Chaotica
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
Vuelo Eluko
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
breylin
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
Drizzel
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.
Synthja
My name is from my real name :3

OH NO IS THAT MY SECURITY I SHOULDN'T SAID THAT OUT XD
PopSoda
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.
payney
i really like undertale, specifically chara's whole character (heheh) and then i just yeeted the maru off of orochimaru, and here we are

god i need a better name
skiism
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.
genkicho
tbh i stole this lol... i feel bad now i gonna change nickname later
MediocreTactics
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 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
Alyca
Mine came from an alteration of Fiel, Nirvalen from No Game No Life.
Lewdax
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
niita
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
Rabbecito
My friends gave me the nickname "Rappe" on 1st grade and then I turned it into Rabbe and now it's Rabbecito just for the memes. Mostly I use Rabbe on other platforms like Discord etc.

Sulphi
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.
_Artsyo
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
Tateshina Eve
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.
Mi_Zui
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
HenrikDK
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 :)
Plini
Uta
not the map, i actually was searching for a shortname and came up with this
Mekki
I was thinking of a minecraft username some years ago, and Mario Kart has always been one of my favorite games, so yeah, I decided to put MkGuh xD

Mk = Mario Kart and Guh is just my nickname irl basically

Manrobicz
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)

Both are fantastic! I wish you all the best for your Major, and it's nice that you feel that you can share things comfortably with others. I am inspired.

I got my username because i use the prefix 212 in many online games, and i am awesome, so that's how i ended up with DatMan212
Ocalino
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.

because my name is Mao and i added owo behind it x)
vSanguine
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.

I got my former name "FletscherrR" from work because they just called me like that. The reason why they did is because they messed up my surname. Wow.

My name I have rn.. because I don't come alonge with those guys from work anymore and I just wanna get rid of this name. Even though I still get called "Fletscher" irl.
But yeah.. just trying to get rid of it.
For this one I have just generated some random letters and numbers and put them together.
Doublewow.
Rurree
one of my favorite rap and producer duo
rosetaxi
I used to be addicted to the game Brave Frontier, and two of units which you could obtain on the game were named "Kira" and "Yuura." One is a light-elemental unit and the other is dark-elemental, which are my favorite elements. So, I joined the two together and made "Kira Yuura" which is satisfying to read for me because they have the same letter ending "ra."

I'm dorky about my name, haha.
Arachnid_old_1

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

xyoarceus
The xyo was from this guy https://www.aq.com/character.asp?id=Xyo back in my aqworlds days. The Arceus is pretty much self explanatory. I just thought it sounded cool if i mixed the (in the time) godly player i've ever seen back in my 8 year old days and the most godly pokemon that was ever conceived.
