ə)l/
adjective
too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.
bore·dom
/ˈbôrdəm/
noun
the state of feeling bored.
And my username was too long so... yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My username is because my name is Liri and my nickname (that I made up and made everyone call me) is the Devil or Satan so that's where my username is from
Mine came from an alteration of Fiel, Nirvalen from No Game No Life.
My first username was "Maxwell" because my ex-girlfriend called me like that, and i kept a lot of letters for my new username (the e w a x) and i added "Lewd" and mixed that and Lewdax was born
My username comes from my DevianArt account, but I don't remember how did I get the idea.
I just remember that it was a different username but it was already taken so I said: "Let's just change a few things".
And it end up being Niktushi. lol

When I first got a Minecraft account, I was very into chemistry, and I wanted a unique nickname. So, I came up with 'Minecraftium Sulphate', which I shortened to 'MCSulphate'. After playing for a while and joining some communities, I ended up being called 'Sulphate' by most, which is what I'm called on everything except here, since I cannot take that name.
First, I've came up with some random nicknames but I was playing league at the time and I really enjoyed playing Yasuo and I just added and removed some letter and shuffle them and that's how Artsyo was born xD
I wrote down the list of the girls in Date A Live and showed it to two of my friends. We crossed off names until everyone could claim a waifu, and I got Kotori. (My friends got Tohka and Yoshino)
Don't worry, I love all the Kotori's out there, not just my waifu Kotori Itsuka.

now I have a normal nickname (I do not know why Mi Zui) but the previous one came from the Polish name of "kuskus" groats xD
It was my lack of creativity. I'm from a small country Denmark, and finding other users in most games was hard without actually taking with them mouth to mouth. So to make it easier i called myself Henrik (It's my name) and then added DK for Denmark. It works surprisingly well, most people ask if im from Denmark and i say yes, and we continue playing together 
From this incredible musician.
not the map, i actually was searching for a shortname and came up with this
Mekki
My name originates from Exit this Earth's Atomosphere, as if it wasn't obvious enough
My middle name is Lonnie.. Lony is shorter Lonnie.. The x is because "Lony" was taken
My name is from one piece. It`s pirat Buggy's name in russian translate.

I mean, I used to be super into the Bashur Minecraft youtuber before all of the scandals hit. My first name was SuperBashur235 on xbox, but then I was invited to my friends clan. It was called the HIDE clan. From there, I just changed it to hidebashur13. (The 13 coming from my birthday, February 13th)
Came from my surname but reversed. Then i just changed some letters and i found it was cool :p
I like Hydrangeas and rain and also happened to be the name of one of my favorite tracks by Camellia and Sota Fujimori, AZISAI. The name can also be written as "Ajisai" so yeah
i named my first minecraft diamond enchanted sword MysticalBlade, and it has been stuck to me since
My name was derived from Yuudachi and her catchphrase "poi". Yeah its kinda catchy at times lel
My name originally from an anime called "Hyouka"
I hope that already explained everything :v

There was this dude named "viloki" (or vileloki idk) who made a video about finding a good minecraft username and in the description he listed all the good usernames he could make and the second one out of 21213151152 usernames was ocalino and I thought I could name myself Ocalinox (mostly because of an old school german/french youtuber), but then I decided to trust this man because I knew I could regret making that decision growing up and it kinda sounded like Siphano (for me, at the time), a youtuber I used to watch when I was younger.
it's a drug that's so potent a single granule of it could wipe out a room of adults. i'm really into pharmacology, so that's why i chose it
my username for most games "Adowa" is a name i got called when i used to get bullied,i translated it to english, from taiwanese and thought it sounded pretty cool in english.
My username is a modification of my surname + diminutive (because the usual "Stanik" has already been used.)
Stanik (pol.) > Bra (eng.)
UwU

Mine was Spectre until November 2017 when I just shortened it to Spec.
Then somewhere in 2018 it became vSpec and since the name 'vSpec' is already taken on a lotta sites by car enthusiasts (Cuz of some Nissan car named vSpec idk), had to make it vSpecky.
