i was either grade 3 or 4 when i made this account and my friend at school called me dyl byl or smth bc my names dylan so uh, yea. i would love to change my user though lol.
i was named bommy985 because numbers were cool at the time, and it was the result of a mispelling of populermmos creeper named bomby,
my new name, i dont hd(only relevent to here, was actually avilible about 6 mouths ago so i changed my name to that, because i dont ever do good with hidden.

I think all of the drama for my username happened in the toilet seat right after I came home from school during late 2016. I mixed up a portion of my first name and last name and boom there an edgy name.
Think i was way too edgy for this world and added "official" thinking someone already took it but ehh that's all gone now.

I got mine from three words: Music, Rhythm and Man
I think its obvious where i got my name from (unless someone does not know the world of Pokémon...)

amazing pokemon tho u have good taste
I had an old username I made when I was 7 so I thought it was time for a new one so I named my self after a deck in YuGiOh call madolche but I'm not the 1st person with that idea as it was almost always taken so I added bot to it with some inspiration from liquid chap
When I made this account, I was binge-reading anarchist theory and had recently completed The Conquest of Bread.
not a clue
it's a username i have been using since 2017. i just looked at a list of colors and found this name
The story of my name is so random.
I used to have lots of username before, in other games, but one day a few years ago I was like, okay, imma settle down and think about a name that I'll use always. I came up with Vex, randomly, I really like it, and most of my online friend know me as Vex, but obviously, it's very short and normally taken in most places.
So I thought, okay, imma add a sufix. And -tron came to my mind. So here I was, with Vextron. But I ended up using Vxtron in here, and I don't really know why hahah
Looking forward to change my name to the closest thing I can to Vex ^^

my username was supposed to be "PositroniX" but i was a dumbass and made a typo in the username when making this account... i've been thinking about getting supporter to change it to something less stupid

When I was 12 I faced the problem of choosing a nickname. And since I could easily beat my friends in games I chose Best, but for putting some numbers and technological things I made it Best02_. But when I grew up I understood it was a really bad name, so I decided to change it and use just my name, Albert. So I made my nickname CallMe_Al. And If I have to be sincere I kinda like to be "Al" also in real life. Maybe I will but the supporter for change my nickname but for now, the 12year-old-me will be attached to me...
My username, "mrlacpeanut" had 3 parts: mr for mister (I don't know why I put that in 
), Lac being my IRL name and Peanut being a translation of Lac into English
Lac means happy, but it can also mean peanuts.

TBH my username is just an entire r/boneappletea moment. my real IGN is TanGentFish, it was supposed to be PungentFish or PGFish.
I kinda just sticked to it bc it kinda sounded cool.

i think i did this already, but here we go again.
i went through a multitude of usernames, so on and so forth. we got a nintendo switch, and we played arms. there was a character named Min Min, and i honestly liked her character. obviously MinMin would be taken, so i did the most creative thing and replaced the 2nd M with a N, and that's how i got my username

OT: idk probably through some form of evolution millions of years ago.
someone gave me a nickname and i just added osu after it
my old username SimplyJay14 originated when I was thinking of a username, on my head was "I can't just use simply, jay as a username" then i went back to simply, jay and it sounded nice hence SimplyJay but the 14 meant something personal for me. 14 is the age when things started to brighten up for me since my bad childhood that consisted of me being raised by the internet better than my biological mother could raise me.
my current username FloatinSardines came from FlyingTuna. it stemmed from me that a joke type username would fit into the community and help me enjoy the game more hence i just used parallels from flying tuna to use this current name.

Alpha Centauri is my discord username, so I just decided to use that. It was taken though, so I had to use a variation of it, and here I am
I guess it started in 5th grade when I was the only kid in my class who preferred waffles over pancakes, then through my Xbox years I used WaffleAday, but once I got a pc I used TwoWaffleAday to be like the next step. But if I had a few extra bucks I would change it to SynDes cause that’s the name I now use on everything.

oh and my previous names, I have a backstory on those. c u p c a k e was an inside joke between my best friend and I who passed away, and since cupcake was taken I just went with it spaced out. - Yoruka - was one of my first ever waifus, so that's why that name was that. But, I prefer scene. This user is such a great username and I will always go by it from now forth.

Hello there.
Over the years I used many nicknames, most of them in minecraft exclusively. In the following post I will focus on the four major one. On osu I just used one name tho.
It all started with my YouTube Account I guess. I registered at YouTube around seven years ago with the username FriendzoneLp, not yet knowing the meaning of "Friendzone", but I thought it sounded kinda cool so I took this name. LP of course, as many in that era, because of me wanting to make some Lets Plays and I wanted to upload them on YouTube.
My second name, N00bieLP (only Minecraft): I took that name when I was creating a Mojangaccount. I was using that name because I just started out with playing (online) games and I took that name ironically. I was about 11 to 12 years old back then.
My third name, the name I use for the most time and the name I am currently using on osu, Battle net and many others is Aextra. One day my Dad and I were driving back home to the place where my mother and I lived and I wanted to use the time (it was an around two and half an hour ride) to think about a name I could take. I still had some YouTube stuff in mind and I thought of some introduction. I came up with the german phrase "Extremes Hallo" something something what kind of translates into "Extreme hello" or something like that. I then thought of that by itself as kind of boring and then I just took the beggining letter of my real name and put it in front of "Extra": Aextra was born. I then proceeded to use that name for basically everything. So basically this name was made up with this weird phrase / word play in mind.. xD unironically. I was around 11 to 13 years old back then.
My fourth and last name I'm focusing on right now is the name "Ultimate Wassakocho".
I currently am using this name on my Twitch account and my YouTube channel. It comes from my former chemistry teacher who pronounced the word "Wasserkocher", translates to water boiler/kettle/water heater. She was from either a north-west part from germany or north-eastern part, I cant recall it correctly. Anyways.. I really liked that pronounciation and I made it my name. This one was meant to be taken ironically I guess. I was around 13 to 14 years old back then.
That was a good summary of my name history, I hope I didnt spam here too much.

I'm a cringey kid, I chose name a few years ago when I was still playing minecraft, I chose it as my username on ps4 minecraft, because I thought it rhymed, now my accounts have names like, "themajorgamer", my youtube is called "themajorking", when i played roblox it was "themajorkiel"etc etc

well for rename i had a similar format to a player who i used to look up to, kind of ironic how it's the opposite now, but hey, it fits.
'tors' is supposed to mean mountains, btw
as for my previous name, i made that up when i was way younger and stuck with it, shiney because i couldn't spell (and i liked sunshine or shiny objects, i dont rember actually) and 01 because 1 was usually taken.

I had a favourite bandori character...moca aoba, I decided to give her a little nickname and slowly it became my username.

Changing it at this point feels pointless.

the first two letters are from my first name and the next 3 are from my last name. I then added tan at the end lol
Привет всем. Мой ник: Joseph_Lis
Его я придумал в 4 классе, когда у меня в сарае жила маленькая лисичка. Назвал я ее Joseph, так как на тот момент смотрел Аниме JoJo. Но... Она погибла... Ее перехала машина прямо около моего дома...
С того момента я стал очень сильно любить животных, особенно Лис. Сейчас я ежедневно хожу в приют животных и кормлю их.
Вот как то так. Спасибо за внимание :3

I was new to osu so yes I used to click squares
I thought Username is like user id,But i was wrong. And thhere it goes my name
i wanted to try out osu! at the time, realized i can't change username or anything a day later when i quickly started loving the game, also though it was a nice username
If you used to play mobile gacha games or any other mobage and knowing well it's character artist, well it definitely similar o/

Oh no. I hate it. What did my 13 year old self thinking about this username...
Speaking of usernames, maybe I should create a survey whether or not I should change my name.
Also, how did you find your username, to the person below me?
Read it with caution! Maybe secrets revealed?
Yeah, not that interesting, but rather my wild imagination.I played a game called "Pixel Gun 3D". I changed my username to "JustABeginner" to show that I'm a noob at that game.
Then, I got introduced to osu!. Before this name, I wanted to name something - which is even worse, "HowToSurvive". I mean, the username had taken so I named it JustABeginner.
