scene
well uh, it wasn't taken so i just decided to take it :)

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.

Aextra
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.

MajorGamer
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

DeletedUser_5153421
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.

Joseph_Lis
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
