KILLER - I dont even know why iI ended my name with killer, meh I probably just thinked that adding killer to my username will make it sound cool
Taj
Comes from the Arabic/Persian word for crown.
I just put it in because it sounds majestic.
samX500
When I was 12 I thought it sounded cool and I just kept it.
Orittsu
It's a nickname a friend gave me and I liked how unique it was and I was like 'YEAH!'
-FR
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
I had an undying love for RWBY, now I have a love for spiders.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Mood
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.
lil

choroi

ChocoFudg123
Mine comes from the name I used for my Minecraft account "ChocolateFudg123"
which came from me want to call my account "ChocolateFudge123" but it was taken already.
Gwelawyr
My current username was a old meme from 2013 which I used to say I was a girl, so some friend of mine told me to change my name into it for troll people he did know I was a man that's why he tell me to use this username like a "neko princess" xD but well right now I just regret it and wanna back to my old username "Gwelawyr"

Actually if I am honest I get the username Gwelawyr on a username generator... or do I mix two username? I don 't remember at all and I find that sound really GOOD.. so I just kept it.
etta231
hm,actually my name is generic and it stuck to me, what i mean its ''lunetta231'' or either ''etta231'' wanted give it as ColdFeaR but feels like its cringe so i choose etta231 for some reason that obviously i do not know
Tranquilmonia
I took Tranquility from the Wii game Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility and Harmonia and merged them into my current user name. I think it sounds nice, although it probably is a little bit too long. For instance, I can't fit that into the name of my character in Pokémon games! ( ; =ᆺ= )◝
thyme_old_1

SanderEST

Amadeus Jeffrey
At this moment, I'm wondering where I got this name from.

It was like 2013, and I had a certain obsession with Pokemon and Nintendo. I tried to create a channel on YouTube using strange combinations of Japanese, until one that I liked a lot and related to the thunder, which I liked very much: Radrion. Obviously this was incomplete and I decided to put my birthday on the name: 0507, but I thought it was too long, so I reduced the number to a "557". Over time, my dream of YouTube and having Nintendo consoles (I am middle class) vanished and the "Alpha" was born, which I took thinking of a username that would be simple, attractive and disused. I looked for meanings and I said to myself: "You are a person who leads and always seeks the best not only for you, but for others, you are the Alpha of a pack". I mixed it with the legendary number 557, and that's where the "Alpha557" was born. Sorry for writing so much.
YourHomieNox
Back when i was a wee lad I made my Youtube name Pulse, Realized it was overused so i changed it, When i first made this account i just remembered the name and changed it, So yea thats the story behind my name.
Frezmo_old
My username originated from eleven year-old me making sounds until I made one that sounded cool, and I the reason I stuck with it is because people refer me to that name so there's no point in changing it now.
flake
crystalinfusion: based on Vainglory's Crystal Infusion consumable, Something I often buy lategame for a powerspike on Catherine back when I used to play Vainglory.

Flake: One of the few names I decided to change my name to in the short span of my first and only 1 month supporter days, with a help of a friend. I was supposedly going for Weapon, but he insisted for Flake. I don't see my friend that much now, but the username reminds me of my good days with him.
dayuii
dayuii: I got this name from two of my friends, and I combined their names. Dae-shaun and Yui, and I got dayuii. I've had it for years now. I did changed from it, and this was my first username I had on osu, then I did like 5 name changes and asked for a revert back to dayuii because that's my OG name.
Kingironside
When I played final fantasy tactics with my brother, we used a random name generator to name all the charecters in our party. One of the names was ironside and he was our dragoon. I remember this one boss fight that dragoon was the only one who survived thanks to the jump ability. So I thought I would keep the name for myself.

Also it apparently is the name of a ship that sunk during world war 1. That's pretty cool. Minus the king part anyway.
karocchi
My name in romaji is karorina but that sounds weird so I shortened it to karo. For account usernames is add -cchi, -rin, -ri, -sensei, etc if "karo" is not available
hat
For my previous names: I go under Infinity/Infinitum pretty much on every forum I was ever on.

for my current name: hat, hat hat hat hat.
Laudi
its.. uhh.. my name..
Miyu Okamoto
For me I chose Miyu Okamoto as since I last knew from osu! Twitch streams it was trendy to have a username of a waifu and well, I mean, it was hard to get one! So I went with an idol girl from probably my favourite idol anime, Miyu Okamoto from Wake Up, Girls!. And that is pretty much it.

787
a Plane
MiharuUwU

henry11hei
My previous username Henrygame3 comes from when I was 12. MY real name was Henry and game come from playing games and 3 comes from how many emails I had

My now username Henry11hei

Asphyxialice
I was a pretty big weeb in high school. Tried learning Japanese for like a hot second, made this name, and then never followed through learning lol
Liiraye
Some dude from a tibia war OT nicked lira yeah

Lira is slang for play

Liiraye

Not really sure why I picked it, just top of my head.
Lunpai
I wanted to be my own user name than twinning with someone. So I said I am Senpai now! So I thought Luna was cute and made it my twitch name for all my kouhais to watch me on twitch~ LunaSenpai
sl0_old_1
my initials, and a random number
ZerouTwo
to express my love of a certain anime waifu from Darling in the Franxx, I chose to enter my username as ZeroTwo. However, it was taken so I had to change it. Luckily, I for some ever reason chose to add a u. It still sounded the same or somewhat the same when pronouncing it. That's where ZerouTwo was born. I use variations of ZerouTwo like ZeRoU and ZerouTwos.
raizo_old_1
from a one piece character
NuageFractal
It's a song.

Miiso
I like miso soup :3
Ethan
Well... you can probably guess why I chose this name.
makemecool123
Apparently my username is kind of random it doesn't have any source, anything that was related to my experience or anything, they weren't inspired to it. It pretty much a random username that I was thinking since I was creating this account during in the username portion of registering an account, you could say I'm not that a creative person before.

So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
MindOfMarks
Thats just my mind lol

KotoriIsMyWaifu wrote:

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.

Well quite recently I also started playing a DAL VN and of course I went down Kotori's path first. Except, my avatar is currently Rinne Sonogami. Other than that, believe it or not, I hadn't watched any of the Love Live series until recently, so I also grew some attachment to Kotori Minami. So basically, my name originated from just being your typical weeb lol.
YukiAyase
Well I got mine from the WW2 Zeppelin and a chinese brand ram literally named Zeppelin
The "ItsMe" came in when I was thinking of a username for some other game and it got stuck to me ever since and I really like it

Tennes is pretty self explanatory

Aoi Boii_DELETED
My original nickname was nadolsky which is a reference to my friend Kuba "Nadol" Nadolski who decided to delete his YT channel "Pastolektor Premium".

My current nickname is Aoi Boii which is a small parody of British player Aoi Sakura.
memkip
zedd00
It probably originated from the time i was into electro and pop music, i really liked Zedd (the DJ) so i thought,, "Hey why not make it my username?" but it was ocuppied so i added the double zeros as something i thought was cool, i read it as zedd-o
Kinda silly lol
leftforkilling

-Akeno
So my ign is Aleks0 is my name (it Russian no bully pls) and then a 0 because 99% of the time some one has Aleks so I just put a number in my name
Totoryu
I really liked Totoro when I was young.

keremaru
kids in middle school kept calling me caramel

so i turned it into keremal (c sounds like k, just flipped around the e's and the a)

now i want it to be kere because it's shorter, easier and i like it but nobody will give me supp :^(
Your mom

[IGNORE THIS I WAS YOUNG AND DUMB]
DangerusDuck27
So... i was playing in all videogames with the nickname ¨¨duck¨¨,but in someway,my friends created a competitive Team fortress 2 team called ¨¨dangerous¨¨,so my name came from that.
I loved how is DangerusDuck was XD.
kirumi122
my name came from my real name Kirsten and since I like the name Kurumi so I combined it. The numbers are my birthdate
Tateshina Eve
I simply had a tsundere obsession at the time, but in true fact I love all waifus
AeternaXVIII
“Aeterna” (eternal in latin) is from the song Lux Aeterna, which has been used in the movie Requiem for A Dream, which means a lot to me.
“XVIII” represents my favorite card in tarot, The Moon.

My name used to be: *realName*FairyTail, and oh yes did I regret it. And yes I was obsessed with fairytail. Oh god.
Isshiki Kaname
Originally, it is a character's name from Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata series.
But the thing is, I got this username because of my friend who loved the said character. I wanted to prank him, haha. Anyway, after actually watching it myself, I ended up liking Eriri instead (As of November 15th, 2019 I currently have her as my avatar picture.), which some people don't like me for. Haha.
RVMathew
username: my real name
Saen
Idk, i just thought it would look cool
Syako
My little pony ^^
Lidiloth
My childhood name i made up in a RPG
Phoenix999Osu
Phoenix came from the fact that it was the first thing I thought of when I was 11 and making a username that didn't include my actual name. Then I used the name for basically everything that I signed on. Soon I logged on to Osu and didn't really want to spend too much time making a name, hence Phoenix999Osu.

Ironic is that I used 888 as the numbers behind almost all my usernames, but I chose 999 for Osu instead. Why I did that, I'll never know.
sisig
Came from a popular Filipino food I thought of at mass and changed it that instant since I had supporter
Vampella

c0bica
So long ago my name was Sornoxi but a friend in discord made a typo and called me Cornoxi. Since then, people kept calling me corn or corn on the cob. Sometime later I was going through a phase where I placed the letter o with zero. o --> 0 So I started calling myself c0b and later I discovered osu! I felt like my name was too short so I smashed my keyboard and went with it. c0bica :)
resunwonknu
I had all the user names which I always used taken by somebody else so I just reversed it
XRedKiller
I dony really know, i used a simillar name in mc prev "XTheRedKiller" i was naming my self TheRedKiller but it felt not complete so i added an X and the red cuz its badass idk, to add extra badassness Killer is added, now i cut off the The and it has became XRedKiller cool enough

the city next to the one I was born in (my parents weren't that creative, apparently)
misax
My name is Misa but i added an X because it looks cool
Minion24
first: it's not related to the minions from despicable me, everytime somebody sees my name and says "banana" i slightly get triggered

ok, now for the origin of my username, well... my brother simply came up with it while we were trying to find an username to use on minecraft, but the username i chose for osu was Minion_Gamer, i began heavily regretting that username but i couldn't afford a supporter tag to change it, until i got gifted one on my birthday (cause i took part in a profile pic collab and didn't have supporter) and i finally changed my username to Minion24
W-Day
First of all, my nickname should've been Wan-Day, but I spelled W-Day for some reason. WanDay is a misspelling for One Day, and I noticed that after few years of using that nickname :D
AwfulAccuracy
um about that.
Razor
i choose razor because im dead inside
Sasami-san
Sasami-san is best girl so my reasoning should be clear
shmowzoww
Adventure Time! When Finn said Shmowzow in one of the first episodes, so I thought it would make a pretty interesting username :P

MrDuckee
I originally had mine as "ducky" followed by number spam on MC but when I wanted to change it I tried just having it as "Duckee" and when that wasn't available I put an 'x' in front so xDuckee was born.
S a x o
For me, I was in my room while watching a Youtube video on video game glitches and was eating ramen when I spilled my ramen on my phone, and just came up with my username because it sounded fun :3
Melodies
I don't really think I need to say where or what my username comes from, it's easy to understand tho
